Happy New Year and welcome to the new decade!!! I have a feeling this year is going to be great and I hope it brings you all much love, happiness, success and good health… and of course the launch
of SammieRhodes.com lol! Now onto UFC 108…Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva:I have mixed feelings on this one in comparison to the originally planned fight- Evans vs Jackson. Why? Because I found myself creaming in my panties dreaming about Rashad knocking the fuck out of Rampage during the Ultimate Fighter show last season and couldn’t wait to see it become a reality.But of course idiot/wanna-be funny guy (Rampage) thought he was going to run off to “Hollywood” and become the next big star because he landed some lame part in an up coming lame movie- and dropped out of the UFC. (yes i’m aware he’s planning to return- wow shocker)
So, here we are talking about Rashad vs Thigao Silva instead. All the same in some ways I suppose…. although Thiago doesn’t make my body hurt with annoyance as much as Rampage…he still does urk the crap out of me with his stupid thumb across the neck thing he does after he wins a fight… what is that? Ugh…stupid!
All in all I do respect Thiagos skills in the octagon and expect to see a seriously exciting fight between these guys.
As I have said before….it’s amazing what you can learn about these fighters once they’re on the UF show.I really didn’t care much for Rashad before he was a coach. But after watching…I think he’s one of the best coaches I’ve seen on the show in a awhile. True spirit and heart. He really was into making these guys as good as they could be. Even if they weren’t on his team!!
Jackson just embarrassed himself- and I believe insulted the sport.Another interesting dynamic to this fight is that both of these fighters only loses seem to be against the ever elusive Lyoto Machida- one of my favs!

Dustin Hazelett vs. Paul Daley:
Dustin Hazelett is an amazing submissionist and anyone who knows Paul Daley knows that he is going to do anything he can to keep this fight standing. It’s the classic grappler vs striker match up on this one. This should be fun to see!

first and hopefully not last!
I feel the exact same way about the title fight and UF this season. I would LOOOOVE to see Rashad knock out Rampage. And I totally agree that Rashad was amazing as a coach on that show. Hoping for him to win tonight!
ufcboobs i agree with u!!!!!!but rashad will lose to rampage!!!!!!!!so i hope rashad wins tonight!!!!!!!! i wanna c rampage vs rashad that’s really good fight !!! thats better ufcboobs!!!!!!!! no blog no luv 4 u !!!!!!!! dont make me bust the darkness!!!!!!!!hahahaha
haha Rampage will not win damnit! You know that fight is still gonna happen. I like how after Rashad’s fight on Saturday he says there’s an actor out there he’d like to fight lol. Enough is enough, Rampage needs to shut his funny guy mouth once and for all.
God damn Rashad scared the shit out of me tonight…he thoroughly dominated that fight until he got careless and let Thiago bait him. I was screaming at the tv lol. Just screaming at Rashad to not let Thiago take him off his game…he had the match in the bag but thankfully he kept composure and made it through it. Paul Daley and Junior Dos Santos had serious knockouts. They both impressed me with their wins. It was an all around good UFC.
OMG I know! I wanted to kill Rashad at the end. I think Thiago would have won if he had followed through after he caught Evans. His cardio got the best of him…Otherwise good, quick fights. Jan 11th’s UFC fight night looks pretty exciting too. I love watching any fights the Diaz brothers are in. Good lineup for a fight night.
I wanna say is Yeah, for Rashad winning the fight. But I heard that this was the shortest PPV fights, so they showed all the free preliminary fights over again. Did not get a chance to see though, but I wanted Rashad to win and he did, YES!!!
Yeah I’m glad Rashad won I just wish it hadn’t gone to decision and was a bit more exciting. And yes all the prelim’s were shown… quick fights. Not my fav UFC.
