[dublin-lifter]

cool cant wait

[-Z-]

I will watch just to see Machida.

[dublin-lifter]

shane carwin vs cain valequez will be good aswell

[Mirko Cro Cop]

Looks like it could be a good card.

I reckon Shogun will give Machida a run for his money, especially if Shogun starts acting like the Shogun of old.

[jdl80]

Don't know if it's on this card or not but Cain is fighting Ben Rothwell instead of Shane Carwin (he's fighting Brock at 106).

[Arnoldnumerouno]

Maybe Kimbo Slice VS Lesner will be in the next fight.

Don't know if it's on this card or not but Cain is fighting Ben Rothwell instead of Shane Carwin (he's fighting Brock at 106).

Nope, not this card. I changed the card to the offical card via UFC.com

Cant wait to see machida back in action!!!

Josh Neer will replace an injured Sean Sherk in a lightweight bout against Gleison Tibau at UFC 104 on Oct. 24 in Los Angeles, according to a source close to the matchup.

Sherk, 36, suffered a shoulder injury in training that will keep him out of the gym for approximately four weeks, according to his manager Monte Cox. The injury is a setback for the former lightweight champion, who is 1-1 in his last two Octagon appearances since failing to recapture the crown from B.J. Penn at UFC 84 in May 2008.

Neer dropped a tough decision to Kurt Pellegrino at UFC 101 in August and is 2-2 in his last four UFC performances. The tough-as-nails Iowan submitted Mac Danzig in a memorable tilt at UFC Fight Night 17 last February.

Tibau returns to action after a close split-decision loss to Melvin Guillard at “The Ultimate Fighter 9” Finale in June. A wrestler fighting out of Florida’s American Top Team, Tibau had defeated Jeremy Stephens and Rich Clementi before dropping the bout to Guillard.

That sucks......some people dont know their limitations when using Deca. :)

Hahahaha I was thinking the same thing. I like Sherk though.

Leben is gonna hit the sauce again after the little nap he took last Saturday.

[jdl80]

I hope Sherk can get back on track with his next fight, no point in fighting if he's not ready.

[Plates]

I like Sherk. He trains very hard, and is always up for whatever. Not to mention we have the same stand up style, and are built the same except I'm 2 inches taller. :D

[This Is War]

Bummer! Wonder who will replace him?

[No Shelter RATM]

There goes another $40 ...UFC is ruining my wallet but I love it

[JLucas]

Machida/Shogun fight alone makes this worth watching. I like Spencer Fisher too, usually always has a exciting fight. Maybe he'll smoke someone with one of those flying knees like he did against Wiman

[phillymuscle]

That sucks......some people dont know their limitations when using Deca. :)

Funny shit 

[phillymuscle]

I think Shogun will be a good test. I like shoguns standup but hes really agressive. Machida tends to do great against agressive fighters due to his great counter punching.

[Plates]

I like this card....I have an idea on a few of my picks, but I need to do more visual research before I call or bet on anything. :)

TEMPE, Ariz. - Cain Velasquez (http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/velasquez_cain00.html), a former two-time All-American wrestler at Arizona State University and one of several former Sun Devils excelling in mixed martial arts (MMA) fighting.....

Round 3
Schafer starts the round with a lazy jab and pays for it, as Bader connects with a right-handed haymaker. Schafer stumbles around the cage like a newborn deer taking its first steps before crashing to the canvas. Bader swarms with punches and elbows, but much like the first round, Schafer survives and stops Bader in his tracks with a solid guard. The fighters clash heads in the guard and Schafer is cut. The laceration is cleaned by a doctor and action resumes. Schafer finds a rhythm on the feet and pieces together a few clean right hands. Bader steps forward and snaps Schafer’s head back with a jab. Bader drops levels for a double-leg takedown, and he scores. Schafer attempts to defend the shot with a guillotine, but Bader easily passes to side control. Bader controls the final minute before giving up guard and an omaplata try at the bell.

Round 1
Johnson, a much larger opponent who failed to make weight on Friday, storms out and roughs Yoshida up with rights and lefts and to the chin. Yoshida is hurt and backing up with his hands down. Johnson lands a clean right cross directly on the chin and Yoshida goes to sleep. Referee Steve Mazzagatti halts the contest at just 0:41 of the first. Following the knockout, Johnson apologizes to the UFC for not making weight, which he says is a result of a knee injury.

