UFC 87: Modern Warriors [B][U][SIZE="7"]UFC 87: Modern Warriors[/SIZE][/U][/B] Held in California the announced attendance was 8,211 for an estimated live gate of $2,496,000... [B][U]Non Televised Bouts[/U][/B] [B]Frankie Edgar beat Mark Bocek by UD[/B] [B]Thiago Tavares beat Marcus Aurelio by submission in 57 sec of round 3[/B] [B]Joe Lauzon beat Alvin Robinson by UD[/B] [B]Spencer Fisher beat Rich Clementi by TKO in 3:59 of round 1[/B] [B]Sam Stout beat Matt Wiman bt TKO in 37 sec of round 2[/B] (Matt Wiman was dealt a concussion and will be out for 3 months and 2 weeks) [B]Melvin Guillard beat David Baron by UD[/B] [B]Manvel Gamburyan beat Shannon Gugerty by submission in 1:16 of round 3[/B] [B][U]Opening Bout[/U][/B] Josh Neer Vs Nate Diaz Josh Neer is nicknamed "the dentist" for very obvious reasons, he has power in both hands. Comming into this fight Neer is 3-3 inside the octagon he has also fought Nick Diaz Nate's older brother. They met at UFC 62 and the older of the Diaz brothers got the win by submission. Nate Diaz has an impressive 4-0 record since entering the UFC. Nate also was the winner of the UFC's Ultimate Fighter season 5 series. he is a bright young star he has a lot of potential....and the scary thing is he is only 23. The Winner by UD [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=8tuyweeevpkxcjevc218.gif[/url] [B][U]Prelim Bout[/U][/B] Kenny Florian Vs Jorge Gurgel Kenny Florian has always for as long as many can remember been a top contender for the Lightweight title...he has always come short though. Florian has an impressive 6-2 record in the UFC and is riding a 4 fight win streak which is once again putting him in title contention. Jorge Gurgel has not had much success in the UFC brandishing a 1-3 record he needs to win to prove he belongs in the world's leading MMA promotion. The Winner by UD [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=i3gf2v5qe8rvx0kod9rc.gif[/url] [B][U]Support Bout[/U][/B] Sean Sherk Vs Joe Stevenson Sean Sherk was the UFC Lightweight champion before losing the title to BJ Penn at UFC 84. Many felt however that Sherk performed so poorly in his fight with Penn due to the controvery surrounding his steroid usage. With a Win over Joe Stevenson Sherk will prove that he doesn't need enhanced supplements to kick some ass. Joe Stevenson won the ultimate fighter season 2 series and made him a household name among UFC fans. He lost his shot at the title against none other than BJ Penn is a one sided fight. A win over Sean Sherk will make Joe Stevenson a top 5 contender for a title shot. The Winner by TKO in 3:37 of round 3 [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=h3qk1b16xqs6jnasaqr2.gif[/url] [B][U]Support Bout[/U][/B] Tyson Griffin Vs Mac Danzig Mac Danzig was the winner of UFC's unltimate fighter 6 he blew through the competition. Danzig was also in pride before entering onto TUF season 6 and today he is 2-0 in the UFC. Danzig's last loss came when he was knocked out by MMA legend Hayato Sakurai. Tyson Griffin is 4-1 in the UFC his only loss comming by was of UD to Frankie Edgar in which many consider could have gone either way. Tyson Griffin is a young fighter who with a win or loss will learn and improve from it. The Winner by UD [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=k3yo9mmlfd15hq3axdez.gif[/url] [B][U][SIZE="4"]MAIN EVENT[/SIZE][/U][/B] [B][U][SIZE="4"]BJ Penn Vs Roger Huerta[/SIZE][/U][/B] [B][U][SIZE="4"]FOR THE UFC LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE[/SIZE][/U][/B] BJ Penn is a legend inside the octagon, and may be one of the best and most popular fighters in the world at 155. Penn held the UFC Welterweight title and now currently holds the UFC Lightweight title. Penn is on a 3 fight win streak and has beat some very tough fighters throughout his career. Roger Huerta is a young and exciting fighter which are 2 main ingrediants in scalpting a UFC champion. Since comming to the UFC at UFC 62 he has built up an incredible record of 6-0 for himself. It is no wonder he will tonight face his toughest opponant in BJ Penn. The Winner by TKO in 1:49 of round 3 [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=09svbkgc2cowvjy4qov5.gif[/url]

