Main Card

Cole Miller vs Jamie Varner

Round 1: Miller and Varner feel one another out. Each man focuses on their striking. Miller lands a couple of nice jabs and unofficially takes the first round.

Round 2: Miller attempts to take down Varner twice this round but Varner is able to stuff both attempts. Varner takes control of the striking this round and unofficially wins the round to tie it up.

Round 3: Both men are visibly gassed halfway through the round. Miller tries for two more take downs and is stuffed each time. Miller is able to land some shots on Varner however to win the round.

Cole Miller d. Jamie Varner (Unanimous Decision). The fight was rated as being average.

Amir Sadollah vs Matt Sera

Round 1: Serra comes out throwing bombs. Each men has a flurry of activity but Sadollah gets reckless and Serra drops him with a right. Sadollah is able to quickly pull guard before Serra can do anymore damage. The round ends with a scramble. Good stuff. Serra takes round 1.

Round 2: Serra starts hot and floors Sadollah yet again. Sadollah is able to cover up and the fight continues. Later on in the round Serra counters with another right and again Sadollah is down but he is able to get up. The round ends but Serra dominates. May have been a 10-8 round.

Round 3: Amazingly Sadollah comes in hot to start the round. He pulls off two successful take downs but can't maintain any position. He manages to pull off the round but it is going to be too little, too late.

Matt Serra d. Amir Sadollah (Unanimous Decision). The fight was rated as being decent.

Josh Grispi vs Michihiro Omigawa

Round 1: Both guys are letting big shots fly, but it is a well placed jab by Omigawa that rocks Grispi. Grispi is able to recover and avoid Omigawa's killshot that followed. Both guys unload to end the round, but Omigawa should take it.

Round 2: A slow start to the round turns into a lot of fun as Grispi knockdowns Omigawa with an overhand right. He throws some big shots from mount but Omigawa is able to collect himself and move to half guard. Omigawa gets into a position to attempt a guillotine on three different occasions but Grispi won't be caught. The round ends with both men being stood up. Grispi looks to have tied it at 1-1.

Round 3: Grispi's corner tells him to keep it standing which proves to be the wrong advice. The round starts with both men trading blows, but Omigawa's head movement allows him slip past a jab and counter with a vicious right cross that knocks Grispi out cold!

Machichiro Omigawa d. Josh Grispi at 1:12 of the 3rd round (KO - Punch). The fight was rated as being great.

Main Event: Jon Madsen vs Frank Mir

Round 1: Mir shows the superior wrestling in Round 1 as he kept Madsen against the cage for much of the round before taking him down. Madsen was able to avoid several subs from Mir but didn't do much of anything else. Mir easily takes the round.

Round 2: Mir is tired, but he gets to work again, taking Madsen down with a single leg. He spends a minute gaining some energy back before gaining better position. Mir's ground game is just too much for Madsen, and before Madsen knows it, Mir has a kneebar locked in and Madsen is forced to tap!

Frank Mir d. Jon Madsen at 3:32 of the 2nd round (Submission - Kneebar). The fight was rated as being average.

Main Card

Phil Davis (8-0) vs Jason Brilz (18-3-1)

Round 1: Davis shows his superiority in wrestling with a single leg roughly a minute in. He then passes guard and works into side control. He drills Brilz with a vicious rib to the knees which allows him to get into mount where he rains down blows on a defenseless Brilz causing the ref to jump in and stop the fight!

Phil Davis d. Jason Brilz at 3:22 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) The fight was rated as being average.

Matt Mitrione (3-0) vs Pat Barry (5-2)

Round 1: Pat Barry shows his speed advantage early as he moves in and out of Mitrione punches, hitting some big body kicks in the process. Barry gets too cocky on the inside though and after missing with a big right, Mitrione connects with a right of his own which stuns Barry. He then sends Barry down with a left right combo and mounts him, unleashing massive hammerfists causing the ref to jump in and stop the fight.

Matt Mitrione d. Pat Barry at 3:30 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) The fight was rated as being great.

Donald Cerrone (12-3) vs Kenny Florian (13-5)

Round 1: Florian, who came in overweight, is putting the weight to good use as he stuffs three Cerrone takedowns. Florian moves around, keeping Cerrone off balance with some solid striking and he easily wins the round.

Round 2: Much of the same in round 2. Cerrone is stuffed on several more takedowns and Florian keeps moving around, peppering Cerrone but never going for the kill. Florian takes round 2.

Round 3: Cerrone starts off hot with a spinning backfist that stuns Florian but he can't capitalize. Cerrone is stuffed on yet another takedown. Florian connects on several big leg kicks that visibly injure Cerrone. The bell rings and Florian takes a decision.

Kenny Florian d. Donald Cerrone (Unanimous Decision) The fight was rated as being average.

UFC Bantamweight Title Fight - Co-Main Event
Dominick Cruz [c] (16-1) vs Urijah Faber (24-4)

Round 1: The fight starts off with both men feeling each other out. Cruz takes to the offense first and peppers Faber but Faber keeps working his way inside and finally double legs Cruz. Once on top Faber easily works his way into full mount where he, much like Davis and Mitrione before him, pummels Cruz. Cruz cannot defend himself and the ref stops the fight!

Urijah Faber d. Dominick Cruz at 4:17 of round 1 (TKO - Strikes) to win the UFC Bantamweight Title! The fight was rated as being great.

UFC Middleweight Title Fight - Main Event
Anderson Silva [c] (27-4) vs Vitor Belfort (19-8)

Round 1: Silva comes out the aggressor and starts overwhelming Belfort before he can even get comfortable. Silva gets into the clinch and dirty boxes some before getting a hold of the neck of Belfort and bring it down into a massive knee that knocks Belfort out cold!

Anderson Silva d. Vitor Belfort at 2:39 of round 1 (KO - Knee) to retain the UFC Middleweight Title! The fight was rated as being decent.

Main Card

Ben Rothwell (31-7) vs Fabio Maldonado (18-3)

Round 1: Maldonado uses his speed advantage to move in and out of the pocket. Rothwell is going for power shots but cannot connect. Maldonado keeps choosing his spots and ends up winning the round comfortably.

Round 2: Maldonado is using vicious leg kicks to cut Rothwell down. They are taking their toll on Rothwell who is retreating. Maldonado senses he has Rothwell reeling after a flurry of punches and gets inside. Rothwell covers up and Maldoando backs up and goes back to his jab, except this time Rothwell ducks out of the way and explodes with an uppercut that knocks Maldonado out cold with 5 seconds to go!

Ben Rothwell d. Fabio Maldonado at 4:55 of the 2nd round (KO - Uppercut) The fight was rated as being great.

Demetrious Johnson (7-1) vs Scott Jorgensen (11-3)

Round 1: Jorgensen goes right for the takedown and succeeds. The round is nearly all lay and pay from Jorgensen though he does attempt to get into a full mount but Johnson won't allow him. A boring round for Jorgensen.

Round 2: Johnson starts the round with nice striking but is again taken down with ease. Jorgensen cannot control from the top however and gets swept. Johnson spends the rest of the round trying to get into better position. The round ends and it should be 1-1.

Round 3: Just 30 seconds into the 3rd round, Jorgensen is gassed. His takedown is stuffed off the bat and then Johnson hits a massive leg kick. As Jorgensen is sent reeling Johnson feints to give himself an angle and he knocks Jorgensen out cold with a vicious right!

Demetrious Johnson d. Scott Jorgensen at 4:30 of the 3rd round (KO - Punch) The fight was rated as being good.

Co-Main Event
Ben Henderson (12-1) vs Sean Sherk (33-4-1)

Round 1: All Henderson in round 1. He uses a Grecco Roman takedown and then spent nearly all round trying to pass guard to work his way into a sub. Sherk was able to scramble at one point but was taken back down.

Round 2: Henderson with another takedown but this time he gets mount. He isn't able to finish Sherk though so he tries to get an armbar locked in. Sherk is able to stack it and gain side control but he eventually gives up the position. The round ends soon after. Another round for Smooth.

Round 3: Henderson is gassed in the 3rd from all the work he has done on the floor. He has several takedowns stuffed and Sherk lands some solid blows but Sherk doesn't have much in the tank either. The fight ends with Sherk likely winning the round but not the fight.

Ben Henderson d. Sean Sherk (Unanimous Decision) The fight was rated as being decent.

Main Event
Thiago Silva (14-2) vs Stephen Bonnar (13-7)

Round 1: It's a solid tussle early on as both guys are landing a good amount of strikes. None of the blows are major but they are landing. As the round is coming to an end Bonnar makes the mistake of getting too close to Silva who gets him in the Muay Thai clinch. Bonnar cannot escape and in a similar fashion as what happened to Vitor Belfort vs Spider Silva, Bonnar eats a massive knee that knocks him out cold!

Thiago Silva d. Stephen Bonnar at 4:51 of the 1st round (KO - Knee) The fight was rated as being decent.

Main Card

Rousimar Palhares (11-3) vs Yoshiro Akiyama (13-3)

Round 1: Palhares comes out the aggressor, pushing the pace and taking the attack to Sexyama. His strategy isn't paying off however as Sexyama is stuffing his takedowns and executing crisp counter strikes. Sexyama takes round 1.

Round 2: Round 2 sees Palhares finally execute a takedown. The submission specialist attempts to pass guard but he can't. He smothers Sexyama for a majority of the round which should tie it up at 1-1.

Round 3: Each fighter is playing it safe in the third round. No takedowns attempted and though Akiyama is attempting to throw some strikes he isn't putting much behind him. Akiyama was the more active fighter in an otherwise boring round and it may be enough to give him the decision.

Yoshihiro Akiyama d. Rousimar Palhares (Unanimous Decision). The fight was rated as being very poor.

Anthony Pettis (12-1) vs George Sotriopolous (14-2)

Round 1: Sotriopolous looks good in round one but he had nothing to show for it for much of the round. Finally he was able to wrestle Pettis down but it was too late into the round for him to be able to do anything with his position. It did give him the round though.

Round 2: Pettis attempts some of his trademark creative strikes but Sotriopolous is too quick and avoids them. He manages two more takedowns but Pettis isn't allowing him to pass guard. Still he is being outpointed.

Round 3: A replay of the first two rounds, except now both guys are gassed. Sotriopolous gains a takedown and the round ends like the other two with George on top but not able to do anything.

George Sotiropolous d. Anthony Pettis (Unanimous Decision) The fight was rated as being very poor.

Chris Lytle (30-17-5) vs Nate Diaz (13-5)

Round 1: What an amazing round! After two boring fights Lytle and Diaz come out banging. Lytle stings Diaz early with a right hook, but Diaz recovers. Lytle then scores a knockdown with a counter punch and goes for a submission. Diaz is able to avoid the sub and then he goes for his own Americana. Lytle is able to avoid the hold but a minute later Diaz locks an armbar in deep. Lytle somehow manages to get out of the hold but it was enough to probably give Diaz round 1.

Round 2: Round 2 is not nearly as exciting as both guys look tired. Diaz puts Lytle against the cage before he takes him down but Lytle is very active off his back and it causes Diaz to allow him to stand. The round ends with Lytle landing some big strikes. It is close but it looks like it is 1-1 so far.

Round 3: At this point both guys are totally gassed. Diaz is trying to push the pace but he doesn't have much left in the tank as is evident by his weak takedown attempts. Still he was the more active fighter and this round should be his.

Chris Lytle d. Nate Diaz (Split Decision) The fight was rated as being decent.

Co-Main Event
Jon Jones (11-1) vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (31-8)

Round 1: Both guys go for takedowns to begin the round but neither man succeeds. Rampage is the aggressor and he walks through some big shots. Rampage manages a huge slam on Jones but he can't finish him. Still it is enough to give Rampage the round.

Round 2: Jones starts the round as the attacker but Rampage is too wily to panic. Instead Rampage counters and then he lands a straight left that sends Jones to the mat! Rampage quickly gets into mount and begins raining down massive blows on a defenseless Jones causing the ref to jump in and stop the fight!

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson d. Jon "Bones" Jones at 2:04 of the 2nd round (TKO - strikes). The fight was rated as being decent.

UFC Heavyweight Title Fight - Main Event
Cain Velasquez (9-0) vs Junior dos Santos (12-1)

Round 1: Cain and JDS trade early. Mostly jabs, no power shots. Cain fakes a left and secures a takedown on JDS. Cain easily passes guard and before JDS knows it Cain is in mount. From there it is elementary as Cain destroys JDS with vicious hammerfists causing the ref to stop the fight!

Cain Velasquez d. Junior dos Santos at 2:39 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) to retain the UFC Heavyweight Title The fight was rated as being great.

