out and sign fighters that I don't think UFC really would). I'm using Tap or Snap 5 data. I will have a more detailed preview of UFC 84 up tomorrow. Please, feel free to leave your predictions. UFC 84: ILL WILL LAS VEGAS, NEVADA MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA MAIN EVENT UFC LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Sean Sherk (32-2-1) vs BJ Penn (12-4-1) © MAIN CARD Keith Jardine (13-3-1) vs Wanderlie Silva (31-8-1) Lyota Machida (12-0) vs Tito Ortiz (15-5-1) Wilson Gouveia (10-4) vs Goran Reljic (7-0) Antonio Mendes (14-2) vs Thiago Silva (12-0) PRELIMINARY CARD (Fights may or may not be televised) Kazuhiro Nakamura (11-7) vs Rameau Thierry Soukjdou (4-2) Rousimar Palhares (7-1) vs Ivan Salaverry (12-5) Jon Koppenhaver (5-1) vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida (9-2) Rich Clementi (31-12-1) vs Terry Etim (10-1) Dong Hyung Kim (9-0-1) vs Jason Tan (5-2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick Trick Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 UFC 84: ILL WILL Las Vegas, Nevada MGM Grand Garden Arena MAIN EVENT UFC LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Sean Sherk (32-2-1) vs BJ Penn (12-4-1) © Sherk is fighting a for a title he technically never lost. This is Sean's first fight back since he tested positive for steroid use after his UFC 73 victory over Hermes Franca (who also tested positive). Sherk was immediately suspended and stripped of the title that BJ Penn later won at UFC 80, over Joe "Daddy" Stevenson. There is a ton of bad blood going into this fight. Penn is calling Sherk a steroid freak where as Sherk is calling Penn a drug head for his alleged marijuana use. Either way, this has all the makings for a tremendous fight. Penn needs to finish this fight, and finish it quickly, as few people can hang with Sherk's cardio. Sherk will have to try and do what few men have done, and that's keep Penn down and not allow him to hook on a crazy submission. Prediction: Penn via submission in Round 2 LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT Keith Jardine (13-3-1) vs Wanderlie Silva (31-8-1) Wanderlei showed us all what he's made of at UFC 79 against Chuck Liddell. One of the most exciting fights in UFC history! The question is, can he bounce back from the loss to Liddell and make a run towards the Light Heavyweight title. He's got a tough fight ahead of him though in 'The Dean of Mean'. With wins over both Forrest Griffin and Chuck Liddell, it's a wonder how Jardine hasn't had a title shot yet. It may be due to his inconsistency as he has had a problem with stringing victories together. Jardine will have to repeat his game plan that he used to disable Liddell and Silva will have to use his aggressiveness to defeat Jardine. Prediction: Silva via TKO in Round 1 LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT Lyota Machida (12-0) vs Tito Ortiz (15-5-1) Dana has officially announced that this will be the last time that Tito fights in the UFC: win, lose, or draw. The hand picked opponent that has the task of making sure that's a loss is karate expert Lyota Machida. Machida has burst onto the scene with wins over Sam Hoger, David Heath, Kazuhiro Nakamura, and Sokoudjou. He might not have the most exciting fight style, but he gets the win, taking very minimal damage. Ortiz has had a storied past with the UFC. Tito is a former Light Heavyweight champion, who held the belt for more than three years, and he's looking to escape from the clutches of Dana White having had the last laugh. Prediction: Machida via unanimous decision LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT Wilson Gouveia (10-4) vs Goran Reljic (7-0) Both fighters are relatively unknown, but have both put on impressive winning streaks. Gouveia is 4-1 with the UFC, having strung together four wins in a row after a loss to Keith Jardine. Reljic is a jiu-jitsu fighter who comes in making his UFC debut undefeated. The winner of this fight very well may open some eyes for the rest of the Light Heavyweight division. Prediction: Reljic via submission in Round 2 LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT Antonio Mendes (14-2) vs Thiago Silva (12-0) This should be an exciting fight. Mendes comes in bringing an eleven fight win streak as he hopes to make it twelve with his UFC debut. The brazilian has sick Muay Thai that Thiago will have to watch out for. Thiago is undefeated in his career and in the UFC, with wins over James Irvin, Tomasz Drwal, and Houston Alexander. With another win, Thiago could fight one of the Light Heavyweight elite's for a championship opportunity. Prediction: Silva via TKO in Round 3 PRELIMINARY CARD (Fights may or may not be televised) Kazuhiro Nakamura (11-7) vs Rameau Thierry Soukjdou (4-2) Rousimar Palhares (7-1) vs Ivan Salaverry (12-5) Jon Koppenhaver (5-1) vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida (9-2) Rich Clementi (31-12-1) vs Terry Etim (10-1) Dong Hyung Kim (9-0-1) vs Jason Tan (5-2) Predictions are welcomed, also, what pick the awards that you think will be given out (Fight of the Night, Submission of the Fight, and Knockout of the Night).

