Chris Cariaso defeats Vaughan Lee by Split-Decision. Yup, that happened.
Che Mills TKO'd Chris Cope with Knees and Punches a mere 0:40 into the 1st round. Che and I don't believe you belong in the UFC Mr. Cope. The "Whooing Jackass" got just blown away by Che who delivered two crushing knees and strikes for fun. "KO Of The Night"
Michihiro Omigawa finally won beating Jason Young by Unanimous Decision. He didn't look great but Omigawa got the j0b done to remain a part of the roster while Jason will be bowing out.
Philip De Fries defeated Rob Broughton by Unanimous Decision. Nobody cares and rightly so.
John Maguire defeats Justin Edwards by Unanimous Decision. Maguire started a bit slow but came on for a solid victory.
Terry Etim over ran Edward Faaloloto ending with a wicked Guillotine Choke 17 seconds into the fight! After 19 months off due to injury the excited Etim blitzed Faaloloto with strikes and simply jumped into a standing guillotine choke that he brought to the ground. The choke was perfect and Ed tapped out quickly as "Ten Inch" Terry is back! Let's get Etim another fight quickly people.
Anthony Perosh Upsets Cyrille Diabate by RNC in the 2nd round. The "Snake" seemed to be able to use his kickboxing effectively while avoiding the takedown attempts but just never really got after it. The "Hippo" finally found his ground game in the 2nd as Cyrille just looked to be lazily defending. Perosh made him pay with some stern punches as Diabate just gave him the choke and tapped out.
* Somehow Tony stays employed and Diabate should be ashamed if not just cut for his half hearted performance.
Thiago Alves welcomed Papy Abedi to the UFC with a 3 punch knockdown and RNC victory. Big Papy showed no fear asking to face the veteran "Pitbull" who attacked aggressively early. Papy absorbed early but then held his own as the two went toe to toe. Alves then landed a right hand behind the ear and followed it up with a perfect left right that dropped Abedi dazed to the mat. Thiago then dropped heavy elbows that cut Papy open badly forcing him to turn away allowing the RNC submission of domination! Great fight. "Fight Of The Night"
Renan Pegado Upsets Brad Pickett by RNC submission in the 1st round to quiet the British crowd. The Bantamweights came out swinging for war and Renan began to get the better of the lightning fast striking. Then Pegado unleashed a stunning flying knee that landed flush. Pickett crashed to the canvas before quickly succumbing to the instantly grip applied RNC. Brad tapped out and covered his face dejected while Renan celebrated in front of a shocked crowd. Pegado looked very impressive and now I'm a believer. "Submission Of The Night"
* I would love to see Pegado fight Scott Jorgenson next! That, would be a great fight and a true top contenders bout. Its a bad loss but Brad can recover. Back to the grind for "One Punch" but he has only lost 2 of his last 10.
Mark Munoz defeats Chris Leben by TKO via Corner Stoppage. The "Crippler" simply got out wrestled as Munoz grounded out Chris while delivering some stiff elbows that bloodied veteran. Mark landed more early in the exchanges but the takedowns and subsequent beating did Chris in. It seemed very quickly that Leben was gassing out and there was no way this bout could possibly go 25 minutes. The doctors looked at the cut and allowed Leben to continue and he finished the round beaten. Chris then informed his corner and then the doctors he couldn't see and was done.
* Another solid win for Munoz but the dead silence from the crowd when he proclaimed he deserved a title shot should have given him his answer. I seriously doubt the Filipino gets the nod after two solid opponent wins. Not yet. Speaking of undeserving Middleweights, why not just set up Mark for the winner of Michael Bisping vs Jason Miller and then we'll talk. Leben is what he is. A sturdy veteran who takes a beating and can KO middle of the pack fodder. His popularity was loud tonight and he'll be back.
7-3 on the picks.
