UFC 127 (Bisping defeats Rivera - WOOHOO!) at Hooters of Sacramento near Arden Fair Mall (Sacramento, CA)
Last Saturday, Bob and I watched UFC 127 at Hooters of Sacramento near the Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento, CA. The main event was BJ Penn vs. Jon Fitch (which resulted in a silly "majority draw" decision - huh? I thought Fitch won) but the one I was particularly interested in was the co-main event, Michael "The Count" Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera...since Bisping is one of my favorite UFC fighters! :)

Video Highlights from UFC 106
What??? UFC didn't include the video clip of Forrest Griffin's famous flying mouthpiece kick to Tito Ortiz?

UFC 106 had some pretty exciting fights, despite the canceled Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin main event that was replaced by Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin. Not to take anything away from that fight (which IMO should have been a unanimous ***not split*** decision!) and I was ecstatic that Griffin WON...but I really enjoyed watching Koscheck defeat Johnson, despite their dramatic battles of the eye-pokes!
Another noteworthy mention is the debut of the Nogueira twin brother "Little Nog" … (2 comments)
