Weekend Whoop-A$$, Time Again for Another UFC Pay-per-view
The time has come again for another jaunt into the world of MMA - UFC 69 “Shootout” is scheduled for Saturday April 7th. The card is full of potentially decent match-ups, but there are three bouts that could end up being wicked in turns of brutality.
The main event pits middleweight champion George “Rush” St Pierre against the Ultimate Fighter reality show winner Matt “the Terror” Serra. Any fight that St Pierre is involved in has the potential to be worth the price of admission alone. “Rush” is an icredible striker with both the hands and feet. Serra is going to be facing a whole different breed of fighter than he’s been accustomed to, I hope he’s done his homework and trained his a$$ off or he’ll be hitting the showers or the emergency room early.
Next on the list of potentially great fights would be another battle of 170 pounders: Diego “Nightmare” Sanches puts his undefeated record on the line against world class wrestler Josh Koscheck. Sanchez has been absolutely mowing down all the top middleweight fighters, but he could be in for a rude awakening against Koscheck. Josh has a ten and one record, and there aren’t many wrestlers in the game as good as “Kos”. The winner of this battle will be in line for a shot at the middleweight title.
Last but certainly not least on the “fights to watch” list is a little jump up in weight to the 185 lb class. Japanese ground and pound specialist Yushin Okami goes toe to toe with Mike “Quick” Swick. Okami, at twenty five years of age, already has an incredible 20-3 record in MMA, but Swick has the power to end a fight with one punch. Swick is known as “Quick” for a reason, he has some of the fastest victories in UFC history including a 22 second knockout of Gideon Ray.
Other fighters one the card that are always capable of putting on a show include: Roger “El Matador” Huerta, Heath “Texas Crazy Horse” Herring, and Marcus “The Irish Hand Grenade” Davis. You can see the rest of the line up here.
So lay down the loot on Saturday to watch UFC 69 on PPV, but go ahead and check out some free a$$ whooping here first courtesy of the headliner of UFC 69 George “Rush” St Pierre:
