Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week this week as a lot happened such as a bad spell for New York baseball, as well as a cancellation of a UFC event. More will be shared as you read along. Here we go!
MLB
After hosting the Red Sox and winning the series 2 out of 3, the Yankees traveled to US Cellular Field to take on the Chicago White Sox in a 3 game set. The Yankees lost the 1st 2 games in a blowout, and attempted to avoid a sweep but it wasn't to be as they fell short by 1 run on Wednesday. If getting swept wasn't enough, the worst part is that the Tampa Bay Rays are catching up in division standings and now the Yankees are only 2 games ahead in the AL East. Meanwhile for the Mets, they lost 4 games at home to the Colorado Rockies, even though they made an attempt to avoid a sweep yesterday.
The Yankees will be in Cleveland to take on the Cleveland Indians this weekend in a 3 game set before heading back home. The Mets will host the Houston Astros one final time as intradivision opponents this weekend. The reason being is that the Houston Astros will be in the AL West in 2013, and the next time the Mets face them will be in Interleague Play.
MMA
If you heard about it yesterday, it's definitely true that UFC 151 is indeed cancelled. The reason being is that Dan Henderson got injured, and the replacement opponent was going to be Chael Sonnen. However, Jon Jones refused to fight Sonnen, which led to Dana White cancelling the entire event altogether. Here are some of the video highlights.
Even though most of the video highlights is true, part of it is outdated since Machida declined the title shot, and Jones will face Vitor Belfort at UFC 152. Initial reports stated that UFC 152 would be renamed to UFC 151, but Zuffa decided not to and declared that UFC 151 is a lost event. Here's the fight card of what could have happened on September 1st.
MMA fans, even though UFC 151 is not taking place, the good news is that there will be an MMA event tonight. That's right, Bellator Fighting Championships will host the last event of the 2012 Summer Series.
NFL
This weekend is the third week of NFL Preseason. The New York Giants will host the Chicago Bears tonight and will air on CBS. 2 days later, the New York Jets will host the Carolina Panthers and will air on Sunday Night Football on NBC. The good news for Jets fans is that Austin Howard will start at Right Tackle for this game, and Santonio Holmes and Jeremy Kerley will play as well.
WWE
This past Monday on Raw was the Raw after the SummerSlam PPV. Raw kicked off with Brock Lesnar in the ring telling how he made Triple H tap out (and would eventually announce "retirement" later on via Tout). Other than that, Raw was basically filler with a few highlights such as Shawn Michaels making a speech via satellite and CM Punk "apparently" turning heel.
Overall, it was a better Monday Night Raw compared to the Raw that happened last week. However, there still more work to be done.
That's all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend!
