UFC on Fox 5 in Seattle, Washington proved that it was indeed worth the hype. As clearly the best card from top to bottom in 2012, it had spectacular finishes and dominant performances. On episode #8 of the Getting Lucky MMA podcast, I am joined by "English" Thom Burton to cover all of the action.

Episode #008 Summary: first we eulogize one of the most special "residents" of the Seattle and talk about quick news: Johny Hendricks has been put aside in favor of Nick Diaz for a title shot against GSP. I wrote about this on WhatCulture last week
here. Also, we talk about Ronda Rousey being anointed as the first female champion in the UFC without ever having fought in the promotion. As the Strikeforce 135 champ, Dana awarded her with the belt. Is this fair? Should she have fought for it? After we cover all of the fights, how each was decided, and make match-up predictions for both fighters in the bout. And we talk about a lot things along the way, including the entertainment value of the Bantamweights and Flyweights, just how crazy is Rory MacDonald, and how the Benson Henderson Lightweight championship fight against Nate Diaz is an indication of what is to come in the Welterweight title picture. Join us, won't you?
