DVD Reviews of Ultimate Fighting Championship, Vol. 80: Rapid Fire
DVD Review: So, Who Wants Sherk's Title After This?
Summary: 4 Stars
If you'd ever been fooled by simply looking at the likes of B J Penn, and assuming he's a chump, that's a bad assumption you just made! Before I watched the fight with Matt Hughes in UFC 46, I'd picked up UFC 58, and I laughed when I saw that some dude named B J Penn was taking on Georges St. Pierre. Well, St. Pierre won, but by split decision. B J Penn is one tough dude, and don't you doubt that for one second! When you can do things with your legs without the help of your arms, that's impressive. Then you have Joe Stevenson, winner of TUF #2, not to mention he's won over a ton of people! After he defeated Luke Cummo to win the contract, he fought Yves Edwards in UFC 61. No fight with a man like Yves Edwards is an easy fight, but due to cuts on the top of his head, the fight was stopped after the 2nd round, and Stevenson was awarded the win by TKO. His latest fight was an impressive unanimous decision over Kurt Pellegrino, and "Joe Daddy" was given this opportunity. The opportunity to win the Lightweight title. You just have to get past B J Penn! But the title is an interim title since Sean Sherk was stripped of the title after being found guilty by the California State Athletic Commission. We've got a title fight!!
Now the other fight featured the the gladiator introduction is a strange but interesting match-up. Fabricio Werdum is taking on Gabriel Gonzaga. Well, WHOOP-TEE-DOO, right? Maybe, but why? What makes this such a co-main event over the other fights on the card? Well, before his title shot loss to Randy Couture, Werdum was the only man to defeat Gonzaga. It was in 2003, and it was in the 3rd round by TKO. And having a pretty crappy performance in his UFC debut when he fought Andre Arlovski, this might be a chance for redemption. It is also a chance for Gonzaga to get back on track, as well as avenge his very first loss.
This was a UFC where some of the preliminary fights simply needed to stay preliminary, but not all of them. And it was a decent card altogether. There are 9 fights total, and I'll list them below.
Sam Stout vs. Per Eklund: Stout wants to come out swinging and finish his Swedish opponent. It gets interesting at times, but nothing too impressive. Goes to a unanimous decision.
Alessio Sakara vs. James Lee: This ended pretty quickly, but was it stopped TOO quickly? TKO victory.
Paul Kelly vs. Paul Taylor: This was a brawl! This was a war!! Scraps like this keep the fans coming back! Unanimous decision.
Antoni Hardonk vs. Colin Robinson: Another quick one, quicker than the Sakara/Lee fight. TKO.
Jorge Rivera vs. Kendall Grove: Both of these guys are coming off of KO losses, looking to get back on track. This finishes with a KO in under a minute and a half.
Wilson Gouveia vs. Jason Lambert: Both of these guys have shown some tough stuff in the past. You wanna talk highlight knock outs? THIS IS A HIGHLIGHT REEL KO in round 2!
Jess Liaudin vs. Marcus Davis: Hey! Another KO!! 1st round.
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Fabricio Werdum: Well, one of these guys gets back on track with a TKO near the end of round 2.
B J Penn vs. Joe Stevenson: Ok, in the dictionary under BLOODBATH, it says, SEE THIS FIGHT!!! I mean, that freaking octagon floor could've been painted with blood in this. But it ends with a submission near the end of round 2.
What else can be said? Oh yeah!
SEAN SHERK...YOU'RE