Quick Trick Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Like I mentioned earlier, I had already posted UFC 84 and I have no idea where it wouldn't. I already deleted the reports for it, so I'll just post a quick recap. Sorry about that. UFC 84: ILL WILL Las Vegas, Nevada Grand Garden Arena PRELIMINARY CARD *Shane Carwin defeats Christian Wellisch via unanimous decision *Dong Hyun Kim defeats Jason Tan via TKO in 1:42 of Round 1 *Rich Clementi defeats Terry Etim via submission in 2:40 of Round 1 *Yoshiyuki Yoshida defeats Jon Koppenhaver via unanimous decision *Ivan Salaverry defeats Rousimar Palhares via unanimous decision *Rameau Thierry Sokoukjdou defeats Kazuhiro Nakamura via KO in 0:18 of Round 1 MAIN CARD *Thiago Silva defeats Antonio Mendes via submission in 3:44 of Round 3 *Wilson Gouveai defeats Goran Reljic via unanimous decision *Tito Ortiz defeats Lyota Machida via TKO in 1:58 of Round 1 *Wanderlei Silva defeats Keith Jardine via TKO in 2:40 of Round 1 *BJ Penn defeats Sean Sherk via submission in 4:45 of Round 1 to RETAIN THE UFC LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Attendance: 19,150 Fight of the Night: Wilson Gouveai vs Goran Reljic Submission of the Night: BJ Penn Knockout of the Night: Wanderle Silva Announcements: *Tito Ortiz was not allowed at the press conference following his final match with UFC. Knowing this, Tito still tried to go on stage and had to be escorted off the premises by security. Dana White also refused to answer any questions about Tito besides him saying that Tito will never work for him again or the UFC. *Chuck Liddell may be ready from his hamstring injury by either UFC 88 or 89. The opponent being discussed to fight him could be UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva. Anderson has been pretty outspoken this past year about getting his feet wet in the Light Heavyweight division. We will keep you posted on this story. *August's card, UFC 87, from Minnesota has four fights that can be confirmed: -Jon Fitch vs Georges St. Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Title -Mark Coleman vs Brock Lesner -Roger Huerta vs Kenny Florian -Andrei Arlovski vs Heath Herring *Matt Hughes hopes to end his fight with Thiago Alves next month injury free so he can fight Matt Serra later on this year.

The match was rated as being Very Poor. Two big wins for Werdum, the other being against Gonzaga, and that definitely puts him a little closer to the title. Not sure where this puts Vera. He's been extremely disappointing his last two fights and has been a totally different fighter than the Vera who burst upon the scene. >'The Irish Hand Grenade' Marcus Davis squares off with 'Quick' Mike Swick in the UFC Welterweight division. >And here we go! >Backing out of range, Davis circles tentatively. >Swick comes in closer to press the issue. >Swick throws a couple of jabs, then chooses to shoot in on Davis. >Davis not only defends the takedown, he reverses it and takes Swick down! >Davis tries to stand up, but Swick keeps him firmly in guard. >Swick tries to ensare Davis in a triangle. >Davis defends well against it. >Davis tries to stand up, but Swick keeps him firmly in guard. >Swick attempts to secure an arm. >Davis gets caught in a kimura...and has no choice but to tap out! >The winner, by Submission; Mike Swick! >Official Result: 'Quick' Mike Swick defeats 'The Irish Hand Grenade' Marcus Davis (Submission in 2:40 of round 1). The match was rated as being Great. We expected fireworks and they both delivered. Swick gets a much needed win over a top competitor and hopefully this will make him stick out a little more in the deep Welterweight division. Davis did the best he could do, he still was entertaining as usual. 'Sugar' Rashad Evans squares off with 'The Sandman' James Irvin in the UFC Light Heavyweight division. >And here we go! >Evans comes in, looking for a quick takedown. >Evans is surprised by a vicious countering uppercut, but he avoids it at the last second. >Evans comes in closer, looking to wrestle with Irvin. >Not wanting to grapple, Irvin uses strikes to keep Evans at a distance. >A couple of quick punches are used to set up a takedown attempt from Evans. >Evans gets caught with a punch though, and his wobbly legs can't support him...down he goes! >Irvin dives in from the side and looks to finish the match with strikes. >Irvin rains down bombs on Evans, but he somehow manages to withstand the barrage. >Irvin winds up in half guard. >In half guard, Irvin throws a couple of punches designed to keep Evans guessing. >Evans moves so that Irvin is now in full guard, not half guard. >Irvin throws a few weak-looking punches as he decides on his next move. >Evans goes for the sweep from the bottom of the guard. >Evans sweeps Irvin over, breaking guard, and they both end up scrambling back to their feet. >We are now at the halfway point of the round. >Irvin catches Evans with a crisp jab. >Irvin sees a body kick coming and hits a solid jab. >We're into the final minute of the round. >Evans comes in, looking for a quick takedown. >A counter punch catches Evans hard, putting him down! >Irvin is quick to seize the chance and tries to get side control. >Evans grabs Irvin into a tight clinch on the floor, preventing any strikes from being thrown for now. >Irvin throws a few weak-looking punches as he decides on his next move. >The time is up, and that's the end of round one. >I'd say