UFC 88: California Sneekers [B][U][SIZE="7"]UFC 88: California Sneekers[/SIZE][/U][/B] Show was held in California with an attendance of 8,517 [B][U]Non Televised Bouts[/U][/B] [B]John Alessio beat Luke Cummo by submission in 52 seconds of round 2[/B] [B]Marcus Davis beat Rory Markham by TKO in 3:33 of round 2[/B] [B]Johnathan Goulet beat Josh Burkman by UD[/B] [B]Matt Hughes beat Mike Swick by TKO in 3:50 of round 1[/B] [B]George Sotiropoulos beat Ben Saunders by UD[/B] [B]Paul Kelly beat Steve Bruno by UD[/B] [B]Chris Lytle beat Ryo Chonan by TKO in 3:20 of round 2[/B] [B][U]Opening Bout[/U][/B] Roan Carneiro Vs Dan Hardy Roan Carneiro has had mixed success in the UFC, he is currently 2-2 inside the octagon. Carneiro has wins over Rich Clementi and Tony DeSouza, and also has lost to Jon Fitch and Kevin Jordan. This will be Dan Hardys first fight in the octagon since comming from the UK. he is a tough kid and many say he has a promising future. The Winner by UD [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=rg69j5h87121akset0fa.gif[/url] [B][U]Prelim Bout[/U][/B] Josh Koscheck Vs Dong Hyun Kim Josh Koscheck has an MMA record of 12-2 and a UFC record of 5-2. We have seen Kos make stunning progress since he first came to the UFC. Not much is known about the newly signed UFC fighter Dong Hyun Kim. Many feel that Kim is one of the brightest prospects in MMA and Kim has tremendous potential. The Winner by UD [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=t89w3ykq0eluopcrin7m.gif[/url] [B][U]Support Bout[/U][/B] Matt Serra Vs Thiago Alves Matt Serra has had a great career in the UFC so far he has held the UFC Welterweight title. Serra has also won the ultimate fighter season 4 series in a dominating fashion. Serra is looking to regain the title but first things first he must win tonight's fight over....Thiago Alves is the number 1 contender for the UFC Welterweight title. If Alves can tonight beat Matt Serra he will most likely be the next in line for a chance at glory. Alves is one of the best Welterweights in the world and the scary thing is...he is only 24 years old. The Winner by UD [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=sj7bporamby7jk2zfmyr.gif[/url] [B][U]Co-Feature[/U][/B] Jon Fitch Vs Karo Parisyan Jon Fitch doesn't have to many weakness's at this stage in his career. With an impressive record of 18-2 and 8-0 in the UFC he is a dominating force withing these cages. Karo Parisyan has always been a top UFC contender but has never, like Jon Fitch won the UFC Welterweight Title. The winner of this fight will most likely get a shot at the title... The Winner by UD [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=moioo3uwin9a0vthbqdx.gif[/url] [B][U]Main Event[/U][/B] [B]George St. Pierre Vs Diego Sanchez[/B] [B]UFC Welterweight Title[/B] George St. Pierre is arguably one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. St. Pierre is 10-2 in the UFC and has held the UFC welterweight title twice as of today. St. Pierre seems to improve with every fight and with every fight experts are left wondering can GSP ever be beaten? Diego Sanchez is 7-2 in the UFC and could possibly be the next UFC Welterweight champion if he can manage a win over GSP. It will not be an easy fight for Sanchez by any means, however if there was a fighter right now that could give GSP a run for his money....Sanchez could. The Winner by KO in 4:40 of round 3 [url]http://uploadpics.in/viewer.php?file=mt9u574tjqvdq7rfshc1.gif[/url]

UFC 89: Silva Vs Okami [B][U][SIZE="7"]UFC 89: Silva Vs Okami[/SIZE][/U][/B] Held In Nevada in front of 9,644 fans.... [B][U]Non Televised Bouts:[/U][/B] Jason Day beat Jesse Taylor by UD Kendall Grove beat Demian Maia by TKO in 1:44 of round 3 Jason MacDonald beat Marvin Eastman by UD Nate Loughran beat Nate Quarry by Submission in 47 seconds of round 3 Martin Kampmann beat Alan Belcher by KO in 1:28 of round 2 Dan Henderson beat Jorde Rivera by TKO in 2:39 of round 1 Thales Leites beat Alessio Sakara by Submission in 3:18 of round 2 [B][U]Opening Bout[/U][/B] Nate Marquardt Vs Rousimar Palhales Nate Marquardt is a tough fighter who is known for his submission stlye fighting. Marquardt is 4-2 in the UFC and lost by way of technical knockout when he fought the UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. Wheather Nate can make it back up the ladder of the division is uncertain. Rousimar Palhales is 1-0 in the UFC winning by submission at UFC 84 against a tough Ivan Salaverry. He has a promising future in the UFC and with a win over Marquardt he will certainly prove that he can bang with the best middleweights. The Winner by UD [URL=http://uploadpics.in/][IMG]http://uploadpics.in/files/043guacz0fyszz87potn.gif[/IMG][/URL] [B][U]Prelim Bout[/U][/B] Michael Bisping Vs Ed Herman Michael Bisping is 6-1 in the UFC he has 3 win's and 1 loss at LHW and is 2-0 at his current weight which is Middleweight. He also has an imprssive record of 17-1 MMA and is only getting better. His first loss of his career came by SD to Rashad Evans who is also destined for greatness. Ed Herman like tonight has always been considered an under dog in most fights he has fought. Herman is 3-3 inside the octagon and has beaten a list of who's who throughout his career. Tonight will be Herman's toughest test in an opponant who is relentless in terms of giving up, how Herman will do remains to be seen. The Winner by UD [URL=http://uploadpics.in/][IMG]http://uploadpics.in/files/nwak5rmutnj2at71vyyd.gif[/IMG][/URL] [B][U]Support Bout[/U][/B] Rich Franklin Vs Chris Leben Rich Franklin was UFC champion and there was a time when many thought that no one could beat the superstar. And then along came a spider who not only once but twice man handled Franklin with ease. Many believe Franklin has plateued but with a win over Chris Leben tonight he will most definitly silence his most harsh critics. Chris Leben has become a force in the middleweight division and has risin from the bottom to the top. Leben is 7-3 in the UFC and has fit into the UFC very comfortbaly. With a win over Rich Franklin he will secure a spot as one of the top 5 Middleweights in not only the UFC but the world. The Winner by TKO in 3:51 of round 1 [URL=http://uploadpics.in/][IMG]http://uploadpics.in/files/vkr1h6oq2w7cough3uu6.gif[/IMG][/URL] [B][U]Co-Feature[/U][/B] Dean Lister Vs Patrick Cote Dean Lister has fought all over the world and has tons of experiance more than most in the UFC in fact. Lister also was the US national sambo champion which is a great accomplishment. Lister is 4-1 in the UFC and is looking to get the win over Patrick Cote tonight....the winner will get a title shot most likely. Patrick Cote does not have many weaknesses at this stage in his career and is improving with every fight. After losing his first 4 fights in the UFC, UFC president Dana White decided to give Cote one last shot and since Cote is now riding a 4 fight win streak. The Winner by TKO in 1:30 of round 3 [URL=http://uploadpics.in/][IMG]http://uploadpics.in/files/avgvisvwo691ozl3nm15.gif[/IMG][/URL] [B][U]Main Event[/U][/B] [B][U]Anderson Silva Vs Yushin Okami[/U][/B] [B][U]FOR THE UFC MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE[/U][/B] Anderson Silva is considered the best pound for pound fighter in the world by 7/10 experts. Since comming to the UFC Anderson Silva has stormed through everyone. He has not lost since comming and none of his fights have gone past the 3rd round. Yushin Okami is best suited to beat Anderson Silva, if any fighter in the UFC could do it he could. Why not? he has beaten many other top contenders at 185. The question like every PPV where Silva is in reamains....Will this be the fight that brings the king down? The Winnner by UD [URL=http://uploadpics.in/][IMG]http://uploadpics.in/files/fxpf2m193vvo7feykemu.gif[/IMG][/URL] I have won the prediction contest....I would rather one of you guys pick but you guys both tied at 7-5 so I guess I will. Thank you for predictions next card to be posted tonight :)

Ufc 90 [B][U][SIZE="7"]UFC 90: Griffin Vs Silva[/SIZE][/U][/B] Live from Florida, the announced attendance was 12,457 fans. N[B][U]on Televised Bouts:[/U][/B] [B]Luis Cane beat Matt Hamil by UD[/B] [B]Jason Lambert beat Houston Alexander by KO in 2:30 of the first round[/B] [B]Brandon Vera beat Goran Reljic by UD[/B] [B]Andre Gusmao beat Antonio Mendes by submission in 3:18 of the 1st round[/B] [B]James Lee beat Sokoudjou by UD[/B] [B]Thiago Silva beat Eric Schafer by TKO in 2:50 of round 2[/B] [B]Stephan Bonnar beat Tomasz Drwal by KO in 1:52 of round 3[/B] [B][U]Opening Bout[/U][/B] Lyoto Machida (13-0) Vs Reese Andy (7-1) Round 1 Andy throws the first punch of the round, a high searching jab that didn't carry a great deal of threat with it. Machida throws a one-two combination in return, neither connecting, then steps in and delivers a hard kick to the outside of the thigh. Andy steps back, throwing a right hand as he does to buy himself space. They circle, then move in again to exchange strikes, neither fighter getting a clear advantage. They come together again and the same result. It has become something of