Tonight the final Ultimate Fighter was on. It consisted of 3 matches. Deigo Sanchez vs. Kenny Florian, Forrest Griffin vs. Stephen Boner, and Ken Shamrock vs. Rich Franklin. I am writing this while it is on. Although the post won't be posted till later. The first match was disappointing. I knew it was going to turn out the way it did. Diego Sanchez won by referee stoppage in the first round. Kenny Florian came out circling and didn't throw a punch. Diego went in, took kenny down and it was history from there. Diego is a bad mother fucker on the ground. He got kenny florian in a full mount and beat the shit out of him. Kenny had a huge gash on his nose. Diego won the ultimate fighter 6 figure contract with the UFC.
The second fight just went the distance. It was the best fight i've ever seen in my fucking life. Toe to Toe for 15 mins. Blow after blow it was fucking amazing. Heres the verdict. Forrest Griffin won by unanimous decision. I don't even know how you could call the fight. It was amazing. just fucking Amazing. Wow. Ken Shamrock vs Rich Franklin is up next. I must elaborate on the Forest and Stephen fight more. Holy shit, They just offered Stephen Boner a contract to. Dana White the president decided there are no losers and that he got a contract too. Thats fucking awesome. He deserved it too. They both deserved it. Its going to to take me a few moments to gather myself as i am in a complete and utter state of awe, astonishment, amazement and i'm blown out of my fucking mind too. I'll come back to this.
All of this shit and Frank Shamrock and Rich Franklin are coming up. Damn it all I can't handle the shit. I don't think this one is going the Distance. In the first bout I knew Diego was going to win. He's just that good. Chris Leben should have actually been in the finals and that would have been a good fight. Chris Leben lost to Kenny Florian in the semifinal. Chris Leben was dominating the fight. Kenny was hanging in there and he's a tough guy but Chris was landing better shots. They got in the clinche and Kenny hit Chris with a elbow to the eye. It opened up a huge cut and they stopped the fight. That is what led up to tonights finals. I think the fight would have been alot better had Chris Leben fought. Diego is just a really good all around fighter and Kenny Florian got lucky.
Th3 first 2 minutes have been crazy, going from submission to submission. In the next 20 seconds Ken Shamrock went for a high leg kick and slipped. Rich Franklin is a good stryker. He hits hard as fuck and he just got on top of Ken after he slipped. Rich Franklin knocked Ken shamrock out with 2:14 left in the first period. That was disappointing. I thought Ken would do better but taking nothing away from Rich Franklin he's a good fighter. I've watched him beat up a few other fighters in some of the DVD's they have available. The winners are:
Kenny Florian vs Diego Sanchez - Winner: Diego - Middleweight - Ultimate fighter champion
Forrest Griffin vs Stephen Boner - Winner: Forest - Light Heavyweight - Ultimate Fighter Champion. Stephen Boner also got a contract.
Ken Shamrock vs Rich Franklin - Winner: Rich - Light Heavyweight. It seemd in the interview afterword that Ken was passing the torch so to speak.
So now thats over, I'm glad to see they have the UFC on TV now. It's good for the sport. Watching these fights keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time. You never know whats going to happen but it's always good. There's a new PPV on this Saturday. Chuck Liddell vs Randy Couture. I think i'm going to have to order it. It will definately be worth it. I like both of those guys but I don't know if its possible to beat Randy. He's just that damn good. It should be a good fight though. On the undercard, The Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes is defending his title against Frank Trigg. That should be decent too. Matt Hughes has beaten Frank Trigg before. As for the rest of the under card I'm not sure what else will be on there. Either way, they'll be interesting too.
I recently bought my own domain name. 4twozero.com It was 4 bucks for a year through myvaluehost.com. I got the hosting for the site through Riley Hosting. His service is pretty damn nice. I get to pay monthy. Which wouldn't happen with other hosts. I talk directly to the guy. There is no middle man so I don't have to worry about that stupid shit. Check out his site and see the hosting plans. I like paying monthly for it because i'm not binded to the service if I need to change or get a different plan. The other hosting companys wanted you to pay annually or semi annually. I just didn't like that. And its a bonus i can talk directly to the guy. So check his hosting plans out. riley-hosting.com. It could take a little while for everything to go up but it will mainly be this site just I'll have a domain now. and I get to get a cool email address. Woo Hoo!
I fucking need a pair of headphones. I'm sitting here trying to jam to some Audioslave - Be Yourself and all the padding has worn off my left ear phone. It hurts my head. I can't be blaring music at 10:30 pm through the speakers. So if you want to donate to the United Negro Headphone Fund, paypal me at tbmatthews@comcast.net.
I really haven't had much time to do anything. It's back to the regular daily fuckin' grind of work and school. Works sucks, and so does school. I failed a test pretty miserably on Monday this past week. I really have to get my shit together and start studying. The teacher said that we could take it again this monday and average the scores out. I have no choice but to do that. I'm going to get the shit this time. It's for a Cisco routers class. The teacher is some arabian fucker who doesn't speak english very well. Not that I have anything against arabian people but just this guy in particular is hard to understand. He's pretty much an asshole witha napoleonic complex. He gives us these assignments where we have to go out and look for stuff or find out how to do it but then he doesn't give us any kind of information as to what he wants out of it. So the entire fucking class ends up turning in what they think he wants and he grades us harsh on it. He'll tell us thats not what he's looking for and give us a 60 on it. That's fucked up. I can't have my grade going that low because the teacher doesn't explain what he wants. It's cool that we have to figure out the shit for ourselves, I'm not bitching about that. It's the fact that he doesn't explain shit but when we give him something he doesn't think is right he docks us assloads of points in the process. that fucker. That just means I have to know my shit, explain myself, and just do the work. Ohh well. Maybe I'll learn something.
I got called a ripper the other day. And I was told that i'm not creative and that I'm pretty much a shitty artist. That doesn't make you feel all warm and gooey on the inside. It really makes you want to reach back like a pimp and slap the hoe. I never even said shit to the bitch and she comes out and makes blatant attacks at me because someone was making fun of canada. (ohh fucking imagine that) I like canadians, TommyV2 is from canada and I love that bastard! Anyway, she had a major dildo up her ass. So it really irritated the living shit out of that she had the audacity to call me a ripper. She brought up the Element Flier concept I used. I never claimed that the concept was mine. I just did my own version because I liked it and wanted to have my own version. I never said it was copywrite me or anything. Dumb bitch it was for personal use. I'm not making any money off it. So I was then inspired to make something. Tony from CrapVille sent me over some grungy brushes and my friend David from work showed me some filtering effects that he came up with. Here is what I came up with:
