See you back here on Saturday beginning at 10PM EST / 7 PM PST.
Just about 30 minutes to showtime now. Let the endless preview loop on the PPV channel commence...
And we have Gladiator Man. MGM Grand is looking pretty packed early on. The first crowd shot of the night has a guy in a Cage Fighter shirt. Oops. Goldie is stoked (of course), Rogan a little more subdued, though he did just call Lesnar "the freakiest guy ever to enter the octagon."
Looks like McCrory/Hazelett is the swing bout, as we're starting off with...
Round 1: Maia shoots and immediately spins to guard but Quarry's on one knee. They spin and Maia moves straight to mount, then takes Quarry's back, body triangle cinched up as he sneaks solid shots up under Quarry's arms and looks for the rear naked. With three minutes left this isn't looking good for Nate. Quarry keeps trying to roll out, but eventually leaves himself exposed and Maia sinks in the RNC quick. Quarry taps and the Brazilian stays undefeated, now 10-0.

Speaking to Joe after the fight, Maia says there are a lot of matchups he'd be interested in but singles out Michael Bisping as a potential opponent.
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Josh Hendricks
Round 1: The two clinch immediately, Gonzaga connects with a few solid rights to the head and body before taking the plum and shooting some hard knees up the middle. A second later, Napao crushes Hendricks with a nasty overhand right. Gonzaga checks with ref Steve Mazzagatti, who isn't ready to call the fight yet, and blasts Hendricks with one more which drives his head into the canvas and ends the bout.

Two quick fights means it's prelim time...
Round 1:Thomas with an early takedown and moves to side control, now looking for mount. Brown works his way up and the two clinch briefly before Thomas brings it back to the floor. Now Brown reverses and has the "Tank Engine" against the cage. A wild exchange on the floor as Brown locks up a dangerous looking armbar, but Thomas postures up, slams Brown to the floor and escapes. With under a mintue left, Brown sinks in a guillotine but Thomas manages to escape that as well. Round goes to Brown off the strength of his sub attempts. BloodyElbow.com scores the round 10-9 Brown.
Round 2: The second frame begins with Thomas taking Brown to the floor again, where "The Immortal" quickly re-starts his armbar attempt. Thomas slams his way out of it once, just like in the last round, but on the second try Brown rolls him over and there's no option but to tap.

Dustin Hazelett vs. Tamdan McCrory
Round 1: Solid punching combinations from McCrory to open up but they don't seem to faze McLovin. Hazelett stuns McCrory and tries to follow up with a wild flying knee but can't capitalize. Now a big right from Hazelett stuns McCrory, but he quickly recovers and comes back with a mean leg kick. McCrory keeps them coming but both men are showing respect for the other's standup. McCrory slips and Hazelett takes guard. Now McCrory's right arm tied up under Hazelett's legs, the BJJ black belt looking for an omoplata. McCrory in trouble with one minute remaining, tries to spin out to no avail. Hazelett turns it into a gruesome straight armbar and McCrory has to tap before something breaks.

Another prelim - only an hour deep and we're on the fifth fight.
Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Jeremy Stephens
Round 1: Dos Anjos shoots and pins Stephens against the fence after a slow feeling out process. After some work along the bottom of the cage, Stephens pulls guard and works for a guillotine. No dice - Dos Anjos slips out, now in side control, now in full mount. Stephens reverses but Dos Anjos is working for an omoplata with a minute left. Stephen's left arm is pinned under him on the mat, wrenched under his body, as the round expires. BloodyElbow.com scores the round 10-9 Dos Anjos.
Round 2: Stephens keeping his range in the first minute, coming in with hard single rights and leg kicks. Dos Anjos returns with an inside leg kick of his own, then shoots a double and pins Stephens to the fence again. After a struggle, Dos Anjos picks Stephens up for a slam, almost from a fireman's carry. Dos Anjos takes Stephens' back with body triangle in, but Stephens spins into guard as Dos Anjos tries to tie up one of "Lil Heathen's" arms. Stephens pounding away with hard shots from outside the guard, now moves to Dos Anjos' full guard with :30 left. One last elbow from guard punctuates it. BloodyElbow.com scores the round 10-9 Stephens.
Round 3: After 30 seconds of trading leg kicks, Stephens melts Dos Anjos with an upperhand right that he wound up from a mile away. Dos Anjos is out cold but Stephens rapidly pounces and pounds away with more rights until Mazzagatti can step in.

