Did some heavy shrugs, sledgehammer swings, and tricep pushdowns for assistance work.
Last week of the program starts tomorrow. Looking forward to doing things a bit different.
Didn’t get to watch the UFC event last night, and I forgot
to DVR it, so I can only go off results that I have seen and what I have read
about how the fights went down. First and foremost, I still think it’s
ridiculous that Dana felt the need to set up the next LHW title shot based on
last night. I realize those 4 guys probably are the top of the heap (after
Hendo and Rashad), but I would like to see Glover Teixeira get consideration
too. The guy’s a beast, and I think he’s something like 34, so he’s not getting
any younger. I understand him needing to get a win or 2, but he’s fighting
Rampage sometime soon, and UFC could build him off that.
Another thing that struck me recently is, holy fuck, what
happened to that division?! Some will say it just looks bad because Jones has
cleaned it out. While this is true to an extent, the fact is that division has
fallen hard. Partly due to guys aging, partly due to guys just not being as
good as previously thought. But man, around 06-08ish (something like that), the
division was the glory division of MMA, no 2 ways about it. Wanderlei, Chuck,
Rampage, Shogun, Hendo, Lil Nog, and Forrest and Rashad were just starting to
work their way into the top 10. Jardine was a tough out for anyone. Randy was
still sorta hanging around, though he may have been a heavyweight around then,
I don’t really remember. Vitor was still doing his thing, though not as
frequently (but as a Vitor lover, I will always throw his name in there).
Ricardo Arona! Not sure what the hell ever happened with that guy, but he was a
top-notch guy too. Nowadays, there are so few “top guys” that Jones is probably
going to be saddled with rematches for the near future, with the exception of
Gustaffson and Davis, whenever they feel those guys are ready.
The rest of the card sounded like it was pretty
entertaining, which was sorely needed considering how badly the last couple PPV’s
were. Not sure how many title implications there were in any of the other
matches, but sometimes you just need entertaining fights, regardless of their
impact on the title picture.
