What a way to end the month.
Condit and Pettis fighting in back to back weeks this month.
UFC's been on a roll like a motherfucker as of late.
I hear you, bro. End of August is gonna be fun.
Pettis-Henderson II should be interesting.

Who you got in those main events?
I got Condit over Kampmann and Henderson by close nod over the ever-exciting Pettis.

Good comments from him in this pre-166 Youtube clip re: what he expected with the match-up with Gil.
The 3rd round of Melendez-Sanchez on Saturday is one of my fave rounds in years. I've re-watched that round 4 - 5 times in the past few days, and it reminds me why we all love the sport of MMA. Melendez is clearly in control ... has suffered minimal damage and is still landing with accuracy. Diego's got the GOAT'S VAGINA leaking over his left eye (since round 1), but in true Diego fashion continues to push forward and is the aggressor in his own Nightmare/Dream kind of way. His accuracy boxing-wise has never been stellar, but he's nobody's bitch and continues to push forward (having never been stopped by KO, TKO, or sub ... and only by cut in his career). He's pushing the pace ... encouraging Gil to engage in more streetfight fisticuffs ... catches Melendez with that sweet uppercut with just under 2 mins left and momentarily assumes back control and a quick attempt at a sub along the fence. Loses position ... Gil takes standing back control ... Sanchez scores a switch on him to regain a quick second or two of positioning ... and later the round finally closes out with them engaging in leather-slinging for the final 10 seconds. That's why we're fight fans. That's why Gil's been champ in both the WEC and STRIKEFORCE in years past. That's why he went 25 mins with then-champ Ben Henderson back in the spring of this year. That's why Sanchez has had his ups & downs in and out of the Octagon over the course of the past decade. Winning TUF 1 at 185lbs back in 2005. Competing in the UFC for nearly 9 years now. Again ... having his ups and downs at 155 and 170 over the years (with the culmination being the title fight with BJ Penn years back wherein he got clearly outclassed). But yo ... again, that's why we're fight fans. It's tough to say if that was round of the year (or fight of the year) for that matter at this point considering there is so much MMA at this point in time (and so many great fights, fighters, rounds, etc) ... but yo ... I'll watch Gil or Diego compete anytime. Always have. Props due.
Totally agree. We were calling the fight the bonus for FIGHT OF THE NIGHT before they even entered the Octagon last night. Sanchez has been putting on fun fights for YEARS. Shit ... he won TUF 1 back in the spring of 2005 over 8.5 years ago or so now. Won that shit at 185lbs. Has fought quite a bit at 155 and 170. Gave Gilbert a war tonight (former Strikeforce champion) ... and hell ... Gilbert almost beat Ben Henderson for the title earlier this year in another credible battle - that's why we love MMA. Those cats were swinging ... we gave them standing ovations at the muthafuckin' party and were having a great time. Shit ... if I remember correctly Sanchez had 5 FOTN bonus awards going into this fight, and shit ... he scored a double-bonus with Martin Kampmann in their war a few years back at 170lbs (they got an additional $120 or 130k apiece).
