PRELIM FIGHTS


Fight #1:
-Gesias Calvancanti vs. Nam Phan

Round 1: Alrighty, here we go. This is being taped to air on Showtime (if time permits). Not sure if that has anything to do with Calvancanti not making weight or not. Anyways, we're about to get rolling!

Fight starts with Calvancanti getting the clinch and taking Phan down. From there, he immediately punches his way to a very quick referee stoppage victory.

Gesias Calvancanti def. Nam Phan via TKO (strikes) at 0:26 of Round 1.


Fight #2:
-Katsuhiko Nagata vs. Isaiah Hill

Round 1: Early on Hill is connecting with some good shots. We have a clinch now against the ropes and Nagata gets the takedown. He's got a bloody nose, but is now getting his ground and pound going. He attempts to take Hill's back, but winds up on top again throwing punches. We got a stoppage to check Nagata's bloody nose. Doctor green light's it, and we're back on the feet. Nagata goes for a takedown, Hill slaps on a guillotine but Nagata gets out and is hammeing down. Lull in the action now and the ref stands them back up. Nagata with another takedown. Round ends, likely 10-9 for Nagata.

Round 2: Nagata opens the round with a takedown, landing in half-guard. Nagata receiving warnings for striking to the back of the head multiple times. Hill manages to escape and scramble back to his feet. Nagata quickly gets a body lock takedown. Nagata passes to side mount. Hill gets his guard back. Nagata passes to north-south position and is working strikes. Round ends, another 10-9 for Nagata.

Round 3: Hill goes for a right punch, Nagata slips it and pulls Hill down with a single-leg. Hill sweeps, but the two get tangled in the ropes. We get a restart, but Nagata again quickly takes Hill down. We get a lull in the action and another restart. This time, Hill knowing he's losing the fight makes his best effort standing. He has Nagata hurt, but when attempting to finish with a guillotine, Nagata escapes. Nagata now on top, moves to mount and then side-mount where he begins working on an arm. No dice though, another stand-up and the round is now over. Nagata should take this one.

Katsuhiko Nagata def. Isaiah Hill via Split Decision (29-28, 28-29, 30-27) after 3 Rounds.


SHOWTIME FIGHTS


Fight #3:
-Jonathan Wiezorek vs. Tim Persey

Round 1: Boring round so far. Nothing really happening yet. We're in the clinch up against the ropes just moving around the ring. Finally get a seperation. 3 minutes left in the round. Persey throws a huge bomb but just barely misses. We're back in the clinch. While throwing knees to the leg, Wiezork accidentally lands a low blow. We get a stoppage due to the foul. Action resumes and Persey drops him with punches immediately. He's in Wiezork's guard now working his ground and pound. Wiezork attempts an armbar, but eats a huge shot for his effort. Persey gets some space and lands another real good shot. Wiezork working a kimura from the bottom, he's almost got it too. Persey gets out eventually and lands a big shot. Wiezork berzerks his way up and we're in the clinch against the ropes with 45 seconds remaining. Wiezork gets a takedown with 10 seconds left. Round over. 10-9 Persey most likely.

Round 2: Early in the round, Persey lands a good shot. Wiezork gets a takedown soon after. He's got Persey's back and is pounding away. Herb Dean is about to step in. He's not fighting back or trying to move position at all. Herb Dean stops it.

Jonathan Wiezorek def. Tim Persey via TKO (strikes) at 0:50 of Round 2.


NOTES: Ok we just had interviews with Gina Carano, Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett and Phil Baroni. After that, they aired highlights from the Calvancanti vs. Phan fight earlier on in the night. Up next is Jake Shields vs. Ido Pariente. I have no idea where they're gonna throw the Tokoro vs. Pickett fight in the mix.


Fight #4:
-Jake Shields vs. Ido Pariente

Round 1: Shields comes in with a big leg kick to start the round. Not much later he's got his first takedown. A few seconds pass, and Shields now has full mount. Pariente trying to sweep and buck, but Shields is keeping the position and hammering in spots. Shields moves to side-mount but quickly jumps back to mount. He's landing good punches and I think Pariente is bleeding now. Pariente gives Shields his back, he gets his hooks in and is looking for a rear naked choke. He's got it and it's over.

Jake Shields def. Ido Pariente via Submission (rear naked choke) at 2:06 of Round 1.


PAY-PER VIEW FIGHTS


NOTES: This is an insanely drawn-out intro here on the PPV. We had a big trumpet show with colorful dances walking up and down stairs like a music video. Now we're introducing all the fighters. Oh and as I type, Royce Gracie (with the R sound) is being introduced. This is classic-bad.


Fight #5:
-Johnnie Morton vs. Bernard Ackah

Round 1: Intense staredown. Morton comes out blazing with strikes. Now he's trying for a takedown. Morton is very intense and gets the takedown. Ackah is back up though. The two are slugging it out. Ackah completely drops Morton. He is totally unconscious.

Bernard Ackah def. Johnnie Morton via KO (punch) at 0:38 of Round 1.


NOTES: Morton is still out, we're going on at least two minutes. They're putting a hard collar on him and strapping him to a stretcher. It took them over a minute to even take his mouth piece out. Commentary is focusing on Morton not being prepared when this is a scary situation. Looks like he's somewhat coming to now.


