For the first time ever I missed every fight prediction I made. I felt so confident about my Utah boys representin that I picked Jeremy Horn and Josh Burkman to win their fights and both lost. Josh Burkman and Dustin Hazelett put on one hell of a show. With that fight being the last on J. Burkman’s contract it will be interesting to see where he goes from here. I know EliteXC has been snatching up fighters right and left, or even Affliction.
Diego Sanchez looks to be back on track with a big win.
Finally Amir and CB. Wow. I was really concerned that the fight ended in controversy. I hate when a rematch or grudge match ends in controversy. As a fighter I’d rather get a win in a big way or decisive way rather than squeek somethin’ out cuz the ref stopped it a tad early.
From the replay it looked like CB did start to tap and then after one good solid tap he changed his mind. CB did tap and I loved it. Amir is so surprising as a fighter. I would put him as an underdog in any fight and not be surprised if he found a way to win them.
Hopefully he can move through the division quickly and work his way to a title shot. There are quiet a few people waiting for a chance, but Anderson Silva may have moved on.
Next up: Amir and Jesse Taylor fight in spring of ‘09. How is that for a prediction. Jesse will get his stuff together and Dana will give him a shot and promote the hell out of it as the ‘fight that should have been’ just like the Michael Bisping vs. that deaf kid that should have won.
