Round 1

We are underway! Belfort throws three punches in quick succession, but Lombard was out of range. Belfort ends up grabbing Lombard in a Muay Thai clinch. Lombard wrestles free of the Muay Thai clinch after blocking a knee strike. The time is up, and that´s the end of round one. There are some audible boos from the crowd, that wasn´t the most exciting round we´ve ever seen. There was very little to separate them in that round, but i´ll give that one 10-9 to Lombard.

Round 2

There´s the bell and round number two begins! Advancing, Lombard counters a right jab by using a clean jab. Lombard comes in, looking for a quick takedown. The takedown is successful, Belfort couldn´t quite stay on his feet. Lombard tries to lock Belfort in a choke. Belfort fights off the guillotine attempt. Belfort, trapped against the cage, pummels Lombard on the back with several small shots, although they´re more out of frustration than anything. The referee decides that there is a lack of progress being made and separates them. Round two ends as time expires. That was a yawner of a round, and I think both fighters are now a bit frustrated. I´d say that was definitely 10-9 in favour of Lombard.

Round 3

There´s the bell and round number three begins! Standing in the pocket, Lombard chooses to shoot in for a double leg on Belfort. The takedown is successful, Belfort pulls guard. The fight comes to an end as the time limit expires. That has to go down as a 10-9 round to Lombard.

So the winner, by unanimous decision, is Hector 'Shango' Lombard!

Main Event

Light Heavyweight Bout: Rashad Evans (18-3-1) vs. Mauricio Shogun (21-8)

Round 1

And here we go! Evans chooses to shoot in on Shogun. Shogun sees the takedown coming and tries to move. Evans doesn´t get the takedown, Shogun avoided it. Standing in the pocket, Evans catches an attempted body kick and goes for the takedown, and gets it! Shogun pulls guard. Shogun grabs hold of an arm and attempts a triangle choke on Evans from the bottom of the guard. In a show of great skill, Evans spins out of the triangle attempt and gains side control. Evans attempts the mount. He easily gets the mount. Time expires and we come to the end of round one. That has to go down as a 10-9 round to Evans.

Round 2

We are back underway! Shogun feints going high and then throws a barrage of big rights, with Evans only just able to evade them. A jab misses and Shogun counters with two big right hands! Backing off, Evans looks very wobbly, I think he may be hurt! Evams counters with a takedown, and Shogun is forced to pull guard. Shogun tries to ensnare an arm. In a moment of sublime skill, Evans not only defends the submission but uses it to get to side control. Shogun takes a crunching knee strikes to the ribs from under side control!

Evans counters an attempt by Shogun to him from mount by taking his back! Evans tries to lock Shogun in an armbar. Shogun pulls his arm free at the last second, and is able to secure side control over Evans. The time runs out on round two. I think Evans took that round, 10-9 on my score card.

Round 3

There´s the bell for the start of the round! With underhooks giving him solid control over Shogun, Evans looks for a takedown. Shogun cannot stop being lifted up and blasted with a Greco-Roman slam, he can only pull guard! In guard, Evans begins working to pass to side control. He passes the guard well, gaining side control. Evans tries to put Shogun into an Americana. Shogun blocks it. Mauricio Rua seems to be fighting against exhaustion. Evans unloads with big right hands from side control, and Shogun is struggling to cope! Evans gets the arm triangle fully applied! No! Shogun manages to break free. Clearly the hold couldn´t have beem as tight as it looked. The time runs out on round three. That has to go down as a 10-9 round to Evans

Round 4

We are back underway! Between rounds we could hear the corner of Shogun telling him to swing for the fences. Mauricio Rua looks totally gassed. Evans sees a chance for a takedown attempted, and Shogun, caught by surprise, has to pull guard. The gas tank looks empty on Rashad Evans. Evans passes to side control with ease. Evans pounds away with punches from the mount, hitting several big shots. The referee pulls Evans away, stopping the match! Most of the fans are booing loudly now, that really was a very premature stoppage and Shogun is quite rightly furious!

