UFC Update, Olympics and a TV viewing alert

Well, I do not think it took ten minutes for the UFC to render my blog post about UFC 112 meaningless. Sometime Friday, perhaps before my blog post, it was announced that Demian Maia, fresh off a win over Dan Miller on February 6, 2009, will take on Anderson Silva on April 10, 2010. This leaves Maia a little over eight weeks to train for the biggest fight of the year against some people consider to be the best fighter in the world. Maia is a top six middleweight according to the UFC and has a victory over Chael Sonnen at UFC 95, who has earned a title fight in the near future. So big props to Dana White for keeping two title fights on their first card to the United Arab Emirates.

I stayed in Friday and caught the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. Granted, nobody will ever top what China did, but I did enjoy the following events from Friday.

The guy who tapped dance to the Seinfeld theme.
The shadow shot of the fake moon where Batman was playing the fiddle.
The Peter Pan remake.
The shot on Wayne Gretzky's face as one of the parts of the Olympic torch stand was not rising.
Wayne Gretzky standing up through the roof of a truck driving through Vancouver to the outdoor Olympic torch, while citizens of Vancouver were doing their best to channel the two dudes who ran along side Hank Aaron after he hit Home run 715.

For now, I encourage everyone to watch The Amazing Race on CBS tonight. Who wouldn't want to watch this person try to compete in this event?
