Matt's UFC 112 Preview

I rarely get to write about MMA for my real job. But when basketball ends, the space in the paper becomes a little more loose and I do get to write about MMA. So for Friday's edition, I penned a column on UFC 112, looking at the top three fights.

Of course, you can hear my extended thoughts on the top fights and the whole card on Friday's edition of Lights Out Radio (Presented by MMAForReal.com)!

Snippet:

This is an interesting card because the challengers appear to be greatly outmatched and have little chance of winning in the two title fights. Right now, Penn (11-4-1 in the UFC) and Silva (10-0 UFC) are two of the most dominant fighters in the world, not to mention their own weight class. Both effectively have cleaned out their divisions and actively are looking for other challenges, including moving up in weight. Between the two, they have eight title defenses (five for Silva, who won his belt in October 2006, and three for Penn, who won his in January 2008). In those eight fights, those two were in less trouble than the Connecticut women’s basketball team.

Will that mean their heads won’t be in their fights this weekend? Highly unlikely. These two, along with being two of the best in the world, are destroyers, and will continue to do just that.
