Good afternoon fight fans,
I wasn't sure what the general feeling was about tonight's UFC 101 event..Since we had a Shed Fight night a few weeks ago, I figured that this even, while a spectacular card, came a bit too soon to open up the shed doors again.
I'm always up for a last minute highway run, so let me know...If not, your friendly correspondent will be streaming the event through ufc.com then running the feed through the TV...just an insider secret...if you buy the web stream via ufc.com (not the yahoo feed), you also get to watch the un-aired under card fights for free plus you get a bonus, ring card girl cam throughout the event.....although you have to wait until the next morning to watch the un-aired fights. As for the ring card girls, tonight's event marks the debut of the maxim's UFC ring card girl contest winner Natasha (picture above) ....
As for the fights....BJ Penn vs Fenflo? and Anderson "the spider" Silva vs. Forest Griffin at 205lbs? Holy smokes...what a night...
BJ Penn Vs KenFlo: tough one here...two of my favorite fighters to watch...BJ has the edge in power and boxing and is the BJJ master but Kenflo is no BJJ slouch ...Kenflo has crazy Mui Tai Kicks and is a cardio freak...
No one taps, I can tell you that.. and normally my prediction would be that BJ would gas in the third round and Kenflo would win a decision....BUT...the word is that BJ is finally IN-SHAPE...he looked like it at today's weigh in....I guess he spent 2 months training with Mark Marenovich's father this time and an in-shape BJ Penn is too much for anyone in the world at 155, even KenFlo...
Kenflo takes down BJ
BJ sweeps to half guard..
BJgets his leg out and from side control take the mount pretty easily...
from there he'll do a lot of damage and the fight will be stopped... this is BJ's signature, unstoppable move, whenever he is the stronger fighter and is in-shape..
Check out BJ jumping out of a three foot deep pool...this video has everyone thinking that BJ is really in shape this time:

Forest vs the spider?
If forest is able to frustrate Silva with take downs and clinches, he may be able to survive a few rounds...but more likely...with Forests aggressive style and glass-Joe chin...this one could get ugly...the spider has something to prove after a few back-to-back lackluster performances...so he will be in full smash mode...I doubt this goes past a few minutes into the first round....forest will be eating punches and then will certainly go "night-night" via knees whilst in the inescapable Silva Mui Tai clinch...
Your friendly Shed Fight Night correspondent..
