Weekend in Fights! July 14th Edition

This Weekend in Fights (July 14th, 2012) began on Wednesday night with UFC on FUEL TV 4 and continued on Friday with Legacy Fighting Championship 12, BAMMA USA, Matrix Fights 6, and Saturday with STRIKEFORCE: Rockhold vs. Kennedy, United Combat Sports 6, Anarchy 1, and Victory MMA 7.

UFC on FUEL TV 4 began our weekend from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California on Wednesday night. The main event featured the Middleweight title eliminator bout between the “Filipino Wrecking Machine” Mark Munoz and the undefeated Chris Weidman. Weidman dominated from the get go, taking down Munoz with easy controlling the first round from various positions with the fight on the mat. A little under 90-seconds in the second round, Weidman connected with a beautiful uppercut elbow, busting Munoz’s forehead and sending him crashing to the mat. Weidman pounced on Munoz with a flurry of ground and pound strikes to end the bout. Referee John Rosenthal made a poor judgement call by not stopping the fight earlier, as Munoz was victim to many unnecessary strikes. Weidman improves to 5-0 in the UFC and undefeated as a mixed martial artist.

Also on this card, Aaron Simpson made a successful drop to Welterweight with a dominate three round decision over Kenny Robertson. Tristar fighter Francis Carmont improved to 3-0 in the UFC with a second round rear-naked choke stoppage of Karlos Vemola, handing him his first loss at Middleweight. T.J. Dillashaw weathered the striking storm of Vaughan Lee with wrestling and a quick submission midway through the first round. Dropping from Bantamweight to Flyweight Chris Cariaso out struck Josh Ferguson, winning all three rounds. (Full UFC on FUEL TV 4 event results below.)

On Friday night Legacy Fighting Championship held their 12th event at the Arena Theater in Houston, Texas. The main card was broadcast on the new AXS TV, which is the former HDNet. LFC had orginally planned on crowning their first Flyweight champion for the main event with Will Campuzano versus Chad Robichaux. Robichaux pulled out last minute due to medical reasons, and the bout was scrapped entirely. Former IFL Welterweight champion, UFC, WEC, STRIKEFORCE and Bellator Season 4 Welterweight tournament winner Jay Hieron stepped up to the plate to serve as the evenings main event. Hieron squared off against Romario Da Silva. Hieron choked out Da Silva with an arm-triangle choke early in the second round.

Jiu-Jitsu coach to many top MMA fighters Robert Drysdale displayed his grappling prowess with a 90-second arm bar submission of Isaac Villanueva. Drysdale continues to remain undefeated with four first round submissions to his credit.

Current Cage Warriors Heavyweight champion D.J. Linderman a veteran of Bellator and Instinct MMA squared off against Bellator veteran Dale Mitchell. Linderman picked a second round TKO over Mitchell, improving his win streak to three. (Full Legacy Fighting Championship 12 event results below.)

BAMMA USA Bad Beat 6 featured former UFC competitor Mike Guymon taking on Mike Dizak at Commerce Casino in Commerce, California. Guymon picked a unanimous decision over Dizak after three rounds. Guymon is now riding a two fight win streak since “retiring” after losing to DeMarques Johnson in January of 2011. (Full BAMMA USA Bad Beat 6 event results below.)

Also on Friday night, Matrix Fights 6 took place at Sheet Metal Union Workers Hall in Philadephia. In the main event of the card Bellator veteran Wilson Reis got the judges nod after three rounds with Cody Stevens. Guest of July 11th Episode of Ringside Report Radio, Munah Holland knocked out Carina Damm mid way through the second round. Holland landed a huge right hand that dropped Damm, rendering her unconscious. (Full Matrix Fights 6 event results below.)

On Saturday night Strikeforce Rockhold vs. Kennedy aired on Showtime from the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon. Two championship bouts took place at STRIKEFORCE Middleweight champion Luke Rockhold squared off against Tim Kennedy in his second title defense. Nate Marquardt and Tyron Woodley battle for the vacant STRIKEFORCE Welterweight title. Luke Rockhold and Tim Kennedy battled for five round with Rockhold winning four of five to get the unanimous decision to retain middleweight title.

