Lutter... What a letdown
|
This UFC event had some of the wind taken out of it's sails before the event even took place when supposed title contender, Travis Lutter, failed to make weight for his one and only shot at the UFC Middleweight belt. I can't comprehend how a B-level fighter like Lutter could let this happen. He claimed that he "really hard time getting motivated" to lose the weight. Wow.
Anyway, the televised fight card begins with Patrick Cote, whom I was not too excited to see in action again after going 0-4 in his "staying past your welcome" UFC career. He takes on Scott Smith in a snoozer. I would rather have seen Lyoto Machida televised, as he is a fighter that can certainly make waves in the UFC.
Next, it's the highly anticipated debut of former Pride Fighting superstar Quinton Rampage Jackson. He gets a second shot at Marvin "The Beastman" Eastman, the man who long ago handed him his first professional loss at a King of the Cage event. Jackson uses this fight to shake off some rust and get used to the bright lights of the Las Vegas-based UFC promotion. The fight is worth watching, although Rampage seems a bit tentative for the most part.
Rising star, Roger "El Matador" Huerta then squares off against John Halverson. I am not all that familiar with Halverson, but it doesn't really matter much in this fight.
Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic also makes his highly anticipated UFC debut on this night. He takes on relative MMA newcomer, Eddie Sanchez, in this bout. Sanchez is a hard puncher, but there isn't all that much else to speak of in terms of his accolades or skills. Cro Cop comes from Pride Fighting with a strong reputation as one of the top two heavyweight fighters in the world. There is much pressure on Cro Cop to make a huge statement with this fight. It turns out to be a good debut for Mirko, although he is not yet truly tested here.
Next up: the main event between Anderson "The Spider" Silva and Travis Lutter. This is not a title bout, as Lutter fails to make weight, but we will have to sit through the last fight of his UFC career anyway. Lutter actually fights a good fight, for the most part. I would say, however, that I don't see anyone legitimately challenging Silva at middleweight for quite some time. He is clearly the best this division has to offer right now.
Overall, this was a decent night of fights. I was excited to see Rampage and Cro Cop make their way to the UFC, finally. Hopefully, this will spice things up in the Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight divisions. |
