UFC 158 Full Card

January 26, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Send to Kindle

UFC 158 takes place on March 16th, 2013 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec.

Since the last update five new matchups have been added to the UFC 158 lineup.  Mike Ricci versus Colin Fletcher, Antonio Carvalho versus Darren Elkins, Johnny Eduardo versus Yves Jabouin, Sean Pierson versus Rick Story, and Mitch Gagnon versus Issei Tamura.

The runner up of The Ultimate Fighter season 16 Mike Ricci (7-3 MMA, 0-1 Ricci vs Fletcher copyUFC, 0-1 BFC) may have come up short as a Welterweight, but will be making his Lightweight debut against the TUF: Smashes Lightweight tournament finalist Colin Fletcher (8-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC). Tristar’s Ricci made a name for himself fighting on the local scene here in Montreal, but really turned heads when he went to the finals of TUF 16 at a higher weight class than his own. Ricci lost a unanimous decision to a much bigger Colton Smith how possessed a superb wrestling game, and controlled Ricci for all three rounds. His opponent Colin Fletcher, made a name for himself in the United Kingdom before appearing on TUF: Smashes. Fletcher gained notoriety for his “Freakshow” persona. He lost in the finals to Northern Ireland’s Norman Parke by unanimous decision. Like Ricci in his bout with Smith, Fletcher was unable to impose his striking again against the grappler. Three months removed from their UFC debuts what game plan will these Lightweights bring into the octagon as it’s “The Martian” versus “The Freakshow.”

Both Antonio Carvalho (15-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and Darren Elkins (15-2 MMA, Elkins vs Carvalho5-1 UFC) were successful in their last bouts at UFC 154 in Montreal. Carvalho is riding a two-fight win streak, while Top 10 ranked Elkins is riding a four fight win streak. Both fighters are pretty much even as well rounded fighters with knockout, submission and decision victories. Elkins dominated Steven Siler in his last bout to win the unanimous decision, he also has notable victories over Tiquan Zhang, Diego Brandao, Michihiro Omigawa, and Duane Ludwig. Carvalho has notable victories over Rodrigo Damm, Daniel Pineda, Douglas Evans, Takeshi Inoue, and Hatsu Hioki. These two Featherweights will collide to rise the rankings and eventually earn a title shot.

Former Featherweight Yves “The Tiger” Jabouin (18-8 MMA, 3-2 UFC, 1-2Jabouin vs Eduardo WEC) fights for the fifth time at Bantamweight when he faces two bout UFC veteran Johnny Eduardo (26-9 MMA, 1-1 UFC). In a battle of Tristar versus Black House Jabouin looks to bounce back from a knockout loss to Brad Pickett in September, when Eduardo looks to continue his win streak after besting Jeff Curran in May of 2012. After fighting 14 of 26 bouts in Quebec, Jabouin returns with the UFC on March 16th in Eduardo’s fifth bout outside of Brazil in a striker versus submission expert bout.

Sean Pierson (13-6 MMA, 3-2 UFC) squares off against Rick Story Pierson vs Story(14-6 MMA, 8-3 UFC) in the sixth Welterweight bout on the card. Pierson is coming off a unanimous decision win over Lance Benoist at UFC 152, and is currently riding his first UFC win streak with two victories. After back-to-back wins over Johny Hendricks and  Thiago Alves, Rick Story was once considered a top prospect in the Welterweight division. However, he suffered two consecutive losses, and suffered a first round submission loss to Damian Maia at UFC 153 in his last bout. The two will meet each other in challenging bout for both athletes.

Mitch Gagnon (9-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Issei Tamura (7-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC)Gagnon vs Tamura both step back into the octagon for their third bout in the UFC.  Former Ringside MMA Featherweight champion Gagnon had a rough start when he lost his debut against Bryan Caraway at UFC 149. Tamura on the other hand won his UFC debut with a knockout of Tiquan Zhang at UFC 144. Gagnon bounced back from the loss with an aggressive and impressive rear-naked choke submission win over Walel Watson at UFC 152. While Tamura suffered a TKO loss to Rafael Assunsao in his Bantanweight debut at UFC on UFC on FUEL TV in July. Of Gagnon’s nine wins all have come by way of submission. His opponent Tamura has knockout ability be mainly goes the distance. Gagnon will attempt to remain undefeated at the Bell Centre, when Tamura fights outside of Japan for the second time.

