MMA Breakdown With Caleb Smith

Editorial by

Wake the dog and call the neighbours, it�s that time again! It�s time for Caleb Smith�s MMA column summarizing the last month in MMA.

Sorry for the delay on this edition, as we had thanksgiving I was off my computer for a while (boo!).

But yeah, let�s get this show started; what a big month for MMA, Let me start here with this video showing highlights from Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar from Spike TV in 2005 , widely considered the best fight in MMA history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0gKFvWWyRE

This at the time was the most important fight in UFC history because it gathered a ton of new viewers and it was the first UFC event on cable.

Now let�s see the fox debut of UFC, Velasquez vs. Dos Santos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfUJpBZ_gNo

I can show the full fight of this because it lasted 64 seconds� let that sink in. Yes 64 seconds of fighting on a 60 minute broadcast. Well at least it gathered a crap load of new viewers for the UFC due to it being live on FOX.

It was followed by UFC 139�s Instant Classic main event between 2 pride legends Dan Henderson and Mauricio Shogun Rua. The First ever non title 5 round main event to go the distance , it has been taped as the new gold standard for MMA fights. There is no Highlight video up yet unfortunately but here�s there individual Highlight reels http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmIbM16liGU

Let�s not forget the other FOTY candidate on that night Bellator�s Alvarez vs Chandler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HziG9DBfJf0 Thank you bellator for posting your full fights online in HD!

Anyway�.

In MMA Tycoon we had our own huge fight card Syn 200 , a huge upset on that card as we saw Abayo Bokhari rocket up to 3rd P4P with a TKO in the first round over former P4P king Golden Glory.
