For that reason, no one knew quite what to expect in Saturday's WEC Interim Lightweight Championship battle between Donald Cerrone and Ben Henderson. Henderson was known for his dominating wrestling skills, while Cerrone has a reputation as a punishing striker. Instead of being a clash of styles, however, it was an instance where the differing approaches of the two competitors complimented each other perfectly. The result was a 'fight of the year' candidate bout that Henderson won by unanimous-decision.]]> http://www.cfswords.com/sword-blog/henderson-tops-cerrone-for-interim-lightweight-title/feed/ 0 http://www.cfswords.com/sword-blog/mma-flashback-babalu-cuts-up-southworth-to-take-strikeforce-title/ http://www.cfswords.com/sword-blog/mma-flashback-babalu-cuts-up-southworth-to-take-strikeforce-title/#comments Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:37:54 +0000 Ross Everett http://www.cfswords.com/sword-blog/mma-flashback-babalu-cuts-up-southworth-to-take-strikeforce-title/ Renato Babalu Sobral defeated Bobby Southworth by TKO to become Strikeforce light heavyweight champion in the co-main event of the promotions 'Destruction' card on Friday night.

That may be the oldest sports cliche in the world, but for the mainstream sports media, and the fans that depend on them for their information, its just not true. Its all about whether you win or lose. Turn on any sports talk radio show and youll be subjected to all manner of banal discussion to reinforce my point. Karl Malone and Dan Marino werent truly great because they never won a championship. The Utah Jazz and Buffalo Bills werent great teams because they were unable to take their sports ultimate honor. If teams and players arent being berated for a failure to win, theyre simply forgotten. If you can name the losing team in the past ten NBA championships youve got a disturbing knowledge of meaningless sports trivia.]]> http://www.cfswords.com/sword-blog/carlos-palomino-mexicos-welterweight-boxing-legend/feed/ 0 http://www.cfswords.com/sword-blog/choreographed-moves-in-wrestling/ http://www.cfswords.com/sword-blog/choreographed-moves-in-wrestling/#comments Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:31:43 +0000 Rhys Jones http://www.cfswords.com/sword-blog/choreographed-moves-in-wrestling/ Wrestling throws are not straight-forward, since if you are not paying close attention, you could believe that the moves are real.
