Free UFC tonight on VERSUS!

You can get your MMA fix for free tonight at 9pm ET on Versus. The card is promising, especially for a non-PPV event!

The main event is Hardy vs Lytle.

Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy is a trash talking Brit with the striking skills to back it up. Chris "Light's Out" Lytle is a five time "Fight of the Night" bonus winner. Both have something to prove. Hardy is coming off a 3 fight losing streak and Lytle has announced his retirement after this fight, so he will most likely wanna go out with a bang.

Fun Fact: Lytle's last fight was a loss via unanimous decision to Brian Ebersole...owner of the "Hair-row" (see UFC 133 Girly Awards post)

UFC 133 Girly Awards!!!!!

Dana hands out his awards with bonus checks, ours come with a hug & a giggle....no one has ever claimed the hug ;o(

Best Shorts:

Dennis Hallman

OMG!

Hallman lost a bet and entered the octagon wearing a tiny blue speedo that made the ring girl’s short shorts look like capri pants. They were so small that he had to keep reaching back there and pulling them out of his crack. I am pretty sure that I saw his sack!

Best Hair & Most In Need of a Stylist:

Brian Ebersole

Brian Ebersole shaved his chest hair into an arrow, now known as the "hair-row", pointing at his chin. The best part was that he was fighting the dude in the speedo. The Hallman vs Ebersole Fight was by far the most entertaining bout of the night. At certain angles it looked like the arrow was pointing at Hallman's man panties!!!!

Best Name:

Constantinos Philippou

Listening to the color commentary of the fight between Philippou (pronounced fill-a-poo) and Rivera had me giggling like a 13 year old boy. Comments like "fill-a-poo on top" just did me in.

UFC 133 Recap

Overall..it was a pretty good card, definitely entertaining.

Lets start with the prelim fights that were televised for free on Spike:

Chad Mendes defeated Rani Yahya by unanimous decision

*******************************************************

Alexander Gustafsson defeated Matt Hamil via TKO (the ref stopped the fight because Hamil could no longer intelligently defend himself from the barrage of punches & elbows hitting him in the face) in Round 2. I really admire Hamil and found it difficult to see him first as a curtain jerker and then taking such a savage beat down. My heart sank even more when he announced his retirement 2 days later.

*******************************************************

Rory Macdonald defeated Mike Pyle via TKO in the first round. Not my favorite fight. Rogan compared MacDonald to a young GSP.

*******************************************************

Constantinos Philippou edged out Jorge Rivera by split decision. Not the best action but the best color commentary (see Girly Awards post for details). Still pretty impressed by Rivera, cuz he is old as dirt ya'll.

*******************************************************

Brian Ebersole defeated Dennis Hallman via elbows to the face (TKO) in Round 1. Although short, this was by far my favorite fight! The Hair-row vs Man Panties (see Girly Awards post for details)

 

When announcing the post fight bonuses UFC President Dana White said "Ebersole's added money was a reward for "getting those horrifying shorts off TV as soon as possible," and "He deserves every dime of the $70,000 he made tonight."

*******************************************************

Vitor Belfort knocked out Yoshihiro Akiyama 1:52 in round 1. The old Vitor is back...vicious and lightning fast. It was awesome. There is some controversy about whether or not Vitor landed an elbow to the back of Sexyama's neck right at the end but no official ruling was made. So...Suck it Haters!

*******************************************************

And finally the main event,

Rashad Evans defeated Tito Ortiz via TKO in Round 2 and I did a little happy dance. It was a short dance because although I loathe Tito, I do not like Rashad either. These two fought before in a somewhat boring match that ended in a controversial draw. But Ortiz was no match for Evans this time. A violent knee to the body from Rashad dropped Tito who quickly "turtled up" and took a beat down. Come on Dana....please forget Tito's phone number!!!
