UFC 89: My heart broke

Yesterday I watched a live stream of UFC 89 because it was in Birmingham, England. There was no way I was going to wait till the fights aired our time. So Drea and I spent the afternoon watching the fights on our computer :)

Anyway, I'm so sad Brandon Vera lost his fight. I know how hard he has trained and mentally prepared he was. He really needed this win. :( Errrrrr and I can't stand going to the UG right now, because I hate reading all the negative things people are saying about Brandon. The truth is that it's not over with B. He is not gonna give up and is going to continue to fight.

You should have seen me jumping up and down in my living room when Brandon came out with his Filipino flag TapouT shorts to Black Eyed Peas "Bebot" song. He makes us so proud. And even though he did lose his fight, we are still proud of him. He is Pinoy and represents hard for us. I have every bit of faith in him and I know our Filipino brothers and sisters to too.

My UFC 89 rant:
Bisping vs Leben
It landed in a decision and there you have Bisping winning in his hometown again. Drea and I were looking at each other like wtf when Leben just let Bisping hit him at the end of round three lol. I really enjoyed hearing what Leben had to say after the fight. You could totally tell that he has changed and matured a lot since his TUF days. I also thought it was cute Bisping brought his son in the cage with him and they showed his son giving him a front kick.

Jardine vs Vera
*sigh* I don't wanna talk about it. :(

Sokoudjou vs Cane
Sokoudjou tired out. Dan Henderson was telling him to take him down and he didn't. I really wanted Sokoudjou to win too. That was my first disappointment of the night.

Taylor vs Lytle
It wasn't the Light's Out Lytle this time. I was kinda hoping Taylor would win for his fans in the crowd but never the less it ended in a unanimous decision. I blackberry messaged Chad from Toe2Toe as soon as I saw the Toe2Toe banner in Taylor's corner.

Kelly vs Davis
Well at least we got some good action in the beginning of UFC 89 and this one didn't end in a decision. Good submission by Davis.

This UFC was kinda ehhh. My heart broke when Brandon lost and everyone I wanted to win lost. BOO! :(

At least Dan Hardy won. He fought on the Undercard. We had him as a guest on our show and he also trains with Eddie. He at least saved my night with a happy win even thought I didn't get to watch the fight.

Now I just can't wait for UFC 90 in Chicago. I'm soooo excited to go and not only that, I get to watch my favorite fighter Anderson Silva fight in the octagon again. WHOOOO HOOOOO!
