Observations From My Couch: UFC 96

  • All weekend long I was trying to think of something disparaging to say about Gray Maynard, as he defeated a fighter I like a lot in Jim Miller. I couldn't, though. Maynard just beat a very tough guy.
  • Screw that. Gray Maynard sucks and is about as exciting as watching a constipated frog take a dump.
  • Kendall Grove is one leg kick away from ending up like Corey Hill. Dude, eat a sandwich.
  • Not only did Matt Hamill impress with that spectacular high-kick knockout, but he seemed pretty adept at speaking Deep Mountain Dwarvish (a la Lord of the Rings) in his post-fight interview. I think he invited fans to his afterparty in the Mines of Moria.
  • Dear Jason Brilz, if I wanted to watch one man dry hump another... ah, never mind.
  • Tamdan McCrory's motto is apparently "fight like a stud, curse like a sailor". I like that.
  • I guess Mike Patt forgot that there is also grappling in mixed martial arts?
  • I don't know why Yves Lavigne hates Pete Sell and wants him dead, but I will get to the bottom of this mystery soon.
  • Shane Carwin: the man, the myth, the freight train.
  • Quinton Jackson's fight against Keith Jardine was mildly entertaining, but his post-fight exchange with Rashad Evans very nearly broke the black-o-meter on my TV. Hmmm... No, let me redo that one. Quinton Jackson's fight against Keith Jardine was mildly entertaining, but his post-fight exchange with Rashad Evans made me think I was watching "The Iron Ring" on BET. Hmmm... Forget it, I got nothing.
