UFC Fight Review ~ Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz

Happy New Year everyone!
I started the year out right; I cleaned my room. I started from the moment I woke up this morning, and I've just finished. I didn't even stop for lunch, but in a little while it'll be time for dinner. We're having turkey, cornbread dressing, gravy, sweet-potato casserole, and of course, blackeyed peas.

~ UFC Fight Review ~

Saturday night I watched the Ultimate Fighting Championship match of Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz. Normally, I'm not that into watching guys pound the snot out of each other, but I have to admit that I was looking forward to this particular match. I wasn't disappointed; the fight blew me away. I found myself holding my breath and clenching my fists, waiting to see who would be victorious. I had this feeling in my gut that Liddell would win, and he did, with a third round TKO of Ortiz. I was rooting for him all the way. With this win, Liddell improved to 20-3; Ortiz fell to 16-5. The MGM Grand Garden Arena was packed; it completely sold out all 14,607 spots. Lucky Pay-per-view covered it too. The only other fight I watched was Forrest Griffin vs. Keith Jardine. I was so disappointed when Griffin lost. It was painful to watch. When he broke down after the match, I had this overwhelming desire to give him a hug. It was such a short fight, I really felt bad for the guy. : (