that was definitely 10-9 in favour of Irvin. >We are back underway! >Between rounds, his corner told Irvin to be aggressive and really let his hands go. >Evans counters a flurry of punches by hitting a jab. >Evans uses a jab to keep Irvin back. >Evans hits a kick to the body. >Evans somehow doesn't go down, despite taking a huge punch from Irvin! >Evans throws a flurry of punches but Irvin steps back and avoids them. >Irvin circles around Evans. >Not letting Irvin settle at all, Evans comes in closer. >We move into the second half of this round. >Evans waits for a flurry of punches to stop, then hits a swift leg kick. >Irvin uses a right hook, but misses. >Evans presses in closer to attack. >James Irvin is looking really tired. >Evans uses a combination of three punches to get Irvin to cover up, then shoots in looking for a takedown. >Irvin cannot stop the takedown, and only catches Evans in half guard. >Evans is trying to get out of half guard and into a better position. >Evans shows his skill, slipping from half guard straight into a mount with minimum fuss. >There's under a minute left in this round. >Evans pounds away from the mount, Irvin is barely able to offer any defence at all! >The referee pulls Evans away, stopping the match! >The winner, by TKO; Rashad Evans! >Official Result: 'Sugar' Rashad Evans defeats 'The Sandman' James Irvin (TKO in 4:39 of round 2). The match was rated as being Fantastic. Awesome fight between these two game opponents. Irvin almost had Evans finished in the first, but he weathered the storm and was able to impose his will on Irvin in round 2. Great fight and great win for Evans. >The co-main event is up next. 'The Count' Michael Bisping goes up against 'The Crippler' Chris Leben in the UFC Middleweight division. >Round one begins! >Leben switches stances, throws a speculative punch, then switches right back again. >Not letting Leben settle, Bisping moves in closer. >Bisping shoots in, looking for a takedown. >The takedown is successful, Leben pulls guard. >Bisping pounds away with punches from the guard, but doesn't really do a great deal of damage. >Leben tries to pull Bisping in close and pepper him with short strikes, but can't. >The clock runs down as Leben is being smothered against the ground by Bisping. >Bisping pounds away with punches, but doesn't do much damage, if any, Leben is comfortable holding guard. >Bisping leans back to avoid a couple of wild swings from Leben. >We pass the halfway mark of this round. >Bisping fires off a handful of punches, each easily being blocked with gloves. >Bisping deflects a couple of punches that Leben threw from below. >Bisping looks to get past the guard. >Bisping is too much for Leben, passing guard and gaining side control. >Bisping fires away with punches, but Leben deals with them fairly well. >The end of the round is coming quick, there's under a minute left. >Bisping starts trying to work to use side control as a way to get behind Leben. >He shows excellent control to move Leben over and take his back. >Bisping fires away with punches, and Leben is stung by several big shots. >Bisping unloads with big punches, landing several that clearly hurt Leben. >Bisping unloads with some big punches, but Leben deals with them comfortably. >Time expires and we come to the end of round one. >I think Bisping took that round, 10-9 on my score card. >There's the bell and round number two begins! >Bisping stings Leben with a series of quick punches. >Bisping scores with a solid jab. >Bisping avoids a series of wayward big punches and counters with a flurry of quick punches to sting Leben. >Bisping attacks Leben with a series of quick jabs. >Bisping hits a crisp jab. >A speculative waist-high kick by Leben finds nothing but air. >Bisping steps in closer to force the issue. >We pass the halfway mark of this round. >Bisping shoots in for a takedown. >The takedown is completed, Leben is on his back and pulls guard. >Bisping begins trying to pass the guard. >He does excellently, getting past the guard and into side control. >Bisping holds Leben in position with side control and hits a knee into the ribs. >Stuck under side control, Leben takes a knee to the ribs. >We're into the final minute of the round. >Bisping pounds away on Leben, but few of the shots lands clean. >In side control, Bisping throws a couple of punches designed to keep Leben guessing. >Leben tries to sweep Bisping but can't. >Time expires and we come to the end of round two. >I have to give that round to Bisping, but only a 10-9. >We are back underway! >Between rounds, his corner told Leben to take it to Bisping in this round. >Leben steps back to avoid a barrage of big punches. >Leben slips out of the way of a flurry of strikes. >Bisping throws a jab but Leben avoids it. >Michael Bisping looks very tired out there. >Leben steps back to avoid a flurry of punches. >Leben hits a barrage of big punches on Bisping and knocks him down! >Leben dives in from the side and looks to finish the match with strikes. >Leben starts raining down punches...but Bisping manages to cover up and survive the onslaught. >Leben winds up in side control. >Leben relinquishes side control, stands and backs off, wanting the fight to continue standing. >We move into the second half of this round. >Bisping tries for a series of strikes but Leben moves out of range. >Bisping catches an oncoming Leben with a crisp jab. >A speculative waist-high kick