Brent Crouch – My Online Journal

Usually when I watch a UFC event, I can hardly wait until the last fight, the main event, the moment that everyone has been waiting for. It never happened last night. The Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera fight wasn't entertaining and to say I had a lack of interest was an understatement. One thing I can say for sure, just like in the recent past, the fight was too close to call and no matter who won the decision, there was going to be those that didn't agree. Personally, I consider that fight a draw.

Michael Bisping def. Denis Kang was an interesting fight to me for one reason. I can't stand Michael Bisping. He's a loud mouth, cocky, arrogant moron. He ran his mouth against Dan Henderson leading up to UFC 100 and Henderson paid him back with one of the most devastating knockouts I have ever seen. I didn't know much about Denis Kang, but I was hopeful that he would would do the same. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and Michael Bisping won the fight.

If you were looking for an exciting fight this weekend, Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers wouldn't have left you disappointed. Fedor was cut within 1 minute of the first round and was bleeding pretty bad. From this point, I was standing just feet from a 50" tv anxious to see if Fedor was going to pull off another victory or if Rogers would finally put an end to his invincible rein. I think Rogers clearly won the first round finishing it up on top of Fedor and dealing him five vicious shots. By this point, I wasn't sure if Fedor was going to pull off another win or not.

You can never count him out. Once again Fedor proved that he can handle a much larger challenger by knocking Rogers out cold in 1:48 of the second round.

This was one of the best fights I've seen in a while. It was action packed and was a great match up. The UFC needs to get off their butts and set up Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brock Lesnar. That's what fans want to see!

Here is a great "blow by blow" of the fight from ESPN.

This is my first post in nearly six months! 2009 has been a great, but also a very busy year for me and my family.

Most of my regular readers know that my primary business has been an e-commerce site that my wife and I started out of our garage in 2001. In 8 years we had grown that business into a 10,000 square foot facility that we owned and were generating 7 figures a year in revenue.

If you have ever operated a business of that size, then you know everything isn't about lots of money, sandy beaches, and fruity drinks. It's more about long hours, lots of taxes, and employee issues. Owning a business has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life, but it has also been one of the most demanding and stressful.
