UFC 71 - The Iceman Melts

UFC 71 is officially in the books and it was arguably the best UFC event of 2007. I, like you have been reading other MMA sites and most were saying that UFC 71 had a boring fight card. What the heck do they know anyway?

It only goes to show that MMA is in fact, unpredictable and why this sport is the most fun to watch aside from women's beach volleyball.

Chuck Liddell predicted exactly how the fight against Rampage would go down except one small detail... Rampage would be the winner by KO in the first round.

Good to see that Hendo (Dan Henderson) will fight in the UFC sometime soon to add another element of surprise that MMA fans around the globe have quickly become accustomed to this year.

Houston Alexander? -> WOW!!!

The next UFC title fight is UFC 73: JULY 7, 2007 in Sacremento, California that will headline the lightweight Champion (155Lbs) Sean "The Muscle Shark" Sherk Vs. Hermes Franca. Don't be too surprised if Franca walks away with gold around his waist.

2007 is shaping up to be the upset year and a complete house cleaning for the current title holders, not only in the UFC but also in Pride FC.

Thankfully, we still have Fedor Emelianenko who remains as the one constant in this highly volatile landscape that is professional Mixed Martial Arts.