by Leben finds nothing but air. >Bisping comes in closer to press the issue. >We move into the final sixty seconds of this round. >A tired-looking Bisping approaches, looking for a takedown. >Leben not only defends the takedown, he reverses it and takes Bisping down! >Leben tries to pass the guard. >Bisping is ready for the attempt though, and keeps Leben firmly in guard. >Time runs out and that's the end of the fight. >I have to give that round to Leben, but only a 10-9. >The judges have given their scores, which are about to be announced. >Judge #1 has scored it 29-28 Bisping. >Judge #2 gives a score of 29-28 in favour of Bisping. >Judge #3 has scored it 29-28 Bisping. >Making 'The Count' Michael Bisping the winner by unanimous decision! >Official Result: 'The Count' Michael Bisping defeats 'The Crippler' Chris Leben (Unanimous Decision in 5:00 of round 3). The match was rated as being Good. Bisping looked great his first two rounds, but was lazy the last, letting Leben win it. Leben was quite emotionally after the fight stating he was in the best shape of his life. Bisping is now 2-0 in the Middleweight division and wants a big name in the Middleweight division to fight next. British fans loved him tonight. >It's time for the main event of the evening! 'Pitbull' Thiago Alves will take on Matt Hughes in the UFC Welterweight division. >The fight begins! >Alves hits Hughes with a nice jab. >Hughes gets hit with a crisp jab. >Alves shoots in for a takedown. >Hughes looks to grab a guillotine off the takedown. >Alves has the takedown! Hughes has applied the guillotine choke though! >Hughes gets the guillotine fully applied and Alves has to tap out! >The winner, by Submission, is Matt Hughes! >Official Result: Matt Hughes defeats 'Pitbull' Thiago Alves (Submission in 1:36 of round 1). The match was rated as being Great. Old school Hughes tonight. He said he wasn't hurt during the fight, so hopefully he can get his hands on Serra sooner rather than later. Hopefully this fight will be excellent experience for young Thiago Alves. We will see him again and I believe he'll be even better which is scary.

I plan on doing something completely different for Season 8, so stay tuned. For your info, before you read, realize that the only cast mates from Season 7 (in my game, not real life) that I chose to put on the finale are as followed: CB Dollaway, Gerald Harris, Paul Bradley, Lyman Good, Dustin Denes, Dan Molina, and Anthony Waldburger. The Ultimate Fighter Season 7 Finale Las Vegas, Nevada The Pearl at the Palms PRELIMINARY CARD *Rob Kimmons defeats Rob Yundt via unanimous decision *Dean Lister defeats Jeremy Horn via submission in 2:13 of Round 3 *Anthony Waldburger defeats Matt Arroyo via submission in 4:20 of Round 3 *Drew McFedries defeats Marvin Eastman via knock out in 0:12 of Round 3 *Lyman Good defeats Dustin Denes via unanimous decision *Josh Burkman defeats Dustin Hazelett via submission in 0:43 of Round 3 MAIN CARD >Paul Bradley competes against Dan Molina in the UFC Middleweight division. >And here we go! >Bradley keeps out of range, assessing the situation. >Not letting Bradley settle, Molina moves in closer. >There's a takedown attempt from Molina. >Bradley stuffs the takedown attempt, but can't do anything about being pushed up against the cage. >With Bradley stuck against the cage, Molina tries to complete a takedown. >Molina has to struggle for it, but is eventually rewarded with the takedown. >Molina tries to smother Bradley, but he squirms free. >Molina can't control Bradley, who scoots them both backward until they are resting against the side of the cage. >Using the cage, Bradley stands up. Molina still has control though. >Molina looks for a trip takedown. >Bradley does his best to fight it off, but Molina eventually succeeds with the takedown. >We go past the halfway point of this round. >Molina throws a few half-hearted punches as he takes a moment to plan ahead. >Molina unloads with some big punches, but Bradley deals with them comfortably. >Bradley tries to get double underhooks on Molina so that he can get some control, but can't get them. >In guard, Molina throws a couple of punches designed to keep Bradley guessing. >Molina begins trying to pass the guard. >Bradley is ready for the attempt though, and keeps Molina firmly in guard. >Bradley wriggles backward, taking both him and Molina back toward the side of the cage. >Using the cage for support, Bradley manages to stand up, bringing Molina up too. >The time runs out on round one. >I'd say that was definitely 10-9 in favour of Molina. >We are back underway! >Bradley looks like he might be trying to get in close and wrestle with Molina. >Bradley can't get close enough to grapple, Molina makes sure to keep out of range. >Dan Molina doesn't look like he has much left in the tank. >A quick exchange of strikes produces nothing worth mentioning. >Moving in closer, Bradley looks like he may want to wrestle Molina. >Bradley cannot get close enough to the elusive Molina to grapple. >Bradley throws a combination but doesn't do any damage. >Time slips away as Molina doesn't press Bradley, allowing him to circle. >We've now passed the halfway mark in this round. >Bradley does some damage with a barrage of big punches on Molina! >Bradley looks like he might be trying to get in close and wrestle with Molina. >He pulls Molina into a grapple. >Bradley is looking to muscle Molina back against