Well incase some of you guys didn't know UFC74 was last night and itturned out to be a very good card with two marquee fights. Going into this event there was alot of hype for the return of Canadian Georges St.Pierre who was coming off losing his title in a devestating loss to the underdog Matt Serra, and alot of people would wonder how he rebounded coming off a loss, and he would be fighting the very fast up and coming star Josh Koscheck, who was coming off the biggest win of his career in defeating Diego Sanchez who was undefeated at the time.This fight turned out to be a really good fight, with Georges out working Koscheck and controlling him on the ground which we have never seen happen to Koscheck on the ground since he is a 4 timeDivision-1 NCAA National Wrestling champion,and Georges ran through him he didn't look hurt trough the fight and his new camp that he has been training with in New Mexico really paid off because he really proved through out the fight and won a unamious decision. Thus earning him a title shot against the winner of Matt Serra and Matt Hughes for the Welterweight Championship.
Now in the main event this fight featured the 28 year old killer who was coming off one of the biggest upsets in UFC by scoring a head kick KO over highly favoured Mirko Cro Cop who many people thought was going to rule the division, the man who KO him was Gabriel Gonzaga who would be facing the 44 year old captain america Randy Couture who is coming off beating the 6'8 giant Tim Sylvia to win the Heavyweight championship and this fight between Gozaga was considered to be more of a diffulcult match-up than it would be against Cro Cop. However Randy Couture surpassed reality once again as he completly destroyed Gonzaga by putting him in a clinch and slamming him to the ground which opened a nasty cut over Gonzagas nose, and Couture smelled the blood and kept punching and elbowing until the ref stopped the fight in the 3rd round. Randy Couture wins by 3rd round tko and remains the Heavyweight Champion.
In the other fights other canadian Patrick Cote scored a beautiful upset win over Kendall Grove by KOing him in the first round with a well placed right hand to the head. Roger Huerta showed that he really is a forced to be reackoned with in the Lightweight division as he scored a tko victory over decorated contender Alberto Crane. Joe Stevenson won a unamious decision over high regarded Kurt Pellingrino which will mostlikely earn himself a title shot with the victory.
