UFC 109 Fight Review

by James on February 7, 2010 18 views to the Head

ufc-109-fight-review

Ok fight fans UFC 109 is now in the books and it turned out to be a incredible night of fights again.

UFC 109 could have been the last time two of the fighters will ever step foot into the cage. Frank Trigg wanted to end his career with the UFC and I believe he did just that last night. Losing to Matt Serra by a first round TKO was the last time you will see Trigg in the octagon, but is his career over? Good question, only Trigg can answer that but after losing two fights in a row to first round KO’s, it would seem the right thing to do.

Chael Sonnen shocked the world with a huge win over Nate Marquardt. He didn’t just get beat, he was dominated for all three rounds. Marquardt had no answer for Sonnen’s power and aggression and spend almost 15 minutes on his back eating Sonnens’s elbows and right hands. Huge win for Sonnen and next will be a shot at Silva or Belfort and the title.

Randy Couture proved one again his is only getting better with age. He out boxed Coleman the entire first round and made short work of him in the second. I’m sure we have seen the last of Mark Coleman in the octagon. He had a great career and did a lot for the sport of MMA. Thanks for all the great fights and all the great thing you have done for the sport. Whats next for Randy Couture I don’t know but I will be there to watch it.

Let’s get to the fights!
