Main Card

Lightweight Bout

<img src=http://media.ufc.tv/generated_images_sorted/Fighter/norman-parke/norman-parke_290176_small_thumbnail.png> Norman Parke (20-2-1) vs. Gleison Tibau (32-10) <img src=http://video.ufc.tv/generated_images/Gleison-Tibau_1075_small_thumbnail.png>

Bruce Buffer: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are live, from TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts for UFC Fight Night! Our first bout of the evening is 3 rounds in the UFC Lightweight division.

Introducing first, fighting at the blue corner. This man is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Fighter. With a professional record of 32 wins & 10 losses. Fighting out of Coconut Creek, Florida. Gleison Tibau!

Introducing his opponent, fighting at the red corner. This man is a Judo and Boxer. With a professional record of 20 wins, 2 losses & 1 Draw. Fighting out of Bushmills, North Ireland. He is the Ultimate Fighter Smashes Winner, 'Stormin' Norman Parke!

When the fight starts our referee will be Steve Mazzagatti."

Steve Mazzagatti: “Are you ready.? Are you ready? Let’s get it on.”

Round 1

Jon Anik: "And here we go! They start with a touch of gloves. Up close, they start wrestling. Tibau manages to aggressively get a good position in the clinch. Tibau tries to wrestle Parke backward and up against the cage. Tibau manages it, and controls Parke up against the cage. Tibau tries to smother Parke against the cage with wrestling, but he reverses it and pushes Tibau against the cage instead. Parke looks to try and maintain control via his wrestling skills, but Tibau proves too good and manages to turn them around so that he is in the dominant position. Parke waits for Tibau to lift a leg to attempt a foot stomp, then turns him around so that he now has his back to the cage. Tibau wrestles back against Parke, turning him around so that he now has his back to the cage. Showing his ability to control opponents, Tibau simply smothers Parke against the cage. They exchange close-quarters punches from that position for about sixty seconds. We are now at the halfway point of the round. With no progress being made, the referee separates the two fighters. They clinch up and start jockeying for position. Tibau seems to be the aggressor. Using his wrestling skills, Tibau is trying to push Parke up against the cage. Parke doesn't let himself be driven back though, and gains a dominant position in the grapple instead. Parke separates from Tibau and we're back to a stand-off. They come together in a clinch. Tibau seems to get the advantage. Using his wrestling skills, Tibau is trying to push Parke up against the cage. Parke ends up backed against the cage. Tibau stomps down on his opponent's foot. Tibau looks to try and maintain control via his wrestling skills, but Parke proves too good and manages to turn them around so that he is in the dominant position. Showing his ability to exert control, Parke smothers Tibau up against the cage. The rest of the round sees them remain there, hitting each other with short punches to the body and side of the head. Round one is brought to an end as time runs out."

Kenny Florian: "The fans are booing loudly after a dire round that featured little in the way of action. I'd say that was definitely 10-9 in favour of Tibau."

Round 2

Jon Anik: "Round two begins! They come together in a clinch. Tibau is the aggressor. Tibau, controlling the grapple with Parke, tries to scoop him up for a slam. There's the slam! Parke is planted onto his back, and pulls guard. Tibau throws a few left hands to the body. Parke is controlled against the ground, unable to shift Tibau off of him. Time slips away as Tibau successfully keeps Parke stuck against the ground. Tibau fires off a few punches, but they aren't thrown with any great force. Parke tries to pull Tibau in close and smother him, but doesn't get anywhere with it. We pass the halfway mark of this round. For the moment Tibau is content to just throw a couple of punches to the body. Time slips away as Tibau successfully keeps Parke stuck against the ground. The referee decides that there is a lack of progress being made and stands them back up. They come together in a clinch. Tibau works his way to a dominant position. Tibau is trying to muscle Parke up against the cage. Tibau achieves it, pinning Parke to the cage. We're into the final minute of the round. Smothered against the cage, Parke is trapped there, unable to get free. The rest of the round sees them simply engaging in a gruelling close-up battle of short strikes. Time expires and we come to the end of round two."

Hector Lombard and Shawn Jordan fails Drug Test

The UFC announced the results of drug tests the UFC 182. Two fighters were caught. Hector Lombard has shockingly tested positive for recreational drugs. Lombard gave an interview last night in which he claimed that he was the victim of a lab mistake, and that his recent drug test failure for recreational drugs was entirely unjustified. Jordan has tested positive for recreational drugs. His fight with Jared Cannonier has therefore automatically been registered as a No Contest, and perhaps more importantly, he is now banned for a mandatory twelve months. Jordan has apologised publicly for his use of illegal substances. Taking full responsability, he has said that he has learned his lesson and will fight '100% clean' from now on.