UFC 127 Main Card Revealed

In the Main Event, the anticipated Welterweight Title fight between George St. Pierre (21-2) and Jake Shields (26-4-1). For Shields it'll be the biggest fight of his career. For GSP, Shields may be the last person at 170 who has a legitimate chance of dethroning GSP.

The Co-Main Event is a lightweight battle that pits Clay "The Carpenter" Guida (27-11) against Gray "The Bully" Maynard (10-0). For Maynard, a win can legitimize his title shot credentials, while for Guilda it is an opportunity to get back in the title hunt.

In the heavyweight division, it's the new guard vs the old, as Brendan "The Hybrid" Schuab (7-1) takes on Mirko Cro Cop (27-8-2). Cro Cop is looking to rebound after his loss to Frank Mir, while Schuab is looking for the biggest win of his short UFC career.

Two UFC vets in the light heavyweight division collide as Brandon "The Truth" Vera (11-5) takes on Tito Ortiz (15-8-1). This may be Tito's last chance to show he deserves to stay in the UFC so expect him to come out ready for war.

The opener should be an exciting fight as the feathweights as former WEC champion Mike Brown (24-6) takes on Diego "The Gun" Nunes (15-1). The winner is all but certain to have a title shot in their future.

Main Card

Ivan Menjivar (21-7) vs Wagnney Fabiano (14-3)

Round 1: A feeling out round. Neither guy commits to much. Fabiano attempts to clinch but it becomes a mess as neither man gains position but it allows Fabiano the chance to take down Menjivar with a minute left in the round which should give him the round.

Round 2: Both guys come out throwing fists to start the round. Fabiano begins throwing vicious leg kicks that visibly weakens Menjivar. As the round comes to an end both guys are throwing bombs but none are connecting. Fabiano did enough to take the round.

Round 3: Fabiano is going back to the leg kicks and at this point Menjivar can't do much but limp around the cage and go for a KO. Menjivar has nothing left in the tank. Fabiano is trying to finish but he can't. He wins the round and the fight though.

Wagnney "The Silencer" Fabiano d. Ivan "Pride of El Salvador" Menjivar (Unanimous Decision). The fight was rated as being decent.

Dave Branch (8-1) vs Phil Baroni (13-12)

Round 1: Baroni comes into the fight off of a poor camp. Branch seems fresh. Branch is connecting on his strikes while Baroni is catching air. Baroni tries to bully Branch along the cage but Branch smoothly gets away. Later in the round Branch takes Baroni down and gets into side control. He can't lock on his armbar attempt but he wins the round.

Round 2: Baroni is gassed but he stuffs four separate takedown attempts from Branch. Still Branch looks fresh and is continuing to dominant the fight. The round ends with Branch up 2-0.

Round 3: A boring round. Branch gets a couple of takedowns as Baroni is totally spent but Baroni manages to avoid being stopped. The fight ends with Branch passing guard.

Dave Branch d. Phil Baroni (Unanimous Decision). The fight was rated as being poor.

Co-Main Event
Jake Ellenberger (23-5) vs Matt Hughes (45-8)

Round 1: It's an exciting start to the fight as both men trade punches, but Ellenberger lands one flush on Hughes chin knocking him down. Hughes is alert though and it causes Ellenberger to let Hughes stand up. A minute later Hughes shoots and takesdown Ellenberger. He manages to get into full mount but right as he does the time expires. I'll get it to Hughes but its close.

Round 2: Hughes is now smelling blood. He shoots right off the bat and takes down Ellenberger. He once again passes guard and gets side control where he tries an Americana. Ellenberger fights the sub attempt off but Hughes just gets into full mount where he ends the fight with vicious GNP.

Matt Hughes d. Jake Ellenberger at 1:37 of the 2nd round (TKO - Strikes). The fight was rated as being great.

Main Event
Alan Belcher (16-6) vs Chris Leben (24-6)

Round 1: A weak first round that saw Belcher get stuffed on two takedowns. Leben had the better striking and kept pushing the action which easily gives him the round.

Round 2: Belcher is using the counter punch to his advantage this round as he seems to have Leben timed. Belcher moves to the aggressor but it backfires as Leben checks a leg kick and it leaves Belcher wide open to be KO'd with a right cross!

Chris "The Crippler" Leben d. Alan "The Talent" Belcher at 2:27 of round 2 (KO - Right Cross). The fight was rated as being good.

Main Card

Featherweight Division
Mike Brown (24-6) vs Diego "The Guns" Nunes (15-1)

Round 1: Brown and Nunes both show good defense in the first round as neither man can land any solid strikes. With a minute left in the round Brown manages a takedown that should end up giving him the round.

Round 2: The second round is much the same as the first. Brown gets a takedown and is busy working to get into a position for a sub. He tries an armbar but can't cinch it in. Nunes is absolutely smothered. Brown finishes the round on top.

Round 3: A very lackluster round 3 plays out like the previous two. Brown scores another takedown and cinches the fight.

Mike Brown d. Diego Nunes (Unanimous Decision). The fight was rated as being poor.

Light Heavyweight Division
Brandon "The Truth" Vera (11-5) vs Tito Ortiz (15-8-1)

Round 1: The two vets trade shots early, but then it is a defensive fight as both guys stuff each others takedowns. Vera lands some decent blows to end the round and give him the lead.

Round 2: The excitement starts right away as both guys hit big shots. Vera rocks Ortiz but he tries following up his shot with a takedown. Ortiz sprawls and has Vera in a loose front facelock. Tito begins throwing bombs to a prone Vera and sends him down. He gets on top and begins a nasty GNP that forces a stoppage!

Tito Ortiz d. Brandon Vera at 1:29 of the 2nd round (TKO - Strikes). The fight was rated as being good.

Heavyweight Division
Brendan "The Hybrid" Schuab (7-1) vs Mirko Cro Cop (27-8-2)

Round 1: Cro Cop looks like the fighter of old as he is overwhelming Schuab with his striking. He hits Schuab with some vicious leg kicks that have left Schuab injured. He then begins to throw some punches and has Schuab reeling as the round ends.

Round 2: Schuab is leery of being leg kicked and looks tentative. Cro Cop explodes with a barrage of punches that stun Schuab. A right leg kick sends Schuab down and Cro Cop finishes him off with GNP!

Mirko Cro Cop d. Brendan Schuab at 0:58 of the 2nd round (TKO - Strikes) The fight was rated as being decent.

Co-Main Event/Lightweight Division
Gray "The Bully" Maynard (10-0) vs Clay "The Carpenter" Guida (27-11)

Round 1: It's what you'd expect in round 1 as both men try to use their wrestling to their advantage. Its' a slow round that most likely ends up in the favor of Maynard.

Round 2: Guida comes out firing on all cylinders in the second. He stuns Maynard with a flying knee but Maynard stays up. Guida keeps the attack on but Maynard is showing remarkable heart by staying up. The round ends with Guida tying it up.

Round 3: Both guys are gassed in the 3rd round and Maynard uses it to his advantage as he keeps Guida pressed against the cage for much of the round. It isn't pretty but Maynard should take this.

Gray Mayndard d. Clay Guida (Unanimous Decision). The fight was rated as being poor.

Main Event/UFC Welterweight Title Fight
George St. Pierre [c] (21-2) vs Jake Shields (26-4-1)

Round 1: Shields is on the attack to start the fight. He tries four takedowns to no avail, but as the round is ending he throws a barrage of punches that stun GSP enough to execute a takedown and take the round.

Round 2: GSP comes out and goes for a takedown to start the round. He succeeds but ends up stuck in a triangle! The triangle is locked in deep, but GSP is able to get up and absolutely demolish Shields with a vicious powerbomb! Shields is stunned and GSP is right on top of him with huge blows. The ref has no choice to stop the fight! What a finish!

George St. Pierre d. Jake Shields at 1:57 of the 2nd round (TKO - Strikes) to retain the UFC Welterweight Title. The fight was rated as being great.

Main Card

Lightweight Division
"The Young Assassin" Melvin Guillard (26-8-2) vs "The Fireball Kid" Takanori Gomi (32-6)

Round 1: We find out before the fight Guillard was battling an illness during his camp and isn't 100% for this fight. He looks sluggish and that is dangerous vs Gomi. He averts disaster for most of the round but at the end of the round Gomi lands a barrage of punches, then as Guillard retreats Gomi starts to chase him and ends up landing several big body blows to end the round.

Round 2: Gomi attacks Guillard's legs in the second. He is trying to destroy Guillard's will and he is succeeding. Guillard is showing heart as he keeps on battling but his defenses are down and he walks into a straight right that drops him. Gomi hurries to lock on an armbar and it is deep leaving Guillard with no choice but to tap!

Takanori Gomi d. Melvin Guillard at 3:15 of the 2nd round (Submission - Armbar). The fight was rated as being average.

Welterweight Division
"The Natural Born Killer" Carlos Condit (26-5) vs Matt "The Terror" Serra (12-7)

Round 1: Serra wastes no time as he runs right at Condit and catches him flush in the chin! Condit drops to the ground and much like Gomi in the prior fight Serra is quick to lock in an armbar! Condit can't defend it and he has to tap!

Matt Serra d. Carlos Condit at 0:47 of the 1st round (Submission - Armbar). The fight was rated as being good.

Light Heavyweight Division
Ryan "Darth" Bader (12-0) vs Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson (10-1)

Round 1: Gustafsson shows reckless abandon at the start of the fight as he tries to use his striking to slow Bader, except Bader is avoiding all of his strikes. Finally Bader times a takedown and Gustafsson is done for. Bader passes guard with ease and is in full mount. From there it's GNP city and the ref is forced to stop the fight!

Ryan Bader d. Alexander Gustaffson at 4:03 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes). The fight was rated as being great.

Co-Main Event/Middleweight Division
Chael Sonnen (25-11-1) vs Michael "The Count" Bisping (20-3)

Round 1: A slow first round where each guy spends several moments with the other against the cage. Bisping is the more active of the two guys though as he has some decent strikes so the rounds end in favor of Bisping.

Round 2: Bisping and Sonnen go back and forth. Sonnen is not shooting at all. Bisping eventually goes for a trip. Sonnen attempts to lock on a choke but in the process allows the takedown to occur. Bisping passes guard and is in mount where he locks on an armbar and for the third time tonight we have a decision via armbar!

Michael Bisping d. Chael Sonnen at 4:32 of the 2nd round (Submission - Armbar). The fight was rated as being average.

Main Event/Heavyweight Division
Brock Lesnar (5-2) vs Antonio "Minotauro" Rodrigo Nogueira (32-6-1)

Round 1: Brock escaped danger in the middle of the round when Nog had the Muay Thai clinch on Brock but Brock was able to power out and reverse it. He missed a massive knee which would have ended the fight and then Brock decided to give up the clinch. Brock took Nog over to the wall but the round ended before he could get the takedown.

Round 2: A very boring round two. Brock bullied Nog some more and went for the clinch but couldn't succeed. Brock has been handling Nog but Nog is still around. Still it is 2-0 Brock.

Round 3: A gassed Nog attempts to takedown Nog but it is a mistake. He has nothing left and ends up facedown after Brock's sprawl. Brock unloads on a prone Nog causing Nog to turtle and the ref steps in to end it.

Brock Lesnar d. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at 1:41 of the 3rd round (TKO - Strikes). The fight was rated as being decent.

Middleweight Division
Court "The Crusher" McGee (13-1) vs C.B "The Doberman" Dollaway (11-2)

Round 1: The first round was a showcase of each mans wrestling but neither allowed themselves to be taken down. Mcgee showed good poise as he was able to get Dollaway against the fence and he controlled much of the round. Mcgee also landed some very nice strikes that shook up Dollaway.

Round 2: Mcgee is showing his solid striking now. He is using leg kicks to keep Dollaway honest and it is clearly affecting him. Mcgee keeps trying to take Dallaway down but Dallaway is still holding on. Mcgee goes back to his strikes. He stuns C.B with a nice jab but his takedown is stuffed and it allows Dallaway to successfully take Court down. Still it probably isn't enough to win him the round.

Round 3: C.B is pressing Mcgee now but Court is showing good poise and not getting panicked. Dallaway comes in for a takedown but Mcgee has it timed perfectly and he blasts Dallaway with a vicious right cross sending him to the mat. Mcgee quickly gets into position to lock in an armbar and Dallaway is forced to tap!

Court Mcgee d. C.B Dallaway at 1:15 of the 3rd round (Submission - Armbar). The fight was rated as being decent.

Co-Main Event/Heavyweight Division
Roy "Big Country" Nelson (15-5) vs Cheick Kongo (15-6-1)

Round 1: Kongo comes out looking to end the fight early and he nearly succeeds with a big left drops Nelson. Nelson gets into guard before Kongo can mount and Kongo smartly lets Nelson up. Nelson starts to attack but is rocked by a big right counter. He regains his wits and is able to get out of the round in one piece but Kongo clearly has the advantage.

