UFC 130 Fight Card Results: Roy Nelson Vs Frank Mir

A heavyweight fight between former champion of UFC heavyweight Frank Mir and Roy "Big Country" Nelson was the co-main event for the UFC 130 fight card.Prior to the fight a great deal had been made about these two friends, a fact that the fighters said, was just not true. So, the opinion that both would be reluctant to go after each other went out the window when that talk went by the wayside.
Nelson get into the fight to the strains of Weird Al Yankovic's "Fat," a tribute to his own physique. The aim in this fight was for Mir to solidify his position in the heavyweight fight division, while Nelson looked to get in the top.
Nelson bum interred Mir against the cage and Mir then looked for a single leg which he was not able to stick there. Nelson then held Mir against the cage for a short time with Mir delivering a knee and then a head kick to Nelson.Mir looked very, very relaxed and at ease early in the first round. Mir landed a number of knees to Nelson with the iron chinned Nelson eating all of them.
Mir then came back in the game with a nice throw, but he was not able to keep Nelson on the earth. The spectators were happy with the first round; applauding strongly as the fighters walked to their stools. Mir started the second round gaining a single leg takedown. Nelson was able to get back to his feet without sustaining damage on the ground. Mir gained another takedown halfway through the second round, but Nelson was once again able to get back to his feet. Nelson looked completely gassed as he looked for his stool between rounds and while Mir looked tired, he did not look like he was anywhere near the Nelson’s level.
Nelson had nothing to offer Mir who looked so much better than he did in his last fight with Cro-Cop. If Mir goes into his next bout with the same style as this fight he could be in line for a title shot.
Nelson was quite slow as the third rounded begun; he was looking more like a drunken bar fighter than an MMA fighter. Mir took Nelson down easily at the 1:30 mark of round three. Nelson will require to go back to the drawing board after this fight because he looked completely out of his league in this bout.

CSAT 2011 Pattern / Format Comprehension


In this section, questions may be based on certain real-life situations. The aim will be to test how good a candidate is at fact-finding, sifting through information, interpreting text, predicting and inferring events and recognising implied meanings.

Inter-personal skills
Inter-personal communication implies face-to-face communication involving few people (typically two) rather than large groups. This section is aimed to test the candidate’s ability to understand and manage the dynamics of social interaction.

Logical reasoning and analytical ability
Logical reasoning measures your ability to understand, analyse and evaluate arguments. Each question is based on a short passage, graph, table or a set of conditions. Analytical ability questions are aimed at measuring your ability to analyse a given structure of arbitrary relationships and to deduce new information from that structure.

Decision-making and Problem-solving
This section measures your ability to use logic in solving problems. The question will generally relate to situations that require you either to take some action, to explain why an action has or would be taken or interpret what the action implies. Questions based on some law and order situations or administrative deadlocks also can be expected.

General Mental Ability (GMA)
In the old pattern, General Mental Ability (GMA) Tests were included in the General Studies Paper. Now it has been shifted to Paper-II. The aim of the GMA Test is to evaluate your cognitive abilities — how proficient are you at learning and finding solutions.

Basic Numeracy
This section includes numbers and their relations, orders of magnitude etc, which are of class X level. The questions will test your ability to use numbers and solve simple numerical problems. The numerical knowledge you need for these tests is school level mathematics.

Data Interpretation
Data Interpretation (DI) questions tests one’s ability to interpret data presented in tables, graphs and charts. It usually requires two basic steps. First, you have to read a chart or graph in order to obtain certain information. Then you have to apply or manipulate the information for an answer.

This section also includes data sufficiency. Each question is followed by two statements — (1) and (2). Your task is to analyse each of the two statements to determine whether it provides sufficient data to answer the question.

Comprehension: This section tests your ability to read and understand written material. Questions in this section will be of class X level and will be tested through passages. The Reading Comprehension test requires a good grasp over the English language. The passage will be followed by multiplechoice questions

There is been a wide perception regarding the establishment of the new pattern, there are already many complaints been filed in a stack in the Supreme Court, regarding the issue. When, you compare the new pattern with the old existed pattern (preliminary exam), you could probably say that the new pattern definitely loses the advantage of the optional subjects. These optional subjects are very popular, as they are very easy to understand and they do not demand any specific backgrounds to learn them.

They would also help to cover the general studies too, for example, if a student is strong in the general studies, then he/she could concentrate on it, and thereby it would be enough to spend less time on the optional subjects. Thus, such benefits would not be available in the new pattern. If the syllabus for the new pattern is designed tougher, than the existed old pattern, then the students would be facing difficult situations in clearing the preliminary exams
