7/23/2012- Preview of Raw 1000, UFC 149 results, Bellator 72 results, Athletics sweep Yankees, Dodgers sweep Mets

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great weekend this weekend! As you may know, tonight is the 1000th episode of WWE's flagship program, Monday Night Raw. Here's a preview of what to expect for tonight, as well as a recap of what happened over the weekend. Here we go!

MLB
If you are a New York baseball fan, chances are you thought this was the worst weekend in baseball. That is true as the Yankees got swept by the Oakland Athletics in 4 games, and the Mets got swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 3 games. Yankees fans are still spared in division standings as they still remain in 1st place of the AL East. However, Sunday's loss was worse for the Mets as they have fallen below .500 for the 1st time this season. As Sunday Night Baseball analyst Terry Francona said, "The Mets need help in the bullpen".

This week, the Yankees travel to Safeco Field to face the Seattle Mariners in the last part of their West Coast trip. For the Mets, they will host the Washington Nationals in a 3 game set, before heading to their own West Coast tour this Thursday.

Bellator
The 2nd part of the Bellator Summer Series took place last Friday as Bellator 72 emanated from the USF Sun Dome. The event aired on MTV2 and Epix. Here are the results from the main card:
  • Marius Zaromkis def Waachiim Spiritwolf via split decision
  • Attila Vegh def Emanuel Newton via split decision
  • Travis Wiuff def Tim Carpenter via unanimous decision
  • Paul Daley def Rudy Bears via TKO at Round 1
  • Karl Amoussou def Bryan Baker via Submission at Round 1
Here are the highlights from Bellator 72:

The following night, UFC 149 took place at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Overall, there were 11 fights on the card. 2 streamed on Facebook, 4 aired on FX, while the rest aired on PPV. Here are the results:

WWE
As you all know, tonight is the night where the 1000th episode of Raw will take place in St. Louis, Missouri. The events scheduled to take place are Daniel Bryan & AJ's wedding, John Cena vs CM Punk for the WWE Championship, and appearances from stars such as DX, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, and many more.

Even though in the video, it says next week, it's tonight since this was an old clip. Also, a message from the WWE Chairman is uploaded onto YouTube:

Don't forget. Raw starts at 8/7c on USA Network. Also, there will be a pre-show streamed onto YouTube at 7:30 to preview this historic episode.
That's all I have to say for now. Have a great week everyone!