Round 2: Kongo looks again for the kill shot and he rocks Nelson with another right but Big Country refuses to go down! Now Kongo is gassed and his punches are missing their mark. Nelson begins unloading with jabs and straight punches that have Kongo reeling. Kongo throws a wild right that Nelson ducks under and then explodes with a right cross that puts Kongo down. Nelson quickly locks in an armbar and Kongo is done!

Roy Nelson d. Cheick Kongo at 3:04 of the 2nd round (Submission - Armbar). The fight was rated as being great.

Main Event/UFC Featherweight Title Fight
Jose Aldo [c] (18-1) vs Michihiro "Micci" Omigawa (13-8-1)

Round 1: We find out before the fight Omigawa had a bad camp. This may be ugly. Immediately Aldo rocks Omigawa with a vicious leg kick that stuns him. Aldo quickly throws a combination that further injures Omigawa. A body kick sets Aldo up for a right hook that drops Omigawa. Omigawa shakes off the blow though and lays on his back hoping Aldo will go into his guard. Aldo smartly keeps away from upkicks and then with amazing speed dives in with vicious right hand that knocks Omigawa completely out!!

Jose Aldo d. Michihiro "Micci" Omigawa at 2:08 of the 1st round (KO - Punch). The fight was rated as being great.

Main Card

Featherweight Division
Chad "Money" Mendes (9-0) vs Leonard "Bad Boy" Garcia (16-6)

Round 1: Leonard Garcia starts the action with a right that drops Mendes. He then gets on top and starts raining down blows. Mendes still has his wits about him and he tries to lock a guillotine in. Garcia avoids it and then tries to lock in an arm triangle but Mendes avoids it. Mendes is able to lock on a guillotine from the bottom but it isn't in well enough to make Garcia tap. Garcia throws punches but again Mendes goes for a guillotine. The crowd is loving this action! The round ends too close to call.

Round 2: Mendes is able to shoot a takedown to start the round following a few big leg kicks. Mendes is going back to his submission offense but Garcia isn't allowing it. Garcia forces a scramble but cannot get away. He is facedown as Mendes throws some big shots but Garcia is able to finally escape. This round is all Mendes.

Round 3: Both men are tired but they keep coming at each other. Mendes secures another takedown and works into full mount but his elbows aren't enough to end the fight. Mendes attempts an armbar but Garcia won't allow it. Mendes is throwing shots and staying on top. The fight ends and it has to be Mendes.

Chad Mendes d. Leonard Garcia (Unanimous Decision). [Good]

Middleweight Division
Kyle "KO" Noke (19-4-1) vs Demian Maia (14-2)

Round 1: Maia shows off hsi superior wrestling and takes Noke down with ease. He then just as easily passes guard where he tries to lock in a crucifix but it is stopped. Maia easily passes to side control and locks in an armbar and Noke has to tap!

Demian Maia d. Kyle Noke at 3:43 of the 1st round (Submission - Armbar). [Good]

Lightweight Division
Ben "Smooth" Henderson (13-1) vs Cole "Magrinho" Miller (18-4)

Round 1: Henderson showcases his speed advantage early on. He doesn't land much but he has Miller off balance as he keeps mixing up his timing. Henderson clearly wins the round.

Round 2: Miller is stuffing Henderson's takedowns but Henderson is responding with leg kicks that are clearly hampering Miller. Henderson once again wins an uneventful round.

Round 3: Another uneventful round. Miller did his part to push the action but Henderson is too quick and easily counters much of his attacks and wins the round and the fight.

Ben Henderson d. Cole Miller (Unanimous Decision). [Awful]

Co-Main Event/Heavyweight Division
"Big" Ben Rothwell (32-7) vs Shane Carwin (12-1)

Round 1: Carwin and Rothwell trade early but thankfully for both guys the other misses their kill shots. Carwin decides to take it to the ground where he starts a GNP but Rothwell is able to withstand the barrage. Rather then risk gassing like he did vs Brock, Carwin goes to side control where he hits Rothwell with a vicious knee to the ribs. The round ends with Carwin in control.

Round 2: Both guys are toe to toe but the big strikes are missing. Rothwell gets cute and tries a kick but Carwin catches it and easily takes him down. Carwin quickly ends up in full mount and pounds Rothwell out.

Shane Carwin d. Ben Rothwell at 3:09 of the 2nd round (TKO - Strikes). [Decent]

Main Event/Light Heavyweight Title Fight
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (19-4) vs "Sugar" Rashad Evans (15-1-1)

Round 1: We find out coming into the fight that Shogun was not mentally ready for this fight. Sadly it shows as Rashad bullies Shogun to the cage and takes him down. He then locks in a crucifix and begins delivering massive elbows that bust Shogun open and the ref has to stop the fight!

Rashad Evans d. Shogun Rua at 1:37 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) to win the UFC Light Heavyweight Title. [Good]

Lightweight Division
Kurt "Batman" Pellegrino (16-5) vs Ross "The Real Deal" Pearson (11-4)

Round 1: Pearson starts the fight with a flying knee but Pellegrino doesn't go down. Pearson dominates the first half of the round, but Pellegrino starts to land some strikes and he is able to mount a comeback. Pearson ends up with a few strikes to finish the round however.

Round 2: Pellegrino gets back to his strengths as he takes Pearson down and passes guard. He locks in a nasty armbar that is hyperextending Pearson's arm but Pearson won't quit. He finally pops his arm free miraculously. A scramble ensues but Pellegrino doesn't give up position. The round ends with Pellegrino attempting a choke.

Round 3: Pellegrino and Pearson have a nice trade in the center of the octagon but Pellegrino dives in for a single leg. Pearson can't help but tumble back but he stays calm. Pellegrino tries several submissions but can't lock anything in and they finally stand. They trade blows for the last minute of the round but the last 10 seconds see Pellegrino stun Pearson. The bell saves Pearson but Pellegrino takes the round.

Kurt Pellegrino d. Ross Pearson (Unanimous Decision) [Good]

Middleweight Division
Nick "The Promise" Ring (11-0) vs Maiquel "Big Rig" Falcao (26-3)

Round 1: Falcao starts off with some jabs and then moves into some vicious leg kicks that keep Ring at bay. Falcao tries a takedown but is stuffed so he goes back to his leg kicks and jabs. Finally Ring is forced against the cage and Falcao easily takes him down. He can't take advantage though but he does win the round.

Round 2: It's pure striking this round but Falcao just out classes Ring. He is too fast for Ring who keeps missing and can't avoid the strikes of Falaco. Falaco is content with doing this all round and he takes it.

Round 3: It's all Falaco again. Not much more to say. He wins the striking battle and ends up with another takedown. That is all you need to know.

Maiquel Falcao d. Nick Ring (Unanimous Decision) [Decent]

Co-Main Event/Welterweight Division
Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez (22-4) vs Anthony "Rumble" Johnson (8-3)

Round 1: Sanchez is pushing the pace early, attempting several takedowns, but none of them can bring Rumble down. Diego decides to start banging with Johnson which proves to be a bold strategy. Rumble is quick and isn't getting hit. Then with 15 seconds in the round Rumble is able to rock Diego and but the time expires before he can finish him off. Still , it's enough to win the round for Rumble.

Round 2: It's a tale of two rounds as Rumble continues his momentum from the end of the 1st. He lands a big right after Diego misses a jab and Diego goes down but he is able to pull guard. Rumble won't follow him to the ground so Diego gets up. The knockdown seems to have motivated Diego and he starts to drive Rumble to the fence. He keeps him there for a minute before driving him down. Diego is all over him on the ground but the round ends and we're tied.

Round 3: Diego knows he has Rumble now and he comes out of his corner with a takedown that scores. In half guard now, Diego locks on an Americana and Rumble has nowhere to go. He finally taps!

Diego Sanchez d. Anthony Johnson at 1:18 of the 3rd round (Submission - Americana) [Great]

Main Event/Heavyweight Division
Junior "Cigano" dos Santos (12-2) vs Sean McCorkle (11-1)

Round 1: McCorkle knows his only shot is to out wrestle JDS and that is exactly what he does. He goes for a few takedowns but can't score them but JDS is off balance. He throws a leg kick at McCorkle but it's caught and McCorkle takes him down. McCorkle finishes the round on top.

Round 2: A very boring 2nd round that saw another JDS leg kick turned into a takedown. McCorkle tried to get JDS's back all round but JDS was able to block it. Still McCorkle was once again the winner of a very, very boring round.

Round 3: It's yet another boring round. McCorkle gets JDS up against the cage and keeps him there. JDS looks awful tonight. McCorkle is content with keeping JDS up against the fence and mercifully they are separated but they go right back. The fight ends with McCorkle ahead.

Sean McCorkle d. Junior dos Santos (Unanimous Decision) [Very poor]

UFC 130 Main Card Lineup

- The main event is a UFC Lightweight Title fight, as Frankie "The Answer" Edgar (13-1) defends his belt for George Sotriopoulos (15-2). Sotriopoulos may be an odd choice to get the shot at Edgar, but he is on a 9 fight win streak and promises to put on a show.

- In the Co-Main Event, Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida (16-2) looks to snap his two fight losing streak when he faces Forrest Griffin (17-6). Griffin knows how much is riding on the line in this fight as a win could put him in contention for a title shot.

- It'll be a battle of heavyweight bangers as Matt "The Meathead" Mitrione (4-0) looks to continue his winning ways against Travis Browne (10-1-1). Expect someone to get knocked out.

- A big bantamweight fight will also be featured on the PPV broadcast, as Miguel Angel Torres (38-3) takes on Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto (18-3). Torres is one of the biggest names in the division and now he has a chance to prove his worth.

- In the opener, it's a welterweight battle between John "The Hitman" Hathaway (14-1) and Martin Kampmann (17-4). Expect a fun opener when these two step into the octagon.

Main Card

Welterweight Division
John "The Hitman" Hathaway (14-1) vs Martin Kampmann (17-4)

Round 1: Kampmann stuns Hathaway with a vicious body shot and then comes in with a big barrage of punches that drops Hathaway. Kampmann goes for the GNP but Hathaway pulls guard. They fight on the ground before Hathaway gets top control and decides to stand up. The round ends in favor of Kampmann.

Round 2: Kampmann once again stuns Hathaway in the middle part of the round. He goes on the attack but Hathaway is able to once again defend himself. Kampmann is now gassing out but Hathaway isn't pushing the action for fear of being KO'd. The round ends once again in favor of Kampmann.

Round 3: Hathaway's corner tells him to come out swinging and he obliges. He finally connects with Kampmann and stuns him but Kampmann avoids getting KO'd. Kampmann wisely begins backing up and starts firing big leg kicks that take a toll on Hathaway. Hathaway now has nothing left in him and the round ends.

Martin Kampmann d. John Hathaway (Unanimous Decision) [Average]

Bantamweight Division
Miguel Angel Torres (38-3) vs Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto (18-3)

Round 1: It's a great round one as Kid comes in with a spinning backfist that misses and he eats big punches as a result. Torres is able to shoot a takedown and Kid is against the cage. Torres works to a guillotine and locks it on but Yamamoto won't tap. Torres arms begin to gas so he finally gives gives up the hold. The round ends with Torres most likely up.

Round 2: The second round sees much of the same. Solid action all around. Torres goes for the takedown but Kid is too stout and won't allow it. Kid is using dirty boxing against the fence to keep Torres honest. Kid's defense is probably enough to give him the round.

Round 3: As the round is coming to an end Torres begins fighting with the sense he may lose a decision so he pushes Kid against the fence. Kid is set on letting the round in with him against the fense, but Torres makes one last desperation attempt at a standing guillotine and Kid isn't ready for it. It's in deep and he has to tap with 4 seconds left!

Miguel Angel Torres d. Kid Yamamoto at 4:56 of the 3rd round (Submission - Standing Guillotine) [Good]

Heavyweight Division
Matt "Meathead" Mitrione (4-0) vs Travis Browne (10-1-1)

Round 1: The crowd is eating this fight up early as both guys are standing in and trading blows. Mitrione is landing the more powerful punches but Browne has the edge in volume landed. A wild exchange ends the round and the crowd is going nuts!

Round 2: The second round slows down as Browne won't let Mitrione in the pocket to strike. Mitrione is eating tons of leg kicks but it isn't seeming to slow him down. He stalks Browne most of the round but it costs him as Browne is able to steal the round.

