Tonight was an awesome night for me. As I was watching UFC at a local establishment the TV next to the UFC had the Mavericks get their 15th straight win.
Let's start with the UFC. Of the televised matches, all the fighters won that I wanted.
First Hughes did not win in the fashion that I had hoped. He looked good tonight but I was looking for a tap or referee stoppage. It will be interesting to see who he fights next.
I expected Franklin to win but thought it would have been a little more competitive. Rich completely dominated "The Athlete" tonight. It was great to see that. Franklin-Anderson will be great.
Now the NEW UFC Heavyweight of the Worrrrllldddd, "The Natural" Randyyy Coutureeee. Randy brought his A game tonight. He looked great. I thought it was all over after that first punch nailed Tim. I give him credit though, he recovered enough from it not to get his butt knocked out. Randy completely dominated Tim tonight. and it was great. Is Cro Cop next for Randy?
Finally, my Dallas Mavericks notched their 15th in a row and 50th of the season. If they can play like this in May and June then no one will have a chance. Like I said though, if. It is great that Dirk doesn't have to be the man every night. With cast that the Mavericks have, it is a coaches dream come through. Everyone knows their role and everyone is playing up to their ability. It could be a great run in May and June. I can't wait.
I am on my way out the door to catch the show. I can not wait. This ought to be a tremedous show. I have been waiting to see Franklin and Hughes come back from their defeats. I think they both will totally dominate. Franklin might have to work a little harder than Hughes. I think MacDonald has a little something but in the end look for Franklin to win. Hughes will have no problem unless he comes in cocky and I don't ever see that coming. Now the main event. Couture vs. Sylvia. I really think Randy can win. If I had to pick tonight's winner I will saw Randy. I think he can get Sylvia down. It will not be easy but he will and when he does that is where all the damage will happen. I think Sylvia is a little soft on the ground when he is on the botton. That big body will give Randy fits but he will pull through.
I was born an Okie and raised a Texan. In college sports I root for both teams until the play each other and then I pull for OU. I stick with all the local teams being The Cowboys, Rangers, Stars, and Mavericks. You will definitely find I will have a bias towards my favorite team. At times I can be a true spin machine if you know what I mean.