the cage. >Bradley achieves it, pinning Molina to the cage. >Dan Molina looks very, very tired. >Bradley smothers Molina against the cage, keeping solid control for about thirty seconds. >Bradley keeps Molina up against the cage with wrestling, getting thirty seconds or more of solid control. >There's under a minute left in this round. >Bradley moves back from the grapple and looks ready to strike. >Bradley counters a punch by hitting a crisp punch. >Time expires and we come to the end of round two. >That has to go down as a 10-9 round to Bradley. >There's the bell and round number three begins! >Bradley looks to be trying to close the distance between them. >Not keen on wrestling Bradley, Molina uses movement to keep out of reach. >Bradley narrowly misses Molina with an uppercut. >Molina doesn't press the issue, allowing Bradley to circle. >Bradley narrowly misses Molina with an uppercut. >The fight slows as Molina sits back and allows Bradley to circle. >Bradley keeps Molina back with a crisp jab. >Bradley comes in, looking for a quick takedown. >He has the takedown! Molina pulls guard. >We pass the halfway mark of this round. >Bradley gets up out of guard and backs off, allowing Molina time to stand too. >Bradley waits for a flurry of punches to stop, then hits a crisp jab. >Dan Molina looks like he is almost out on his feet with exhaustion. >Bradley counters a wayward jab with a series of hard punches! >We're into the final minute of the round. >Bradley hits a jab. >Bradley keeps out of range, assessing the situation. >Molina doesn't press the issue, allowing Bradley to circle. >Paul Bradley is breathing very hard. >The fight comes to an end as the time limit expires. >That round goes to Bradley, 10-9 on my card. >The official scores are being reported now. >Judge #1: 29-28 Bradley. >Judge #2 gives a score of 29-28 in favour of Bradley. >Judge #3 gives a score of 29-28 in favour of Bradley. >Bradley wins by unanimous decision! >Official Result: Paul Bradley defeats Dan Molina (Unanimous Decision in 5:00 of round 3). The match was rated as being Poor. It wasn't pretty, but Paul Bradley is able to gain a win over the man who annoyed him the most in the TUF house. Molina started out strong, but was unable to keep up with Bradley's cardio. >'The King' Spencer Fisher competes against Hermes Franca in the UFC Lightweight division. >The fight begins! >Franca comes in with a couple of jabs, using them as cover so that he can shoot in. >He has the takedown! Fisher pulls guard. >Franca begins trying to pass guard and get a better position. >Fisher finds his opponent too skilled, and Franca passes guard into side control. >Franca tries to slip behind and take the back. >Fisher is in big trouble as he is forced to give up his back! >Franca tries to hook Fisher in a rear naked choke. >The rear naked choke is in deep, Fisher has to tap out! >Hermes Franca takes the win by Submission! >Official Result: Hermes Franca defeats 'The King' Spencer Fisher (Submission in 2:02 of round 1). The match was rated as being Fantastic. Dominate win for Franca over the very game Fisher. This was Hermes first fight back since being suspended from steroid use, and he looked very, very solid. He'll need to fight someone a little more elite than Fisher to get back in the Lightweight championship running. >Luigi Fioravanti battles 'Nightmare' Diego Sanchez in the UFC Welterweight division. >And here we go! >There's a takedown attempt from Sanchez. >He has the takedown! Fioravanti pulls guard. >Fioravanti is controlled against the ground, unable to shift Sanchez off of him. >The clock runs down as Fioravanti is being smothered against the ground by Sanchez. >Time slips away as Sanchez successfully keeps Fioravanti stuck against the ground. >Sanchez unloads with big punches from the guard, and Fioravanti is struggling to cope! >Sanchez lies on top of Fioravanti, basically smothering him. >We go past the halfway point of this round. >Sanchez starts trying to work to get past the guard. >He does excellently, getting past the guard and into side control. >Sanchez tries to get into the mount position. >Sanchez shifts to mount. >We're into the final minute of the round. >Sanchez attempts to set up an americana on Fioravanti from the mount. >Sanchez gets the americana locked, moves to side control for leverage, and Fioravanti has to tap! >'Nightmare' Diego Sanchez takes the win by Submission! >Official Result: 'Nightmare' Diego Sanchez defeats Luigi Fioravanti (Submission in 4:36 of round 1). The match was rated as being Good. How nightmarish did Diego look tonight? It had been a while since we had seen that type of desire come from Diego. Huge win for him tonight, no telling who Diego will fight next. >The co-main event is up next. This is for the Season 7 Ultimate Fighter Championship. 