Classic PPV Thoughts Series. Post 1 UFC 92. December 27th 2008.

Intro.

I'm going to be trying something new. This is something that I feel very passionate about, because some events, whether their in MMA, or Pro Wrestling have a littany of cool moments, and insights that might have escaped the standard fans attention, so over the next ten posts in this series. I will be doing my best to dig beneath the surface of these events. And were starting off with a good one UFC 92.

5. Behind The Scenes. 

I used to love these mini documentaries that would come in the DVD special features, because sometimes you got glimpses into the future. Case and Point. Rashad Evans, and. Greg Jackson. At one point these two were in seprable, however just a couple of years after this was filmed, the pair would part ways. This was due to Greg Jackson and Mike winklejon pushing Jon Jones into their main thoughts, leaving Rashad out in the cold. Even though this isn't news. I do feel that it echoes what this business can be like. Harsh, and unrelenting, just like a revolving door.

4. Pat Barry Had A Nasty Leg Kick.

As a fan of this sport. I have seen some nasty leg kicks, and this has to be one of the most sickening. Mr HD put away Dan Eversen easily on this night

3. Where Is Mike Wessel Now.

A true degree of what a fighter is like, can be shown in defeat. Mike lost his fight to Anthony Hardonk on this night by TKO, but I think that can be forgiven due to the fact that he took the fight on a weeks notice. This loss lead him to take a spot on The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 Heavyweights. He was the last pick on Team Rashad, and was beaten by Marcus Jones by armbar in what was a fairly one sided fight. He wasn't picked for the UFC after 2011, and then went to fight for Bellator. And he would go on to have a mismatch of a run in that promotion. This would end in 2016, and he would retire after that at the age of 39. In 2018 he got into a bit of trouble when he was accused of road rage in his hometown of Jonesbro Arkansas. However no charges were pressed due to the evidence not matching up.

2. Quinton Rampage Jackson. 

This was the best time that i had seen Rampage Jackson, and what puts him on this list is how he beat Wanderlai Silva. Clean Knockout. After this Quinton would try to get back the Light Heavyweight Championship, but if i'm being honest. His fights were a bit dull, and a lifetime away from his prime from 2003 through to 2009. He would change camps, and get a new manager. This woud see him relocate to Liverpool in the UK, and Train out of the Wolfslair, and he would use the same Manager as Michael The Count Bisping. Anthony Mccann.

1. The Start Of Frank Mirs Uneven Time During 2008 to 2012.

Frank had the world on his back, when you take a look back at 2008, he was on the comeback trail, he beat. Brock Lesnar at UFC 81, and just like that he was back. He beat Minatauro Noguiera at UFC 92 to become the UFC Interim Heavyweight Championship, and after this he would have an interesting time going for the belt on two occassions, the first was against Brock Lesnar, and the second was against Junior Dos Santos. His runs to these shots essentially led to nothing, and i feel that it started here.
