UFC 89 Live Blog – Taylor vs Lytle
Paul Taylor gets a massive cheer – referee Kevin Mulholland doesn’t, bless him. Lytle looks typically non-plussed, and they start leathering each other like they’re both planned on taking home the bonuses on offer. If it keeps up like this, they’re likely going to get at least two of them between them.
When they’re not in the clinch, neither man is bothering with any footwork. Instead, they stand approximately a foot and a half apart and use each other as a punch bag. It’s not as entertaining as we’d hoped, and though they go at it intermittently for the three round the crowd is pretty flat until the last twenty seconds.
Lytle takes a deserved unanimous decision, and nobody understands his post-fight speech. Now we know how the American’s feel when they listen to us.

Mr. Barnes, I think they gave it to Lytle for the for pushing Taylor back the whole fight, even thought he was calm and firing back. I thought Taylor would’ve won otherwise. Maybe if he planted his feet and backed Lytle up more often?