After a year of absence Nate Marquardt returned to MMA. Marquardt made his STRIKEFORCE and Welterweight debut in impressive fashion by capturing the STRIKEFORCE Welterweight. Marquardt handed Tyron Woodley his first loss with a beautiful punch, elbow combination against the cage to knockout Woddley in the fourth. (Full STRIKEFORCE: Rockhold vs. Kennedy event results below.)

A second event took place in Oregon on Saturday night with United Combat Sports’ Caged Combat 6 at the Spirit Mountain Casino, Grand Ronde. Current ShoFight Welterweight champion but Lightweight fighter John Gunderson headlined the event with David Castillo. Gunderson who came off the biggest win of his career against Karo Parisyan last month looked to improve his win streak to three, but was unable to. His opponent Castillo forced him to tap in the fourth round with a rear-naked choke, retaining his title and extending his win streak to five. (Full UCS – Caged Combat 6 event results below.)

Vermont based Anarchy held their inaugural event at Collins Perley Complex in Saint Albans, Vermont on Saturday night. Four championship bout took place as well as 9 other bouts. UFC Flyweight Chris Cariaso was on hand as a guest judge and Ringside Report Radio’s Kevin McKough manned the ring announcing duties. In the main event Featherweight champion Matt Durling retained his championship in the most peculiar way. Connect with a few soft strikes Durling was transitioning to take Christopher Johnson’s back, and Johnson tapped out.

The co-main event featured the crowning of the Lightweight title with Tyler Jacques versus Brett Trahan. In what was a very even match up, Jacques and Trahan went back and forth with take downs and strikeing combinations. After getting tagged a few times, Trahan looked to be a wobbly legs. Aware of his opponents condition, Jacques came rushing in with a flurry of punches to the head. Jacques connected with a big right hand that sent Trahan crashing to the mat to captured the title.

Alex Laush captured the Anarchy Middleweight title with a complete destruction of Burlington Brawl champion Eric Bruno. Laush connected with some powerful strikes through the first two rounds, busting Bruno over his right eye. Uncharacteristic of the kickboxer, Laush ended the bout with a arm-triangle submission against the crafty grappler. With his proficiency in Jiu-Jitsu Bruno held on to thinking he could fight through it, but was put to sleep.

North East Assassin’s Jay McLean captured the Bantamweight title by defeated “King” James McMillan via unanimous decision after five round. McLean controlled the bout with takedown attempts, he was unsuccessful in the majority of his attempts because McMillan repeatedly held on to the ropes. McMillan was deducted two points during the bout for holding the ropes.

Local favorite Connor McKenna made short work of Todd Duvall when he took Duvall down and proceeded to pound away until the referee was forced to step in.

In the most controversial moment of the night, Jiu-Jitsu Nation’s Jake Bohn was kicked in the face by Chris Rooney while he was down, and the referee didn’t call the illegal strike as it wasn’t visible to his vantage point. Bohn coach Marc Stevens freaked out and jumped on the ring apron yelling at the referee. Commissioners attempted to get Stevens down while the bout continued. Rooney connected with a punch that sent Bohn’s mouthpiece out of the ring. The referee continued to call the action and not halt the bout while many people searched for the month piece. This amplified Stevens rage who continued to throw a fit at ringside. Bohn continued into the second round without a mouth piece, but received a pep talk from Stevens that motivated his to end the bout in the second round by choking out Rooney with an arm-triangle. Marc Stevens and his Jiu-Jitsu Nation camp celebrated in poor sportsmanship manner, which cause Rooney’s Mad Coalition camp to get upset. The combination of the illegal kick to Bohn, and Bohn choking out Rooney the two camps began to argue in the crowd in a riot like manner, which cause security to split them apart and force them to exit the venue through separate exits.

