Looky here, two weeks in a row! I’m on a roll T-bone. Let’s see how long I can keep this up.
We are in the middle of a whole lot of mma action going on. UFC Fight Night – Henderson vs. Belfort happened, as did UFN Fight for the Troops earlier in the week, and then this weekend I believe we have UFC 167, GSP against Hendricks. How far does Hendo drop and what should he do? Liz looked stiff and tentative, what about her? And then I’m pulling for the upset in the championship fight, Hendricks all the way.
Where does Dan Henderson go from here?
I wonder how far back Dan Henderson will drop in the rankings or how far up Vitor Belfort will rise? I don’t even know where he was ranked prior to the fight. I feel bad for Henderson as he got caught coming in looking for his over the top, Sylvester Stallone style right. By looking I mean by watching the ground. Again. But hey, it has worked for him in the past. Dan got rocked and went down, Vitor swarmed him and that was about it. Dan subconsciously was fishing for a leg but he looked confused.
I don’t know how I feel about the whole TRT garbage with these two. I am not even sure I know the facts. I have heard that Vitor would most likely be denied a license to fight in Nevada due to his therapy. Hence the reason his latest fights have been in Brazil. We all know that Dan is on it though because he has openly stated he is. Do the two then negate the advantage?
It was sort of sad to see Henderson lose for the 1st time due to strikes but I am kind of happy for Vitor. I feel he poses the biggest threat to Bones. Anyways if you missed the fight or if you want to see action figure Belfort, here is a link I almost always go to to watch the fights. It’s a clean site and free to sign up.
On to Liz Carmouche…
#4 Liz Carmouche went up against #6 Alexis Davis at the UFN Fight for the Troops card. I think most people had already picked Girlrilla, awful nickname, as the winner. She was anything but. She got werked. Yes – worked with an e. WERKED. All it seemed to take to get a fire under Davis’ ass was getting socked a few times. Once she started bleeding (which I’m told girls are already comfortable with(gross Steve(I know, I know,))) her striking picked up and she looked more fluid.
From the get go, Carmouche moved like a gorilla. She looked stiff and bigger, bulkier, more dense. Once she couldn’t put Davis down and Alexis picked her apart with them inside leg kicks, it was over Rover. I wonder how far back Carmouche drops, maybe they swap places? Liz to #6 and Davis to #4?

FORT CAMPBELL – Alexis Davis may have kicked her way right into title contention in the UFC’s women’s bantamweight division.
UFC 167 – I am frickin’ pumped for this one
Long time welterweight champion GSP vs. hungry and prideful Johny Hendricks. Not that Georges isn’t hungry and prideful, it’s just easier to be that way when you want something vs. when you have already had it for a long while.
I would like to see a change of hands in the 170 lb class. I think Hendricks can and will do it and then maybe even have a similar reign as GSP. I just see that tenacity in him, especially when they show episodes like they did on this last one of UFC Countdown. Episode 3 is the one I’m talking about and just watching it made me want to be 16 and wrestling again.
Listening to one of my teen idols, John Smith, not take any bs during that interview was awesome. Seeing Johny almost puking on the mat and then getting yelled at to get going was awesome. Smith said something like whether you’re training for a national title or an Olympic gold medal, you’re going to train wrestling here.
My prediction is Big Rigg takes it in the 2nd by gnp. I do worry about his cardio but if he has been training as much as it indicated, he should be good. Unless GSP has simply been outworking him. Which is entirely possible. Here is a link to that episode from mmajunkie:

That is all for today my friends. I can write nor link anymore. What do you think? How far does Dan drop or Vitor climb? Where does Liz end up and who does Davis challenge next? Who ya got for the fight this weekend? I think I have a poll over there in the sidebar. Comment. Vote. Share. Peace.
