UFC 168

The NJ United MMA family got together last night to watch a crazy night of fights at UFC 168. Chris Weidman defended the UFC middleweight title in what was a very unusual ending to the most anticipated rematch in UFC history. Anderson Silva suffered a broken shin he sustained when Weidman checked his inside leg kick. As someone who has suffered a very serious broken bone myself, it is very sad to see something like this to happen to any athlete. Best wishes to Silva and I hope he gets fixed up and recovers soon.

In the co-main event, Ronda Rousey defeated Meisha Tate in what was a very exciting fight. There were some amazing transitions on the ground. Tate was able to escape some dangerous positions, a few tight armbars, and a reverse triangle (known as the Sankaku-Jime in Judo) on the ground but ended up falling victim to the famous Ronda Rousey armbar.

Travis Browne looked good with a KO of Josh Barnett, Jim Miller submitted Camoes with a nice armbar from the guard, and Poirier made Brandao pay for not making weight with a nice TKO by punches on the ground.
