5/14/2012- Yankees def Mariners 2 out of 3, Marlins def Mets 2 out of 3, Bellator 68 Results, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great weekend as this weekend was Mother's Day weekend. There were a lot of newsworthy events that occurred over the weekend as you read along, so here we go!

MLB
During the weekend, the Yankees defeated the Mariners on Friday and Saturday, but the Seattle team avoided a sweep on Sunday when it was also the day of Andy Pettitte's return to The Bronx. Meanwhile for the Mets, they fell short on Friday, won on Saturday, but couldn't win the series on Sunday to the Miami Marlins.

This week, the Yankees will be heading on the road to Baltimore for only 2 days to face the Orioles, then head north of the border to face the Toronto Blue Jays for 2 days as well. The Mets will host the Milwaukee Brewers for 2 days, then face the Cincinatti Reds for 2 days as well. The reason why is mainly due to interleague weekend coming up.

Bellator
Bellator 68 took place on Friday night in Caesar's Casino in Atlantic City, NJ and aired on MTV 2. Here are the results from the main card:
  • Marius Zaromskis def Waachiim Spiritwolf via Doctor's Stoppage after Round 2
  • Marcin Held def Derrick Kennington via submission at Round 1
  • Marcos Galvao def Travis Marx to advance to the Bantamweight Tournament Final
  • Daniel Straus def Marlon Sandro to win the Season 6 Featherweight Tournament
Here are the highlights from Bellator 68:



UFC
This Tuesday, UFC will host a UFC on Fuel TV event, where it will emanate from the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia, and will be headlined by "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung and Dustin Poirier. If you don't have FuelTV, you can also view it on FOX Deportes as well since Deportes will simulcast the event in Spanish.

WWE
This past Friday on SmackDown focused on the feud between Randy Orton, Sheamus, Chris Jericho, and Alberto Del Rio since all four of them will face each other for Sheamus' World Title at Over the Limit. Also, it was a continuation of the confrontation between The Big Show and John Laurinaitis since last week on Raw, Show imitated Johnny Ace's voice. Overall, it was an okay episode, where the hit was solely on the feud for the World Heavyweight Championship. The one thing I didn't like was Antonio Cesaro's theme song. Come on, he was part of a famous tag team with Chris Hero in ROH, and gets a generic theme song for his debut match. And Aksana as his valet?! What's up with that?!

This Monday on Raw will continue where Johnny Ace and Big Show left on SmackDown, and Triple H is scheduled to make an appearance. Also, it was announced late last week that WWE NXT will move their tapings to Full Sail University in Florida where it will focus on the developmental talent from FCW and the NXT wrestlers.

That's all I have to say for now. Have a good week!