Joe Stevenson vs. Kenny Florian
Round 1: Florian bouncing around, circling and hopping away from Stevenson. The Bostonian moves in and out with several knees and punches before Joe Daddy starts swinging away and pins Florian to the fence. Stevenson muscling him around, finally picks Florian up for a slam but Florian grabs the fence and lessens the impact. He receives a warning for Herb Dean and gets back to his feet. Florian still keeping his distance, working a right jab and a nice left head kick that's blocked. Stevenson clinches from the side and Florian slams him down and moves to full guard, postures up and mounts Stevenson with 1:20 left. Stevenson gives up his back and Florian gets his hooks fast. Joe tries to get to his feet, grabbing the fence with both hands, but falls backwards. It's unbelievably deep - Joe hesitates for a moment but then has to tap. What the hell did they feed these guys tonight?
Kenny Florian def. Joe Stevenson via Submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 4:03 of Round 1
Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar
Lesnar comes out to "Enter Sandman," Randy to "Back In The Saddle." To borrow a phrase, "this! place! is! electric!" Mario Yamasaki is our ref.
Round 1: They touch gloves, circle and clinch. Randy grapples the wrestler up against the cage, Brock throwing knees up the gut. Couture returns a few knees and Lesnar reverses him into the fence. Randy pushes out and lands a right jab flush, Lesnar unfazed. They circle and Lesnar shoots in for a single. Randy on one leg against the fence, tying up with 3:00 to go. Brock lifts him up with a double and slams Couture down. Randy avoiding the mount from Lesnar, works back to his feet nearly takes Lesnar's back but Brock grabs a leg and sweeps Couture under. Brock laying in half guard at the bottom of the fence, pins Couture's right arm down with his left leg momentarily and lands a couple. Randy's out and shooting but Lesnar's sprawl is too wide and Randy's too low. Back standing and Couture's got Lesnar on the fence now. Lesnar looks at the clock with :30 left, and again with :15 and Randy lefts one of his legs and shuffles him sideways. Brock is warned for grabbing the fence as the round runs out. BloodyElbow.com scores the round 10-9 Lesnar.
Round 2: Randy ducks a left to start, but catches an elbow a moment later and looks shook. Lesnar shoots in but finds himself against the fence once again, eating knees to the gut from Couture. Lesnar works out and just misses with a huge knee of his own. Lesnar has a small cut above his right eye which he's wiped at a couple times already. Halfway through the round, Randy's controlling against the fence again but Brock's in his own corner now. It doesn't seem to be helping. Brock finally explodes out with some huge knees which miss but get him free. Lesnar sets up with a left jab and follows with a right directly to the temple which drops Couture!!! Randy is down!!! Lesnar is pounding away with massive hammerfists from side control and Randy's legs are out flat. Yamasaki is giving Randy every chance but the champ can't recover. Brock Lesnar is your new UFC Heavyweight Champion. Seriously.

Another prelim, and then we've been promised a "special treat from 50 Cent" by Goldie as the broadcast ends. Great.
Round 1: Riley's first solid strike is an unintentional kick to the goods of Gurgel. Jorge takes a minute to recover and the fight resumes. Gurgel looking good with some solid body and leg kicks. Riley is moving forward but not landing much. Gurgel with a kicking combination that's partially deflected. Solid first round from Jorge. BloodyElbow.com scores the round 10-9 Gurgel.

Round 3: The two stand and bang for the first two minutes before Riley breaks through with a huge left kick to the head.

More head kick attempts miss, Riley's looking for a highlight reel KO. Gurgel looks beat and he's being picked apart on the feet now as Riley moves in and out. With a minute remaining, Jorge attempts a couple shots but Riley's not budging.

Now Alvin cage walks out of the corner, but Bocek moves into mount and then secures Robinson's back. Bocek's got the body triangle but Robinson is still rolling himself out of trouble with 1:20 left.

Robinson pops out and briefly into side control, but he's swept into Bocek's guard once more at the end of the round. Jiu jitsu war! BloodyElbow.com scores the round 10-9 Bocek.

Well..
I won’t be here tonight to do live blogging duties…obviously since Chris has it. I’m down in Florida for a short trip for a family thing…so I won’t even get to watch one of the biggest fights in MMA history live. I have to settle for watching it HOPEFULLY Sunday. So best of luck to me avoiding spoilers.

