Due to the amount of finishes at UFC 146 Junior Dos Santos vs Frank Mir, TEN fights made it onto the PPV! The heavyweights proved they can entertain with highly technical fights mixed with raw power to create episodes of violence at its most horrifying degree. Bring on Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos two while we wait for Ubereem to return.

Our fellow brits Dan Hardy and Paul Sass picked up wins this weekend too. Hardy with a great first round KO and Sassangle continued his submission rampage through the lighweight division. The emotion Dan showed immediately after his win and humble attitude in the post fight interview goes to show how much his recent losses have changed him as a person and fighter. I hope that this is the start of a winning streak for him.

Unfortunately Mayhem lost his fight and will likely get cut from the UFC. Making this probably the first and last time you see a noogie in the octagon.
Mayhem Miller vs Poo lip
Alistair Overeem’s documentary series ‘The Reem’ has finally provided us with a new episode. I have been wondering how his team would represent him in this installment considering his place against Junior Dos Santos was removed following an elevated ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone.
This episode delves into his family life (his grandma and daughter are so cute), his training with the Blackzilians, some media work for UFC 146 and covers the events surrounding his failed drug test. After being fed speculations and incomplete facts about his situation, it is eye opening to see what really happened at his hearing with the NSAC and how unique a position he was in.

“Junior Dos Santos – an unparalleled hybrid of quickness and devastating power. But half a world from his Brazillian home lurks a challenger unlike any he has ever faced. Frank Mir – one of the most decorated heavyweights in the history of the UFC. His world class proficiency; defined, distinct and notoriously brutal.”
The UFC has released two free fights to start building the hype for the May 27th match up between UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos and Frank Mir.
I have been waiting for this for sooooo long. Tomorrow JDS will finally become heavyweight champion. If I say it often enough maybe it will come true.