Bad fight for Fisher to take. This is going to probably be a long fight

Same thing I was thinking.

[-Z-]

Joe's busted up Spencer's right eye already. I think it was an elbow.

[-Z-]

All over, TKO Joe Stevenson via elbows.

[-Z-]

Round 1
A one-two from Fisher ends a minute-long feeling-out process. Stevenson lands a left hand that opens up a small cut near the right temple on Fisher’s eyebrow. Stevenson switches levels for a takedown and Fisher defends beautifully. Fisher’s eye is bothering him as he blinks constantly, perhaps in an effort to prompt referee Herb Dean to separate the fighters, as Stevenson is controlling the clinch. Dean separates the fighters and Stevenson gets a takedown and half of Fisher’s back. Stevenson lands some right hands at the bell.

[-Z-]

Round 2
Stevenson lands a hard right hand as Fisher starts the round aggressively. Fisher throws a kick to the body that is caught. Stevenson keeps a tight hold on the foot of Fisher and drags him to the canvas. Stevenson drops back for a heel hook, and Fisher defends. Stevenson gets back on top and briefly advances to mount before being put in half guard. Stevenson is teeing off with right elbows from half guard. Fisher is trapped against the fence and he’s taking a beating as Stevenson mixes in punches with the elbows. Stevenson moves to a crucifix and drops about 20 straight elbows that open up the face of Fisher. Dean steps in to save Fisher at 4:03 of the second.

[Bolan]

Easy fight for Joe!!

Okami is killing me here....

[Plates]

Dear Okami,

Left jab + right cross.

Thanks,

[Gaoshang Xiongshou]

What the fuck is a turning sidekick?! All of this time calling the fights, and Joe has yet to learn proper technique terminology??

I was puzzled too

Yushin Okami (http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Yushin-Okami-5569) vs. Chael Sonnen (http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Chael-Sonnen-4112)
Round 1
Okami pistons the jab from his southpaw stance, snapping Sonnen’s head back before the wrestler shoots in. Okami staves him off for a moment but Sonnen gets him to the mat from the clinch along the cage. Okami struggles back to his feet but Sonnen grabs a body clinch from the rear and slams him to the mat. Okami back up for a second but back he goes, courtesy of Sonnen. Sonnen takes his back and attempts a rear naked choke but Okami defends and gets back to his feet with Sonnen holding onto a rear body lock. Sonnen jumps onto Okami’s back and begins working the rear naked again but Okami escapes. In the center of the cage, Sonnen hits another takedown but can’t keep Okami down. The fighters exchange big lefts, Sonnen first and Okami with a counter as the round closes. Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Sonnen. http://www.cdn.sherdog.com/_images/pictures/20091024062000_sonnen.JPG (http://www.sherdog.com/pictures/gallery/fighter/f_36618/98904/48)

Sonnen vs. Okami.



Round 2
Okami scores with punches as round two gets underway. Sonnen shoots as Okami is throwing a kick and he is stopped in his tracks. Okami tries to get away from Sonnen’s grasp but he clings to his shorts and legs from behind. Sonnen is taking control of the fight, surprisingly, on the feet. He is backing Okami up and landing a lead left hook over and over. Okami has no answer and seems preoccupied with defending the takedown. Sonnen takes round two on the Sherdog.com scorecard 10-9.

Round 3
Sonnen is back at it in the third, stalking Okami on the feet to set up his shot. He drops for the takedown but Okami defends with underhooks. Sonnen is undeterred and press forward on the feet. The two southpaws circle in the center of the cage but Sonnen is much more active. Okami, possibly sensing a little urgency begins to push forward but Sonnen stuffs him up against the cage and plants him to the canvas. Okami turtles and Sonnen takes his back. Okami wriggles back to his feet with Sonnen in tow, holding his waist in a body lock. Sonnen pushes him to the mat and Okami, on his side, locks up a Kimura. Sonnen defends will and Okami lets the hold go. He gets back to his feet but can’t shake Sonnen. The round closes and Sonnen takes it on the Sherdog card, 10-9.

Sonnen takes a unanimous decision on the official cards with scores of 30-27 across the board.

What the fuck is an up kick??! They are killing me with this.

They make shit up. They need better commentators.