The fight of the night goes to David Castro-Munoz and Jason Torres. The two fighters fought for three rounds of with Castro-Munoz picking up the unanimous decision, but from bell to bell this bout was a display of great striking, ground work, and overall skills from both competitors.

Scott and Dakota Gigure made Vermont MMA history by being the first father and son to compete on the same card. Dakota made his father proud when he forced the referee to step in during the first round to end his bout with Derek Chadwell. Scott however, was not a lucky as his son. Scott’s opponent Patrick Reardon rushed him immediately, busting him up and ending the bout in 55-seconds. (Full Anarchy 1: Exile event results below.)

Victory MMA 7 took place at the CEDA Community Centre in Montreal on Saturday night. In the main event Victory MMA Featherweight Champion Xavier Aloui successfully made his first title defense by submitting Kevin Walker with one second left in the fourth round.

Victory MMA Welterweight Champion Alex Fecteau retained his title and snapped Stephen Oppong’s six-fight win streak with an arm bar submission in the third round. Also on the card, Joe Elliott played spoiler for the returning Rob Rivest by edging him out with a split decision. Samuel Moisan was able to avenge his arm bar submission loss to Olivier Carrier by knocking him out in the third round. (Full Victory MMA 7 event results below.)

Weekend in Fights June 2nd Edition

June 4, 2012 By Kevin Leave a Comment

Send to Kindle

This Weekend in Fights! (June 2nd, 2012) crowned a new Ultimate Fighter champion, as well as a new Welterweight contender and a slew of new fighters to the UFC roster. The weekend also featured action in Ireland with Cage Warriors 47, Ring of Fire 43 in Colorado, RMMAC in Russia, NAAFS 8 in Cleveland, XKO 15 in Texas, and Barre Beatdown in Vermont.

The UFC kicked off the weekend with a rare Friday night appearance, concluding the 15th season of The Ultimate Fighter. TUF Live Finale emanated from the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was the first live season of TUF, where the fighters competed and lived in the house throughout the 13 weeks of the broadcast. Last week as both Mike Chiesa and Al Iaquinta fought to become finalists in an all Team Faber affair. In the storyline finish reminiscent of a Hollywood movie, Mike Chiesa who lost his father after winning his entry bout into the house wins the entire 32-man tournament with a submission finish over Iaquinta. Team Faber’s 5th pick overall Chiesa made short work of Team Faber’s #1 pick Iaquinta by toughing through the early onslaught of strikes from Iaquinta and closing the distance. Chiesa took the fight to the mat taking Iaquinta’s back in the processes. Chiesa secured a body triangle, locking in a deep rear-naked choke that choked Iaqunita out cold at the mid mark of the first round.

Mike Chiesa maybe be the winner of TUF 15, but the event was headlined with a Welterweight showdown between knockout artist Jake Ellenberger squaring of against the crafty Danish veteran Martin Kampmann. Ellenberger stormed in on Kampmann early in the first round, almost bringing the bout he end with a left hook that floored Kampmann. Ellenberger failed to finish the fight with his ground and pound, as Kampmann recovered pulling Ellenberger into a guillotine choke for the remainder of the round. In the second round Ellenberber bloodied up Kampmann’s nose, but stumbled with his footing which proved to be a huge mistake. Kampmann capitalized on this stumble and connected with a series of knees from the clinch dropping Ellenberger to the mat to end the bout before the two minute mark of the second round. Kampmann snaps Ellenberger’s 6-fight win streak and positions himself into the Welterweight title picture.

Charles Oliveira is now 2-0 at Featherweightwith second round submission victory over TUF 12 winner Jonathan Brookins. In very competitive first round Oliveira worked kicks, while Brookins connected with barrages of short punches. Brookings was able to score a takedown but it was short lived as Oliveira return to his feet to conect with superior strikes for the remainder of the round. In the second round Brookins connected during their exchanges bloodying up Oliveira’s nose and forehead. Oliveira quickly clinched and brought the action to the mat. From guard, Brookins worked a guillotine which Oliveira escaped and delivered a series of elbow strikes before slapping his own guillotine choke from the seated position. Oliveira wrenched the choke from the mount, transitioning to guard for the finish. This win marks Oliveira’s second win over an Ultimate Fighter winner.

