Fans of UFC will be happy to know that MMA blogs is where they can read candid and straightforward opinions about their favourite fighters’ skills and UFC matches.
The upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship Event (UFC 110), the first of its kind to be staged at the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia on Feb. 20, 2010 pits two world champions against newbies: former UFC champ Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira versus young lion Cain Velasquez for the main event, the world heavyweight title and Britain’s pride Michael “The Count” Bisping against wannabe middleweight entrant Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva.
Minotauro Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez
Depending on who’s talking or which MMA blogs you find credible, the overconfident Velasquez doesn’t stand a chance against the seemingly unbreakable Minotauro. Speed and deep lung power are attributes better seen in youthful fighters like Velasquez. But Minotauro is known for his brutality and his solid right hand has stopped opponents countless times.
Velasquez is a strong favourite for the crown in Las Vegas. Considered to be one of the 10 best heavyweights in the MMA, he has remained undefeated and he displays significant improvement in his skills during every fight. But others are not about to put the aging ex-champ Minotauro out to pasture.
Mixed Martial Arts is not purely about physical power, as his record shows. Minotauro is a smart fighter who can bring Velasquez to submission by forcing the 27-year old Mexican-American to the ground.
The Count vs. The Axe Murderer
UFC 110 co-main event is the fight between Michael “The Count” Bisping, MMA fighter from England and Wanderlei Silva who earned the moniker “The Axe Murderer” from his exceedingly aggressive fighting style.
Silva dropped to middleweight (185 lbs.) from light heavyweight. Prior to his loss to Dan Henderson, he was Pride middleweight chamion reigning from 2001 to 2007. Following that, he signed up and moved over to the UFC.
Middleweight fighter Bisping would have been a contender for the title after his three consecutive victories until his loss to Dan Henderson back in UFC 100.
UFC 110 sold out the second quickest in UFC history. All tickets were taken on the first day of public sale and at 16,500 pieces, UFC sealed its name as the world’s No.1 mixed martial arts organization.
MMA blogs feature the latest buzz oftentimes containing differing views of MMA enthusiasts, and professional and amateur commentators, that you may have to carefully sift through to distinguish fact from fiction and ultimately decide each fighter’s chances of winning.
