5/27/2013- UFC 160 results, preview of Raw, Subway Series preview, more

Hello everyone and Happy Memorial Day! I hope all of you had a great Memorial Day weekend! This week is an interesting week for baseball fans since interleague match ups are scheduled for this week, which will bring excitement. More will be shared as you read along. Here we go!

UFC
This past Saturday was UFC 160 pay per view, which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Overall, there were 12 fights on the card: 3 on Facebook, 4 on FX, while the rest on PPV. Here are the results:

Facebook

  • George Roop def Brian Bowles via TKO at Round 2
  • Stephen Thompson def Nah-Shon Burrell via unanimous decision
FX

  • Mike Pyle def Rick Story via split decision
PPV

  • Glover Teixeira def James Te-Huna via Submission at Round 1
  • Junior Dos Santos def Mark Hunt via KO at Round 3
  • Cain Velasquez def Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva via TKO at Round 1 to retain the UFC Heavyweight Championship

WWE
Tonight on Monday Night Raw will emanate from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Once Raw concludes, use the WWE App to watch the Bret Hart Appreciation Night segment.

MLB
This week is an interesting week for baseball fans since interleague match ups are underway from today until Thursday. Here are the match ups happening this week:
  • Beltway Series: Baltimore Orioles vs Washington Nationals
  • Pittsburgh Pirates vs Detroit Tigers: Steel City vs Motor City
  • Ohio Cup: Cleveland Indians vs Cincinnati Reds
  • Minnesota Twins vs Milwaukee Brewers (Plays out the NFL Rivalry between Vikings/Packers)
  • I-70 Series: KC Royals vs STL Cardinals
  • Citrus Series: Miami Marlins vs Tampa Bay Rays
  • Battle of the Bay: SF Giants vs Oakland Athletics
  • Atlanta Braves vs Toronto Blue Jays: 1992 World Series rematch
  • Crosstown Classic: Chicago White Sox vs Chicago Cubs
  • Subway Series: New York Yankees vs New York Mets
  • Freeway Series: Los Angeles Dodgers vs Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
  • D-Bag Series: Boston Red Sox vs Philadelphia Phillies
I'm interested in all the matchups, but the one I'm looking forward to the most is the Subway Series. Also, the geographical rivalries have changed since the Astros moved to the American League. Instead of meeting twice a year, the opponents will meet once a year in a 4 game set where 2 games in one ballpark and 2 in the other. For example: the Mets will host the Yankees tonight and tomorrow night, while the Yankees will host the Mets Wednesday and Thursday night.

That's all I have to say for now. Have a good Memorial Day and enjoy your week!