Round 3: And now we have a war! Mitrione and Browne come face to face and start throwing bombs. Twice Mitrione connects on big shots that drop Browne but he can't finish him and rather then stay on the floor he motions for Browne to get up. The guys keep trading and Browne lands a big jab that stuns Mitrione near the end of the fight but can't follow it up. We go to a decision remarkably, but it was a damn fun fight.

Matt Mitrione d. Travis Browne (Split Decision) [Great]

Co-Main Event/Light Heavyweight Division
Forrest Griffin (17-6) vs Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida (16-2)

Round 1: Both guys work against the cage during the round reversing their position several times. Finally the ref comes in and breaks it up. Forrest tries to attack Machida but Machida hits a flurry of punches and stun Griffin. He can't get him down though but it should win him the round.

Round 2: The second round is all Machida as he dominants Griffin. He knocks him down with a big right and is able to land some GNP but Forrest manages to avoid the stoppage. A scramble ensues and both men end up on their feet. Machida continues to counter Griffin's strikes and begins using leg kicks that slow him down. Another round for Machida.

Round 3: It's a boring round 3. Machida continues the same game plan and nothing Forrest does works. Finally a boring fight comes to an end with another Machida round in the books.

Lyoto Machida d. Forrest Griffin (Unanimous Decision) [Poor]

Main Event/UFC Lightweight Title Fight
Frankie "The Answer" Edgar [c] (13-1) vs George Sotiropoulos (15-2)

Round 1: It's a round you'd expect out of two grapplers. Frankie looked to impose his will but Sotiropoulos isn't giving an inch. It's a relatively exciting round considering the lack of strikes. Most likely 1-0 Edgar.

Round 2: A boring round. Sotiropoulos goes for takedowns and can't connect. Edgar is landing crisp counter strikes and just letting George gas. Edgar wins the round.

Round 3: Another Edgar round, and it's yet again boring. Just nothing happening anymore. Both guys seem tired from all the takedown attempts.

Round 4: Yet again, a slow paced round that sees failed takedown attempt after failed takedown attempt. Edgar takes it to go up 4-0.

Round 5: There is a little more excitement this round as Edgar goes for some submissions but George is too good to allow them to happen. Edgar wins the round and the fight. Thank god it is over.

Frankie Edgar d. George Sotiropoulos (Unanimous Decision) to retain the UFC Lightweight Title [Very Poor]

UFC 131 Main Card Revealed

- The Main Event is a welterweight clash between two of the divisions most recognizable figures collide. It'll be "The Prodigy" B.J Penn (16-7-1) taking on Josh Koscheck (15-5). For Penn, a win can get him right near the top of the division, while for Koscheck a win can stop a losing streak from starting.

- A potential candidate for Fight of the Year will be the Co-Main Event, as Wandereli "The Ax Murderer" Silva (33-10-1) will go one on one with Chris "The Crippler" Leben (25-6). If this one goes the distance it won't be for the lack of trying to kill one another.

- Phil Davis (9-0) made a name for himself after his dominating performance vs Jason Brilz, and now he looks to move into the divisions elite as he takes on Matt "The Hammer" Hamil (10-2)l. A bright future is in store for the winner of this fight.

- It'll be another welterweight battle as Chris "Lights Out" Lytle (31-17-5) takes on Dong "Stun Gun" Hyun Kim (13-0-1). Lytle took a split decision from Nate Diaz at UFC 126, and now he looks for a more convincing win vs Kim.

- In our opener we will see a battle of lightweights as Dennis Siver (17-7) goes one on one with Chris Horodecki (16-2).

Main Card

Lightweight Division
Dennis Siver (17-7) vs Chris "The Polish Hammer" Horodecki (16-2)

Round 1: Siver is the more impressive fighter in round 1. He is going for takedowns, he is throwing better punches and he has Horodecki on his heels. Near the end of the round Siver punctuates his win of the round with a big takedown.

Round 2: A fun round. Horodecki is waiting out the takedowns now. Siver shoots and eats a right hook for his troubles which stuns him. Siver goes right back for the takedown and his knocked down with another big right but Siver pulls half guard before Horodecki can do much. Both men stand and they throw fists. Siver manages to get a takedown but it isn't enough to win him the round.

Round 3: The third round is not up to par as both guys are gassed. They both put in the effort but the punches have nothing on them and the takedowns are useless. Horodecki is the more active of the two and landed more shots and should get the decision.

Chris Horodecki d. Dennis Siver (Split Decision) [Average]

Welterweight Division
Chris "Lights Out" Lytle (31-17-5) vs Dong "Stun Gun" Hyun Kim (13-0-1)

Round 1: Lytle is bringing the fight to Kim right from the bell. Kim attempts some unique offense like a spinning backfist but he misses and ends up tagged by Lytle who drops him. Lytle locks in a guillotine but Kim won't tap and Lytle finally has to give it up. Still he easily wins the round.

Round 2: Lytle once again dominates the round. He takes Kim down and manages an armbar that is in very securely but Kim pops out of it remarkably. Lytle keeps pounding on Kim and goes back to the armbar, once again applying it in deeply but the round ends saving Kim. May have been a 10-8 round.

Round 3: Lytle takes down Kim again and Kim is just gassed. Lytle passes to side control easily and locks on an arm triangle. This time Kim has absolutely nowhere to go and he is forced to tap!

Chris Lytle d. Dong Hyung Kim at 4:26 of the 3rd round (Submission - Arm Triangle) [Decent]

Light Heavyweight Division
"Mr. Wonderful" Phil Davis (9-0) vs Matt "The Hammer" Hamill (10-2)

Round 1: Davis and Hamill begin throwing punches early with Davis getting the advantage. He rocks Hamill with a big right and Hamill stumbles against the cage. Davis keeps throwing bombs and Hamill drops to the ground and the ref steps in!

Phil Davis d. Matt Hamill at 0:50 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) [Good]

Co-Main Event/Middleweight Division
Chris "The Crippler" Leben (25-6) vs Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva (33-10-1)

Round 1: Surprisingly the first round is fairly boring. Both guys are throwing but it's more jabs then anything and not much is landing. It's hard to find a winner out of this round.

Round 2: Leben's corner tells him to finish this round. Wand comes out and throws a weak leg kick which Leben counters with a huge right followed by more rights. Wand is stunned. Wand collapses down a bloody mess and Leben keeps throwing more shots until the ref finally steps in!

Chris Leben d. Wandereli Silva at 0:25 of the 2nd round (TKO - Strikes) [Poor]

Main Event/Welterweight Division
"The Prodigy" B.J Penn (16-7-1) vs Josh Koscheck (15-5)

Round 1: A very exciting fight from the get go. Both guys throw punches and then Penn explodes for a takedown following a nice 1-2. He gets Koscheck down and passes guard. Penn is able to get behind Koscheck and roll him up enough to slip both hooks in! Penn has a rear naked choke in deep but Koscheck is able to survive over 20 seconds until the round ends.

Round 2: Another fun round. Koscheck rocks Penn against the cage but Penn quickly comes to and ends up locking in a deep standing guillotine but once again he cannot finish Koscheck! He does get Koscheck down but Koscheck actually manages to sweep BJ and fires off some nice punches before standing up. Koscheck lands a few more nice shots as the round ends.

Round 3: A very slow 3rd round. Both guys are gassed. Koscheck has Penn pinned up against the cage for much of the round but Penn begins to throw some punches and ends up taking Koscheck down. He tries another sub but Koscheck doesn't allow it. The fight ends with Penn on top. It should be 2-1 Penn.

Josh Koscheck d. B.J Penn (Split Decision) [Decent]

UFC 132 Main Card Revealed

- UFC 131 comes to us live from Las Vegas, and will feature a UFC Welterweight Title fight at the top of the card as Georges "Rush" St. Pierre (22-2) defends his title vs Jon Fitch (23-3). GSP is close to having wiped out his entire division, but Fitch is ready for one last shot at at the champion.

- In our Co-Main Event it is a heavyweight battle as Brock Lesnar (6-2) takes on Stefan "The Skyscraper" Struve (21-4). While on paper this looks like it could be very, very ugly for Struve, a win would catapult his UFC career, while a win for Brock puts him one step closer to a fight with the champ.

- Jonny "Bones" Jones (11-2) suffered a one sided defeat to Rampage Jackson at UFC 126 that put his career off track just a bit. Now he looks to get back to his winning ways when he faces Antonio Rogeiro Nogueira (19-4). Expect a fun fight when these two take to the octagon.

- A battle for lightweight recognition will also be featured as Kenny "KenFlo" Florian (14-5) looks to keep on the winning track vs the red hot Jim Miller (19-2). For Miller a win may be what it takes to put him in the divisions elite, while a win for Florian would keep him there.

- And in our opener it will be two grizzled light heavyweights battling it out as "The Janitor" Vladimir Matyushenko (25-5) takes on Rich "Ace" Franklin (28-5). When these two wily vets get into the octagon anything can happen.

Ha, yep. Jones losing to Rampage hurt so I had to get him back asap. My HW division is fairly weak right now so I wanted to get Brock built back up as soon as possible.

Sadly my write up was just lost so I will have to just do simple results for this card. Kinda sucks too since it was pretty crazy.

- In the Jon Jones/Lil' Nog fight, Jones showed his inexperience as he shot on Nog right away and took him down. Nog just let him come into his guard and when Jones couldn't get to mount Nog locked in the choke. Jones literally had nowhere to go and was forced to tap. Just bad game planning on his part.

- Brock vs Struve was literally as expected. He took him down, got into mount and gorilla punched him to death.

- The Main Event was 3-0 GSP going into the 4th. Each round was the same. He'd take down Fitch, work for a choke and not get it. Then going into the 4th GSP's corner said to knock him out. GSP went for a spinning back fist and got taken down. Fitch perfectly timed an elbow that stunned GSP and then he pounded him out. Stupid decision by GSP cost him.

Great dynasty, it's pushing me towards a purchase.

How is the reallife mod working out balance and gameplay wise (I don't care too much about stat realism because I'm a casual fan and wouldn't know the difference.)

And if you ever start a women's division, you should bring in that "Cuddles" broad that always gets beat up in Strikeforce. I'm a big fan.

So far I am digging the real life mod. The mod maker said he will keep it up to date and still isn't totally done. There are some flaws I had to fix (certain guys walking weights were too high so they were missing too many weigh ins) but honestly it feels right when I play.

I really cannot recommend this game enough. I find myself immersed more then ever with the WMMA series which was a big issue with the first version, and not as big an issue with the second, but still somewhat of a problem.

UFC on Versus: Cane vs Silva Lineup Announced

- In the Main Event of the next edition of UFC on Versus, two Brazilian Light Heavyweights collide as Luis Cane (11-3) takes on Thiago Silva (15-2). For Silva, who currently sits 4th in the division a win over the 11th ranked Cane would put him in the discussion for a title shot. For Cane, a win will help him start a win streak that could lead to a title shot down the line.

- Our Co-Main Event takes place in the Heavyweight Division where two guys desperately in need of a win will face off as it'll be Brendan "The Hybrid" Schuab (7-2) facing Cheick Kongo (15-7-2). The loser of this fight will face a long climb to respectability while the winner will get back on track.

- Also on our live show is a middleweight title that should be exciting as hell. It'll be Jorge "El Conquistador" Rivera (19-7) taking on Yushin "Thunder" Okami (26-5). Okami has been looking great as of late, and was itching to get another fight under his belt as soon as possible. Now he has the chance to take out a respected opponent in Rivera and earn a possible title shot.

- In the opener it is TUF 12 winner Jonathan Brookins (12-3) making his first fight since winning the Finale, where he will face off against the grizzled vet and Thugjitsu practitioner Yves Edwards (40-16-1)! A win vs the cagey vet would go a long way for Brookins career.

Jonathan Brookins (12-3) vs Yves Edwards (40-16-1)

Round 1: Brookins looks good early as he is showing quick feet and never lets Edwards gets comfortable. His first takedown is stuffed, but he throws a couple fists and then quickly follows up with a takedown. He manages to get Edwards back but the bell rings before he can lock in a choke.

Round 2: Brookins eats some big shots but he is able once again get Edwards down. Edwards tries to sweep Brookins but he can't. Brookins once again gets Edwards back and gets his hooks in and then applies a choke. It is in deep but the bell rings and Edwards is saved by the round!

Round 3: Brookins and Edwards come together and throw strikes. Brookins is too quick for Edwards though and is avoiding the big shots and just destroying Edwards with leg kicks. Brookins manages a knockdown from his leg kicks but the round ends before anything comes of it.

Jorge "El Conquistador" Rivera (19-7) vs Yushin "Thunder" Okami (26-5)

Round 1: It's a slow round one that is more of a feeling out process then anything. Okami takes the round based on the most solid shots landed but it is a snore.