Fight #6:
-Mighty Mo vs. Ruben Villareal

Round 1: Mighty Mo wins by quick knockout. The two just traded bombs on the feet. Warpath lands a nice leg kick but then gets dropped by Mighty Mo. Mighty Mo would eventually follow up with some power shots that knocked him out on the ground.

Mighty Mo def. Ruben Villareal via KO (punches) in Round 1.


Fight #7:
-Melvin Manhoef vs. Yoon Dong Sik

Round 1: This fight was almost cancelled due to a technicality involving taping up his ankles. The fight was cancelled but eventually Dong Sik agreed to the CSAC's wishes. Amazing first round. Melvin came out guns blazing and almost finished him early on. Dong Sik eventually got a takedown and side mount, gained full mount and pounded almost to the round ends. However, he goes for an armbar, has it but loses it and they're back on the feet. Melvin finishes the round strong, hurting Dong Sik with strikes again. Great first round, hard to decide.

Round 2: Awesome round again, didn't last long though. Dong Sik gets a takedown early and gets Manhoef's back. He goes for a choke, loses it, then goes for an armbar and gets it.

Yoon Dong Sik def. Melvin Manhoef via Submission (armbar) in Round 1.


Fight #8:
-Hideo Tokoro vs. Brad Pickett

Round 1: Finally is this one next? We'll see. Great fight, ends in the first. The two slugged early, but Tokoro got Pickett down and was looking for a number of submissions. Almost had a leg submission but didn't get it. A few moments later he gets an armbar on and got the tap out.

Hideo Tokoro def. Brad Pickett via Submission (armbar) in Round 1.


Fight #9:
-Royce Gracie vs. Kazushi Sakuraba

Round 1: Royce is coming out first. Again the "DJ" says his name with the R-sound. Who cares, I'm jacked for this one.

Decent first round. Very slow start with Sakuraba dropping Royce but then it was the infamous Sakuraba-Gracie position (Saku standing over Gracie) but it was Gracie from the bottom doing the better damage to Sakuraba's legs. They scramble up and Sakuraba grabs a standing kimura! This is nuts! Nothing doing and the round ends with the two circling and not doing much.

Round 2: Pretty boring round. Almost the entire time in the clinch, with Gracie landing knees to Sakuraba's knee. Saku gets a thai-clinch at one point and tries going berzerker mode with knees, but nothing doing. Back in the clinch, nothing happens as the round rides out. Fans boo heavily at the end of the round.

Round 3: Another lackluster round. Early on they hit the ground and switched positions a few times. The rest of the round was mostly Sakuraba holding onto a standing kimura. The ref seperates them with about 40 seconds to go, they hit the floor and Sakuraba takes Gracie's back as the round ends.

Royce Gracie def. Kazushi Sakuraba via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) after 3 Rounds.


Fight #10:
-Brock Lesnar vs. Min Soo Kim

Round 1: Quick fight. Lesnar bull-rushes in and immediately takes down his opponent. He's in half guard and advances to mount. Min Soo Kim is doing nothing more than holding on for dear life. In mount, while Min Soo is holding on, Lesnar lands some in-close punches to the side of his head and Min Soo taps. Weird ending.

Hrmmm, Lesnar won but it sounded like a weird ass fight, hopefully downloading it proves me wrong.

Dmac

Weird how exactly?

After watching it, It really is a fucking weird fight. He just gets mount and starts throwing standard punches to the side of his head while the guy just clutches Lesnar to his body. All of a sudden he just taps out, which is #1 really sudden and #2 Really odd because NO BODY TAPS TO THAT. Ethier Lesnar has some heavy heavy hands or that guy is just a bitch because thats a hell of a way to lose.

Dmac

Lesnar's a monster he is bound to have heavy hands.

I suppose, Theres some guys who can't throw power shots because of muscle mass though. Which is why you don't see guys like Sean Sherk, Matt Hughes and Jeff Monson knocking guys on there ass all day long. I'm not basing to much off this fight, till he faces a mid level guy I won't throw to much weight behinde him. Theres guys who are picking Lesnar over Herring right now...HEATH HERRING, I mean seriously.

Though I will say this, The way they presented this show was very stylish, I actually liked the Lighting and stuff better then UFC's shows.

Dmac

Yeah like cause it's his first fight, people could get really behind him, then he could get ktfo'D in his next fight.

Zar

Watching the fight, Lesnar's shots looked pretty heavy. I think people need to chill out with ideas of Lesnar as a contender. I think he absolutely will be down the road, as long as he isn't rushed and is allowed to slowly gain the proper experience. (fighting in a cage would suit him really well, with some GnP against the fence).

Dmac

Well like I said, he already has the wrestling down, he just needs to turn it into an MMA style and he should be a real contender after about 5 fights maybe.

5 fights is a strech dan, how many guys do you see five fights in to there career contending for a top tier title? at most I'd say he has 8 or so fights before becoming a true contender. 4 outside of the UFC, then 3-4 fights in UFC to get to the top of the heavyweight crop there which is stacked beyond belief.

Hell guys like Michael Bisping arn't even contenders yet and there barely cracking the surface in the UFC right now talent wise(Joker vs Bisping almost confirmed for UFC 75 btW Dan ).
