UFC 142: Scarface Is Back and Other Thoughts

UFC 142 like the last UFC: Rio was a incred­i­bly epic night topped off by Jose Aldo absolutely killing Chad Mendes dead. Over Aldo’s last 2 fights ques­tions arose that he had lost his killer instinct even though he won his two pre­vi­ous fights. Well all those ques­tions were to put rest when he hit Mendes with a beau­ti­ful knee and fol­lowed up with punches cement­ing him­self as the best 145lb. fighter on the planet. Then after the fight  Jose runs out into the crowd and cel­e­brates. It was by far one of the coolest moments in MMA I’ve ever wit­nessed. Hope­fully with Jose Aldo show­ing that he is still just as bad ass as he ever was. Peo­ple need to pay more atten­tion to the lighter weight classes!

  • I know I’m in the minor­ity but I am a lit­tle bummed Rum­ble got cut. Granted he missed weight but he is still a pretty good fighter. I’m sure he will be back in the UFC. Hope­fully he will have his weight prob­lem fixed.
  • Vitor had a good show­ing and got a huge crowd reaction
  • Rousi­mar Pal­hares is a freak­ing leg lock­ing animal
  • Mario Yamasaki should never be allowed to ref again! It was clear Eric Silva should have been stopped and had a point deducted. Don’t wait till the fight ends and all of a sud­den be like “ oh yea you think you won nope you are disqualified”
  • Edson Bar­bosa, this is really all I have to say
sick ko
  • Seri­ously if you haven’t watched that video smack your self twice

 

And now in the theme of the sick knock­out by Edson Bar­bosa here are the top 5 K1 knock­outs of 2011. Enjoy the violence!
