The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has a pay per view bout every other week. For the last few years they had enough upcoming talent to put on a pretty decent event. It was hard not to shell out $110 a month to watch. But this talent and quality of events began dwindling and ended in a rather dull UFC 130.
The main event had Quintin Rampage Jackson against Matt The Hammer Hamlin. If Rampage had put as much effort into fighting as he did to his entrance and build up to the fight, Hamlin would have been hammered. Instead Rampage took us to the limit with 3 rather boring rounds leaving him drained of energy.
Fat Frank Mir also took 3 rounds of beating up a fat Big Country Nelson who looked content to just lay on the canvas while Mir laid on top of him. Wasn't hard for either of them to do.
The only interesting fight was in the heavy weight division between a very tall fighter and a not so tall fighter, both having the honor of being tied for the least known fighter award. In the second the tall guy walked into a flying punch in a rather brutal KO.
But other than that, UFC 130 was a waste. In the future, know the signs of a bad night of wrassling. Any bout with Rampage Jackson, Big Country Nelson, Frank Mir, Matt Hamlin, Tito Ortiz, or BJ Penn is fair warning. Chuck Liddel could be added to this list, but watching him getting KOed is worth the $55.
