Junior Dos Santos UFC 146

Junior Dos Santos put the icing on the cake in what was billed as the” first heavyweight only UFC PPV in history”. Dos Santos defended his title successfully by putting an end to Frank Mir in the second round. The one thing that UFC has over boxing is that the heavyweight division division is much more exciting and much deeper. Dos Santos’ next opponent could be another clash with Cain Velasquez, but there are quite a few other prospects including Daniel Cormier. What was interesting was the fact that former heavyweight champ, yet currently retired Brock Lesnar attended the show and he appeared to have something to discuss with Dana White. Now while Brock is currently involved in angle with the WWE, he may possibly be looking for a squash match within the octagon in the future if that is even possible for him after what he has endured.

Mayweather vs Cotto

The event of this past weekend was the anticipated fight between Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr and Miguel Cotto. The big fight was preceded by Saul Canelo Alvarez and future hall of famer Shane Mosley in which the former landed hard hitting shots throughout all twelve rounds to secure a unanimous decision against the veteran. The judges in the main event fight scored in a way that made it seem like it was a blowout victory for Mayweather but the fight was much closer than what the score indicated. Overall it was a very competitive fight as Cotto pushed Mayweather to the brink only for Mayweather to show that he can still move up in weight and still be victorious with his defensive prowess. If you missed out on the fight, then you missed out on a very good boxing Saturday as Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr defeated Miguel Cotto to become the new WBA Super Welterweight champion in what was one of the toughest fights of his career. There is no word yet on if there will be a rematch.

Will Tiger Be Ready For The Masters?

This has been the question regarding basically every tournament Tiger Woods has played in well over two years. Tiger Woods won the 2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational last week for his first victory tournament victory since 2009. In preparation for the Super Bowl of all golfing events, The Masters, this served as a confidence booster for Tiger and I am hopeful that come April 5th, Tiger will start the beginning of a successful run. It will be good for him, and good for golf.

New York Jets Land Tim Tebow

All it took was a fourth and sixth rounder for the New York Jets to land Tim Tebow after the Denver Broncos essentially won the lottery when Peyton Manning signed earlier this week. Both the Jets and the Jaguars were in the running for Tebow once an issue in his contracted halted the trade for a few hours. The Tebow craze will now be in the big New York market. This will add an interesting dynamic to the season, and we’ll see how and if Mark Sanchez and the rest of the locker room responds to the phenomenon that surrounds Tim Tebow. I for one will be tuning in to see how Tebow is incorporated into the offense.
