UFC Fight Night in Omaha, NE quick review.

A bit overdue but my quick thoughts on the event.

First, it was a great turnout and the audience seemed very well versed on MMA. The only problem I had was the ooohs and ahhhs every time a fighter would be taken down. Even when it was a light, accidental tripping take down the crowd went wild. For some reason it means something to the judges I guess but I still don't get excited every time the fight hits the mat.

Houston Alexander needs to change camps if he want to be a legit contender in the UFC. His lack of a ground game and the fact that he is one dimensional is becoming more obvious with each fight. Someone needs to take away his boxing gloves and make him hit the mat for three months straight.

Lots of exciting fights were on display. My favorite being the Sakara v. Vedepo fight. The slap of foot on neck could be heard above the roar of the crowd and Vedepo's stumbling before he hit the mat was epic.

Until next time.
