UFC 101 Results

Posted on by

UFC 101 was had two fights I was interested in and surprisingly I went with the underdog in each fight.   While I know that the race doesn’t always go to the strongest or the fastest, that IS the way to bet.  Fortunately for me, I had no bets on either of the fights.

Anderson Silva was a huge favorite to keep his winning streak alive and retain his title.  I thought that Forrest Griffin. would give him a tough time and maybe, just maybe find a way to win.  Silva was just too skilled and won by KO in the first.

BJ Penn was favored to beat Kenny Florian, despite Florian’s six fight and three year undefeated streak. Penn is called the Prodigy, and for good reason.  He was able to win by forcing Florian to tap by way of rear naked choke in the fourth. 

Yeah, I knew the odds were against me big time and like most long shots they didn’t pay off.  Luckily, I didn’t have to either.
