New Champion Crowned at UFC 112

It was an interesting night at UFC 112 last night. Three spectactular fights and one of them had a new champion crowned at the end of it. The first big fight of the evening was a Welterweight bout between Matt Hughes and Renzo Gracie. It was a good fight until Hughes defeated him with 20 seconds left in the fight. Hughes hadn’t fought in a year until last night and he looked better then ever.

The next fight was between B.J. Penn and Frankie Edgar for the Lightweight Championship. What a great fight that went all five rounds. I was really shocked that Edgar won the the belt and the unanimous decision. A lot of people felt that Penn should still be the champion. I am sure their will be a rematch down the road.

The Main Event of the evening absolutely pissed me off. Anderson Silva pretty much killed Damien Maia for five rounds. Anderson acted totally inappriopiately and the should have ended well before the final round even started. After the fight was over Dana White through the belt at Silva’s manager and didn’t present it to him like he does all of the other fighters. In my opinion the fans got robbed out of their money because the Main Event sucked. Unfortunately Silva won’t fight for awhile and I’ll be curious to see what Dana White does to punish Anderson Silva

UFC needs some good fights to make up for this one and fortunately they have some good fights coming up in the next few months. Stay tuned for more on this situation and other UFC fights.
