Weekend Watching

The biggest crowd in UFC history was treated to a pretty solid card, although many people weren't happy with the main event where Georges St Pierre won by decision over Jake Shields. It wasn't fight of the night, but GSP proved he's the best fighter in the Welterweight division even if he doesn't finish his fights with a submission or knockout.

What's next, many are hoping for a superfight against Anderson Silva, but if Nick Diaz is able to cross over into the UFC then I think we may see our first UFC vs Strikeforce Champion fight.

Fight of the Night was Jose Aldo's decision over the hometown hero Mark Hominick. Aldo dominated Hominck for 4 rounds, as shown in the second picture Hominick was in pretty bad shape. But the native of Hamilton battled back in the 5th round to almost pull off one of the biggest comebacks ever. Even though Hominick didn't get the win, I don't think we heard the last of him in the title picture.

Randy Couture career is over after the incredible front face kick from Lyoto Machida. I thought if Couture could've pulled a win he might have returned, but after last night's knockout, Couture is heading into the sunset. No doubt it's been quite a ride for Couture. I wonder who Machida will face next since Rashad Evans is facing Phil Davis later this summer.

I think Toronto was treated to a great card, and think we will see return of the UFC within a year or so. And I expect the main event won't feature GSP, just a hunch.

In the NHL a little surprised that San Jose leads Detroit 2-0, but if I've learned over the years never count out the Red Wings and never assume the Sharks are in control until they win the series.

Pekka Rinne has been the best player in the 2nd round, and the only reason the Nashville and Vancouver series is 1-1.

Martin St. Louis has been playing like a MVP this playoffs and Vinny LeCavalier has been playing like a former number 1 pick, imagine how good Tampa Bay would be if Steven Stamkos gets back to his early season form.

Thanks to the NFL Network I watched too much of the NFL Draft. Teams who I think who are a better team after this weekend, Detroit, Baltimore, and Houston.

I thought the 49ers did okay and I'm looking to see Colin Kapernick at QB in a couple of years, but I got the feeling Alex Smith will be the starter for the team next season, which might not be a bad thing with Jim Harbaugh as his new Head Coach.