a stalemate at the moment. They come together to exchange strikes for the third time, and this time they wind up in a clinch. Machida hits a knee to the ribs. A couple of shots to the back from Andy. They struggle all the way back, with Andy ending up backed up against the cage. Machida hits another knee, but there wasn't much power behind it. Andy stomps downward onto his foot. Andy manages to reverse their positions, but that only lasts about thirty seconds before it gets reversed once more. Machida gets an arm free and tries to throw a big shot to the cheek, Andy ducks under it and gets the arm back under control. The referee finally breaks them up, and we're back to where we started. Andy tries a high kick to start, but Machida saw it coming and easily avoids it. They come back together in the center, and it's Machida who gets the first sustained attack of the round, hitting two hard body shots and a jab that caught Andy on the nose. Andy hits a straight right, enough to stop Machida from following up any further. The time expires with them standing. Not a great round for either of them or the crowd, it was very scrappy. The round is over. [B]Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Machida.[/B] Round 2 Machida and Andy circle to start. Andy throws a couple of looping punches, neither hitting, while Machida sits back, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Andy comes in closer, looking to unload with a right hand; that misses, and it allows Machida to slip a nice jab in, catching Andy just underneath the right eye. Machida comes in and scores with a straight left, then bounces a right hand off the body. Andy misses with a right cross, then backs off. Machida stalks him, forcing Andy back up against the cage. Machida doesn't rush in, instead standing back and throwing the occasional punch. Andy throws a big left hand in response, but it misses by quite a margin. Machida pounces, hitting lefts and rights. Andy covers up from the first two punches, then clinches up to prevent any more coming in. They're up against the cage, Machida in the dominant position. They remain that way as the time ticks down. Machida throws the occasional knee, but can't really do much with his arms tied up like that. The referee finally tells them to break, and they return to the center. That clinch ate up a lot of time though. Andy comes in hard and fast, bobbing and weaving, and throws a couple of big shots. Machida parries them with his gloves and scores with a well-executed counter punch, hitting just above the eye. They come in close again, throwing punches, but wind up clinched again. The time expires with them like that, and that round will definitely go down in Machida's favour. End of the round. [B]Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Machida. [/B] Round 3 They touch gloves to begin. Andy throws out a looping right hand, setting up a mid-level kick. The punch found gloves, the kick found nothing but thin air as Machida had stepped back in time. They meet in the center, exchanging a series of blows, and Andy gets the better of it, scoring with a crisp jab that causes Machida to back up quickly. Sensing a chance, Andy follows and forces him up against the cage with some jabs. Machida covers up, as two hard strikes find the gloves from Andy. A right hand misses, and that is the chance Machida needs to quickly get out of trouble and back to the center. Great start to the round from Andy. Machida with a jab. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute. [B]Big kick from Machida! That was out of nowhere, and hit Andy on the jaw. I don't think anyone saw that coming, least of all Andy, and he has been laid out cold with one massively powerful kick. The official time of the knock out is 2:52 of round 3. [/B] [B][U]Prelim Bout[/U][/B] Quinton Jackson (28-7) Vs James Irvin (14-4) Round 1 Jackson hits a right hand, then fakes a take down attempt. Irvin got out of the way, he clearly has it in mind to not let Jackson shoot in on him. They come together and exchange strikes, neither fighter gets an advantage from it. Irvin throws a scorching right hand, but it misses. Jackson throws a head kick, and that one doesn't! Irvin took it to the side of the head and goes down. It didn't look all that powerful though, and the fact that Irvin is able to clear his head pretty swiftly and pull guard on the on-rushing Jackson backs that up. Jackson looks to pound out a