    It's a shame injuries (Shields, Cyborg) and issues with the CSAC (Diaz) have ruined the fight card. However, I am looking forward to the main event. :good

    I will be watching. I have always wanted to see how Cung Le would do against top fighters.

    I'll be watching; it's a very interesting fight, considering they apparently sparred years ago, and Shamrock admits to getting his "ass kicked".

    Since then, Shamrock has established himself as one of the most accomplished and most well-rounded MM-artists, knocking out Tito Ortiz among others, while Cung Le has fought no-names in san-shoe rules fights for K-1 (and some MMA fights for Elite XC).

    When it's all said and done, I believe Shamrock is the better striker and submission artists. One problem- where's his conditioning at?

    Shamrock, by knockout, two rounds.

    That's what has me excited. He's either going to live up the hype, or get destroyed. The rest of the card's not great, but MMA is MMA. :happy

    Alright, it's go time! And Shamrock is saying he is going to stand with Cung and not try to grapple. He should easily be able to handle Cung if he takes him down, but I think he's going to be in for a rude awakening on his feet.

    Villasenor's knockout of Jensen was NICE.

    I'll try to do some updates in case anyone wants them. If not, oh well.

    First fight: Ryan Jensen vs. Joey Villasenor

    Villasenor gets the early takedown and Jensen sucks him into a defensive guard. For about 2.5 minutes, Villasenor doesn't do much of anything in the guard, and Jensen finally gets to his feet (much to the delight of the fans).

    Villasenor pops Jensen with a clean punch that hurts him, but he recovers and comes back with a vengeance. Jensen starts tagging Villasenor with jabs and straight right hands, then he lands two vicious, vicious leg kicks. Villasenor seems hurt by the kicks, and Jensen opens up again with the hands. Then out of almost no where, Villasenor drills him with a ridiculously hard right hand.

    Jensen falls about 5 feet, right onto the side of his head. He's completely out.

    Yeah, that looked like it hurt. He literally went flying when that punch hit him.

    :huh Villasenor dropped down to one knee and punched him in the head while he was unconscious, about a second after he hit the ground.

    Okay, somehow I completely missed that. Last thing I saw was Jensen laying there against the cage, out cold.

    Lightning fast sub by Wayne Cole. That tap was immediate, and what - twenty seconds into the fight? Not even?

    On the replay this was kind of ridiculous, the difference in reflexes and form...looks like a pro and an amateur.
