Winning Weekend

Well, it seemed like a winning weekend - Italy defeated France for the World Cup (on penalties), and Tito Ortiz beat Ken Shamrock in the UFC fight we watched on Saturday as well.

The World Cup was actually a decent game, but the fight was a little unfulfilling. Although Tito won really quickly, there was a definite feeling that the ref stopped it a little on the early side. Although Shamrock took 4 or 5 clean blows to the head from Tito's elbow, there wasn't any blood and Shamrock was still moving around, trying to get out. Guess it might set up another rematch, but we'll have to wait and see on that one.