victory, throwing some big punches. Irvin's guard prevents him from getting his body behind the shots though, and none of them have enough power to really trouble Irvin. A couple do get through and hit home though. Irvin reaches up and smothers Jackson into a clinch. He fights free, with some difficulty, and starts punching away again. Irvin parries the shots away. Unfortunately the round enters a lull, with Jackson unable to pass guard and so being content just to throw punches from there, while Irvin is unwilling to risk letting Jackson pass guard. We enter the final thirty seconds of the round before Jackson gets a breakthrough, managing to power through the guard and mount Irvin! Irvin covers up and tries to buck and roll his hips to desperately try and dislodge Jackson. It doesn't work, but it does unbalance him enough to reduce the amount of punches being thrown. Some do come raining down though, and Irvin is probably relieved when the round ends with him not having taken too much damage. End of round 1. [B]Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Jackson.[/B] Round 2 Jackson hits the first punch of the round, scoring with a jab to the cheek. Irvin throws a left hook in response, but it's well wide of the mark. Jackson steps in and hits a low kick. Irvin ignores it and shoots in for a takedown. Jackson saw it coming though, and defends it brilliantly, sprawling at first, then pushing Irvin face-down to the ground so that he can take his back. Irvin turtles up. Jackson hits a couple of hard shots to the body, but can't stop Irvin working his way up and turning over, pulling guard. Jackson throws out a right hand, parried away by Irvin. The guard is quite tight, for the moment at least Jackson looks content to stay there and throw some punches. Irvin isn't offering any sort of attacking threat yet, instead concentrating on keeping the strikes from landing. A big punch is driven into the ribs, Irvin thought it was going for the face. Another punch lands in the same place, and a red mark starts to develop. Irvin reaches up and pulls Jackson down into a clinch, and tries to work an armbar from the bottom. Jackson defends it easily, and gets in a sharp jab to the face too. He stands up slightly, leaning forward into the guard, and starts throwing some right hands. One gets through, the others are parried. Irvin looked like he might be considering trying to apply a triangle then, as Jackson was very exposed, but he didn't get a chance due to the ferocity of the punches. Jackson gets back down to kneeling in the guard. Another right hand lands to the ribs. Irvin fires off two punches from his back, but Jackson defends them easily by simply leaning backward out of reach. Jackson stands again, the guard remaining tight around him, and throws another couple of bombs. This time Irvin does try to apply the triangle, and an armbar at the same time, but Jackson breaks free. Time is ticking down, looks like Irvin will survive this ground and pound attack. The round ends without further note. The round is over. [B]Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Jackson.[/B] Round 3 Flat start to the round, thirty seconds of circling without any actual contact. The fans begin to get a bit restless. Irvin is the first to try something, stringing together a couple of jabs and a low kick, but Jackson blocked the first two and avoided the latter. A lunge from Irvin is meant to set up a punch, but it's clumsy and just leaves him off balance. Jackson is quick to react, and gets a great shot to the side of the face in before Irvin can cover up. That landed above the left eye and has left an ugly red mark. No cut, but that will start to swell and could give Irvin some problems later on. Irvin moves in for a right hook, but takes a hard kick to the knee, then is forced to retreat so as not to get caught with the two right hands that follow. Jackson is staying on it though, and glances three shots off the gloves of Irvin before they wind up in a clinch. That punch above the eye, or maybe the mistake that led to it, seems to have completely thrown Irvin off, since that moment he has been comprehensively out-struck and is now in danger of losing this round. They struggle in the clinch, neither fighter managing a great deal more than minor blows. Irvin goes for a trip, but Jackson cleverly spins out of it and the two fighters are back to circling. Not a great round for purists, it has all been a bit disjointed, but that one shot from Jackson may prove decisive. As the round comes to an end, they wind up back in another clinch, with nothing coming of it. That's the end of the round. [B]Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Jackson. All three judges give a score of 30-27 in favour of Quinton Jackson.