Our live UFC play-by-play is currently ongoing. Check back throughout the night for full results.The dark matches are ongoing. Thanks to Ben and Oliver for their help tonight.
a. Luke Cummo destroyed Josh Haynes with a "Tank Abbott in his prime" knockout in 2:45 of round two. Haynes was so out of it he leg-dived the ref afterwards. Awesome start to the show.
b. Pete Spratt vs. Marcus Davis. Davis, who was bleeding heavy, won with a kneebar in 2:57 of round two. Entrances tonight are said to be awesome.
c. Pete Sell vs. Thales Leites. Leites won the decision 30-27.
Apparently they aired an interview segment with Deigo and Koscheck and "one hundred percent" of the crowd cheered Diego and booed Koscheck.
d. Heath Herring won a unanimous decision over Brad Imes. Imes hung in there and both got a standing ovation afterwards.
Live show is starting now.
1. Alan Belcher vs. Kendall Grove. Kendall choked him completely unconscious at the end of the second round. Pretty good fight, not great. Kendall looked good here.
2. Mike Swick vs. Yushin Okami. Swick got pWned~! that first round. Round two was all Okami until Swick finally unleashed a flurry and pounded the piss out of him for the final ten seconds. Pretty good back and forth third, but Okami dominated most of the round and won the fight via unanimous decision. Houston was pissed that Okami beat the hometown boy.
Dana introduced UFC's newest signee, former PRIDE Heavyweight Champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. They dropped the ball in not showing any footage from his big wins, such as his victory over Bob Sapp. As it was, he came out, he spoke, he left, and he was just A GUY.
3. Leonard Garcia vs. Roger Huerta. Awesome first round that got way less of a reaction than it deserved. Another very good round. Both guys are tired and this is becoming a hell of a bar fight. Awesome fight. Huerta got the unanimous decision 30-27. Both men are guaranteed another fight off this performance.
4. Diego Sanchez vs. Josh Koscheck is next~! Good luck following that last fight. For what it's worth, Koscheck has vowed that he will not take Diego down and ride out a boring humping victory. He's gonna FIGHT. Diego had a Mariachi band and got a superstar reaction. Crowd hated the largely even first round. Koscheck took him down with 20 seconds left but Diego switched and was going for his back at the bell. This is a new Koscheck. He owned this round and threw a cocky grin at Diego when it ended. Diego needs to finish this fight or he's done, and it's not looking like he'll finish it. Well, Diego did not win. This ended up being the all-standup version of most Koscheck fights. He avoided losing, pretty much avoided trying to win, and got the victory via scorecards. I seriously think he landed an average of one shot per minute. Diego landed significantly less. Crowd HATED this. Koscheck then cut a fantastic promo straight out of pro-wrestling, celebrating his decision win like Nigel McGuinness would celebrate a cheap count-out victory in a Pure Rules match. Then he went HAW HAW HAW and I TOLD YOU SO and I WON CAUSE OF GOD and so and so. Best heel in the whole company.
5. Georges St. Pierre vs. Matt Serra for the UFC Welterweight Title. Serra knocked him out in round one. Swear to God in Heaven. Some people won a LOT of money tonight. Crowd is going nuts for the huge upset.
I'm hoping Crocop ordered this PPV.
A UFC segment is about to air on Sportscenter on ESPN.
