Leftovers from UFC 88
- Rashad Evans’ next fight will be against Forrest Griffin. My educated guess is that this could be the main event of the New Year’s Eve-ish fight.
- I wrote about my hopes for Chuck’s future at Ladies…
- Much has been made of Dan Henderson’s takedown defense against Palhares. Of course Palhares would have a hard time taking down an Olympic level wrestler, right? Here’s what I found interesting. Hendo wrestled Greco-Roman, the discipline that does not allow leg attacks. Palhares, accordingly, spent much of the fight going after Hendo’s legs, and Hendo still stuffed him. I guess they teach a little takedown defense at Arizona State?
- During Saturday night’s broadcast, it was announced that Wednesday night’s WEC event will be postponed to November 10 because of Hurricane Ike. It was probably a little premature, but I agree that it’s better to be safe than sorry.
