UFC 138: Way Better Than I Thought It Would Be

Last night was the first chance I got to watch a UFC event live. It was in Birmingham and on ESPN, so I was in the right time zone. It didn't disappoint. All the fights were pretty good, and more importantly none on the main card went the distance.

I think the best fight was the Perosh vs Diabate fight. It had a bit of everything but Perosh eventually won by taking the fight to the ground and using his brilliant jiu jitsu skills. I think he's as good as anyone in that area, and is really underrated.

The main event was also good, and Mark Munoz showed he is worthy of a title shot. Leben showed determination, but ultimately it was not enough. Even he couldn't stand up to the ferocious punching power of the Filipino.
