In the UFC 148 main event, Anderson Silva won the rematch with Chael Sonnen to retain his middleweight championship ,this time by TKO in round two. Silva started slow and Sonnen dominated in the opening session. It looked early that it was going to be a tough long fight for Silva and Sonnen dominated him on the mat most of the round. 

By the second round, Silva turned the fight around and came back strong. He made Sonnen miss badly causing him to slip and he hit him with a knee to the body. Sonnen was hurt by the knee and tried hanging on, but Silva  kept the barrage going with a mixture of shots eventually leading to the technical knockout with Sonnen left beat up on the mat. 

In the co-feature, Forrest Griffin defeated Tito Ortiz by decision. It was a close fight with some good action. Fans in attendance seemed to favor Ortiz as the winner, but there was a lot of back and forth making it difficult to score. Both fighters showed heart in the match up and it was supposed to be the final fight for Ortiz. 

Here are results of the opening bouts of the pay per view:
Cung Le defeated Patrick Cote by decsion.
Demian Maia beat Dong Hyun Kim by TKO in round one. 
Chad Mendes defeated Cody McKenzie by TKO in round one. 
Mike Eaton defeated Ivan Menjivar by decision.

Bellator Highlights

6/3/2012

It has been a while since Fight Night Blog posted on Bellator so here are highlight videos below from the last three events. Also earlier in May, Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal made headlines by signing a contract with both Bellator and TNA wrestling. However, he is still under a suspension for testing positive for steroids and by signing him, it shows an apparent lack of concern by both organizations about steroids. He tested positive for a bout on January 7, 2012. If Bellator and TNA cared about the issue of steroids, then they should have forced him to a test before signing or not sign him at all until after the suspension. Lawal is supposed to submit another test when he applies for his license.  

Check out the highlight videos of Bellator 68, 69, and 70 shared from YouTube.

UFC 146 Results: Dos Santos Drops Mir Round Two KO

5/26/2012

Junior Dos Santos demonstrated his high level stand up striking by knocking out Frank Mir in round two of their heavyweight championship main event in UFC 146. Dos Santos controlled the fight from the start with his stand up striking and footwork. Mir attempted to take him down early in the first round, but failed to do so. Dos Santos dominated the fight other than some leg kicks from Mir and he had him staggered bad by a right hand to the temple during the last 20 seconds of the opening round. By the following round, Dos Santos dropped Mir with another well timed right hand and delivered a hammer fist to him while dazed on the mat. Dos Santos also appeared to back off from a last grab submission attempt by Mir before dropping the hammer fist when he realized his opponent was too out of it to fight back. 

In the featured undercard, Cain Velasquez beat down Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva to win by TKO in the first round. Cain quickly jumped on Silva and delivered a sharp elbow to him while on the mat leaving him a bloody mess. Cain kept grounding and pounding until the referee was forced to stop the bout.  

The rest of the undercard bout also featured some good action and quick endings. "Big Country" Roy Nelson won by knock out over Dave Herman in round one via a well timed Suzy Q. 

Here are the rest of the televised pay per view results:
Stipe Miocic defeated Shane Del Rosario by TKO in round two.
Stefan Struve defeated Lavar Johnson by armbar submission in round one.
Dan Hardy defeated Duane Ludwig by KO in round one.
Jamie Varner defeated Edson Barboza by TKO in round one.
Mike Brown defeated Daniel Pineda by unanimous decision.
Glover Teixeira defeated Kyle Kingsbury by submission in round one. 
Paul Sass defeated Jacob Volkmann by submission in round one.

Strikeforce Results: Cormier Defeats Barnett by Dominate Decision

5/20/2012

Daniel Cormier defeated Josh Barnett by unanimous decision in the Strikeforce main event heavyweight tournament final on Showtime. Cormier dominated most of the fight and was a whitewash on two scorecards and just lost one round on the other. Barnett probably had his best moment of the fight when he clearly hurt Cormier with a knee near the end of the opening session, but Cormier still took the round. By the next round, Barnett was a bloody mess and in round three, Cormier even managed to slam Barnett on the mat like a rag doll showing off his wrestling talent. The big men slowed some late, but it was a good fight overall and impressive win for Cormier. 

Gilbert Melendez defended his Strikeforce lightweight title against Josh Thomson in a split decision win. Melendez was more active in the first half of the fight. In round three, Thomson started to become more effective and it was probably the closest round of the match. As the fight progressed, Thomson became stronger while Melendez began to wilt and at the end of round four Thomson nearly completed a submission choke. In the final five minutes, it was evident that Thomson was beating down Melendez, but it became a difficult fight to score going the distance with a story of two halves. Fans booed in disfavor of the split decision win for Melendez, but it was a tough fight to score. Thomson also had to stop multiple times during the bout due to receiving unintentional eye pokes. 

In the other televised undercards, "Feijao" Rafael Cavalcante won by submission via guillotine choke over Mike Kyle 33 seconds into round one after Kyle was rocked by a knee to the chin to help set up the early submission. Chris Spang also defeated Nah-Shon Burrell in a quick match with a left hook on the button followed by numerous hard knees to the head leading to the TKO win in round one.