Round 2: Okami dominates the stand up again, stinging Rivera with fists that are taking their roll on Rivera. Rivera is just obviously gassed and Okami is still going strong but hasn't been able to finish.

Round 3: Rivera is just avoiding getting stopped now. He is avoiding shots but not throwing. Mercifully the fight is over.

Yushin Okami d. Jorge Rivera (Unanimous Decision) [Very Poor]

Brendan "The Hybrid" Schuab (7-2) vs Cheick Kongo (15-7-2)

Round 1: They go back and forth with each guy missing big shots but each guy lands some solid blows. Twice they end up in a clinch but Kongo can't make Schuab pay. The round ends with Kongo landing a big flurry that probably steals him the round.

Round 2: Another fun round where the guys are trading blows. Kongo looks as good as he has in a long time. Kongo is throwing big shots and they are taking a toll on Schuab but Schuab answers with some solid shots himself. The round ends with a flurry from both men but Kongo may have won the second as well.

Round 3: It's a fun third round. It isn't spectacular but it is damn fun. Schuab rocks Kongo to start the round but can't finish him. Kongo manages to come back and not only survives being KO'd but fights his ass off. The round ends with Schuab on top.

Cheick Kongo d. Brendan Schuab (Unanimous Decision) [Decent]

Main Card

Light Heavyweight Division
"The American Psycho" Stephen Bonnar (13-8) vs "The Iceman" Chuck Liddell (21-8)

Round 1: It's a solid first round as both guys are just going toe to toe in the center of the cage. Bonnar goes for a takedown but Chuck sprawls and Bonnar ends up face down in a precarious position. Chuck takes advantage by throwing a huge bomb that stuns Bonnar but Bonnar is able to avoid any further damage.

Round 2: Once again both guys are toe to toe throwing punches but the big stuff just isn't landing. Bonnar decides to shoot again and ends up getting sprawled again. This time Chuck is able to throw multiple rights and Bonnar cannot defend himself! It's over!

Chuck Liddell d. Stephan Bonnar at 2:25 of the 2nd round (TKO - Strikes) [Good]

Middleweight Division
Maiquel Falcao (27-3) vs Yoshiro Akiyama (14-3)

Round 1: Falcao is pushing the pace in round 1, but Sexyama is just dancing around. He doesn't get hit much but he almost does zero striking of his own. Falcao wins a boring round 1.

Round 2: More boring fighting. Falcao takes another god awful round.

Round 3: Akiyama scores a takedown but not much happens with it. Round ends with him on top, but he will lose this disaster.

Maiquel Falcao d. Yoshiro Akiyama (Unanimous Decision) [Awful]

Lightweight Division
Clay Guida (27-12) vs Sean Sherk (33-5-1)

Round 1: Well damn. Guida comes right out with a flying knee that rocks Sherk and then he comes back with a huge spinning backfist. Guida can't take down Sherk but Sherk is hurt. Sherk tries to take down Guida and Guida counters with a choke but Sherk keeps moving his feet and takes Guida down! He collects himself then passes guard and gets to mount. He begins throwing huge bombs and before you know it the ref is stopping the fight! What a momentum swing!

Sean Sherk d. Clay Guida at 4:13 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) [Good]

Co-Main Event/Light Heavyweight Division
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (32-8) vs Ryan Bader (13-0)

Round 1: Rampage comes out and goes right after Bader. Bader shoots in but Rampage sprawls. They keep circling and Bader shoots again. Another sprawl but this time Rampage picks him up and slams him down hard! Bader manages to keep guard though but Rampage passes and takes his back attempting a choke. Bader doesn't allow it to happen but Rampage wins the round.

Round 2: Bader tries to take Rampage down but once again he cannot do it. Bader is frustrated. Rampage decides to attack and throws a flurry of punches and follows them up with a takedown. He rocks Bader with some vicious shots but he isn't in mount. Bader is hurt and Rampage easily passes guard and gets into full mount. From there it's elementary as he pounds Bader out!

Rampage Jackson d. Ryan Bader at 4:44 of the 2nd round (TKO - Strikes) [Good]

Main Event
Anderson "The Spider" Silva [c] (28-4) vs Michael "The Count" Bisping (21-3)

Round 1: Its a slow first round. Bisping is actually able to take Anderson down after timing a kick but he can't pass guard and almost falls victim to an armbar. The round ends with Bisping on top and he steals it.

Round 2: It's another slow round. Bisping's plan of keeping out of range of big strikes and taking it to the mat it is working so far but Silva times a takedown and rocks Bisping. Bisping smartly retreats and spends the rest of the round trying to avoid getting hit. It's 1-1.

Round 3: Anderson rocks Bisping again on another takedown attempt but it's still a very slow round. Anderson eventually knocks Bisping down with a huge shot and gets into guard but he can't pass it. Bisping successfully sweeps but the round ends. Very poor Main Event.

Anderson Silva d. Michael Bisping (Unanimous Decision [Poor]

Main Card

Lightweight Division
Anthony "Showtime" Pettis (12-2) vs Spencer "The King" Fisher (24-6)

Round 1: Pettis shows off his striking as he twice rocks Fisher. He wants to take the fight to the ground after the second big right but Fisher is still able to stuff the takedown. Still Pettis is easily the better fighter this round.

Round 2: Pettis is again dominating the round. He hits another big strike and opens a cut over Fishers eye. He moves Fisher over to the fence and shoots a takedown. He gets mount as the round is coming to an end but manages to land a few big shots. The bell saves Fisher.

Round 3: Pettis comes out looking to end the fight but Fisher ends up rocking him with a big flurry! Fisher smells blood but Pettis is able to cover up. Fisher keeps the pressure and tries grapping. Pettis remarkably picks Fisher up and slams him down! Fisher keeps him in guard though but it is a dramatic display as the fight ends.

Anthony Pettis d. Spencer Fisher (Unanimous Decision) [Good]

Welterweight Division
"The Natural Born Killer" Carlos Condit (26-6) vs Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis (17-7)

Round 1: The round gets into gear around the 3 minute market following an inadvertent low blow on Davis. Davis is landing more shots but Condit isn't panicking. He moves Davis to the cage and takes him down and locks on an Americana but the round ends saving Davis.

Round 2: A decent round though not memorable in the least. Condit has a nice trip but is forced to avoid a kimrua attempt by Davis and it allows Davis to get up. Still Condit is winning the fight.

Round 3: Condit is able to take Davis down. Davis is gassed from a rough cut. Condit gets into position and locks a armbar in tight. Davis has no choice, he has to tap!

Carlos Condit d. Marcus Davis at 2:17 of the 3rd round (Submission - Armbar) [Decent]

Co-Main Event/Heavyweight Division
Roy "Big Country" Nelson (16-5) vs Frank Mir (15-5)

Round 1: A very slow round. Mir gets a takedown and is trying to pass guard but Nelson won't allow it. On the flipside Nelson is trying to sweep Mir but Mir won't let that happen. The round ends with Mir on top.

Round 2: The fans are getting into the fight now as both guys are somewhat tired after a whole round on the ground. Both guys stand in the pocket and just throw punches for much of the round. Nelson is counter striking well but Mir lands a couple of big blows. I'd give it to Nelson but it's too close to say.

Round 3: Mir comes out and both guys circle. Then out of nowhere Mir dives at Nelson and is able to lock in a flying heel hook! Nelson is stunned and before he knows it he is tapping out!

Frank Mir d. Roy Nelson at 0:41 of the 3rd round (Submission - Flying Heel Hook) [Decent]

Main Event/Featherweight Title Fight
Jose Aldo [c] (19-1) vs Mike Brown (25-6)

Round 1: Brown wins the first round after a nice takedown. Aldo uses his butterfly guard twice to stymie Brown who has to retreat but he is controlling the pace through the first round.

Round 2: Aldo is controlling round 2 until Brown hits a counter right that stuns Aldo. Aldo trips and goes down. Brown quickly puts an armbar in but Aldo is able to get out of it and scramble to his feet. Aldo is able to throw some shots that may have salvaged the round for him but I have it 2-0 Brown.

Round 3: Aldo hits a big spinning backfist that rocks Brown but he misses a right that would have ended the fight. Brown is able to regain his wits. Brown comes in with a barrage of punches and shoots a takedown. He scores and smothers Aldo for the last minute of the round. It is 3-0 Brown in my opinion.

Round 4: Brown comes out and throws a jab. Out of nowhere Aldo throws an insanely fast high leg kick that hits Brown right in the temple and knocks him out cold!!

Jose Aldo d. Mike Brown at 0:27 of the 4th round (KO - Headkick) to retain the UFC Featherweight Title [Good]

"Big" Ben Rothwell (32-8) vs Junior dos Santos (12-3)

Round 1: Rothwell comes in with his jab, keeping JDS at bay but JDS gets into the pocket and throws some shots that miss. Rothwell starts to throw his own big shots and one catches JDS flush knocking him down. He stands over JDS and rocks him with another big shot. He sees JDS is hurt so he gets into mount and pounds JDS out!

Lightweight Division
Gray "The Bully" Maynard (11-0) vs "The Fireball Kid" Takanori Gomi (33-6)

Round 1: Maynard is able to take Gomi down but struggles to gain mount for much of the round. Finally as the round is about to expire Maynard gets full mount but the bell rings before he can even throw one punch.

Round 2: Gomi is able to rock Maynard with a flying knee but he can't do enough to follow it up. He throws a leg kick which Maynard catches and takes him down with. Maynard gets into full mount but can't finish Gomi so he gives up mount is slyly takes Gomi's back where he attempts a rear naked choke with both hooks in. Gomi fights it off but Maynard wins the round.

Round 3: It's a decent round that is highlighted by Gomi landing a big right that knocks Maynard down. Gomi tries like hell to finish the fight but he cannot do it. Maynard is able to get a takedown later in the round but he can't finish it either. Gomi takes the round but it has to be Maynard.

Gray Maynard d. Takanori Gomi (Unanimous Decision) [Average]

Middleweight Division
Chael Sonnen (25-12-1) vs Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort (19-11)

Round 1: Sonnen takes Belfort down early and tries to get into mount but Belfort sweeps him and locks in armbar. Sonnen won't quit and is able to free himself but Belfort has side control. He collects himself then goes back to the armbar and this time Sonnen has nowhere to go and is forced to tap!

Vitor Belfort d. Chael Sonnen at 4:20 of the 1st round (Submission - Armbar) [Decent]

Co-Main Event/Heavyweight Division
Shane Carwin (13-1) vs Antonio "Minotauro" Rodrigo Nogueira (32-7-1)

Round 1: Carwin comes out swinging for the fences but he gets himself off balance and Nog is able to take him down. Carwin pulls guard but Nog's BJJ is simply too strong and he easily takes side control. Nog waits a moment and then gets himself into a position to lock on an Arm Triangle. Carwin has nowhere to go and he taps!

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira d. Shane Carwin at 2:46 of the 1st round (Submission - Arm Triangle) [Great]

Main Event/UFC Bantamweight Title Fight
"The California Kid" Urijah Faber [c] (25-4) vs Brian Bowles (9-1)

Round 1: Faber takes Bowles down right away and is trying for mount but Bowles won't let it happen. Still Faber is on top nearly the entire five minutes and easily takes round 1.

Round 2: Faber is rocked early in the round by a big right but quickly gets the takedown. He gets lazy and almost falls victim to a guillotine. Faber is frustrated because he cannot pass guard. The round ends too close to call.

Round 3: Faber scores another takedown, this one against the cage, but he lets Bowles up rather then to gas himself out. They trade blows the last minute of the round but nothing comes of it.

Round 4: Bowles corner advises him to go for the kill this round. He obliges as he knocks Faber down with a stiff right and goes to follow it up with an armbar but Faber is able to get out of danger. Bowles lets him up and engages again. This time a right cross hits Faber flush and we have a new champion!

Main Card

Middleweight Division
Court "The Crusher" Mcgee (14-1) vs Nate "The Great" Marquardt (30-10-2)

Round 1: Mcgee gets the live show off hot when he executes a big Greco-Roman slam. His attempt at an armbar is thwarted but he gets Marquardt's back and tries a rear naked choke. Marquardt avoids it and then luckily the round ends.

Round 2: Marquardt handles the pace this round. Mcgee attempts a few takedowns but can't find his mark on them. Marquardt is throwing nice punches and working Mcgee over. The round ends and we're tied.

Round 3: It's a slow round as both guys had a bad cut and seem drained. Mcgee was hitting stronger strikes but Marquardt may have had the edge volume wise. The judges will have their hands full here.

Nate Marquardt d. Court Mcgee (Split Decision) [Average]

Featherweight Division
Chad "Money" Mendes (10-0) vs Manny "The Pitbull" Gamburyan (11-5)

Round 1: A slow round but Mendes takes the round as he is able to hold Manny against the cage and dirty box him.

