Sunday afternoon I went to see Ultimate Fighting Competition episode 65 at Mike's place.

Mike and Maya had recorded the pay-per-view show which was broadcast the Saturday night before and they organized a nice BBQ to watch the show with a group of 10 people.

I had never seen this type of show before -- I saw some WWF wrestling games but those are scripted (fake) games and really not that exciting. I really enjoyed the UFC games which were relatively short (between 3 and 15 minutes per game) but full of action.

The most interesting game was between Sylvia and Monson. Sylvia is a very tall guy (6"8) and Monson is only 5"8 although they're the same weight. So it was the big, long-armed boxer against the short fujitsu wrestler. Sylvia was defending his title and after 4 round Monson could not capture the title, but it was an entertaining game.

I was supporting Hughes when he fought against St. Pierre, but St. Pierre dealt some severe kicks and basically knocked out Hughes with 1 feet kick to the head followed by a kick. George St. Pierre, the Canadian, is now the UFC Welterweight Champion. Later a Dutch guy played also, and I was happy to see him win. The food was good too - I tried pickled onions from Winston Salem, NC, and devilled eggs.

It was a very entertaining evening.
