Forrest upsets Rampage....


Tonight I was watching UFC 86 with friends at Buffalo Wild Wings and boy it was worth the watch just for the main event. Even though the matches before Rampage vs. Forrest were decision after decision (one of them was a win by submission), they indeed lived up to the hype. All five rounds were great with Forrest dominating the second round and Rampage couldn't really figure anything out for the duration of the fight. Forrest definitely had a gameplan set to take the title with those leg kicks to weaken the legs while Rampage didn't seem like it wasn't his night even though he nailed some good shots to Griffin in the early going and later rounds. Now Forrest Griffin is the new Light Heavyweight Champion and it is hard to not like this guy rising up the ranks to truly become a superstar in the UFC. With the division so stacked, who knows when Rampage would get another title shot with Chuck and now Silva entering the division. All I can say is I would like to watch a rematch between Forrest and Rampage soon.

MK vs. DC Universe Blowout on GameTrailers TV



This week's GameTrailers TV spotlights on Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and I still would buy it because of curiousity and the fact its a fighting game. Ed Boon and the folks revealed two new characters which are Catwoman and Shang Tsung (I didn't see any footage of Shang morphing in this footage). Midway also promised more character reveals at E3 and Comic-Con (still on the fence of going) this month. More stages are also revealed like Metropolis as u can slam someone through a building to another street, which is pretty cool even though it will be the same amination for all characters (the same animations are likely in the freefall and close combat moments). Other trailers shown in this episode are Blitz The League II, SOCOM Confrontation, and part of the Street Fighter IV Anime Trailer I put up earlier. Despite people still hating the MK style of gameplay, I won't mind buying MK vs. DC this November if I'm tired of Gears 2 or something else around that time.
