UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans

UFC 145...
The big headline for this card was title fight featuring Jon Jones and Rashad Evans. With a lot of emotion coming from both sides on this one we were looking at could possibly be the most heated title fight since Liddell/Ortiz II back at UFC 66.

Starting the night off was Mark Bocek against John Alessio. Mark Bocek has been a pretty good go in the lightweight division with most of his losses only coming to the top of the division, and that's saying a lot as the lightweight division is the most stacked division in the entire UFC in my opinion. So it was announced that John Alessio was making his UFC return against Bocek there was good reason to worry. Alessio has been all over, fighting in the UFC, WEC, PRIDE, and Dream to name a few promotions, and was going into this fight with on a three fight win streak. The one thing about this fight was that it seems to almost hit the second gear where things look kinda exciting and then it doesn't exactly go any further than it...

Not that great
Jones is one hell of a fighter but i wish he did more in this fight. He was carful and decisive. I collect all UFC but i don't watch this one to often.

There 3 riveting fights in this DVD. It deserves 5 stars

The first one was between Mark Hominick and Eddie Yagin. It's an even match. Both of them steadily exchanged fists. No one seemed to be better than the other. Then at 1 minute 30 seconds of round 1, fighter 1 was knocked down. Then fighter 2 got on top of him and kept pounding him. Fighter 1 now got cuts around both of his eyes. They were covered with blood but he kept pressing. It's amazing!

In round 2, at 1 minute 49 seconds, fighter 1 was knocked down again. Again fighter 2 was on top of him and kept pounding him. Then at 2 minutes 44 seconds, fighter 1 was able to get up. Then he made fighter 2 pay. Now, fighter 2's face was covered in blood.

After 3 rounds, fighter 1 won by split decisions. It's a suspenseful and unpredictable match.
Sorry, I can't refer these fighters by their real names. Otherwise, it will ruin your enjoyment.

The second riveting fight was between Brendan...
