The Good UFC 134 RIO: The business of UFC for the first time in the last few years has been down in both attendance and pay perview numbers as events have not had as many big main event bouts due to a rash of injuries. That however has not prevented the UFC from putting on a number of highly entertaining events the last few times out which includes this weekends return to Brazil with UFC 134 Rio. The build up to the event saw the Brazilian media and fans embrace the UFC which lead you to believe the night of the show might bring something special. The preliminaries only had one standout performance which came from Erick Silva who made an impressive UFC debut with a first round stoppage over fellow Octagon first timer Luis Ramos. The most notable thing from the event early on was that the fans were in full attendance and rambunctios from start to finish.   The Spike televised portion of the card featured a wild fight between Rousimar Palhares and Dan Miller. Palhares has been known for being unpredictable performances and this time was no different as after hurting Miller in the opening round “Toquinho”, for reasons known only to himself, thought the fight was over after landing a flurry of punches on a grounded Miller. Palhares ran and jumped atop the cage only to have referee Herb Dean inform him the fight was not over. Next thing you know the action is restarted and Miller hurts the Brazilian as the round came to a close. The second round saw “Toquinho” dominate with takedowns and brutal ground and pound, along with getting away with illegaly grabbing the cage on multiple occasions. Miller displayed the toughness that you would expect from himself and his brother by surviving [...]

The Good Pat Curran: Saturday brought the finals of Bellators Featherweight Tournament in which Pat Curran showed why he can no longer be overlooked as he emerged victorious in spectacular fashion. Curran was in familiar territory as he had previously won Bellators lightweight tournament but fell behind early to Marlon Sandro. Much like in his losing performance against Eddie Alvarez, Curran was reluctant with his offense while the wild swinging Sandro was anything but. After being cut around his left eye from a Sandro punch in the second round Curran fought cautiously while the Brazilian kept his foot on the gas. Then it happened. Seemingly out of nowhere, Curran threw and landed a devastating right high kick that landed flush on Sandro sending him crashing to the mat. Curran landed a few more meaningless punches before the referee could dive in between the fighters and stop the fight. And with that Pat won his second Bellator tournament, his second $100,000 check, and gave fans another “Bellator moment.”   Hank Lundy vs David Diaz: In the season finale of ESPN2s Friday Night Fights Hank Lundy and David Diaz put on a fight symbolic of the season FNF had in 2011. Diaz, the former title holder at lightweight appeared to be on the downside of his career heading into the fight while Lundy has rebounded from his sole defeat to John Molina. Lundy certainly looked the part of the fresher fighter as he outboxed the much slower veteran. By the fourth round perhaps Lundy, much as in his loss to Molina let his confidence get the better of him and allowed Diaz to get close and land a solid enough shot that sent “Hammerin” Hank stumbling towards the floor. Lundy got right up only to be met by an all out assault from Diaz who trapped his dazed [...]
