Observations from My Couch: UFC on Versus 1 "Smashing Asteroids"

• Who looks worse: James Irvin at 185 pounds or Stephen Quadros?  Of course, that’s like comparing a skeleton with a zombie.  Sure, both are undead, but you don’t really want to look at either for too long if you have to go to bed that night.
• I remember when Paul Buentello first fought in the UFC.  He had just knocked out Justin Eilers in highlight-reel fashion, and at the post-fight presser he was teary-eyed and thankful for being able to live his dream.  Just thought I’d throw that out there.
• That high-kick Gabriel Gonzago used to knockout Mirko CroCop was totally awesome, wasn’t it?
• When Brandon Vera debuted in the Octagon and was kicking ass he challenged Chuck Liddell.  Sadly, he could probably beat Liddell now.
• That was an impressive KO for John Howard, made all the more impressive because he had to overcome that awful haircut.
• Jon Jones is to regular fighters what Superman is to 1940s costumed crime fighters.  In other words, while Stephan Bonnar and Thales Leites are busting up a Nazi spy ring or thwarting bank robbers, Jones is in outer space, smashing through an asteroid that was about to collide with Earth.