'The Doberman' CB Dollaway will take on Gerald Harris in the UFC Middleweight division. >We are underway! >Harris shoots in, looking for a takedown. >Harris doesn't get the takedown, Dollaway was equal to it and pulls them into a clinch. >Dollaway tries to take Harris down from the grapple. >Harris blocks the takedown attempt and takes control of the grapple. >Dollaway smothers Harris when he tries to use some dirty boxing, and gains the upper hand in the grapple as a result. >Dollaway is trying to muscle Harris up against the cage. >He does so, and now has Harris pinned to the cage. >With Harris stuck against the cage, Dollaway tries to complete a takedown. >Dollaway struggles at first, but once he manages to get a good grip Harris is unable to do anything further to stop the takedown. >Dollaway throws a few strikes, but they are without venom. >Harris attempts to guillotine Dollaway from the bottom of the guard. >Harris uses the guillotine hold to sweep into side control. >Raising up slightly, Harris looks to hit a knee strike. >Harris gets caught - as soon as he was off balance Dollaway was able to sweep him into side control! >We've now passed the halfway mark in this round. >Dollaway fires off a few punches, but they aren't thrown with any great force. >Dollaway throws a few strikes, but they are without venom. >Dollaway blocks an attempted sweep. >The end of the round is coming quick, there's under a minute left. >Dollaway throws a few punches, but they appear to be more of a prelude to something bigger. >Dollaway blocks Harris as he tries a sweep from side control. >Dollaway fires off a few punches as he catches his breath. >Dollaway begins trying to get himself into a mount. >He can't quite manage to get to mount on this attempt. >Round one is brought to an end as time runs out. >That has to go down as a 10-9 round to Dollaway. >Round two begins! >Between rounds, his corner told Dollaway to watch for strikes but to be aware of takedown opportunities. >They come together and strike, but neither can get past the gloves of the other. >Harris uses a combination of three punches to get Dollaway to cover up, then shoots in looking for a takedown. >A good sprawl stops the takedown, and Harris is brought down to the mat in a loose front facelock. >Dollaway pounds away on Harris, landing several good shots to the side of the head in the process. >Dollaway pounds away with punches, hitting several big shots to the body and side of the head. >Dollaway pounds away on the body and side of the head, Harris struggles to deal with them. >Harris springs back to his feet, albeit at the expense of a few punches to the body and head. >Harris avoids a quick jab and hits a jab to the cheek. >We pass the halfway mark of this round. >Harris uses the jab. >Harris scores with a series of quick punches. >Harris throws a couple of jabs, then chooses to shoot in on Dollaway. >Harris doesn't get the takedown, Dollaway was equal to it and pulls them into a clinch. >We move into the final sixty seconds of this round. >Dollaway tries to take Harris down from the grapple. >Dollaway doesn't get the takedown, Harris instead wrestles his way into controlling the grapple. >CB Dollaway doesn't look like he has much left in the tank. >From the grapple, Harris tries a takedown. >The takedown doesn't work, Dollaway defended it well. >Harris attempts to take down Dollaway from the grapple. >The takedown is successful; Dollaway seemed happy to take it and pull guard. >Harris punches down at Dollaway, but they are easily taken on the gloves. >Time expires and we come to the end of round two. >I have to give that round to Dollaway, but only a 10-9. >There's the bell for the start of the round! >Harris avoids a quick jab and hits a jab to the cheek. >Harris counters a jab by hitting a flurry of jabs and straight punches. >Harris uses a combination of three punches to get Dollaway to cover up, then shoots in looking for a takedown. >The takedown doesn't work, Dollaway sprawled to defend it and then works into a clinch position. >Gerald Harris is looking really tired. >Using his wrestling skills, Dollaway is trying to push Harris up against the cage. >Dollaway manages it, and controls Harris up against the cage. >Dollaway pins Harris up against the cage and controls him for almost a full minute. >CB Dollaway seems to be fighting against exhaustion. >We are now at the halfway point of the round. >Dollaway pins Harris up against the cage and controls him for thirty seconds or so. >Dollaway looks to try and maintain control via his wrestling skills, but Harris proves too good and manages to turn them around so that he is in the dominant position. >From the looks of things, I don't think Gerald Harris has much energy left. >Harris tries to take Dollaway down. >Dollaway does his best to fight it off, but Harris eventually succeeds with the takedown. >We're into the final minute of the round. >Harris starts trying to work to get past the guard. >He finds himself unable to pass guard on this attempt. >The fight comes to an end as the time limit expires. >I'd say that was definitely 10-9 in favour of Dollaway. >Here come the official scores. >Judge #1 scores the match as 30-27 to Dollaway. >Judge #2 scores the match as 30-27 to Dollaway. >Judge #3 has given 30-27 to Dollaway. >Making 'The Doberman' CB Dollaway the winner by unanimous decision! >Official Result: 'The Doberman' CB Dollaway defeats Gerald Harris (Unanimous Decision in 5:00 of round 3). The match was rated as being Decent. CB Dollaway becomes this season's Ultimate Fighter. He puts on a great display of his wrestling and gets the win from the judge's score fairly easily. Gerald Harris hung in there though. He showed a lot of heart in his loss and with the proper training, could be a scary fighter in the UFC middleweight division. As for Dollaway, he says he wants to get into the octagon again as soon as possible, so we'll see what happens. >It's time for the main event of the evening! 