Round 2: Manny takes a boring round two after securing a takedown and then dominating from on top.

Round 3: Mendes is taken down but he is able to sweep and get on top. It'll be close, but this was a boring fight.

Chad Mendes d. Manny Gamburyan (Split Decision) [Very Poor]

Welterweight Division
Nate Diaz (13-6) vs Matt "The Terror" Serra (13-7)

Round 1: Exciting first round mat action. Lot's of reversals and submission attempts. Both guys worked hard. Too close to call.

Round 2: Yawn. Not a good start to the live show. Diaz gets a takedown but eventually they are stood up. Diaz takes the round.

Round 3: They come out swinging and the fight is being salvaged. Neither guy has an advantage but at the end of the round Serra drops Diaz with a big right. He tries to finish Diaz but he cannot do it. Still Serra just stole the fight with that knockdown.

Matt Serra d. Nate Diaz (Unanimous Decision) [Decent]

Co-Main Event/Light Heavyweight Division
Randy "The Natural" Couture (19-10) vs Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida (17-2)

Round 1: Couture is trying to take the fight down to the ground but Machida is too quick. Machida eventually times a takedown and tags Couture but Couture is able to complete the takedown. He is incredibly woozy though and Machida easily scrambles. The round ends with a flurry from Machida.

Round 2: Couture takes Machida down and spends most of the round on top trying to get into full mount. It's a boring round as Randy spends nearly 4 minutes on top but he does tie it up.

Round 3: Machida tags Couture again this round but again Randy is able to complete a takedown. Machida is the more active fighter even off of his back and finally he is able to get loose. Both men trade blows to end the fight but Machida should have it.

Lyoto Machida d. Randy Couture (Unanimous Decision) [Average]

Main Event/UFC Lightweight Title Fight
Frankie "The Answer" Edgar [c] (14-1) vs Ben "Smooth" Henderson (14-1)

Round 1: A solid first round. Henderson has the biggest highlight when he locks on a standing guillotine that he uses to bring Edgar down but he can't finish the fight.

Round 2: A boring ass round. What a bad card. Edgar gets a takedown and takes the round with it as he is more active on top.

Round 3: Edgar again with a takedown and he eventually he takes the back of Henderson but he cannot choke Henderson out. He tries twice but finally the round ends.

Round 4: Replay? Edgar takedown. Check. Edgar trying for a choke. Check. Henderson escaping. Check. Boring fight. Check.

Round 5: We almost see a miracle finish as Henderson gets an Arm Triangle locked in but Edgar won't tap. Eventually Henderson's arm gas and he gives it up. Edgar holds on for the win.

Meet the Cast of The Ultimate Fighter Season 13

Alex "Devastation" Donovan (6-0)

Donovan is a 25 year old Muay Thai fighter out of Providence, Rhode Island. He is currently associated with The Arena fighting camp which is a very solid kickboxing academy. He is a lighter heavyweight but uses his superior speed to his advantage.

Calvin "The Can Opener" Oswald" (6-3)

Oswald is also 25 years old, but he is a straight brawler out of Detroit. He is a natural heel who people absolutely loathe but there is no questioning his heart. Standing with him is a mistake, but if you take him down things can get ugly for him in a hurry. He currently trains with the MMA Lab.

Garrett "The Artist" Hall (4-1)

Hall, a 22 year old Jiu Jitsu practitioner, is not going to wow you on his feet. In fact the longer he stands, the more likely it is he will suffer a magnificent knock out. Instead Hall relies on a solid wrestling game to take people down and make them tap. One of the more creative young submission specialists in the world, he is exciting on the floor and can beat you if you aren't careful. He currently trains with the Wand Fight Team.

Jace "The Hunter" Slater (12-2)

Slater, also 22, is a solid 6'6 specimen who even at his young age, already provides a very solid Muay Thai game. He is someone who is okay on the ground but as of right now will earn his money standing and banging. He currently is not associated with a camp.

John "Lethal Weapon" Williams (8-0)

Williams, 25, is a ground and pound guy. He has very good takedowns and is perhaps the strongest fighter on the show. He has massive hands and when he starts dropping his hammerfists it is reminiscent of a young Brock Lesnar. He is not currently associated with a camp.

Steve "Shell Shock" Bollea (2-0)

Bollela, at 21, is the youngest fighter on the show. A one time pro wrestler, Bollea gave it up early to focus on an MMA career. With only 2 pro fights behind him he is the most inexperienced fighter, but he has tons of potential. He has strong wrestling thanks to a state championship wrestling background in high school, and is very capable once the fight is on the floor. He currently trains with American Top Team.

Steven "The Boa Constrictor" Kennedy (6-2)

Kennedy, 27, is the elder statesmen of the group. Kennedy has solid wrestling and Jiu Jitsu which makes him a terror on the ground. Physically he is very gifted, except for a very weak chin which could be his undoing. He currently trains with AKA.

Thomas "Massive Mayhem" Mortensen (5-1)

Mortensen, 23, is the third Canadian on the cast. He is a former boxer who is evolving into a solid Mixed Martial Artist. He has solid power and throws his hands as well as anyone. He still needs to work on his ground game though and it'll most likely be his undoing. He currently trains with Roufusport.

Main Card

Heavyweight Quarterfinal
Thomas "Massive Mayhem" Mortensen (5-1) vs Calvin "The Can Opener" Oswald (6-3)

Round 1: Both guys come out looking to counter the other guys punches. Oswald is landing some of the better strikes throughout the round but Mortensen connected with his own solid shots. Still it is Oswald's round.

Round 2: It's another solid round. Mortensen lands the biggest shot with a huge flying knee but Oswald won't go down. Instead of panicking Oswald just starts throws tons of punches forcing Mortensen to retreat. Hard to pick a winner that round.

Round 3: Oswald comes out and throws a huge spinning backfist of his own that knocks Mortensen down. He quickly follows it up with GNP and Mortensen cannot defend himself so the ref has no choice but to step in!

Charles Oswald d. Thomas Mortensen at 1:11 of the 3rd round (TKO - Strikes) to advance to the TUF Semi-Finals [Good]

Heavyweight Quarterfinal
Steve "Shell Shock" Bollea vs Jace "The Hunter" Slater

Round 1: Slater shows his experience advantage over Bollea early. He is throwing almost nothing but stinging leg kicks that is taking a toll on Bollea who is trying to take it to the ground. Bollea is getting flustered as Hunter takes the first round.

Round 2: Slater continues to follow his gameplan to a tee. He lands more leg kicks and Bollea is noticeably limping around the cage. He has nothing on his strikes now and no drive in his takedowns.

Round 3: Bollea has huge heart and is showing it by not giving up between rounds despite massive swelling of his leg. Slater continues his attack to the leg and Bollea is in visible pain. Bollea goes for a desperation takedown but ends up face down after a sprawl and eats a huge shot that rocks him. Slater is trying to finish but Bollea hangs in there and the round ends.

Jace Hunter d. Steve Bollea (Unanimous Decision) to advance to the TUF Semi-Finals [Decent]

Heavyweight Quarterfinal
John "The Lethal Weapon" Williams (8-0) vs Steven "The Boa Constrictor" Kennedy (6-2)

Round 1: Both fighters come out looking tentative. Kennedy engages first but eats a jab for his troubles. Williams quickly shoots and takes Kennedy down. Kennedy tries to secure an armbar but Williams blocks it and gets to mount. He is throwing big shots but Kennedy is defending himself. Williams waits and lands a big elbow that rocks Kennedy. Williams begins throwing huge shots now and the ref has to stop it!

John Williams d. Steven Kennedy at 3:13 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) to advance to the TUF Semi-Finals (Great)

Heavyweight Quarterfinal
Alex "Devastation" Donovan (6-0) vs Garrett "The Artist" Hall (4-1)

Round 1: Donovan and Hall trade some blows early on. Donovan attempts a high leg kick and it ends up a mistake as Hall counters with a takedown. Hall is trying every submission in his arsenal, and even has a guillotine in at one point but Donovan is able to get out. After Donovan sweeps Hall is on his back but that is just fine with him and Hall throws out an arm triangle that is way too deep and Donovan has no choice but to tap!

Garrett Hall d. Alex Donovan at 4:33 of the 1st round (Submission - Arm Triangle) to advance to the TUF Semi-Finals [Good]

Heavyweight Semifinal
Calvin "The Can Opener" Oswald vs Jace "The Hunter" Slater"

Round 1: Hunter comes out with the same strategy he had vs Bollea which is to attack the legs. Oswald is able to avoid a few of the shots and get into the pocket. Hunter uncharacteristically decides to let his fists blow and it is an incredible display as both men are throwing huge shots. Hunter misses with a big shot and Oswald is able to land a big right flush on the jaw knocking Hunter out cold!

Calvin Oswald d. Jace Hunter at 3:09 of the 1st round (KO - Punch) to advance to the TUF 13 Finals [Great]

Heavyweight Semifinal
John "The Lethal Weapon" Williams vs Garrett "The Artist" Hall

Round 1: Its' a decent first round as both men attempt to shoot on the other. Hall finally scores a takedown when Williams tries to counter with a guillotine but cannot get it. Hall moves to full mount and tries an armbar but Williams rolls out of it and assumes top control. He can't do much with it though and eventually stands up. The round soon ends after.

Round 2: Hall goes for a flying heel hook as the round begins but Williams defends it. Williams does end up tripped down though and Hall goes back to mount, looking for a submission. Williams stacks up an armbar and gets top control again and begins throwing some solid strikes but he is leery of being tapped out. Williams is content to stay on top and let the round finish with Williams stealing it.

Round 3: Williams scores a takedown but he cannot get into full mount. He keeps avoiding Hall's submission attempts. Williams lands some solid ground strikes but near the end of the round the two men are stood up. The round ends and it'll be close.

John Williams d. Garrett Hall (Unanimous Decision) to advance to the TUF 13 Finale [Average]

Light Heavyweight Division
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (19-5) vs Matt "The Hammer" Hamill (10-3)

Round 1: What a display by Shogun! He comes in with a huge barrage that knocks Hamill down. He then mounts and locks in an armbar and Hamill has to tap!

Shogun Rua d. Matt Hamill at 0:54 of the 1st round (Submission - Armbar) [Good]

TUF 13 Finale
Calvin "The Can Opener" Oswald vs John "The Lethal Weapon" Williams

Round 1: Williams is wanting to take this fight down to the ground, something Oswald has to avoid but he cannot. Williams takes him down and is working for mount. Oswald is defending admirably but eventually Williams takes his back. Williams doesn't get his hooks in and still attempts a choke but Oswald is able to slip out. The round ends but it is all Williams.

Round 2: Oswald comes out using his speed advantage. He is moving all around and avoiding strikes that can set up takedowns. Oswald displays a significant striking advantage and Williams who had a 3 round war earlier is gassing. Oswald ties it up.

Round 3: It's a rough finale as should be expected from a one night Heavyweight tournament. Williams just can't explode like he could earlier in the night and it is making it easier for Oswald to just circle and jab. Oswald tries finishing the fight but Williams won't allow it. Still, Oswald may have stolen the fight with this round.

Calvin Oswald d. John Williams (Unanimous Decision) to win the TUF 13 Finale [Poor]

Congrats to Oswald, hopefully we'll get another match sometime in the future.

Slater actually used more strategy then most fighters. When I created Oswald I just envisioned a guy like Rampage minus the wrestling. He has one punch power and speed. Besides that he is fairly limited. Had Williams not been in a war the fight before I think he easily wins the tournament.

Main Card

Bantamweight Division
Dominick Cruz (16-2) vs Edde Wineland (17-7-1)

Round 1: It's an uneventful first round. Both men are just feeling one another out. Cruz allegedly had a poor camp coming into this fight but so far he looks solid. He out strikes Wineland to take the round.

Round 2: Cruz is using superb head movement this round and is just countering Wineland to death. Wineland cannot get anything going and it's all Cruz again.

Round 3: Same as the first two rounds. Cruz is just counter punching Wineland and Wineland has no answer. The round ends once again in favor of Cruz.

Dominick Cruz d. Eddie Wineland (Unanimous Decision) [Poor]

Lightweight Division
"The Young Assassin" Melvin Guillard (26-9-2) vs Thiago Tavares (15-3-1)

Round 1: Melvin Guillard wants to make a point with this fight and he comes out swinging for the fences. He connects with Tavares who is forced to cover up. Guillard keeps throwing bombs and Tavares goes down. Guillard continues to pound on Tavares until the ref steps in!

