UFC 175 took place from Las Vegas Nevada at Mandalay Bay Casino (last night on July 5th) with it being fight week and all it was sure to be an exciting card and I gotta say it indeed delivered. There were two titles on the line. The middleweight title and the women’s batemweight title. The 1st title defense featured Ronda Rousey (C) vs Alexis Davis, in a bout that lasted an astonishing 16 secs! Rousey came out swinging and hit Davis with an overhand right which by this time Davis was already rocked. Rousey then delivered one of her infamous judo throws followed up by a series of punches to the face of Davis which called for a stoppage by the referee.
In the second title bout we saw Chris Weidman (C) vs Lyoto Machida. Let me just say this fight was an AMAZING thrill ride. The bout went all 5 rounds, the first two easily belonging to Weidman the third and forth could’ve been anyone’s game and the 5th had Machida finishing strong. In the end the judges scored it as a unanimous decision in the favor of weidman.
So there you have it both Americans retained their titles last night in champion like fashion.
Other note notable mentions goes to Stefan Struve and Matt Mitrione their bout was called off when (the returning Struve) blacked out in the locker room.
Another stand out fight for me would be the one between Uriah Hall and Thiago Santos in which Uriah won via unanimous decision dispute a broken toe that was sticking outside of the skin. That’s a heart of a true fighter

All and all I really did enjoy this card even if the main reason why I paid only lasted 16 secs. What did you guys think? Did you enjoy UFC175? Let us know.
