Started off watching the Lion play the Hurricanes in the Super 18 Rugby semi final, just before half time the Lions were 22 - 3 behind, they ended up winning the game 44 - 29, one of the best come from behind victories I have seen in a while. The Lions will now be up against the Crusaders in the final, it would be nice to have a non New Zealand team win for a change.
Sunday started off with me downloading UFC 214 main card, Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier DC, There has been crazy beef between these 2 over the last few years, the only person to have beaten Cormier has been Jones in a previous title shot. Since then Jones was stripped of his belt due to a DUI and drug charges. This was a well balanced fight with the first 3 rounds slightly in favour of Jones, but this could still have gone either way, in the 4th round Jones kicked Cormier to the head then hit him with a flurry of hammer fists before the ref called the fight, Jones had won by knockout! D.C. Had never been knocked out before. When Jon was interviewed after the fight, he spoke humbly about D.C. It was great to see his return to UFC and the manner in which he handled things.
Things that I have taken from this weekend is no matter how bleak things may seem with motivation and will anything is possible.
