Friends and family, we are now literally less than 1 week away from the UFC event you’ve all been waiting for. Believe it or not, this is the biggest fight to hit UFC up until now this year, actually forget UFC, this is the biggest fight to hit MMA in general this year. The actual schedule for UFC this first quarter of 2012 was pretty weak because of GSP’s last minute cancellations due to his knee injury. Thankfully, Dana White grew some balls and got us an event we’ve all been waiting for. A real championship fight between two UFC fighters, Jones vs Evans, who are literally both the very best of their class, Light Heavyweight. Not only are they the best but they recently entered a serious feud between them and actually hate each other personally. UFC is usually a showcase of talent, fighters let their emotion outside the ring and the UFC fights are commonly very respectful as well as mechanical, just like when these Jones or Evans practice with friends from their own respective camps. But once in a while, the universe comes together to actually provide a real feud, real hatred between two UFC fighters and that’s the only reason why all of us are actually UFC fans. There’s nothing more entertaining then when a fight is actually serious and you could feel the tension between the two fighters, that is what I call a real UFC championship fight. Jones and Evans are both going to give their best performance ever on April 21rst at UFC 145, because they aren’t fighting for the money anymore, this is personal and they both want to be able to shut the opponent’s mouth up. The whole world knows this isn’t your typical UFC fight and that is why everyone will watch UFC 145 live.

Where to Watch UFC 145 Live

A question that we get by the tons before every single UFC fight. All fans want to know what’s the best way to watch UFC 145 live. Let me address this issue before our mailbox gets full with similar requests. Honestly, there’s no best way to watch UFC 145, it varies from person to person depending on your financial situation, on your morals, as well as on your location. For example, I could tell you that the best way to watch UFC 145 is to watch it live in Atlanta, but would that help you. It probably wouldn’t, in fact that would be useless information to about 99% of our loyal visitors. The only recommendation I could do is get yourself ready a few days before UFC 145 meaning don’t wait till the last minute to find out where you’re watching UFC 145, simply because you’ll end up looking for a terrible free UFC 145 stream to let you watch UFC 145 online. And that you don’t want, even if you do get lucky and find a high quality website which let’s you watch UFC 145 online you’re just asking for trouble since it’s illegal. If you’re serious about watching UFC 145 online, do it properly, order the real UFC 145 stream from an authorized reseller such as HBO.com and watch UFC 145 online live and in high quality.

Until then boys and girls check out the extended preview below of UFC 145: Jones vs Evans straight from the UFC.

In the EPIC main event, former Strikeforce and DREAM heavyweight champion Alistair “The Reem” Overeem played the role of Grim Reaper in his UFC debut. Overeem collected the MMA soul of Brock Lesnar with a series of knees and kicks to the body. After getting stung by a nasty liver kick, Lesnar dropped to a knee in pain, a reminder of the multi-year battle he recently fought with diverticulitis. Overeem finished Lesnar with punches to the head. In his post-fight interview, Lesnar, already a millionaire from his days as a WWE superstar, announced his retirement from the UFC.

In the co-main event, Nate Diaz put a Stockton-style beatdown on Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. Diaz successfully got into Cerrone’s head before this fight with trash talking and swatting off Cerrone’s signature cowboy hat at the weigh-ins. Since the Diaz brothers are angry by nature, they are able to fight emotionally and yet remain technical. Cerrone, on the other hand, strayed away from his technical acumen with anger and attempted to trade with Diaz at the expense of defending himself. This resulted in Cerrone getting clearly outpointed by Diaz’s machine gun striking style.

Johny “Big Rig” Hendricks blasted former UFC welterweight title contender Jon Fitch in a mere 12 seconds with a lethal left hook. In 15 career fights, Fitch had only ever lost once – and it was to UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre by a 5-round decision. Although Hendricks wasn’t even the biggest underdog on this fight card, from a career-changing perspective, this is one of the biggest upsets of the year in MMA. Fitch has been a perennial title contender for most of his UFC career. Now Johny Hendricks has officially arrived!

Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson continued his ascent up the UFC ranks with a first-round TKO victory over veteran fighter Vladimir “The Janitor” Matyushenko. Gustafsson will likely get a Top 10 light heavyweight in his next fight.

The first 6 fights on the card all went the distance. Jimy “The Kid” Hettes, Ross “The Real Deal” Pearson, Danny “Last Call” Castillo, Dong Hyun “Stun Gun” Kim, Jacob “Christmas” Volkmann and Diego “The Gun” Nunes earned decision wins, respectively, over Nam Phan, Junior Assuncao, Anthony “The Assassin” Njokuani, Sean Pierson, Efrain Escudero and Manny “The Anvil” Gamburyan.

MMA legend Don “The Predator” Frye and his legendary mustache unretired for the umpteenth time at GLADIATOR CHALLENGE: MEGA STARS in Lincoln, California on Sunday, December 11, 2011.

Don Frye took on late replacement Ruben Villareal, a journeyman fighter who once fought in Strikeforce but was now riding a 5-fight losing streak. Warpath violently ended his victory drought with a brutal knockout of Don Frye. The 46-year-old Frye, a true cowboy, remains one of MMA’s funniest personalities and will likely once again retire into a for-hire commentary role.