'Da Spyder' Kendall Grove goes up against Evan Tanner in the UFC Middleweight division. >Round one begins! >Grove steps back to avoid a jab. >Tanner catches a weak leg kick and uses it to go for a takedown, getting it! Grove pulls half guard. >In half guard, Tanner begins working to get side control. >Grove doesn't let Tanner get his leg free, and so half guard remains in place. >Grove reaches over and tries to lock Tanner in a guillotine. >Tanner blocks it. >Tanner tries to lock Grove into an arm triangle. >Grove stops Tanner from applying it. >Grove tries to ensare Tanner in a guillotine. >Tanner defends it well. >We are now at the halfway point of the round. >Tanner tries to ensare Grove in an arm triangle. >Grove blocks it. >Grove attempts to guillotine Tanner from the bottom of half guard. >Tanner defends it well. >In half guard, Tanner begins working to get side control. >Grove comfortably blocks the attempt and keeps Tanner in half guard. >Grove tries to ensare an arm. >Tanner fends off Grove, and doesn't give up an arm. >We're into the final minute of the round. >Tanner begins trying to get his leg free of the half guard. >Grove doesn't let Tanner get his leg free, and so half guard remains in place. >The time runs out on round one. >I'd say that was definitely 10-9 in favour of Tanner. >Round two begins! >A quick exchange of strikes produces nothing worth mentioning. >Tanner gets caught with a series of quick punches and has to back off. >Tanner looks to be trying to close the distance between them. >Tanner grabs Grove and pulls him into a grapple. >Tanner tries to take Grove down from the grapple. >Tanner gets the takedown! Grove pulls guard. >Tanner looks to pass guard and get side control. >He finds himself unable to pass guard on this attempt. >Grove attempts to guillotine Tanner from the bottom of the guard. >The guillotine is locked in, tight enough that Tanner has to tap out! >By Submission, the winner is Grove! >Official Result: 'Da Spyder' Kendall Grove defeats Evan Tanner (Submission in 3:01 of round 2). The match was rated as being Great. The crowd loves Evan Tanner, even in defeat. The fight was going his way up until the very end. He held his neck out in the open for the Season 3 TUF winner, Grove to lock in an extra deep guillotine. Two losses, back to back for Tanner since his return. He looked better in this outing than he did his previous one against Okami, but it's hard to say when or if he'll fight again in the UFC. Grove quite possibly saved his job with this victory. He had lost his last two fights where his 'heart' and 'desire' was starting to be asked about. Grove definitely showed great heart to weather the seasoned veteran's attacks and sneak out with a win. Attendance: 5,054 Fight of the Night: CB Dollaway vs Gerald Harris Submission of the Night: Kendall Grove Knockout of the Night: Drew McFedries Announcements: *Season 7 goofball, Lyman Good, tested positive for steroid use during his post fight drug test. Good, who defeated Dustin Denes during the preliminary card on Saturday night via unanimous decision, will forfeit a certain percentage of his purse and will serve a one year suspension for his conduct. Dustin Denes has filed a complaint against his loss to the Nevada State Athletic Commission asking them to overturn the decision. *Congratulations to CB Dollaway, Season 7's Ultimate Fighter. *Randy Couture continues to be a poor sport after his now second retirement. Couture says he will be writing his second autobiography and will be shedding the whole truth about Dana White and the rest of the UFC and how he was so mistreated. *Along the same line, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueiro is finally being recognized as the UFC Heavyweight champion and not just an Interim Champ. Nogueiro will begin filming the upcoming Season 8 of The Ultimate Fighter against rival coach Frank Mir. The season will feature Light Heavyweights and Lightweights. ***ATTENTION ALL READERS For this next season of the Ultimate Fighter, I want your help. I do not want my diary to become like some of the ones from WMMA 1 where it's full of fighters doing there own interviews, so I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN!!! Instead, all I'm asking for are the following: Name: Nickname: Height: Fighting Out Of: Light Heavyweight (first 8 only) or Lightweight (first 8 only) What Fighter in Real Life Will Your Fighter Look Like: What Fighter Will He Fight Like: Fighting Style: That's it! I'd rather not have any other info so I can add my own creativity to it. Also, if I think a name or a character is too goofy, I will choose not to use it, sorry!!! The way this will work, is I will import everyone, but I will do the actually show fights from the WMMA2 quick match feature from the front page. I will do this until the finals and then of course, I will have the top 2 Light Heavyweights and the top 2 Lightweights fight for the TUF championships. Keep in my mind, I will probably only hire about 3-4 when the show is completed, so do not get your feelings hurt. I will post what happened on every episode right before the TUF Season 8 Finale. Thanks and I look forward to using your fighters. PS-If there are not enough people to sign up, I will allow (after I give the okay) for people to donate more than one fighter. Previews for the next three events will be up next, so please predict and don't forget to predict who you think will get the awards for the evening as well.

