UFC 71 Rampage vs The Ice Man


Some friends and I got the UFC 71 ppv this Saturday and it was a good one overall. It seemed that we all went into it pulling for Rampage but most of us kinda thought that Chuck would pull out the win. When Jackson dropped Chuck with a nice right, then knocked him out the rest of the way we were all speachless. Jaws were on the floor with amazement cause no one saw it ending that way, even if you thought Rampage would win.



He did to Chuck what Chuck normally does to others. Amazing.

The undercard fights were really good also, Karo dominated Burkman in a really good fight that went to decision. It was mostly standup which was surprising and impressive win for Karo. Oh and he even sang a little girly song after he won, which made the impressiveness go way way down.

Keenan Ivory Wayans (actualy Houston Alexander) knocked out Keith Jardine in no time, which I really enjoyed as I think Jardin has been way over rated. Not a huge fan of Starnes but I always enjoy seeing Leban getting his ass beat, even though it was close. The fights were good also.

All in all a very good PPV.

Most non-fans will scoff at how they believe "you got a one minute fight for $40" since Rampage made quick work of the Iceman, but I paid for the excitement. I watched Mayweather vs De La Hoya and although it was an ok fight, it was pretty booring, I'd rather watch UFC any day over boxing until boxers start fighting and not trying to "out point" the other guy.