Also impressive on the card was the “American Boy” Justin Lawrence’s UFC debut. Lawrence was the odds on favorite to win the entire tournament, but losing in the semifinals to eventual winner Mike Chiesa, Team Cruz’s #1 pick Lawrence took on Team Faber’s #6 pick John Cofer. Lawrence outclassed Cofer throughout the first two rounds, but the highlight reel finish came at 19-seconds of the third round, as Lawrence connected with a thip fake, jab, cross, roundhouse kick combo landing his foot flush on the cheek of Cofer, dropping him to the mat for the knockout finish. (Full The Ultimate Fighter Live Finale event results below – Full The Ultimate Fighter Live Season results here.)

Also on Friday night, former STRIKEFORCE Heavyweight Grand Prix Semifinalist Sergei Kharitonov headlined Russian MMA Championship (RMMAC) against John Delgado at the Yubileyny Sports Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Kharitonov made short work of Delgado with a 34-second Keylock submission. The event also held a one night Heavyweight tournament with Alexei Kudin coming out the victor. Fighting three times in one night, with two TKO’s and a unanimous decision, Kudin defeated Konstantin Gludov in the finals. (Full RMMAC event results below.)

Cage Warriors started the jam packed Saturday night of fights airing on MMAjunkie.com and Facebook from the The Helix in Dublin, Ireland. The event saw two championship bouts, as Heavweight champion Mike Hayes took on D.J. Linderman for the strap; and the vacant Featherweight title was on the line between England’s Dave Hill and Irishman Conor McGregor.

A rematch three years in the making D.J. Linderman repeated his by getting a unanimous decision victory over Mike Hayes. The difference in this bout, is that it was five rounds and for the Cage Warriors Heavyweight title. Linderman attempted to bring the bout to the ground many times throughout the first two rounds, but displayed superior standup, when Hayes was able to defend those attempts. After attempted many time Linderman was able to score the takedowns in the third round, staying more active than Hayes. Hayes showed some life, and in a sense of urgency landed his own takedown in the fifth, landed some knees to the body and attempted a rear-naked choke. Unfortunately it was too little too late, losing the decision and surrendering his championship in the process.

Irish beats English in the co-main event of the evening as Conor McGregor submitted Dave Hill with a second round rear-naked choke submission. McGregor defended a takedown attempt ending up in top position ignoring Hill’s submission attempts and delivering some ground and pound until the bout was brought back up to their feet. McGregor took this fight again slapping on the submission he would finish the fight with, but not in this round as Hill was saved by the bell. McGregor to the ground early in the second round took Hill’s back and ended it, capturing the vacant Cage Warriors Featherweight title. (Full Cage Warriors 47 event results below.)

MMA Journeyman Phil Baroni headlined Ring of Fire 43 at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, Colorado on Saturday. A 28-fight veteran, Baroni has fought in every recognizable promotion including the UFC, Pride, Elite XC, STRIKEFORCE, and ICON Sport among others. The fight had all the makings of an exciting finish, as Baroni’s opponent Chris Holland (4-3) has never gone the distance in his seven bouts, winning all of his bouts via KO/TKO. Of Holland’s three losses, one was by submission and two by knockout, one of which came at the hands of Instinct MMA star Brandon Thatch. This bout was no different from Holland’s other bouts as the finish came via TKO in the second round. Holland picked up is his fifth victory, delivering Baroni his 15th loss. (Full ROF 43 event results below.)

North American Allied Fight Series (NAAFS) took place at the Nautica Pavilion in Cleveland, Ohio and was available on iPPV on GoFightLive.com. The card featured two Bellator fighters and Cleveland natives in Frank Caraballo and Chris Lozano. Frank Caraballo defended his NAAFS Featherweight championship title versus Antonio Castillo Jr. with a quick first round rear-naked choke submission, bring an end to the Puerto Rico/Mexico trash talk between the two. Bellator Season 6 Welterweight tournament quarter-finalist Chris Lozano was originally slated to take on Kyle Baker for the NAAFS Welterweight title, but due to injury, Lozano was pitted against Wisconsin native James Warfield (22-10). Lozano pikced up the victory by putting the beat down on Warfield so bad that he was unable to continue into the second round. (Full NAAFS: Fight Night in the Flats 8 event results below.)

