Daily Musings
- Went to a bar on 41st and Knight to watch UFC 60. Unfortunately, it was full (although there was a lot of standing room) and according to waitress, this was a new rule from the bouncers. So I ended up watching the end of one match and the main event from the lobby (Matt Hughes vs Royce Gracie). Hughes completely dominated Gracie right from the start of the fight. I didn’t think Gracie didn’t have a chance in hell of winning the fight standing up, so it was actually a good thing when the fight went to the ground 1-2 minutes into the first round.
So we’ll now see those vaulted Gacie Brazilian ju-jitsu skills, right? Wrong. Hughes quickly passed from a half guard to a side mount while employing some ground ‘n’ pound. Hughes actually appeared to have locked in an arm bar on Gracie (badly bending the arm in the process), but Royce being the badass that he is, didn’t submit. Eventually, Hughes got onto Gracie’s back and went into the ground ‘n’ pound game. Gracie eventually stopped resisting and the fight was stopped. Yay. For some reason, I’ve never liked Gracie (probably because I was doing taekwondo at the time when I saw the first couple UFC’s. I suppose it was no surprise I took a liking to Maurice Smith aka the first successful striker in mma).
- I have to admit that I’m getting really annoyed by my ultimate team even though I’ve only attended 1 game and 2 practices thus far. Attending practice feels like a chore. It’s kind of a pain to commute to Monday games. And I really resent the barrage of emails about pointless shit from my team (but I can’t exactly say “no more emails damnit”). Despite my $64 registration fee, I feel tempted to quit, but I have this strange obligation and commitment sensibility that prevents me otherwise.
- Maria Ozawa. Screechingly hot. Half Canadian eh?