Yamamoto tries to step away from the takedown. Advancing, Yamamoto counters a left jab by using a hard kick across the side. Time expires and we come to the end of round one. That round goes to Yamamoto, 10-9 on my card.

Round 2

There´s the bell and round number two begins! With a good grip giving him solid control over Kang, Yamamoto looks to wrestle him down. Yamamoto doesn´t get it, Kang blocked any attempt to move him. Yamamoto uses some dirty boxing as he grapples with Kang. Norifumi Yamamoto is breathing very hard. Yamamoto is looking to muscle Kang back against the cage. Out of the blue, Kang finds a way to slap on a guillotine, and is able to take Yamamoto down with it! Yamamoto can´t escape the guillotine, it´s tight enough that he has to tap!

The winner, by submission, is Kyung Ho Kang!

TUF: Japan vs. Korea Final: A Sol Kwon vs. Brian Choi

Round 1

Round one begins! Choi comes in with a couple of jabs, using them as cover so that he can shoot in. Choi can´t get past the sprawl of Kwon, and finds himself pushed face-down to the ground. Kwon rolls the turtled Choi over and secures side control. The time runs out on round one. I have to give that round to Kwon, but only a 10-9.

Round 2

Round two begins! Kwon is trying to muscle Choi up against the cage. Kwon tries to wrestle Choi backward and up against the cage. Kwon catches Choi with a knee strike to the thigh. Round two is brought to an end as time runs out. I think Kwon took that round, 10-9 on my score card.

Round 3

There´s the bell for the start of the round! Kwon tries to smother Choi against the cage with wrestling, but he reverses it and pushes Kwon against the cage instead. Having been stuck against the cage for while without any progress, the referee brings them back to the center. The time runs out and that round is over, and so is the fight. That has to go down as a 10-9 round to Choi.

The official scores are being reported now. All three judges have scored it 29-28.

And the winner of The Ultimate Fighter is... A Sol Kwon.

Welterweight Bout: Dong Hyun Kim vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama

Round 1

Round one begins! Kim uses a nice combination as a set up, then shoots in for a takedown. Akiyama tries to step away the takedown. The takedown is completed, Akiyama is on his back and pulls guard. Akiyama finds his opponent too skilled, and Kim passes guard into side control. Kim tries to lock Akiyama into an armbar. An armbar is applied, Akiyama is trapped! Kim loses the hold! Somehow Akiyama got his arm free. That was increadibly close to a finish though. Kim tries to put Akiyama into an americana. Akiyama fights off the americana attempt. Time expires and we come to the end of round one. I have to give that round to Kim, but only a 10-9.

Round 2

Round two begins! Kim throws a combination of rights and lefts, using them as cover so that he can shoot in. The takedown is successful, Akiyama couldn´t quite stay on his feet. Akiyama ends up sitting, his legs trapped under Kim, with his back pressed against the cage. Akiyama tries to sweep Kim but only succeeds in ending up under north-south position instead. Kim attempts a north-south choke. Akiyama can´t prevent the choke from being applied, he has to tap!

Dong Hyun Kim takes the victory by way of submission!

Featherweight Bout: Chan Sung Jung vs. Hatsu Hioki

Round 1

There´s the opening bell! Hioki ends up grabbing Jung in a Muay Thai clinch. Jung wrestles free of the Muay Thai clinch after blocking a knee strike. Jung finds himself pulled into a Muay Thai clinch. Hioki tries a knee strike, but Jung blocks it and wrestles his way out of the Muay Thai clinch. Time expires and we come to the end of round one. Hopefully the fighters will do a little more in the next round, as that was deathly dull. There was very little to separate them in that round, but i´ll give that one 10-9 to Jung.

Round 2

There´s the bell and round number two begins! Hioki counters an attempted teep with a barrage of big punches on Jung! That last blow may have really hurt Jung, he staggers backward looking dazed! Hioki grabs the stunned Jung in a guillotine choke and drops down to tighten it! Hioki gets the guillotine sunk in and Jung has to tap!

Hatsu Hioki takes the win by submission!
