The Contender and Ultimate Fighter

The Contender:

He Said:

Sakio Bika V. Sam Solamon

This was a great fight that took place. Sakio and Sam previously fought years ago, with Sam coming away with a close decision. This time around Sakio got his revenge. This sets up a great final fight between Sakio and Jaedon Codrington. It will be a close fight that will most likely be a slugfest. I am going to go with Jaedon with a win via majority decision. He just seems like the hungrier fighter, with tremendous power and is much younger. This is a live finale next Tuesday and is actually being fought in Boston at the Garden.

This season of The Contender flew by once the semi-fnals came around. Paul Smith was my favorite, and he probably could have gone on to the finals if the eliminations were made differently. Anyways, since the finale is going to be in Boston HE suggested we go. At first I thougth oOOoo exciting. Then I remembered there would be no music, no slow motion punches and no close ups. I would have to decipher the boxing match all by myself from way up in the bleacher stands. Hmm.... I think I'll save my $40 dollars and watch it on replay!

Last week we had a great fight between Dan Barrera and Ben Saunders with Saunders winning a decision. Tonight, J-Rock took on George and it was a good fight that ended in a TKO. The first couple minutes was basically a feeling out process but George was basically just picking and choosing when to land a jab. George was pretty much in control and landed a clean uppercut to J-Rocks chin dropping him instantly and then pouncing on him until the ref stepped in. No real drama this week, except Hughes being Hughes. He is such a prick! Go team Serra! 6-1 so far. Keep watching because this season is ultra-competitive because most are amatuers, so it's hard to pick a clear cut favorite.

She Siad:

Before watching this season of the Ultimate Fighter, I knew very little about Matt Hughes, only that he was a big time UFC fighter. I'm very excited to see if Matt Hughes will watch the episodes and see what a jack ass he is. Possibly though, he might be up to high on his horse to even notice what he really is. The first episode I thought Sera was going to be annoying, but his personality and coaching skills allow me to disregard his annoying little swagger and comments. I am excited for it to whittle down to the finals so I can chose a favorite.....right now they all kind of blend in with their egos.
