[MMA warning] i can't fuckin believe what just happened. not that i diss cro cop the slightest...and okay he's beat barnett before, but the way he handled wandy was something different. i think he just had a better gameplan. i don't think weight is an issue, but it looked like something happened with wandy. from the beginning his behavior seemed a little weird, hasty and yet slow, and maybe one of those punches caught him like nothing ever before so something happened to him mentally. i think he's mentally one of the strongest fighters but u never know what goes on in the head of someone. after the first big punch he just didn't seem like himself. i worry how will he come back from this fight, i never seen him beaten up like that, he was just KTFO'd right there.

pride owgp was possibly the most emotional event i've come across. the matchup's were all really good (except for maybe mauricio rua vs. cyrille diabate in which diabate was really just used like a stepping stone i think). i was holding my breath watching the bouts and i was on everyone's side minus cro cop vs silva in which i was on silva's side, but altogether it was tough to see anyone lose...

to think of it, i think i was kind of on barnett's side in the final match, he was the underdog i believe. then again cro cop has certainly worked hard fot this position. i would've thought that barnett could have gotten mirko down with his weight and strength, but cro cop's takedown defense was better in the end.


on a sidenote, i dunno what is it with my capital letters usage or the lack of them...it's always been kind of random. i am well aware of it but don't seem to be able to change it so i just ignore the thing. life is.
