Caught UFC 67 over the weekend and it was a very decent show. Not as much star power (yet) compare to UFC 66, but the fights were tremendous, especially the Griffin v. Edgar scrap.
Edgar was an unknown, but not for long. He defeated the next big thing in Tyson Griffin and in spectacular fashion. It was 15 minutes of blistering punches, kicks, subs and grappling. in other words, NOTHING like a Tim Sylvia "fight".
The main event was quite good, but it was more satisfying than good. Anderson Silva the striker submitted Travis Lutter, the Ju-Jitsu Ace as he likes to think of himself. I honestly do not know of a more cocky mid-level fighter, except for maybe Chris Lebin. Even so, Leben is just trying to promote himself. Lutter, on the other hand, believes his ground fighting is next to Godliness.
Apparently not.
Silva landed a boot to his chin from the ground and Travis fell into a triangle choke. He defended it well for about 30 seconds, but after Silva let loose his elbows, Travis quickly tapped out.
Beautiful.
I'll try not to vent too much in the next two weeks about how lame Tim Sylvia is, but I'm not making any promises.
Go Randy Go!!
