UFC 146 Dos Santos vs Mir: Results
The heavyweight slugfest last night in Las Vegas was everything the fans hoped it would be. The main card of UFC 146 had no desicions and was full of exiting fights, fast paced action and spectacular knockouts. Junior Dos Santos was able to defend his belt in the main event against Frank Mir, and the whole heavyweight landscape looked awesome in tonight’s card. Would love for the UFC to do this more, where they have one weightclass dominating the event to really display all the talents of the divison. The prelims were great too, with big names like Dan Hardy, Edson Barboza and Jason “Mayhem” Miller. Read more…
UFC 146: Dos Santos vs Mir
The long-awaited heavyweight slugfest is finally here. Tonight in Las Vegas, UFC 146 will have a Main Card consisting only of Heavyweights, and we could see one of the most exiting cards of the year. Alistair Overrem was given a title shot on this event, but due to his testosterone problems, the card has changed quite a lot. Mark Hunt, Evan Dunham and Gabriel Gonzaga also had to pull out due to different reasons. Instead of the dream match up with Alistair, the champion Junior Dos Santos will try to avenge the submission loss of his friend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira to the challenger Frank Mir.
Cain Velasquez is also making his comeback after losing his title, and I am really looking forward to the Shane Del Rosario versus Stipe Miocic fight. Dont blink guys, cause there could be a lot of spectacular knockouts in this one! Read more…