[Plates]

Some of the followers are not from a fighting demographic. They wouldn't understand proper fight terminology. lol!!

[Gaoshang Xiongshou]

It is almost as bad as the pro wrestling commentary... Someone gets hit with a kendo stick... what the hell?! It is a shinai. Or... someone throws a "martial arts kick"... I tell you, they need better quality control.

Gleison Tibau vs. Josh Neer

Round 1
Tibau grazes a fast-punching combination and then follows with a beautifully-executed knee-tap takedown. Tibau gets sloppy and allows his opponent to stand before scoring another forceful takedown. Neer hops back up and taken down for the third time. In what is becoming a pattern through the first three minutes of action, Tibau is unable to hold Neer to the floor. Neer stands and Tibau drops levels for a single. Tibau completes the takedown. Neer works a butterfly guard from his back, and eventually uses it to stand.

[Plates]

"martial arts kick" haha!

[-Z-]

These 2 are broing.

[Plates]

Teabag has great take downs, and that is it.

[-Z-]

He can't finish.

[-Z-]

Round 2
The second stage begins as the first ended, as Tibau gets two quick takedowns, but is unable to do anything with the position. Tibau gets a third takedown, and this time he’s able to capitalize. Tibau moves to mount and then the back of Neer. Tibau transitions to a tight armbar, but Neer is game. Neer escapes and works briefly from the top before standing. Neer keeps Tibau at bay with lowkicks and punches for the duration of the round.

[Plates]

ugh.............

[Gaoshang Xiongshou]

"martial arts kick" haha!


Indeed. They started using it around the time Ken Shamrock was in the WWE.

[-Z-]

Round 3
Tibau rushes in and gets a quick single-leg. Neer defends from his guard and stands when Tibau gave space. For the first time in the fight, Neer shrugs off a Tibau takedown. He stuffs another. Tibau is fatigued and backing up with his hands down. Neer lands a right hand and is taken down. Neer elbows the head from an open guard. Tibau allows Neer to stand, and is hit with a low kick. Tibau scores yet another single. Neer checks the clock and gets to his feet. Tibau gets another clean takedown before time expires. The crowd boos both fighters.

Tibau takes a unanimous decision with official scores of 30-27 (twice) and 29-28.

Even though he was getting his ass whopped that should noit have been stopped there.

It was a good stoppage.

Round 1
Velasquez gets a single-leg takedown after landing a kick to the body. Rothwell stands and is taken back down. Velasquez punishes Rothwell with short punches and moves to north-south. Velasquez goes to side control, which allows Rothwell to escape to his feet. Velasquez takes him back down and dishes out a world of hurt with both elbows and hands. Velasquez moves effortlessly from mount to side control and beyond. Velasquez allows Rothwell to stand after a completely one-sided thrash fest.

Round 2
Velasquez snags a quick single and the beating commences. Velasquez’s right hand finds a home on the face of Rothwell. Velasquez pins Rothwell’s left arm against the cage and unloads with lefts to the head. While Rothwell frees his arm and stands to his feet, referee Steve Mazzagatti executes extremely poor judgment in calling the fight. An awful move to a fight that was growing more exciting by the minute. The official time is 0:58 of round two.

Shogun took that round!

[Gaoshang Xiongshou]

I see nothing. Oh well... thank you anyway. I enjoyed what I did get to see.

[-Z-]

Notg much happening in the first round. A lot of feeling out, Shogun seemed to control the pace and attack more.

[Plates]

I have Shogun up 2-0

[-Z-]

Round 2

Shogun continues to control the pace. He is attacking and landing a fews hots here and there nothing too damaging though. He did get in a few body blows and knees to the thigh.

[-Z-]

They almost respect each other too much.

[-Z-]

Round 1
Shogun lands a left hook that makes Machida grimace. The champion goes to the Thai plum, where he lands several knees to the body. Shogun charges forward and clinches with his foe against the fencing. The fighters separate and Machida blasts Rua with a left kick to the body. Machida lands a hard knee to the body and Shogun dives in for a takedown. Machida easily defends and then slips away from a Rua head-kick attempt. This fight provides an interesting visual: Machida with his traditional karate stance, and Shogun with a rigid Thai stance. Shogun lands a hard low kick and Machida answers with a kick to the body. The first round is an interesting and close chess match.


