So what did you think about Ultimate Fight Night 12 that recently aired on Spike TV? Some good fights right? The Mike Swick vs Josh Burkman fight wasn’t exciting, but Swick should be happy with his performance. I know that he looked a bit bummed after the fight. He’s use to having some insane victories, like the time he knocked out Gideon Ray, or the time he submitted Joe Riggs, or the beating he put on David Loiseau. However, although nothing exciting happened, Swick put up some great defense against a guy who’s known for big take downs / slams. Not being taken down once, that’s something to be proud of. So what was all of the booing for? Both fighters were swigging for the fences… simply nothing connected for a big KO.
Although the Swick vs Burkman fight wasn’t that thrilling, The Patrick Cote vs Drew McFedries fight was exciting an a bit of an upset, Alvin Robinson vs Nate Diaz? Nate Diaz really surprised me, his ground game is highly unrated. Nate was extremely fast on the ground and continuous tried to catch Alvin in a different submission.

Overall the event was entertaining, thanks to Spike and the UFC for putting on another great, free performance. Looking forward to Fight Night 13 in Colorado, where the two Bostonian badasses, Joe Lauzon and Kenny Florian will face off.
