UFC: 129 ST.PIERRE VS SHIELDS



Tonight is going to be a good good night.... - Black Eyed Peas

This is a historic event of epic proportions. How fast and how far the UFC has come in terms of mainstream attention and solid business is well pretty damn impressive. Now you will always have the naysayers and haters that this is a brutal sport. Which is true at times it can be but what it does financially it dominates. Who could have ever imagined the UFC being able to sell out the Rogers Centre of over 55,000 ticket customers for one of their events. That's truly amazing. Events that have done that at the Rogers Centre (being sporting events that is.. ) have been the Blue Jays during their World Series years, and let's be honest Wrestlemania 6 (Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior) and Wrestlemania X8 (Hogan vs The Rock).

So who could have sold out the Rogers Centre? Canada's own Georges St.Pierre who is arguably the best Welterweight of all time. He faces perhaps the best Welterweight in Jake Shields he hasn't lost since the Bush administration lol. - My take is GSP should win from what I can judge but Jake Shields is well Jake Shields..

I am most excited for Randy Couture vs Lyoto Machida as this is a stylistic match up where I think a 47yr old Couture will upset based on what he does best. Some dirty boxing. It's going to be a long night if Lyoto can't get his game up and running asap.

Aldo vs Hominick well watch Aldo vs Swanson or even Aldo vs Faber. This guy is a beast and he will show why in the co-main event.

Now you have lots of blogs being more technical but for me it's just time to enjoy the show!

Thanks you are now
