Nik Lentz subs Waylon Lowe with a Guillotine Choke in the final round. The "Carny" has reeled off 5 UFC wins in a row (skipping the Draw) and has quietly made himself into a possible contender. Lentz best wins are over Tyson Griffin (though by controversial decision) and Andre Winner. Might be time to test this kid. Perhaps a Mark Bocek, Donald Cerrone, or Ross Pearson would provide the proper test.
Johny Hendricks TKO's Anthony Waldburger in the 1st for the win though Tony complained about the stoppage. Tony's got nothin' for Hendricks who continues to improve and I continue to tell people to watch him rise. "(T)KO Of The Night"
Christian Morecraft defeats Sean McCorkle by Guillotine Choke in the 2nd round. Oh Sean. It was a bit of back and forth in the 1st but nobody did very much. Between rounds McCorkle looked exhausted and for no reason except for he has a history stressing out which will gas out fighters quickly. As the round began it was obvious Sean had nothing left and Morecraft began to pull ahead with G&P and landing through Sean's awful standup. "Big Sexy" gave a half hearted attempt at a shot and landed right in Christian's standing guillotine. Props to the big fella he did not tapout instead blacking out before Morecraft just dropped his lifeless corpse. Tough loss for Sean who will most likely be cut though I would prefer to watch him over Jon Madsen or Mike Russow any day!
Michael McDonald defeats Edwin Figueroa by Unanimous Decision.
John Hathaway defeats Kris McCray by Split-Decision though is should have been Unanimous.
Mackens Semerzier taps Alex Caceres by RNC. "Bruce Leroy" proved he doesn't belong in the UFC and hopefully he'll be gone now.
Mike Russow defeats Jon Madsen by Doctor Stoppage. Madsen's left eye was completely closed forcing the end. This was a battle of 2 awful Heavyweights and its a shame we can't cut them both from the roster.
Chan Sung Jung defeats Leonard Garcia by submission with the 1st successful Twister in the UFC!! Finally the fight was taken out of the judges hands and of course, that spelled the end of the highly overrated "Bad Boy." The "Korean Zombie" started slower in this rematch knowing he desperately needed a win after 2 straight losses. Jung began to pull away slowly but surely as Leonard swung wildly without landing which generally wins him decisions. After an uppercut and flying knee landed, Garcia fell to the mat. There the "Zombie" latched onto his back securing a "body triangle" around Garcia's left thigh. Chan then postured up quickly locking on the rare and fabled "Twister" and forcing Garcia to tapout! Amazing submission and finally, finally Leonard gets some just deserts. I know its not his fault that he was treated like royalty by the judges, and for those counting at home, it was 7 fights in a row he lost though the record does not reflect accordingly. Cut his ass. Sung Jung is back to being a fan favorite with an epic submission and stole the entire show.
“When I started going in for the technique I knew there was less than thirty seconds left. That’s actually one of the reasons why I went for that move. If it was more than thirty seconds I probably wouldn’t have tried the move, but since there wasn’t much time left I kind of went for it and thankfully it worked out.” "Submission Of The Night"
Amir Sadollah defeats DaMarques Johnson who tapped out to Elbow strikes. Look, DaMarques took this fight on 2 weeks notice after 2 guys dropped out. The "Darkness" (weirdest nickname eva?) did fine early taking Amir down and controlling him on the mat. In the 2nd, Amir got rolling as his technical striking began to land with pinpoint accuracy and Johnson began to gas. Bloody and hurt, DaMarques took an elbow beating on the ground as Amir trapped 1 of his arms leaving the "Darkness" unprotected and he tapped to strikes which is a big no-no. Ah well. Amir looked alright but not a great performance over a run he should have powned.
Aaron Simpson defeats Mario Miranda by Unanimous Decision. In the styles clash wrestling usually beats striking and that was the case here.

“It’s something that I saw a long time ago on the Internet on video,” Jung said via a translator during Saturday night’s post-fight press conference. “It’s one of Eddie Bravo’s techniques. It’s something I practiced because it just looks fun, and so I do it quite a bit in practice. I always told people I was going to try it some time in competition and I wanted to do it in the UFC and I was able to…”

Anthony Johnson defeats Dan Hardy by Unanimous Decision. Before the fight both men had said in interviews that they were going to "stand & bang" looking to make it the fight of the night. "Rumble" landed a head kick early that hurt and dropped the "Outlaw" but Johnson could not finish. From there, the entire fight was Anthony taking Dan down and doing the L&P for the duration. Dan's takedown defense is a joke but how about that gentleman's agreement? Seems kinda like he suckered the "Outlaw." It wasn't pretty, or entertaining, but "Rumble" makes a successful return while Hardy has now lost 3 in a row. Don't worry "Outlaw" fans, when asked if he would be cut at the press conference, Dana White replied, "Not necessarily. We’ll have to wait and see. "I fucking love that kid."
Phil Davis defeats Antonio Rogerio Nogueira by Unanimous Decision. "Mr.Decent" did enough to out wrestle "Lil Nog" and landed some good kicks. Nog was just too slow and could not get off his back fast enough to have a shot at winning the rounds. Phil still needs to learn some effective G&P something that is vastly lacking in his game. A nice "name" win moves Davis along and poor Rogerio has some time left but we see the end coming. Luiz Cane, Stephan Bonnar, or Alexander Gustafsson would all provide a good test for "Mr. Wonderful's" next outing.
10-2 on the picking side and MMAFO award's nobody a "Fight Of The Night" because nobody deserved it.
