video review : Kamaru Usman versus Colby Covington at UFC 245

This is a case of two wrestlers canceling each other out in the sense that it seems neither wants to go for a takedown. The result is a virtual kickboxing match full of action. It’s a back and forth brawl, very close, until the final round when Usman puts Covington down.

video review : Tremors

What’s best about Tremors is the way it traps its characters together in confined spaces. It’s like Night Of The Living Dead except it’s daytime in Nevada, the killers; huge snake-like creatures that eat people alive by tracking their vibrations from underground; aren’t dead and the movie isn’t great.

It isn’t quite good neither, but it is somewhat entertaining in a wacky cliché sort of way. The theme is mostly comedy and there are funny parts; the two leading handymen banter back and forth thru the whole movie; but I wonder how much better it could be if it took itself more seriously.

video review : Anderson Silva versus Vitor Belfort at UFC 126

video review : Anderson Silva versus Vitor Belfort at UFC 126

Two leg kicks is the only action for almost the first three minutes of this bout. That’s probably because both Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort know they can get knocked out at a moment’s notice, especially Silva. Vitor Belfort is on a three-fight knockout streak.

He finally gets it going by, as Joe Rogan phrases it, tagging Silva with a left and the fight doesn’t last long from there. Silva, who displays outstanding head movement while dodging Belfort’s signature flurry, knocks him out with a front kick to the face. “Wow!”
