Classic PPV Series UFC 150

Intro.

Lets take ourselves back to August 2012. Batmans The Dark Knight Rises, and. Ted, were proving to be Box Office smashes. The Spice Girls had performed at the Olympics in London, and Payphone by Maroon 5 was at Number in the UK. And the UFC was at it's most profitable. They were seeing record highs were ever they went. From Canada. Brazil. China, and the UK, the worlds leading fight Organisation was proving with every event, that MMA would become the world leader in Combat Sports. This was a year to remember, and this event is one that I go back to all the time.

5. The Future Was Looking Bright For Max Holloway.

When you take a deep dive into the career of Max Holloway, you could get a sense that the UFC were on to something when he became marketable. He's a multiple time Featherweight Champion, and BMF Champion, and it started on this night when he beat Justin Lawrence. Justin would go on to be a standout in Bellator MMA after his contract with the UFC wasn't renewed.

4. Where's Buddy Roberts Today.

Buddy would go on to have a minor career with the vegas outlet, that was until febuary of this year, when he was removed from their roster. On this night, he made his debut facing Yushin Okami in a loosing battle. Today he fights under the PFL banner.

3. Were's Ed Herman Today.

Ed on this show lost to Jake Shields in what was a boring fight. Nowadays he's a devoted coaching, and mentoring the future of the industry. This fight didn't exactly bring the best out in both fighters.

2. Denver Is The Real Home Of The UFC.

It's easy to think that Las Vegas is the home of the worlds biggest fight organisation, but it was actually given its break in Denver Colarado which was the home for UFC 1 back in 1993. Since then the sport has gone to change the way that we look at Combat Sports. It had it's issues from politicians, and critics, and those early years would be pivotal in how the organisation would be run in the fiture. Roughly 7.800 people attended the first UFC event at the McNiichols Sports Arena. I think that this is amazing, when you think about it. 19 years later the UFC returned to the state that started it all.

1. Donald Cowboy Cerone.

I think that the career of Donald Cowboy Cerone needs to be studied. I think when all is said and done. I think that Donald he will go down as one one of the best UFC fighters to never hold a Major Championship. He's had some barn burning fights over the years, facing the likes of Nate Diaz, and. Benson Henderson, but on this night he beat his former team mate Melvin Guillard, and he's never looked better. He knocked out the young assasin in the first round, having recovered from being rocked in the early on.