[/B] [B][U]Support Bout[/U][/B] Chuck Liddell (21-5) Vs Mauricio Rua (16-3) Round 1 Rua isn't hanging around, right from the start Liddell is forced onto the back foot by four hard shots, although none of them get through the gloves. Liddell circles, steps in, then unloads a combination of punches, but Rua weaves out of the way and scores with a beauty of a right hand, glancing above the right eye. That was some lovely counter punching from Rua, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Liddell is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches. Rua really should have taken advantage of that mistake, Liddell was wide open for a moment there. Rua hits a high kick, catching Liddell on the shoulder. Jab from Liddell finds the mark, but it didn't have much power behind it as he was leaning backward too much. Rua fires off a couple of straight punches in response, but only finds gloves. They clinch, and the fight enters a lull. Liddell scores with a knee from the clinch, it landed around the hip area of Rua, who responds with a couple of shots to the ribs. The time runs out with them still clinched though. The round is over. [B]Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Rua. [/B] Round 2 The two competitors start slowly, circling and looking for an opening. Rua fakes shooting in for a takedown, but Liddell didn't buy it for a second. In comes Rua from an angle to the right, but Liddell had it covered all the way, and not only easily steps out of the way of the attempted right hand, but manages to score with a solid right hand to the side of the head. Rua felt that, and is forced to cover up quickly as Liddell steps in quickly and unloads with a flurry of powerful blows, looking to capitalise on the earlier strike. Rua is forced back against the cage, but to his credit, he did a good job defending those strikes and didn't seem to take any significant damage. Liddell doesn't get in too close, realising that it would likely mean getting caught in a clinch, so he stands slightly back instead and throws some low kicks and looping punches. Rua responds by throwing out some straight jabs, but neither fighter is really doing any damage to their opponent. Liddell clearly grows tired of the wait, and moves in to hit a body blow. It connects, but Rua is quick to tie him up in a clinch. That lasts quite a while, until the referee gets in there and breaks them up, telling them to fight. Liddell looks for an opening. Liddell scores with a stiff jab, and bobs and weaves to avoid all three of the rapid-fire punches that come back from Rua. Nicely done. Rua, realising that he is losing this round, comes forward with a sense of urgency, throwing right hands to put Liddell on the back foot. Liddell handles it well though, refusing to let Rua get an angle, and using some nice counter punches to the body to further cement the fact that this round is going to him on points. Time expires with Rua throwing increasingly desperate punches. That's the end of the round. [B]Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Liddell.[/B] Round 3 Liddell throws two high punches, then steps in for a hook to the body. Nice combination, but Rua defended with ease. They clinch up next to the cage, but a short struggle only ends with them separating and coming back in. [B]Rua misses with a straight right. Liddell hits a standing kick, and Rua is rocked, stumbling backwards and falling to the floor. Liddell leaps into action and fires off a barrage of right hands. The referee dives in and protects Rua, bringing the fight to an end. The kick didn't knock Rua out, but it left him stunned, and that was all that Liddell needed to finish the job. Official time of the TKO is 1:20 of the third round. [/B] [B][U]Co Feature[/U][/B] Keith Jardine (13-4-1) Vs Rashad Evans (11-0-1) Round 1 Evans and Jardine circle to start. Jardine throws a couple of looping punches, neither hitting, while Evans sits back, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Jardine comes in closer, looking to unload with a right hand; that misses, and it allows Evans to slip a nice jab in, catching Jardine just underneath