Couture is a bad ass

What a great UFC fight card this weekend. I very much enjoyed Koscheck getting dominated by GSP and watching Couture kick Gonzaga's ass. I thought that 'zag had a good chance to beat Couture but other than about 1 punch and 1 kick, he got totally dominated. Couture is amazing, no idea who would has a shot at knocking him off the top.

Sounds like the next event is free on Spike. Have to love the free shows, good job UFC.

Great video

Still slacking on the updates but a friend passed me this great video today. What if business meeting was like internet forum responses. Foul language.

07 Big man looking good for UK

Wow, here I thought there was no way that we'd add another player for 07 and Leonard Washington's name starts poping up. It sounds like this kid is similar to Chuck Hayes or Charles Barkley where as he is 6'6"/225 but can work the post like a guy much larger. Known for rebounding and using his body well. He is finishing up summer school so that he can quailify for 07 and things are looking good. Here is a clip of him:

Been slacking

So I've been slacking on the blog, guess the new wore off a little. Here are the catch-up tidbits:

UK gets a verbal commitment from Rose Hill's (Ky school) Dakotah Euton (pronounce oot-en). Euton is 6'7"/200 and a 2010 recruit, yes two thousand ten.

UFC had a great Fight Night Live and what sounded like a meh PPV from Ireland. The FNL main event was Fisher vs Stout and it was a war. The undercard bouts were all good, with some crazy knockouts. Didn't get the PPV cause it didn't seem exciting, but sounded like mostly decisions.

UFC Ultimate fighter is this weekend, and I am really looking forward to it. Pulling for Jens and Nate Diaz mostly because BJ and Manny both get on my nerves. Haven't heard who they have put as the undercard on this but usually some fun match ups of guys that were on the show. Would love to see them bring Gabe back to get his ass beating that he deserves, just as long as he doesn't get any fame or money from the fight. Hate that guy.

As for my personal stuff, had been playing some decent golf till I went to Old Silo this past weekend. I sucked it up bad and Brandon handed my ass to me 77 to 86 IIRC. If anyone knows of any good golf scramble around the Lexington area let me know. Its been a while since I have played in any and I am getting the shakes! Not that anyone reads this, but nice to make believe that anyway.

Donovan to Magic a blessing for Jai Lucas?

Well I think Jai Lucas just got an early Christmas present plopped strait into lap. I could be wrong but I think he has been regretting his decision to go to Florida after PPat signed with the Cats. And now that Billy D is headed to Orlando I think Jai could get out of his LOI if he wants to. Surely he'll see what the Gator's new coach has to say and I would not be surprised either way.

As for my preference, I am fine either way. At first I didn't want him, but I have resorted to trusting Coach Gillispie. If he feels JL is worthy of a ride, by all means sign him up. There are some rumors of a South American PG that is working on qualifying for 07 that UK could have a chance at. This kid is supposed to be a possible one-and-done high lottery pick, I'd be all for it. Hell give us both with a little BCG scholarship magic.

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.

Another possible name for 07

Nemanja Calasan, 6'9"/245 from Serbia currently playing Juco ball at Midland College. He has gotten out of his LOI with Utah so is on the market. Could help us as far as big guys go although the things I have read on him are about his offense. I am more interested in someone pulling boards and gaurding the block. Couldn't find too much on this guy though.
