Summary: 5 Stars
UFC 101
DECLARATION
This was one of the best nights ever in my opinion because my favorite fighter ever BJ Penn proved his dominance with his excellent win over Kenflo. Also it proved what a lack of honor Forrest Griffin has as he ran out of the ring like a baby after his devastating loss. The UFC's first trip to Philly was a good one that even produced some fights in the crowd.
DISC 1
1.JOSH NEER VS KURT PELLEGRINO-the first round of the first fight of the televised card is good but stays on the ground for the entire round basically. Both try to work for things but are very well evenly matched and become almost stalemated on the ground. The second round starts out nice with some good exchanges on the feet until it hits the ground again. This time they try for more but each one defends the other well, it ends with Kurt mounting and then taking the back of Neer. The third rounds starts and we are back into some exchanges standing adding in some kicks. Then we hit the ground and it looks like the first two rounds, some sub attempts from Neer and some ground & pound and passing attempts from Kurt. The round ends with Neer landing some great elbows to the side of Kurt's head, still Kurt gets the win so sayth the judges.4/5
2.KENDALL GROVE VS RICARDO ALMEIDA-the first round between these two is basically the two battling in the clinch. Almeida eventually gets it to the ground and even gets a big slam towards the end of the round. Almeida gets it to the ground early in the second but almost falls prey to an arm-bar and a leg lock. Still he lands some shots from the top and goes into his corner getting advice from the great Renzo Gracie. The final round is very even as far as action because sometimes it is down and others it is up, Almeida and Kendall both do very well in this round. Almeida gets the win after three good rounds, like the last a good fight.4/5
3.AMIR SADOLLAH VS JOHNY HENDRICKS-this one lasts only 32 seconds or something like that and Johny gets the TKO over Amir even though it is a controversial stoppage. When watching it live it seemed justified but in replay it is kinda hard to tell, either way recently Amir impressed me like crazy at UFC 106. Still Johny gets this one.4.5/5
4.SHANE NELSON VS AARON RILEY-this one is a rematch that just so happens in the first fight had a controversial stoppage. This one stays standing for the first round with both guys mixing up some punches, kicks, and knees. It lasts way longer than the first fight which only lasted 44 seconds I believe. The second round looks much like the first for the most part but does make its way to the ground eventually. The third round is all Riley as he basically just handles Shane avenging the loss with the win.4/5
5.ANDERSON SILVA VS FORREST GRIFFIN-now this is the one that I am sure every one has seen by now. Every one thought Forrest was going to give Silva his toughest fight at 205 but Silva did not think so once it started. What happened is with out a doubt one of the most embarrassing knock outs in the history of the world. This is also the night Forrest lost me as a fan, he can say what he likes but he showed he has no honor. The night starts out ok with both guys feeling each other out but once Silva got into his groove and tagged Forrest once he started dropping him. Once he started going he just let his hands drop and stood in front of Forrest and manhandled him. The end comes when Forrest rushes at Silva and Silva just throws a little kiss of a jab and lays Forrest flat.
Once Forrest comes to he gets up throws a fit and runs out of the octagon like a little baby. A man accepts defeat and stays in there for the winner to get his hand raised and then to give each other respect. A real man and warrior which Forrest claims to be in his book shows integrity, honor, and respect, Griffin showed he has none. It could have been chalked up to a one time thing and he just lost it in all the emotion, but in the second issue of the UFC Magazine he says he plans on doing that every time he looses. "Run Forrest Run" away from all the fans who believed in you because you disgraced them. I'll give this five out of five because Silva annihilated Forrest.5/5
6.BJ PENN VS KENNY FLORIAN-the fight that I was looking forward to more than any other not only on this card but since UFC 94. BJ Penn had to come back strong in the eyes of many although I always knew [and still do know] that he is the greatest ever. This was his first fight since the whole "Grease" thing at UFC 94 with Grease St. Pierre, and his first 155 title defense since he crushed Sean Sherk. Kenny on the other hand was a roll dominating other contenders in the lightweight division, and thought he could "kill the master". Of course every one here including me of course knew he had no chance of beating Penn, oh how we were right.
It was apparent when watching this live and more so now that Kenny thought since he trained with old Grease for this fight he could use the same strategy. Unfortunately holding Penn against the cage for every round means nothing when you are not way bigger than him. Also there is no such thing as an out of shape BJ at 155 so Kenflo messed up here. The first round is all Penn dominating the stand up cracking Kenny with some big knees and punches, all Kenny does is hold him against the cage every once in a while. The second round is the exact same round with Kenny only pressing Penn against the cage but Penn nailing him with some good hard strikes. The third round is the same thing with Penn dominating the stand up and Kenny pushing against the cage. The best moment of round three is when Kenny throws a superman punch and gets clocked hard, I love it. The forth and final round is extremely excellent and proves Penn's dominance in the MMA world, the lightweight division in particular. Kenny tries the same old thing and gets nailed hard and then Penn effortlessly takes Kenny down. From there he pounds on Kenny until he gets the mount and smashes Kenflo. Naturally Kenny gives up the back and BJ sinks in the quickest rear naked choke I have ever seen in my life. BJ retains the championship and moves on looking for his next opponent, just like I knew he would.5/5
The special features on this disc is the excellent countdown show to UFC 101, great documentary show showcasing the two major fights on this card.
DISC 2
1.JESSE LENNOX VS DANILLO VILLEFORT-a good first round as it takes a second for them to feel each other out but after that they let them go. Both throw some good hands and kicks, also so good take downs. A great second round with both guys throwing some bombs on each other as well as some kicks and some good knees. Good entertaining round with a late take down at the buzzer but I don't think he meant it to be. The third round was looking to be the best round with some good hands being thrown and a great arm-bar attempt. Yet the ref calls it when a cut leaves Danillo unable to see.4/5
2.GEORGE SOTIROPOULOS VS GEORGE ROOP-two former Ultimate Fighter contestants go at it in this fight right here. The first round is good and seemed like it was going to be over quickly when George gets him down early and passes to mount easy. Once there he attempts submissions and continues to do so every time it goes to the ground. Roop does well one the stand up but he almost looses at various points. The second round starts out good with both trying to end it but it is Sotiropoulos who ends it with a nice kimura.5/5
3.MATTHEW RIDDLE VS DAN CRAMER-these two come out wanting to swing but it turns into a grappling match with one trying for take downs and the other defending. The second round goes to the ground with Riddle all over Cramer but he can not end him. Things start out well for Cramer as he comes out swinging and knocks Riddle down. Riddle reverses things with an arm-bar and controls the rest of the round, Riddle takes the victory.5/5
4.THALES LEITES VS ALESSIO SAKARA-not too much happens in the first round of these two well known fighters other than a good scramble. They both open up a little more in the second each landing some good strikes and achieving takedowns, Leites even gets mount. The third round looks much like the first and even the ref steps in and says "listen boys, it's a contact sport". I love that ref but they pick it up a bit after that, Sakara gets the victory in this one.3.5/5
5.TAMDAN MCCRORY VS JOHN HOWARD-the first round has some good action in it with some take downs, sweeps, sub attempts, and some good strikes. The second round is just like the first with each guy attacking and countering, good round. The third round is a little less active but it is still competitive, good fight that ends with John Howard getting the win. This was a pretty good fight that rounded out the prelims, good event.
The special features for this disc include the weigh-ins and of course the excellent behind the scenes feature. This was a good event and the first in Philly, Forrest went down embarrassing and BJ reigned supreme as only he can.
