UFC 131 Recap

A very abbreviated recap of saturday's UFC 131 as I was travelling back from Vancouver pretty much most of yesterday.  Overall we got a pretty card in my opinion and personally a much better showing with my predictions as I finished 10 for 12 overall. We got a pretty good showing of heart by the pictured Shane Carwin in the main event as he was almost finished by Dos Santos in the 1st Round and sort of starting looking like Mark Coleman if you ask me.  Along with Dos Santos, Kenny Florian may have also secured his own title shot as he defeated Diego Nunes.  Mark Munoz enters the middleweight rankings with his win over Demian Maia and finally Sam Stout gets yet another fight bonus with his Knockout of The Night over Yves Edwards which I'll be surely adding to my list of knockouts of the year in my awards page.  I'll just feature the results, my original prediction, my rating of the fight, and finally future match ups to make for the main card winners.


Junior Dos Santos defeated Shane Carwin by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26)
My Prediction Dos Santos by TKO 2nd Round
$$$1/2


Future match ups to make:
Dos Santos- Junior will now take on Cain Velasquez for the UFC Heavyweight title


Kenny Florian defeated Diego Nunes by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
My Prediction Florian by Submission 2nd Round

Future match ups to make:
Florian- A title shot against Jose Aldo makes sense for Florian


Mark Munoz defeated Demian Maia by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
My Prediction Maia by Submission 2nd Round
$$$


Future match ups to make:
Munoz- A match up with fellow newly ranked middleweight Brian Stann would be great.


Dave Herman defeated John Olav Einemo by TKO 3:19 2nd Round
My Prediction Herman TKO 2nd Round
$$$1/2


Future match ups to make:
Herman- Travis Browne would be a great match up with two guys coming off wins.


Donald Cerrone defeated Vagner Rocha by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26)
My Prediction Cerrone
