UFC 101 Thoughts

I initially predicted Forrest Griffin to win but after thinking about it, i think i was just rooting for Forrest but I knew there he had very little chances in beating Anderson Silva. Boy, Anderson Silva did not disappoint. He thoroughly dominated Forrest. That was amazing and just shows how good Anderson Silva really is. I don't think there is anybody in light heavyweight and below who can stand a chance with him. I think the heavyweights might pose a problem when facing him just because of the size and weight advantage.

BJ Penn is back! Woohoo, that guy is amazing as well. He looked stronger and in better shape than in his previous fights. He took the same strategy that GSP employs which is he breaks his opponents down. You could tell he was in much better condition and he was very explosive. He took Kenny down like it was nothing. I loved how his coach told him he needs more explosions. I like the trick he did with the heel kicks in the ribs before the rear naked choke. That was a sneaky move. All in all, a very entertaining event and I am very happy that BJ won.
