UFC 88 Flashback: Rashad KO's Liddell

By Ross Everett

Rashad Evans was fighting for respect. He earned it and then some with a devastating 2nd round TKO of Chuck Liddell in the main event of UFC 88: Breakthrough.

If Evans needed any more validation of how little respect he was getting, he could have taken a look at the UFCs text message prediction poll of the main event which favored The Iceman by a whopping 81% to 19% margin. Or he could have listened to the UFC announcers, who had all but penciled Liddell in for a return to light heavyweight title contention after his inevitable victory.

From the opening horn, Evans showed no fear of Liddells once legendary power. Instead, he danced and moved (which was dumbly criticized as showboating by the UFC announce team), using his slick footwork and speed to dart in and out of range of Liddells punches.

The end was to come in the 2nd round. Liddell backed Evans up near the cage wall and went to throw an uppercut. Simultaneously, Evans responded with an overhand right that landed quicker, harder and more accurately. The perfectly placed punch knocked Liddell out cold and referee Herb Dean jumped in to cover him up and wave off the fight without taking a second look.

Rashad Evans raised his record to 17-0-1, with the lone blemish a draw against Tito Ortiz at UFC 73. Liddell, meanwhile, saw his record drop to 21-6"with three of those six losses coming in his last 4 fights.

Liddells loss notwithstanding, it was a good night for UFC veterans as Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson won their fights in impressive fashion. Franklin looked particularly sharp in dismantling tough Matt Hamill, eventually prevailing by 3rd round TKO.

This was the UFCs first trip to Atlanta and despite a good attendance the crowd itself was somewhat disappointing. In a marked contrast to the knowledgeable and enthusiastic fans at the Target Center in Minneapolis for UFC 87"arguably the best MMA crowd ever at a US venue"the live crowd at Phillips Arena often acted as if they were at a taping of Georgia Championship Wrestling. Every foreign fighter was booed mercilessly"including South Korean Kim. Kim was treated like legendary Gary Hart managed pro wrestling heel Pak Song as he had to endure a USA chant during his fight. Perhaps the audience didnt realize that South Korea has been a US ally since its establishment after WW II. The fighters from other longtime adversaries of the United States"Brazil and Holland"fared somewhat better.

More problematic was the crowds utter lack of respect for the fighters postfight. Poor Dong Hyun Kim was booed during his postfight interview like he was Professor Toru Takana cutting a heel promo on Mr. Wrestling 2 after winning the Georgia Heavyweight Title by throwing salt in his opponents eyes while the referee was distracted. Not quite the respect that a 4th degree judo black belt whod just won a very tough fight deserves. Even Rashad Evans was booed after his dominating KO victory.

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Free

By Chad Yuri

After the grand success of the first four Harry Potter movies, fans couldnt wait for the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie. The waiting got even more precious for two main reasons, the first one is pretty simple " fans just wanted to see their favorite wizard Harry Potter again, the second was that people wanted to know what new magic the new director, David Yates, was going to perform. Oh and were they satisfied, as the David Yates churns the largest of all the Harry Potter books into two and a half hours of thrilling entertainment.

Many die-hard JK Rowling fans will tell you they were disappointed with Yates effort. That is because he left out some major events and scenarios in the book and added a few scenes that were nowhere in the book. But to satisfy millions of fans and to convert an 870 page book into a movie is no easy task, however, the director despite some criticism has managed to come out with a true winner.

Dolores Umbridge is one of the new characters in the Harry Potter series and her role is played by Imelda Staunton, who plays her snobbish and strict teachers role to absolute perfection. In the movie, like most other teachers she fails to bring the Weasley twins under control and they leave the school in grand style to start their new venture. Dolores Umbridge, the woman in pink from the Ministry of Magic, was one of the most effective and influential characters in this movie.

While Dumbledore is planning with the Order of the Phoenix, Harry, Ron and Hermione are eager to learn more about this secret group. They soon get involved as they are brought to the secret hideout of the group, the House of the Black which is Sirus Blacks house, and meet the house elf Kreacher. Harry also gets to meet all the members of the Order of the Phoenix including one who he doesnt completely trust or like.

One of the latest additions to the Potter series characters is Dolores Umbridge. This lady in pink is an employee with the Ministry of Magic and has been sent to take control of things at Hogwarts. Her conservative and cruel ways soon create a strong student dislike against her. Imelda Staunton plays the strict and snobbish persons role brilliantly and is one of the biggest success of this movie.

One of the most fascinating parts of the movie is the special effects, especially the thestrals. The movie also has managed to get the right casts for the roles of Dolores Umbridge and Bellatrix. All in all this Harry Potter movie is without doubt one of the best in the series so far.

For those of you who still havent been able to watch this brilliant movie, can now watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix online free of cost on our website.
