A Faceful of Sizzla Jizzla

Alistair Overeem – 1RD KO ( via violent tiger knee is the Jizzla’s prediction)
Andrei Arlovski – 2RD KO (flying knee, if he guards his face on the way over)
Ronaldo Souza – 3RD Submission (‘Jacare’ is one of the best at what he does, would like to see him fight Mayhem in a rematch)
Kevin Randleman – 1RD KO (Randleman has an underestimated stand up game, look for a violent hook)
I’m not calling the last fight, as I don’t know much about those two fighters.
Let’s see if the Jizzla was right.

Yeah, it’s a follow up over a week after the event, but it’s still a follow up. Besides, it’s me, your humble Jizzla, so it’s always worthy the wait before I launch my Jizzness out to the world.

Fedor vs. Rogers – Once again, Fedor delivers in both excitement and “OMFG!!” factor. A punch that hearkens back to the days of his fights with Big Nog (Fight # 1 springs to mind), and delivering it in front of over 5 million viewers (and an unknown amount of people viewing online . Despite fighting another opponent that was much larger than him, Fedor showed why he is so dangerous, attempting multiple submissions even with a face full of blood from an opening round jab from Rogers that cut his nose. For Fedor, Overeem seems the next logical step, for Rogers, Bigfoot Silva would be an interesting match up to test where he can go from here.

Mousasi vs. Sokoudju – Another very exciting fight, with Sokoudju doing well until he gassed, suffering another defeat at the hands of Mousasi, but showing that he still has a lot to offer the MMA world as he gets ready to fight in Japan in December in the SuperHulk tournament final at Dream.

Shields vs. Miller – I was expecting more out of this fight, and although Shields did dominate, it was in, IMO, boring fashion. The most exciting part of this match was Miller’s RNC with the seconds ticking away. Had he secured it maybe 10 – 15 seconds earlier, it would have been lights out for Shields. That being said, Miller needs to work on his wrestling more, and Shields needs to work on defending the belt, as he has plenty of contenders willing to step up against him.

Bigfoot Silva vs. Werdum – A good match up that had me excited early. With Silva jumping on Werdum early, but Werdum, true to form, holding on and staging a comeback in the second round. Where each fighter goes from here remains to be seen. Werdum and the loser of Fedor/Overeem would be good, as would a match up with Rogers. Guess we’ll have to wait until Strikeforce lets us all know later on.

I didn’t get to watch the undercards, so I can’t comment, but I heard they weren’t all that bad. All in all though, I must say that this event was more exciting that the last few UFC’s put together. That being said, the UFC still has some exciting match ups down the pipe, I just wish that the fight card as a whole was better for each event. Hopefully competition from the likes of Strikeforce on free TV will get them to change. Only time will tell…