Round 2
Shogun goes to the legs of Machida to kickoff the second period. Machida lands a straight right that backs Rua up to the fence. Machida steps forward and cracks Rua with a left kick to the ribs. Shogun tries to attack and Machida glides away. Machida gets his movement cut off and he absorbs a hard Thai kick to the body. Both sides of Machida’s body are red. Shogun lands an unintentional knee to the groin from the clinch. Rua attacks the legs with kicks and knees to close the round.

[Plates]

I have Shogun still winning. People always ponder Machida's gas tank. Fuck that, how's his chin? Thats the question

[-Z-]

Round 3
Shogun lands a snapping kick to the body and Machida is looking frustrated. The pace slows and the crowd briefly lets the fighters hear it. Machida goes to the midsection with a kick. Machida draws Shogun in and unloads with a right hand. Rua drops levels for a takedown and Machida stops it. Shogun lands two hard low kicks and a crushing kick to the ribs. It appears as Machida has been out scouted in this bout, as Rua is having his way with Machida with low kicks whenever the champion raises his leg to attack. Machida and Shogun exchange and Shogun gets the better of it with a hard-counter right. Machida landed a knee to the gut to start the trade, but was hurt by Rua’s right.

[Plates]

good fight so far. If Shogun stays aggressive throughout round 5, I see my upset coming!!!

[-Z-]

If this goes to a decision Shogun should win.

[-Z-]

Round 4
The pace slows in the first championship round. Rua lands a kick to the leg and body. Machida slips and Shogun sprints in to score a takedown. The reflexes of Machida are on display as he springs to his feet and stops the challenger’s advance with underhooks. Machida steps forward and is absolutely blasted with a knee to the body. Machida seems content to drop the round as he circles and avoids Rua for the final minute.

[-Z-]

Shogun deserves the win.

I seriously cannot believe that they gave that to Machida. That decision was worse than the Bisping/Hammel fight. Absolutely insane, still stunned.

Anyone who didnt see the fight....Shogun literally beat the fuck out of Machida's legs and midsection for 5 rounds.

[SlimTim]

That was hands down the worst decision in UFC history

[firsthorseman97]

I had it 49-46 Rua. I'm surprised to say the least.

[mg659er]

He brought the fight to machida and was the aggressor. eh what you gonna do? i saw the fight for free, in my living room,on my couch, on my laptop! whatever! bring on fedor!

[TheTransformator]

Except for the Machida...Shogun fight...one of the worst UFC's ever...!

anthony johnson looked impressive. gotta feel bad for yoshida. he cant get a break.

Yoshida was a tard for taking that fight.

[TPT]

lol. he was forced to!

anyway, whats next for johnson? hes huge for his class.

[Plates]

I believe Joe Silva told Johnson, "No more 170" after his fight. Technically, if a fighter doesn't make weight, the other can choose not to fight him. Yoshida should have never fought! lol

lol. now you know aint nobody refusing a payperview fight.

UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida earned $200,000 in his first successful title defense against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 104 last Saturday in Los Angeles, according to figures released by the California State Athletic Commission Tuesday.

Rua, who utilized a carefully crafted strategy of body kicks and aggressive clinch work, took home $155,000 in the closely contested fight that many thought went in his favor. UFC President Dana White announced shortly after that Rua will get an “immediate rematch.”

The event had 14,892 in attendance (paid and comped ticket totals were not initially reported) for a gross gate of $1,913,093.62, said the CSAC.

Meanwhile, rising heavyweight Cain Velasquez lived up to a bit of his feverish hype by pounding out a dominant second-round technical knockout against Ben Rothwell. The American Kickboxing Academy fighter banked $70,000 for the victory, while Rothwell made $50,000 in his Octagon debut.

Undercard entry Pat Barry was the night’s big winner though with an emotionally charged second-round finish against the towering Antoni Hardonk. Barry’s performance, which was the highlight of a one-hour Spike TV broadcast prior to the pay-per-view portion, earned $134,000, including a “Fight of the Night” and “Knockout” Bonus doled out by the promotion. Hardonk made $16,000.

In the night’s first bout, stringbean-built Stefan Struve got a boost with a $60,000 submission bonus, taking his winnings to $74,000 for his first-round tapout of Chase Gormley. California native Gormley earned $10,000.
