Monday Night Open Mic

Howdy Blog O’Doomers!

Hope everyone had a nice, relaxing weekend. It rained like hell here which forced us to change the normal plans of joyriding on the boat and watching the fireworks. Instead we listened to the rain and played a game of “firework, lightning or gun shot.” Either way my dogs are happy the day is over.

I caught the UFC fight. That was strange. Silva was overdoing it even by his standards and got caught and then sort of hinted that he wanted to retire but not really retire…My husband said either way he really didn’t want to fight Saturday. Either Weidman’s early take down stuff spooked him and he knew he was going to have to try something other than coming straight at him or he just doesn’t want to do this and was being a super dick in hopes of pissing King Dana off. At the same time, Silva’s strikes looked serious enough.

The post-match interview seemed odd too. Was he sick of holding the title? Was he sick of getting the run around on the super fights from White? Is he just going to go to 205 and try to win a couple of prelims to make the Jones fight happen? Either way I like Weidman a lot so I was happy but we didn’t see the best of Anderson Silva on Saturday and that sort of annoyed me. Unless Silva really wants a rematch I don’t understand force feeding one to the public because Silva will just pull the same shit again. He’s a strange guy.

Didn’t he just land a movie role too? Eh. Whatever. I’m nearing my end run with the UFC anyway. Thankfully I grabbed about 50 old card DVDs when they were $3 at Big Lots so I can watch those whenever I need to remember what it was like when it was fun.

As for tonight. Who knows? Hopefully we’ll see more Bryan, more Punk and good matches. Enjoy the show, come out swinging and keep it clean!