Weekend in Fights! July 14th Edition

July 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment

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! February 25th Edition

In this Weekend in Fights (February 25th) the UFC traveled to the land of the rising sun for the first time while under Zuffa regime. The card featured a seven bout main card, including the Lightweight championship bout at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan on Saturday night. On Friday night Cage Warriors held their 46th event in the Ukraine, and Legacy Fighting Championship held their 10th event in Houston, Texas.

MMAjunkie.com continued their sponsored series of Cage Warriors for the second consecutive event in the last two weeks with Cage Warriors 46: Kraniotakes vs. Peberezhets at the Stereo Plaza, in Kiev, Ukraine. The main event was a Heavyweight bout between Andreas Kraniotakes and Dmitry Poberezhets, which ended in quick fashion with Kraniotakes  submitting Poberezhets in the first round with a rear naked choke. Pavel Kusch did the impossible when he submitted Alexander Starikov in 30 seconds to the virtually impossible to land omoplata. (Full Cage Warriors 46: Kraniotakes vs. Peberezhets event results below.)

On Friday night, Legacy Fighting Championship held their 10th event at the Arena Theater in Houtson, Texas. Broadcast on HDNet, the event included UFC veterans Pat Audinwood and Gerald Harris, as well as the siblings of UFC fighters, Anthony Njokuani’s brother Chidi, and Chase Beebe’s brother Carson all picking up wins. (Full Legacy Fighting Championship 10 event results below.)

In the main event of UFC 144, Frankie Edgar put his championship on the line against former WEC Lightweight champion Benson Henderson in a five round war. After winning the first round, it appeared to go down hill for Edgar after a perfect up kick from Henderson, busting up his nose, impairing his vision causing him to bleed for the remainder of the bout. Even with this Edgar continued to battle it out for the next three rounds, that many saw going either way. Henderson stalked Edgar for the remainder of the bout connecting with lots of combinations, but Edgar still out stuck him in volume. In the fifth round Edgar dropped Henderson with a punch and appeared to have turned things around, and was on his way to retaining the championship. However, the judges saw things for Henderson and declared him he winner and new UFC Lightweight champion.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson made his return to Japan in almost 6 years to the date in his final Pride bout on February 26th 2006 at Pride 31. To tribute the glory days of his career Rampage can out the the Pride theme song, but his return was not a glorious one. Standing in Jackson’s way was strong wrestler Ryan Bader, who wanted nothing more than to spoil the return of Jackson on his way to climb up the ranks in the Light Heavyweight division. Jackson was able to land one of his signature slams from his Pride days on Bader, but due to injury prior to the bout, Jackson was unable to get off his back once taken down. Bader controlled the last to round with unimpressive lay and prey tactics, but was active enough to not have the referee stand them up. Bader took home the unanimous decision victory.

Mark Hunt also made his return to Japan in Heavyweight action against Cheick Kongo in impressive fashion, knocking out Kongo with ease in the first round.

Jake Shields snapped his two fight losing skid, with a decision over the Welterweight debut of Yoshihiro Akiyama. Akiyama looked impressive with his take down defense and stellar Judo techniques, but in was Shields octagon control and number of landed strikes that won him the bout.

Tim Boetsch made the comeback of the event with a third round TKO over Yushin Okami. Okami destroyed Boetsch for the first two rounds, and was on his way to picking up a decisive decision victory, but a fire was lit under Boetsch and he went for broke, by attacking Okami with a series of strikes to pick up his most notable victory to date and looks great since dropping to Middleweight.

Excluding the Mark Hunt and Tim Boetsch knockout victories, the night was filled with great knockouts including Anthony Pettis’ 81 second head kick to Joe Lauzon, Takanori Gomi’s one punch power over Eiji Mitsuoka and the upset of debuting Issei Tamura over Tiequan Zhang.