The match was rated as being Average. Great win here for Tyson Griffin. This fight did not feel like a three round, fifteen minute fight. It was very fast paced and very back and forth.

The match was rated as being Fantastic. Very dominating performance by Kos, making quick work over the highly experienced, Lytle. He made this fight look way too easy. He actually made Lytle look horrible on the ground, but Koscheck was just too good, as Lytle is actually a black belt in jiu-jitsu. Great win for Kos. >Next up is a match in which Gleison Tibau battles 'Daddy' Joe Stevenson in the UFC Lightweight division. >The fight begins! >Stevenson gets caught with a series of quick punches and has to back off. >Tibau hits a flurry of quick punches on Stevenson. >Tibau fires off a looping punch, but Stevenson avoids it. >Not letting Tibau settle, Stevenson moves in closer. >Stevenson shoots in, looking for a takedown. >The takedown doesn't work, Tibau stuffed it. >Tibau counters a punch by hitting a nice sequence of jabs. >We've now passed the halfway mark in this round. >Tibau scores with a solid jab. >Stevenson tries for a series of strikes but Tibau moves out of range. >Stevenson chooses to shoot in on Tibau. >Tibau stuffs the takedown, so Stevenson has to settle for pushing him up against the cage. >Stevenson tries to smother him against the cage with wrestling, but can't keep control of Tibau who is fighting it. >There's under a minute left in this round. >Stevenson tries to take Tibau down. >Tibau does his best to fight it off, but Stevenson eventually succeeds with the takedown. >Stevenson tries to pass the guard. >He can't quite manage to get past guard on this attempt. >The time runs out on round one. >That round goes to Tibau, 10-9 on my card. >We are back underway!

>Official Result: Gleison Tibau defeats 'Daddy' Joe Stevenson (Unanimous Decision in 5:00 of round 3). The match was rated as being Average. Did Tibau really put on that great of a show or was something wrong with Stevenson tonight? Stevenson's first fight back since losing to Penn for the Lightweight title and he really needed to make a statement that he could hang with the elite in the division, but Tibau destroyed him tonight. Not to take anything away from Gleison, this was just very uncharacteristic of Stevenson. >The co-main event is up next.

The match was rated as being Good. In a fight that had Middleweight title implications all around it, Patrick Cote prevails to be the victor. Cote looked great against BJJ expert Almeida. Ricardo had a great first round, but got hit hard in the second which he seemed never to be able to recover from. Cote moves up another step, another step closer to fighting the champ. >It's time for the main event of the evening!

ATTENDANCE: 11,988 Fight of the Night: Forrest Griffin vs Quinton Jackson Submission of the Night: Gabriel Gonzaga Knockout of the Night: Melvin Guillard ANNOUNCEMENTS: *Believe it or not, but Dana has made it known that the UFC is again interested in Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. Cro Cop was seen as a huge bust, coming over to the states after such a great career over in Japan. His record during his UFC days was 1-2. He has since went over to the DREAM organization in Japan and has put a record of 2-0. Who knows if a deal will be struck or not. *Another potential heavyweight that may sign with the UFC is none other than IFL veteran, Ben Rothwell. *UFC 89 will again make it's return over to England. Michael Bisping is the only fighter confirmed for the event. *The new Ultimate Fighter winner, CB Dollaway has been confirmed for the next Ultimate Fight Night against an unnamed opponent. Also confirmed for that card: -Josh Neer vs Nate Diaz -Clay Guida vs Mac Danzig -Houston Alexander vs Eric Schafer ***THANKS to everyone who offered a fighter for the upcoming season of the Ultimate Fighter. Astyn can still get in a lightweight, but I'll go ahead and close that part of it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