Former UFC Middleweight Jake Rosholt (12-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) headlined Xtreme Knockout 15 (XKO 15) on Saturday at the The Gym in Arlington, Texas. UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture and UFC Welterweight Johny Hendricks were special guests for the event. Now fighting at Light Heavyweight, Rosholt took on Matthew Thompson (16-9). Thompson made short work of Rosholt with a first round kneebar submission, snapping Rosholt’s five fight win streak. (Xtreme Knockout 15 event results below.)

Vermont based Xtreme Combat Promotions presented Barre Beatdown at the Barre Municipal Auditorium in Barre, Vermont on Saturday night. A combination of both amateur and professional cage bouts took place in front of a packed house. Ringside Report Radio’s Kevin McKough manned the ring announcing duties for event. Lots of quick finishes and guillotine chokes throughout the night as three of nine bouts ended in that fashion. The main event was a Middleweight bout between Mike Derby and Tim De Iturriaga. The bout was a wrestling war as Berby took De Iturriaga to the ground and worked to improve position. Berby eventually took De Iturriaga’s back sinking in a rear-naked choke for the victory. To purchase a DVD copy of the event call Eastman Entertainment at 802-489-1970. (Full Barre Beatdown event results below.)

Weekend in Fights! April 14th Edition

April 15, 2012 By admin 1 Comment

Send to Kindle

This Weekend in Fights! (April 14th, 2012) saw the return of the UFC for the first time in 43 days, with UFC on FUEL TV 2 in Stockholm, Sweden, a new Bellator Bantamweight champion was crowned in Atlantic City, as well as action from Cage Warriors in Jordan, EFC Africa in South Africa, XFC in Tennessee, and Aggression Fighting Championship and AM Ford Fight Night 2012 in British Columbia.

Cage Warriors kicked off this weekend in fights on Thursday with Cage Warriors Fight Night 5: Brents vs. Linderman. CWFN 5 took place at the New Boxing Arena in Amman, Jordan and was broadcast on MMAJunkie.com. In the main event of the card, D.J. Linderman, who lost two weeks ago at Instinct MMA 3, edged out Bobby Brents with a unanimous decision on two weeks notice. Even though he was giving up almost 25 pounds, Linderman bloodied the much larger Brents’ nose in the first round, but the action slowed down in the second. In the final frame, Linderman picked apart Brents with striking combinations to get the nod.

The Cage Warriors Middleweight tournament semifinals took place, with Pavel Kusch and Victor Cheng advancing to the finals for the vacant Cage Warriors Middleweight title. Kusch made short work of John Phillips with a 25 second heel hook submission, the submission specialist has 13 wins with 13 submissions. On the other side Victor Cheng went the distance against Faycal Hucin to pick up the unanimous decision. (Full Cage Warriors Fight Night 5: Linderman vs. Brents event results below.)

The action continued on Friday night with Bellator 65 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Emenating from Boardwalk Hall and broadcasting on MTV 2 and Spike.com, Bellator crowned a new Bantamweight champion in the main event. The main event featured the first title defense of Bellator Bantamweight champion Zach Makovsky, as he took on the winner of Bellator Season 5 Bantamweight tournament, Eduardo Dantas. Both fighters came out full throttle, in a bout that didn’t make it past the second round. Dantas completely dominated Makovsky, with an extremely impressive performance both off his back and in mount. Dantas was able to counter Makovsky’s take down attempt, and gain top position. From the mount, Dantas rained down on Makovsky, with a series of blows, followed up with an arm triangle choke. Despite his best efforts to grip his own leg and avoid the submission, Dantas was able to apply enough pressure to force Makovsky unconscious, and claim the title.

