UFC 101: Penn Vs. Florian
$19.97
I told you guys I would be back for UFC 101, well here I am! once again there are spoilers in this review so I don't wanna hear any crybabies this time around! I am only reviewing four of the fights that happened on pay-perveiw, this in no way has anything to do with the upcoming dvd release of the event! Oh and these fights may no be in order either!
So lets start with Sadollah V Hendricks, I was happy to see Amir in the ring finally after such a long hiatus, but it was short lived as Hendricks caught him in the 1st round slippin. Amir went down but seemed to be coherent, but the ref didn't think he was okay and stopped the fight at 29 seconds in the first round, just as Sadollah was getting up. Personally I thought he was okay and the ref should have waited a little longer, but hey it happens!
Next we have Grove V Almeida, I've been watching Kendall since TUF 3 and am always excited to see him fight! Ricardo on the other hand is boring to me, unfortunately good fortune wasn't with Kendall as Ricardo's take downs were to much for Grove as Almeida grinded out a 3 round unamious decision to win the bout and not in exciting fashion what so ever, but hey like my boss say "It is what it is!".
Now for the co main event which was phenomenal, Griffin V Silva. The hype for this fight was outta control as alot of people gave Forrest a good chance due to the fact that he always does good as the underdog, which he most certainly was in this match up. What happened next was the most embarassing fight I have every seen as Silva dodge every swing Forrest threw, countered with precision shots and totally 150% dominated poor poor Forrest. At one point Silva even extended a helping hand to Griffin to help him stand back up after he knocked him down. To top it all Silva knocked Forrest out with a counter punch while back pedaling in the first round. After Griffin got up he ran out of the ring and I would guess out of the whole damn arena, poor Forrest.
And last but not least Penn V Florian 2. I was amped up for this fight because I like both fighters and I really thought Kenny had built up enough skill to finally dethrone the Lightweight Champ. Unfortunately his skill set was not up to par with Penn's as Bj wore Florian down round after round to finally take him by rear naked choke in the 4th.
Overall this was a great night of fights and I definetly with confidence give this a star more than I gave UFC 100, if you missed this event make sure to pick up the dvd release as soon as it comes out, trust me you won't be dissapointed especially if you thought the previous event didnt live up to the hype!
This wraps up my review of UFC 101 and I will see you next time around @ UFC 102.....oh wait, thats tonite, dueces!

UFC MMA Training Gloves - SIZE: Large/X-Large, COLOR: Black
$29.99
These gloves are great, depending upon what you plan to use them for.
First, these are made in a soft and comfortable leather. This is a good leather that does not stink with use. The leather is flexible and moves well with the hand. There is an opening under the palm area and slight sewn cuts under each finger joint (to keep flexible and remove sweat).

One of the best features of this glove is that it lacks a curl bar in the palm area - this means you can completely close your fists for striking! Most bag gloves will train you to strike with an un-tightened and open fist (not this one).

There is thick and effective padding on the knuckles, top of hand and even some cushion around the wrist (thanks to a Velcro double wrap).
All in all, for some bag-work and variety of striking these gloves will enable proper form and protect hands from damage. These are comfortable and small enough that they in no way feel bulky or foreign. For light grappling and ground-work these should wear well enough.

I imagine that for very heavy MMA work and ground-fighting, the leather would simply not hold up and you should opt for the vinyl versions.