the right eye. Evans comes in and scores with a straight left, then bounces a right hand off the body. Jardine misses with a right cross, then backs off. Evans stalks him, forcing Jardine back up against the cage. Evans doesn't rush in, instead standing back and throwing the occasional punch. Jardine throws a big left hand in response, but it misses by quite a margin. Evans pounces, hitting lefts and rights. Jardine covers up from the first two punches, then clinches up to prevent any more coming in. They're up against the cage, Evans in the dominant position. They remain that way as the time ticks down. Evans throws the occasional knee, but can't really do much with his arms tied up like that. The referee finally tells them to break, and they return to the center. That clinch ate up a lot of time though. Jardine comes in hard and fast, bobbing and weaving, and throws a couple of big shots. Evans parries them with his gloves and scores with a well-executed counter punch, hitting just above the eye. They come in close again, throwing punches, but wind up clinched again. The time expires with them like that, and that round will definitely go down in Evans's favour. The first round is over. [B]Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Evans.[/B] Round 2 They come together into a clich almost right away. Jardine gets a knee in, but that's about the total sum of the action, and the referee separates them. Evans moves in, but gets caught with a big kick to the legs that causes him to stumble to the mat. Jardine came in fast to try and capitalise, but Evans uses the guard well. Jardine almost gets caught in a surprise armbar, leaving his arm in for far too long after a punch. Evans tries to twist it while wrapping his legs around it, but Jardine pulls free, and it allows him an opportunity to get side control due to Evans's legs being out of position. He lies across Evans's chest. Evans has locked up Jardine's right shoulder well, it's preventing him from doing much. Jardine drives a knee into the ribs, but can't generate much force. Jardine tries to spin around and get into north and south position, but Evans blocks it by tenaciously holding onto the right arm. Jardine uses his legs to break Evans's arms apart and trap the right one. It's a semi-crucifix position, Evans is quite exposed. Fortunately for him then time expires before Jardine can turn it into a better attacking opportunity. That's the end of the round. [B]Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Jardine.[/B] Round 3 Jardine hits a right hand, then fakes a take down attempt. Evans got out of the way, he clearly has it in mind to not let Jardine shoot in on him. They come together and exchange strikes, neither fighter gets an advantage from it. Evans throws a scorching right hand, but it misses. Jardine throws a head kick, and that one doesn't! Evans took it to the side of the head and goes down. It didn't look all that powerful though, and the fact that Evans is able to clear his head pretty swiftly and pull guard on the on-rushing Jardine backs that up. Jardine tries to move quickly into side control, but Evans isn't letting that happen. Evans reaches up and tries to grab an arm, but takes a right hand to the cheek in response. Jardine tries to power him way through, raining down four or five hammer fists, but Evans covered up well. Jardine pushes a leg down and moves to the side, but Evans spins out. Jardine moves with him though and gets his back! No, Evans scrambled like crazy and manages to turn right back over and pull guard again. That was an exciting sequence though, and the fans enjoyed it. Jardine won't be pleased that he had both side control and the back, but didn't hold onto either for more than a few seconds. The fight unfortunately enters a lull, as Jardine punctuates unsuccessful attempts to pass guard with easily defended jabs. The referee eventually gets them back up to their feet due to inactivity. Not much time left in the round though. Evans will need to do something a bit special to avoid losing the round on points. He tries just that, throwing a big right hand and a high kick, but Jardine backs off, safe in the knowledge that he has won this round. The time expires. The round ends. [B]Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Jardine. The judges are split; Keith Jardine gets 29-28 from the first, Rashad Evans gets 29-28 from the second, the third gives 29-28 to Keith Jardine.