In the Featherweight tournament semifinal match up, Daniel Straus handed Mike Corey his first ever loss in Bellator. In the three round affair, Straus displayed his improved stand up, putting the beat down and bloodied up Corey in the first. However, Corey was able to regain his composure in the second, as he scored a take down and controlled most of the round. Straus continued to tee-off on Corey in the third, with punch and knee combinations. Both fighters ended the bout, swinging violently at each other, perhaps in desperation, or an attempt to woo the judges; ultimately, Straus was awarded the bout.

Bellator kicked off the Season 6 Bantamweight tournament with Luis Nogueira and Marcos Galvao both picking up unanimous decision victories to advance to the semifinals. Nogueira counter struck his opponent, Alexis Vila, staying away from his powerful right hand in order to pick the win. Glavao impose his will as he secured take downs, attempted submissions and connected with devastating power punches to pick up the win of Ed West. (Full Bellator 65 event results below.)

XFC 17: Apocalypse took place at the Oman Arena in Jackson, Tennessee and was broadcast on HDNet on Friday. In his second appearance for the promotion, American Top Team’s Eric Reynolds continued winning streak and snapped Luciano Dos Santos three fight win streak, in a three round stand up war, that saw Reynolds come out the victor in the main event.

Marlon Moraes had an early night when he came out swinging with devastating left hands, knocking out Jarrod Card in just 48 seconds.The one armed man, Nick Newell continued his miraculous undefeated streak, with a majority decision over Chris Coggins. The congenital amputee with just one fully-formed arm, Newell now improves to 7-0. Felice Herrig bounced back from her December 2, XFC 15 unanimous decision loss to Carla Esparza, with a unanimous decision victory of her own over Patricia Vidonic. (Full XFC 17: Apocalypse event results below.)

Also on Friday, African based promotion Extreme Fighting Championship held their thirteenth even at the GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World, in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa. IN a 12 bout card, seven bouts ended with slick submissions, three by TKO and two decisions. One of the three TKO’s on the night came in the main event, which saw Jadyson Costa (8-12-1)captured the EFC Africa Welterweight title by defeating then champion Dallas Jakobi (6-3) with a fourth round TKO. (Full EFC Africa 13 event results below.)

The UFC kicked off Saturday’s fights in the afternoon, with UFC on FUEL TV 2, at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. Hometown hero, Alexander Gustafsson headlined the event against heavy handed Brazilian striker Thiago Silva. Due to the Swedish Athletic Commission rules, the bout was on three rounds, as opposed to the new UFC standard five round main events. After dropping Silva in the first round with an uppercut, Gustafsson landed some ground and pound, but was unable to finish Silva. However, the knockdown set the pace for the remainder of the bout, as Gustafsson was able to control Silva. Silva managed to land some heavy strikes, but none effective enough to give him control.

With Page dazed from all on shots, Pickett took advantage, sinking his hooks in and applying the rear-naked choke, forcing page to tap.

In a Welterweight match up, John “The One” Maguire squared off against DaMarques Johnson. Sporting the pink and black, cause Bret Hart is his hero, MaGuire was losing the stand up war, as he ate a lot a clearly painful leg kicks from Johnson. Taking it to the mat, Maguire worked his Jiu-Jitsu game and attempted an omoplata, armbar, guillotine choke and rear-naked choke, all unsuccessfully. In the second round, Maguire took Johnson down with ease, but was on the receiving end of some elbows. Unable to get off his back, Johnson grabbed Maguire’s arm for a kimura, but Maguire snatched Johnson’s arm and wrenched a beautiful arm bar, forcing Johnson to tap in the “Submission of the Night.”

Tristar Gym’s Francis Carmont averted disaster, after being man handled in the first round by Magnus Cedenblad. With his hooks in, Cedenblad had Carmont’s back worked for the rear-naked choke in the first round. Early in the second round, after landing a take down, Carmont rained down on Cedenblad with relentless ground and pound punches and elbows from mount position forcing Cedenblad giving up his back.
