(More customer reviews)UFC 110 maked the first time the promotion headed to Australia. It was held at Acer Arena in Sydney Australia. It was also one of the fastest sellouts in UFC history. Over 17,000 Aussies packed the arena and they were treated to a pretty stacked card of MMA talent.
The main event was a heavyweight match up between Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Cain Velasquez. Nogueira is a legend in the sport. He's fought top notch competition during his whole career in the UFC and Pride. He is deadly if he gets you to the ground, with his top level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Nog is also coming off a recent win against UFC Hall of Famer Randy Cotoure. Cain is a stand up fighter who is rising through the heavyweight rankings at lightning speed. Many consider him a great opponent for UFC Champ Brock Lesnar. Going into this fight, Cain was riding a 6-0 record only 1 time going to a decision. This is a classic grappler vs striker matchup with the winner being immediately put on the fast track for a title shot.
The co-main event was a middleweight bout between Wanderlei Silva and Michael Bisping. Wanderlei's one of the most feared fighters in MMA. When he hits you, he's trying to hurt you. He comes in this fight sporting a newly surgically reconstructed face because his nose has pretty much been smashed in from all the wars he's been in. Wand comes into every fight with the heart of a lion and always puts on a good show. His striking is great and his endurance and cardio are incredible. Michael Bisping was the winner of the 3rd season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show. He has good striking but little to know wrestling. He is a fan favorite in Britain and has been the face of British MMA. Unfortunately, many people remember Bisping from the brutal ko he received at the hands of Dan Henderson at UFC 100. Since then he had an amazing win against Dennis Kang at UFC 105. Now he's looking to continue his win streak and get back into title contention. But can he get past Wanderlei "The Axe Murdurer" Silva?
The rest of the Main Card:
Joe Stevenson vs George Sotiropoulos
Keith Jardine vs Ryan Bader
Mirko CroCop Filipovic vs Anthony Perosh
The Prelim Bouts:
Stephan Bonnar vs Krzysztof Soszynski
Chris Lytle vs Brian Foster
C.B. Dollaway vs Goran Reljic
James Te-Huna vs Igor Pokrajac
This was an excellent UFC event. The Aussie fans are well educated in the sport and they brought a high level of energy that can be felt watching on TV. The fights on this card were action packed and are sure to impress the casual fan. Well worth the purchase.