Melvin Guillard d. Thiago Tavares at 0:50 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) [Good]

Middleweight Division
Chris "The Crippler" Leben (26-6) vs Demian Maia (15-2)

Demian Maia d. Chris Leben at 2:03 of the 1st round (Submission - Guillotine) [Great]

Co-Main Event/UFC Welterweight Title Fight
Jon Fitch [c] (24-3) vs Chris "Lights Out" Lytle (32-17-5)

Round 1: Typical Fitch round here. He scores a takedown and smothers Lytle while he tries to get into mount. Eventually they are stood up by Fitch easily takes the first round.

Round 2: Fitch with another takedown and he gets side control. He attempts an arm triangle and locks it in right but Lytle won't give up and eventually he is able to get free, but Fitch is taking the fight easily so far.

Round 3: Yawn. Fitch controls Lytle against the cage again for most of the round. Lytle is frustrated as he cannot do anything. Fitch is just dominating.

Round 4: This is getting awful. Fitch is just dominating Lytle and has basically taken the will right out of him.

Round 5: Fitch is now leg kicking Lytle and eventually secures a takedown. He gets side control and ends up locking a deep armbar in. Lytle is valiantly fighting but he cannot get out of it and he has to tap.

Jon Fitch d. Chris Lytle at 3:20 of the 5th round (Submission - Armbar) to retian the UFC Welterweight Title [Poor]

Main Event/UFC Heavyweight Title Fight
Cain Velasquez [c] (10-0) vs Brock Lesnar (7-2)

Round 1: Brock comes in with a controlled rage unlike the first fight. He lands a big shot early and it helps him take Cain down. From there he hits some big shots, one of which busts Cain open. Brock gets side control, then easily takes mount. The gorilla fists come in hard and fast and this fight is over!

UFC 137 Lineup

- In the Main Event it will be the third battle between icons, as "The Prodigy" BJ Penn takes on Georges "Rush" St. Pierre. GSP has to be considered the favorite, but no one can ever count Penn out.

- In the Co-Main Event, a place in the top 5 of the Light Heavyweight Division is at stake when Luis Cane takes on "Mr. Wonderful" Phil Davis. Both men are riding win streaks, but for Davis, he can cement himself as not just a future star, but a current star.

- It's the final bout in the long, illustrious career of "The Iceman" Chuck Liddell, and it won't be easy, as he is going to go one on one with Jon "Bones" Jones. For Jones he has a chance to send a Hall of Famer out with a loss and in turn get himself off of the snide, but he better be careful because Liddell will leave it all in the cage!

- It's a heavyweight battle on 137, as the surprising Carl Seumanautafa will take on Stefan "Skyscraper" Struve! Though Struve is coming off of a loss he is still a dangerous opponent for ground and pound artist.

- In our opener it is a featherweight battle pitting Leonard Garcia against Mike Brown. Expect a lot of fireworks here as both guys will want to put on a show!

A bit off topic, but... how "playable" is the game? I'm still on the fence about buying it.

I have owned both versions before and found (specially with 1 as didn't play 2 a lot) that i was more watching fights that i booked than really "playing" a game with an objective, strategic decisions and enough things to do to improve my company, so i got bored pretty fast.

Right now I am just toying around with UFC to get a better feel for the game but I did start a Bellator game that I find more strategic. I booked what I thought was a can't miss fight for the first PPV I ran and it was a commercial and critical disaster. Nothing is worse then watching your dreams get smashed in front of your eyes. I find that very rewarding. I played 1 and 2 and I feel this is a very big step up.

Round 2: Seumanutafa is really pushing the pace now and he ends up knocking Struve down following a ton of big rights. Struve collects himself quickly and is daring him to enter his guard but Seumanutafa smartly lets Struve up. It's another round for the big Samoan.

Round 3: Seumanutafa and Struve continue to battle it out. Struve goes for a takedown but it is stuffed and he ends up face down from the sprawl. Seumantuafa rocks him and gets side control. He wants mount but cannot get it and Struve is able to lock on a choke. Seumanutafa refuses to tap though and Struve is too gassed to keep the choke in. Both fighters stand and the round ends with each man trading blows.

Carl Seumantuafa d. Stefan Struve (Unanimous Decision) [Good]

Light Heavyweight Division
"The Iceman" Chuck Liddell (22-8) vs Jon "Bones" Jones (11-3)

Round 1: Jones is going to end this fight early but Chuck in his last fight doesn't let it happen despite getting floored by some big right hands, one of which knocks him down. Jones gets on Chuck but can't get mount and Chuck successfully scrambles. Jones shoots for a takedown and ends up facedown in sprawl where Chuck begins teeing off! Jones is able to defend himself enough to keep the fight going but he is hurt. The round ends in favor of Chuck.

Round 2: What an amazing second round. Jones gets Chuck into a Muay Thai clinch and delivers a huge elbow that cuts Chuck. The blood is flowing but Chuck manages to get out of the clinch. The ref stops the fight to have the cut checked but it is minor. They continue and it's back to the clinch where Chuck eats more and more elbows, reopening the gash. Once again Chuck gets out of the clinch but Jones comes in and knocks him down as the round ends. This could be a 10-8 round.

Round 3: Both guys are battling hard now. Jones goes for a takedown but is forced to his knees where he eats a big knee and several big punches but Jones again is able to get up. He begins countering Chuck's wild fists and is able to steal the round and cap off an incredible fight.

Jon Jones d. Chuck Liddell (Unanimous Decision) [Great]

Round 1: Phil Davis throws a leg kick and then scores a takedown. He easily passes guard and gets into mount but he can't lock on an armbar and ends up swept putting Cane in side control. Cane goes for his own armbar and he gets swept! Both guys are showing solid ground games here. With 30 seconds left in the round Davis goes for an Americana and locks it in deep! Cane is fighting it but he has to tap!

Phil Davis d. Luis Cane at 4:51 of the 1st round (Submission - Americana) [Good]

Round 1: GSP can't get Penn down this round but he is able to keep Penn off balance and is pushing the pace. Penn is up against the fence but he is able to foot stomp GSP and turn the tables on him. Still he can't make much come of it and GSP gets away. GSP shoots but is stuffed but GSP quickly gets out of trouble and hits Penn with some solid jabs as the round ends.

Round 2: A lot of grappling here. It's a very average fight so far. Penn is worried about making mistakes which is allowing GSP to pick him apart. It's easily 2-0 GSP so far.

Round 3: GSP and Penn are both tired at this point. They end up in a clinch and GSP is able to break out of it and take Penn down. GSP makes a mistake on top though when going for mount and leaves an arm free. Penn is able to secure an arm and lock in a triangle. GSP is stuck with nowhere to go and this fight is over!

Anthony Pettis d. Jonathan Brookins (Unanimous Decision) [Average]

Heavyweight Division
Matt "The Meathead" Mitrione (5-0) vs Brendan "The Hybrid" Schuab (7-3)

UFC 139 Lineup

- Fabricio Werdum (15-4-1) left UFC after a loss to Junior dos Santos, but after reeling off 4 wins in Strikeforce, including a shocking upset of Fedor, Werdum is back in the UFC and headlining UFC 139 when he takes on fellow submission specialist Frank Mir (16-5). The winner of this fight is in prime position for a title fight vs Brock Lesnar.

- In the Co-Main Event, the UFC Bantamweight Title will be on the line when champion Brian Bowles (10-1) puts his belt on the line against Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson (8-1). With each guy possessing KO power anything can happen in this fight.

- It should be a ton of fun in the Welterweight division as "The Natural Born Killer" Carlos Condit (27-6) takes on Mike "Quick" Swick
(15-4).

- It's a battle of Ultimate Fighter winners as TUF 10 winner Roy "Big Country" Nelson (18-6) faces TUF 13 winner Calvin "The Can Opener" Oswald (11-3). Oswald won the TUF 13 crown without facing any adversity on the ground, but against Big Country he will face his stiffest challenge yet.

- In our opener it's a battle of rising Light Heavyweights, as Ricardo Romero (12-1) takes on Igor Pokrajac (24-8). Pokrajac's last two fights earned him Submission of the Night honors but against Romero he will need to have a similar performance to keep his win streak alive.

Light Heavyweight Division
Igor Pokarjac (24-8) vs Ricardo Romero (12-1)

Round 1: It's a close first round that could have gone either way. Nothing worthy of mentioning but everything was solid.

Round 2: Romero wins the 2nd round but it just a boring fight as neither man is going out there looking to finish the fight.

Round 3: At the end of the 3rd round Romero gets a takedown and ends up in mount. He begins pummeling Pokrajac and the ref has to stop it!

Ricardo Romero d. Igor Pokrajac at 4:59 of the 3rd round (TKO - Strikes) [Poor]

Calvin "The Can Opener" Oswald (11-3) vs Roy "Big Country" Nelson (16-6)

Welterweight Division
"The Natural Born Killer" Carlos Condit (27-6) vs Mike "Quick" Swick (15-4)

Round 1: Yawner of a first round. Terrible start to this PPV at this point. Hard to say who won since neither did much.

Round 2: Swick gets a takedown and almost gets a submission win but Condit avoids the armbar. Swick gets his back as the round is ending.

Round 3: Swick gets another takedown and gets mount. He lands a big elbow and pounds Condit out!

Co-Main Event/UFC Bantamweight Title Fight
Brian Bowles [c] (10-1) vs Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson (8-1)

Round 1: It's a decent first round. Bowles is pushing the pace but Johnson isn't backing down. Johnson tries to get a killshot as the round is ending but pays dearly as he is clearly rocked by a counter right. Thankfully he is saved by the bell.

Round 2: Bowles comes out swinging and levels Johnson with a big right. He mounts and finishes the fight with brutal GNP.

Brian Bowles d. Demetrious Johnson at 3:14 of the 2nd round (TKO - Strikes) to retain the UFC Bantamweight Title (Average)

Main Event/Heavyweight Division
Frank Mir (16-5) vs Fabricion Werdum (15-4-1)

Round 1: It's a yawner. Mir has two takedowns and both guys trade submission attempts but nothing comes of it.

Round 2: Werdum ties the fight up with a takedown and an armbar but Mir is able to break free. Still Werdum is taking control.

Round 3: The last round is a war as both men trade shots. Mir gets Werdum against the cage but Mir is gassing. Werdum keeps his composure and then he locks on a standing guillotine. Mir is trying to fight it but he cannot do it any longer and he taps!

UFC on Versus: Henderson vs Florian Lineup

- In the Main Event it is a a lightweight battle pitting Ben "Smooth" Henderson (14-2) against Kenny "KenFlo" Florian (16-5). A win for Florian could very well make him the #1 contender for the Lightweight Title, while a win for Henderson puts him right back into the hunt.

- In the Co-Main Event, it is a welterweight showdown between Jake Ellenberger (23-6) and Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann (18-4). It should be an exciting fight when these two take to the cage.

- It'll be a heavyweight battle between two big strikers as Alex "Devastation" Donovan (6-1) takes on "The Mexecutioner" Joey Beltran (13-5). It'd be a surprise if this one goes the distance.

- In our opener it is a middleweight battle pitting Ed "Short Fuse" Hermann (18-9) against Rousimar Palhares (11-4)

Ed "Short Fuse" Herman (18-9) vs Rousimar Palhares (11-4)

Round 1: Herman takes Palhares to the cage but against a submission expert such as him you can't let your guard down which is exactly what Herman does allowing Palhares to lock in a standing guillotine! It is in tight and Herman is done!

Heavyweight Division
Alex "Devastation" Donovan (6-1) vs Joey "The Mexecutioner" Beltran (13-5)

Round 1: It is a solid first round as both men are throwing some solid strikes, but playing it safe. Both are very counteractive so far, waiting for mistakes that aren't coming. Still Donovan probably takes the first round.

Round 2: It's a great second round that sees Beltran hit a big barrage of punches but Donovan is able to get out of harms way and ends up obliterating Beltran with vicious leg kicks. Beltran hits one more flurry to end the round and may have stolen it in the process.

Round 3: It's a decent third round as both guys continuing trading blows. Beltran is able to land a few big shots that stun Donovan but it doesn't end the fight. The round ends with Beltran possible taking the decision.

Joey Beltran d. Alex Donovan (Split Decision) [Good]

Co-Main Event/Welterweight Division
Jake Ellenberger (23-6) vs Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann (18-4)

Jake Ellenberger d. Martin Kampmann at 3:49 of the 1st round (KO - Right Hook) [Decent]

Main Event/Lightweight Division
Ben "Smooth" Henderson (14-2) vs Kenny "KenFlo" Florian (15-5)

Round 1: Terrible first round. Florian dominates if you want to call it that. Mostly Henderson dancing.