Solid right hand from Silva connects, and that's the best moment of the opening minute of the round.

He ends up with his back to the cage, with Silva advancing. A sharp right misses, and Griffin takes the opportunity to pull Silva in to a tight clinch against the cage. Silva tries to break free, but cannot. It looks like we know the strategies for this round already; Silva wants to stand and bang, Griffin wants to keep things at close quarters. Silva tries for an elbow, but only succeeds in getting turned around so that he is now the one against the cage. Trip from Griffin, and we're down to the ground.

[/B] Round 3 Silva comes out fast and quickly backs Griffin up, all the way up against the cage.

Ufc 91 [B][U][SIZE="7"]UFC 91: Battle Of Brazil[/SIZE][/U][/B] UFC has signed Cung Le and another fighter to be named in the next few days. [B][U]Main Event[/U][/B] [B][U]Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Vs Gabriel Gonzaga[/U][/B] [B][U]FOR THE UFC HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE[/U][/B] Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is a never say die fighter who will fight until he cannont fight anymore. The only weakness NOG has is that he isn't great in the clinch, other than that he is almost the perfect fighter. He has held both the Pride Heavyweight title and currently he hold the UFC crown. He has beat most of the best HW fighters in the world, however there is one fighter he has lost twice to Fedor. Not much is known about Gab Gonzaga except the fact that he destroyed Cro Cop in devastating fashion. Since then he has seen his stock rise as a fighter. Some say Gonzaga is not ready to be the UFC Heavyweight champion with a win over NOG he will definitly be worthy. [B][U]Co-Feature[/U][/B] Randy Couture Vs Fabricio Werdum What can I say about Randy Couture that is not known to you all reading this? Perhaps I can tell of him being the only 5 time UFC champion? Or how he held titles in 2 weight divisions? Randy Couture is a legend in the UFC and is most likely the most popular fighter to ever step inside the octagon. All the great things aside Couture is 45 years old and this is major. Fabricio Werdum since comming back to the UFC is 2-0 and has won both fights in dominating fashion. The winner of this fight could get a title shot. [B][U]Support Bout[/U][/B] Fedor Emelianenko Vs Frank Mir I can't say much about Fedor Emelianenko other than the fact that he is most likely the greatest HW fighter in the world. He has beaten the best with ease, and many experts agree he is the cream of the crop. Will Fedor meet success in his first UFC octagon bout? or will he suffer the same fate Mirko Cro Cop did? Frank Mir once held the UFC HW belt and he would like nothing more than to have it around his waist once more. With a win over Fedor it will prove he is worthy of a title shot. [B][U]Prelim Bout[/U][/B] Shane Carwin Vs Antoni Hardonk Shane Carwin is 9-0 and has won all of his fights in dominating fashion. With hard work and dedication to his training regime he will one day soon be a force in the UFC HW division. Many feel that Antoni Hardonk doesn't deserve to fight the best. If he can get a win over Carwin it will prove to the fans that he is worthy to fight the best. It will also prove that he not Carwin is one of the next batch of fighters to be listed in title contention. [B][U]Opening Bout[/U][/B] Jake O'Brien Vs Heath Herring II Jake O'Brien is 10-1 in the world of MMA he will be fighting Heath Herring...for the 2nd time. O'Brien beat Herring at the ultimate fight night 8 by UD in what many thought could have went to either fighter. O'Brien's sole loss came by way of TKO to Andrei Arlovski. Heath Herring is a tough fighter who is 2-2 in the octagon. He is one of the most popular American fighters to fight in pride and always put on a show for fight fans.
