Future UFC

What a crazy weekend! It had been 2 weeks since Torin had come out to visit. It definitely felt like a lot longer than two weeks. Friday night was dull, I went to bed early because I had to rest up for work. Saturday was a blast! I got home from work and Kurt, Andrew, and Torin were chilling. Kurt traded me some awesome cards. Went out for lunch. Andrew had work so Torin and I went to Disneyland. Wet met up with our friends from Arizona and Juan and Christa. (The Arizona friends weren’t my friends then, but throughout the day we became friends) After Disneyland Torin and I went to see Bent Life, Ill Intent, and The Beautiful Ones. The show was not packed at all, I was really surprised. Why? Because it was a Saturday night and there were 3 really awesome bands playing together. I’m so glad I went. Sunday work was super hectic. I had to stay late! I missed breakfast with my friends. I had to settle for a shitty burrito. Later Torin and Juan came over! We lounged around and watched the Super Bowl. Go Giants! haha that was my weekend summed up!  I hope all of you had a great weekend! Until next time… keep the edge strong and believe in yourself

p.s. Diaz got robbed! 

p.p.s. BUMMED ANDREW HAD TO WORK AND COULDN’T BE THERE WITH US

My picks for UFC 143 are in red :]

My Picks are in red for UFC on FX this Friday!!!

To think that a lot of people within the MMA community looked at this as a lackluster card for the trip back to Brasil blows my mind. Yeah I’ll give you that there probably could’ve have been more star power on that card. But looking back now I bet that last nights event proved to be anything, but lackluster. From the Edson Barboza heel kick knockout of Terry Etim to the co-main event filled with controversy, and all the way to the Jose Aldo knocking out Chad Mendes in the first round. I love the fact that anything can happen in MMA. This sport is still growing and I’m happy to be apart of this. Also check out the full results from the main event below.

Main card

• Jose Aldo def. Chad Mendes via first-round KO
• Vitor Belfort def. Anthony Johnson via submission
• Rousimar Palhares def. Mike Massenzio via submission
• Carlo Prater wins via disqualification vs. Erick Silva
• Edson Barboza def. Terry Etim via third-round KO