UFC 140 Lineup

- In the Main Event it is the much anticipated battle between the two best Lightweights in the UFC, fighting over the UFC Lightweight Title, as Frankie "The Answer" Edgar (15-1) takes on Gray "The Bully" Maynard (12-0). Both men are on big time rolls, but one of those win streaks will end at UFC 140.

- In our Co-Main Event, it is a Light heavy battle pitting Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (20-5) against Forrest Griffin (17-7). They fought several years ago when Shogun was less then 100% and Griffin was able to secure a win, but this time around Shogun is healthy and reason to even the score.

- No one had a more disappointing 20111 then Junior dos Santos (12-4). He suffered two brutal TKO's to Cain Velasquez and Ben Rothwell, and lost a poor fight to Sean McCorkle. Now he is back and ready to take on a returning Mirko Cro Cop (28-8-2). Can JDS finally return to form, or will Cro Cop's return to the cage be a success?

- Two lightweights who haven't had fights in a while will shake off the cage rust as Evan Dunham (11-1) faces off with George Sotiropoulos (15-3). Expect a lot of fun when these two rising 155's do battle.

- In our opener Ryan "Darth" Bader (13-1) and Thiago Silva (15-3) will look to get back on track. It's a big battle in the Light Heavyweight division and both men will hope to be up to the task.

Thiago Silva (15-3) vs Ryan "Darth" Bader (13-1)

Round 1: It's a slow first round as Silva is trying to get Bader's back but Bader isn't allowing it. Bader is out striking Silva as if it was some sort of bizarro world. It's too close to call.

Round 2: Bader shoots for a takedown to start the round and Silva times it with a beautiful right cross and Bader is out cold!

Thiago Silva d. Ryan Bader at 0:30 of the 2nd round (KO - Right Cross) [Poor]

Lightweight Division
Evan Dunham (11-1) vs George Sotiropoulos (15-3)

Round 1: Dunham puts Sotiropolos against the fence but he can't keep him there and after a foot stomp George reverses Dunham against the cage. He easily takes Dunham down and then gets into side control where he applies an armbar and this fight is all over!

George Sotiropolos d. Evan Dunham at 2:37 of the 1st round (Submission - Armbar) [Great]

Heavyweight Division
Junior dos Santos (12-4) vs Mirko Cro Cop (28-8-2)

Round 1: Cro Cop comes out with a simple strategy: take out JDS's legs and that's exactly what he does as he lands countless big shots to the legs. JDS is in tons of pain and is not landing any punches that have zip to them. Cro Cop easily takes the first round.

Round 2: JDS is now leery of low kicks and it leaves him wide open to be kicked into next year! Cro Cop with a vicious right kick and it is all over!

Mirko Cro Cop d. Junior dos Santos at 0:25 of the 2nd round (KO - Right Head Kick) [Good]

Co-Main Event/Lightweight Division
Forrest Griffin (17-7) vs Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (20-5)

Round 1: The highlight of the round is a vintage Pride soccer kick as Forrest was stuck in a sprawl and took a brutal kick to the body. He manages to get up but was knocked down later in the round after a vicious right hand. Shogun easily takes the first round.

Round 2: Griffin takes the second round as he lands more strikes and gets a nice takedown. He spent a lot of the round diry boxing Shogun and it is clearly taking a toll.

Round 3: It's a weird ending to the fight as Shogun gets Forrest against the fence and throws vicious elbows. A big cut opens on Griffin but the fight is allowed to continue. Then with under 10 seconds left the doctor has the ref stop the fight and award a TKO victory to Shogun.

Shogun Rua d. Forrest Griffin at 4:57 of the 3rd round (TKO - Cut) [Decent]

Main Event/UFC Lightweight Title Fight
Frankie "The Answer" Edgar (15-1) vs Gray "The Bully" Maynard (12-0)

Round 1: It's a slow first round. Maynard secures a quick takedown and controls much of the round. Edgar scrambles near the end of the round and gets a few solid shots but it should be Maynards.

Round 2: Edgar gets the takedown this time and with two separate attempts almost ends the fight. First an armbar, then a kimura. Maynard is able to get out each time but the holds are taking a toll.

Round 3: Edgar takes the third when he almost gets Maynard to pass out to a Standing Guillotine but Maynard is able to break out of it. Still he is starting to gass and Edgar looks fresh.

Round 4: Finally Edgar is able to do what he wanted all fight. He takes Maynard down and is able to get Maynard's back. He puts the hooks in and locks in a deep Rear Naked Choke and Maynard has to tap!

As of late Rampage is one man wrecking crew, and now he not only wants the UFC Light Heavyweight Title, but he wants revenge against Rashad!

- Our Co-Main Event is an epic Heavyweight encounter between two guys who need victories. It's former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez (10-1) taking on Shane Carwin (13-2). There will be some big strikes in this fight and chances are it'll steal the show.

- A former Strikeforce and Dream star makes his UFC debut as Melvin "No Mercy" Manhoef (27-9-1) will face Chris "The Crippler" Leben (26-7). It's a big fight between big strikers and it should be a fun battle.

- The Welterweights take the stage as Rick "Horror" Story (12-3) battles Mike "Quicksand" Pyle (20-7-1) . It's an underrated fight between two underrated fighters who will both take to the big stage at 141.

- And in our opener it is a Light Heavyweight contest between two exciting fighters as "The American Psycho" Stephen Bonnar (13-9) takes on James Te Huna (13-4). Expect these two 205's to kick the night off right.

UFC 141 Weigh Ins

- Rampage comes in 3 lbs overweight so the fight will go on but it will not be a title fight. Very bad news.

Main Card

Light Heavyweight Division
"The American Psycho" Stephen Bonnar (13-9) vs James Te Huna (13-4)

Round 1: Bonnar is trying to use leg kicks to keep Te Huna at bay so he can shoot for a takedown but Te Huna isn't affected. Bonnar tries for a takedown anyway and is rocked by a big right that stuns him. Te Huna throws a flurry of punches that take Bonnar down and he mounts him and ends the fight with brutal GNP!

James Te Huna d. Stephen Bonnar at 3:52 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) [Great]

Welterweight Division
Rick "Horror" Story (12-3) vs Mike "Quicksand" Pyle (20-7-1)

Round 1: Story takes Pyle down and locks in a guillotine but Pyle refuses to tap and eventually Story breaks the hold himself. He doesn't want to gas himself out but he wants to pass guard. Pyle is too good though and won't allow it. Still Story takes the round.

Round 2: Slow round. Story takes Pyle down but Story won't let him get a dominant position. Still it is all Story.

Round 3: Yawner of a third round. Same as the first two. All Story.

Rick Story d. Mike Pyle (Unanimous Decision) [Poor]

Middleweight Division
Chris "The Crippler" Leben (26-7) vs Melvin "No Mercy" Manhoef (27-9-1)

Round 1: Manhoef comes out with a spinning back kick that hits Leben in the ribs. He starts pepperin Leben with kicks but Leben times one with a right hand that stuns Manhoef. He then hits a big combination that drops Manhoef and he finishes him with some GNP!

Chris Leben d. Melvin Manhoef at 2:27 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) [Great]

Co-Main Event/Heavyweight Division
Cain Velasquez (10-1) vs Shane Carwin (13-2)

Round 1: It's a fun first round as both guys rock one another. Cain scores a knockdown and gets mount but goes for an armbar which Carwin stacks and he gets side control. He unload vicious strikes that stun Cain and Carwin gets full mount but the round ends. Too close to call.

Round 2: It's another fun round. Carwin is able to knock Cain down and mount him with under a minute left. A big elbow opens a cut on Cain but Cain won't allow himself to be finished and he eventually is saved by the round. What a fight.

Round 3: It's a slower paced round as both guys are hurting but Cain may have stolen the fight late with a huge right that stuns Carwin. Carwin is able to defend himself and remarkably this goes to the judges.

Cain Velasquez d. Shane Carwin (Split Decision) [Good]

Main Event/Light Heavyweight Division
"Sugar" Rashad Evans (16-1-1) vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (33-8)

Round 1: Yawner of a round. Rashad tried taking Rampage down but Rampage is able to reverse it and take Rashad down. He wants mount but cannot get it and eventually the fighters are stood up.

Round 2: it's another yawner of a round until Rashad shoots a takedown that Rampage times with a huge right that knocks Rashad down. He then mounts Rashad and ends the fight with brutal GNP.

UFC 142 Lineup

- In the Main Event it is a fight that people have been asking for, and now they will get their wish. The unstoppable Jose Aldo (21-1) will put his UFC Featherweight Title on the line against "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung (12-3). Aldo has been laying to waste the UFC Featherweight Division, but Jung can take a punch and can dish it out. Expect a war when these two face off.

- In the Co-Main Event "The Prodigy" B.J Penn (17-8-1) looks for another big win at Welterweight. He knocked off GSP, and now he will face Jake Shields (26-5-1). Both men are worth competitors but for Penn, a win can get him another step closer to contention in the WW division.

- It's a Heavyweight battle as Antonio "Minotauro" Rodrigo Nogueira (33-7-1) takes on "Big" Ben Rothwell (33-8). Rothwell is coming off of an impressive win over Shane Carwin, but now he faces the BJJ legend. Will Rothwell be able to get past the great ground game of Nog, or will Nog show why he is a future UFC Hall of Hamer and knock off Rothwell?

- It's a middle weight battle between two Brazilians as Maiquel "Big Rig" Falcao (28-3) takes on a returning Thales Leites (21-5). Falcao has been very good as of late but he faces a stiff challenge in Leites.

- In the opener it is a lightweight battle between Chris "The Polish Hammer" Horodecki (18-2)and Tie Quan Zhang (13-0). Zhang is making a name for himself in the lightweight division but Horodecki plans to end the Mongolian fighters win streak.

Main Card

Lightweight Division
Chris "The Polish Hammer" Horodecki (18-2) vs "The Mongolian Wolf" Tie Quan Zhang (13-0)

Round 1: Slow first round. It's a feeling out process between the two fighters. Zhang probably does enough to win the round.

Round 2: Another round of just stand up but neither fighter lands anything big as both would rather counter then go for big strikes. Probably Zhang's round though.

Round 3: Horodecki knows he is in trouble and has to do something to finish Zhang. He throws a spinning backfist that rocks Zhang but Zhang is able to recover and starts hammering Horodecki with big leg kicks. With under a minute left Horodecki throws a miracle left that catches Zhang flush and knows him out cold!

Chris Horodecki d. Tie Quan Zhang at 4:40 of the 3rd round (KO - Puncj) [Decent]

Middleweight Division
Maiquel "Big Rig" Falcao (28-3) vs Thales Leites (21-5)

Round 1: It's a solid first round as both men have a spirited exchange. Leities manages a takedown to end the round and unloads a few big shots with Falcao against the fence but the round ends.

Round 2: It's a slow second round but Falcao should get the advantage for his solid leg kicks that are starting to have an impact on Leites.

Round 3: Falcao keeps with the leg kicks for much of the third and he has Leites on his heels. Leites wants the takedown but there is not much left in his tank. Falcao amps up the pressure and nearly KO's Leites but the round ends.

Maiquel Falcao d. Thales Leites (Unanimous Decision) [Good]

Heavyweight Division
Antonio "Minotauro" Rodrigo Nogueira (33-7-1) vs "Big" Ben Rothwell (33-8)

Round 1: Big Nog wants this fight on the ground and a minute it in he goes to take Rothwell down but Rothwell sprawls and Nog is stuck face down. Rothwell unloads with some vicious shots and Nog is hurt forcing the ref to step in.

Ben Rothwell d. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at 1:56 of the 1st round (TKO - Strikes) [Good]

Co-Main Event/Welterweight Division
"The Prodigy" B.J Penn (17-8-1) vs Jon Fitch (26-5-1)

Round 1: Snorer of a first. Shields gets a takedown but he cannot pass guard. It's a lot of mat action but not much is happening.

Round 2: This time Penn gets the takedown and it's much of the same. Not a whole lot happening.

Round 3: Another yawner. Penn is the more active fighter and I think he takes the fight.

B.J Penn d. Jake Shields (Unanimous Decision) [Poor]

Main Event/UFC Featherweight Title Fight
Jose Aldo [c] (21-1) vs "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung (12-3)

Round 1: What a first round. It could have gone either way as it was a tail of two halves. Zombie knocked Aldo down early but later in the round Aldo got a knockdown of Jung. These guys are just beating the hell out of one another.

Round 2: Aldo goes in for the kill this round and he is after Jung with all he has got. Aldo makes a mistakes though and Jung throws an incredible spinning heel kick that knocks Aldo out!

Chan Sung Jung d. Jose Aldo at 2:29 of the 2nd round (KO - Spinning Heel Kick) to win the UFC Featherweight Title [Excellent]