When is Mcvlovin - Mccrory going on?
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
Gonzaga title shot?
How does beating Hendricks qualify Gonzaga for another title shot, as Rogan just said? Hendricks is a nobody. Gonzaga has shown he beats weak fighters and loses to good fighters. CroCop is a dubious exception to this rule. Werdum deserves a shot before Gonzaga for sure. Since that’s probably not gonna happen, I think Gonzaga should fight one or two of the losers of the 4-man HW tournament.
Yeah, I’d like to see Gonzaga against Junior Cigano or maybe Carwin before he’s back in the title talk.

Exactly. Future opponents have an angle on him now. Randy stuffing most of Brock’s takedowns was really encouraging.
Exactly
And against a guy as small as Randy, can only imagine a good fighter who weighs closer to his weight.
Well damn.
Really didnt get to see if Lesnar has gotten any better on the ground.
Im blah with Couture and I dont care for Lesnar so its not big CRAP! for me, but this still sucks.

I’ll tell you what, we’ll go get Brock, and let him hit you like that.
It was an effective strike, though I’ll give you that it wasn’t very accurate. You got to realize, that wasn’t a KO punch, just enough to put him down, it was those hammerfists that did him in.

I didnt think it was possible to make him look any uglier.
And this comes from a guy who finds all men ugly.

I was still impressed by Randy’s movement and his ability to stuff Brocks take downs, but Brock did earn that victory and it was good to see he showed his respect afterwards.
That being said I still don’t see him defeating Big Nog or Frank Mir when they unify the titles.
Yea but he would get controlled and take a lot of hits to the face. Nog moves like a mummy on the feet.
time for the truth
you guys can hate Lesnar if you want but hating him isn’t going to stop him from dominating the heavyweight division in the years to come
I feel smarter already.

great night of fights. good representation for any first time viewers
Damn near perfect

uhhh....
robinson is a brown belt, not a black belt.
Florian Stevenson
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this but about 30 secs or so before Florian gets the RNC, it looks like Joe is talking to him and some of it is audible.
Wondering if anyone else noticed that.
SUPERB event
Is that some kind of record for body triangles and omoplatas?
matchmaking thoughts?
gonzaga is obviously ready to jump back into the contenders pool. herring? kongo?
what about hazelett?
if mir manages to upset nog, i see lesnar crumpling him (again).
http://www.ufc.com/ShaneCarwin
Very much so (265 lbs), and undefeated. But he wasn’t a former WWE champ, so his 10-0 record doesn’t earn him a title shot.
That was Cane

"My job is a decision-making job, and as a result, I make a lot of decisions." --George W. Bush, The Decider, Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 3, 2007
main page says it starts 1:15
and i think mario warned him after he grabbed it. if he’d done it again then i think a point deduction would have been legit.
One more thing before I leave, just wondering why no point was deducted for Lesnar grabbing the fence – the fight would have been totally different if Randy had got that takedown. That’s all – I have spoken my piece – good night
"My job is a decision-making job, and as a result, I make a lot of decisions." --George W. Bush, The Decider, Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 3, 2007
People grab the fence all the time and get a warning the first time. Usually it’s at least the second time that they deduct a point.
I’m not all that crazy about the fights tonight. Randy’s was okay because there was some back and forth and I wanted him to win so bad that every time he did something good got me excited. Otherwise it seemed kind of one sided. Hazlett’s fight was cool. Actually, Florian’s fight was cool too. Florian’s the real thing, and he’s got a real shot at BJ after beating Stevenson like that.
Joe Daddy is good, but he’s now lost convincingly twice. I assume he’s got to get a couple more wins now and maybe refine his game a little or work on quickness or something.
Losing to BJ and Kenny is not all that bad

True enough.
But he got absolutely manhandled.

MMA Live is silent for me.
Don’t think it’s on my end. The sound was there, then it cut out and re-loading doesn’t help. Grr.

And it's back.
They even apologized to me. Right before it cut out again, lol.

Lesnar is a joke!!! he is the Kimbo of UFC....loser
Lesnar is the Kimbo of the UFC…. they are both losers and jokes… Dana “Foul Mouth” White talks crap about other fighters and organizations putting on loser fighters on their sorry a55 fight cards, when he did the same thing EliteXC did….he put a massive scary guy against smaller opponents…and the ugly massive guy is not a proven mma fighter…..just because you were in fake wrestling, does not mean you have a shot at the championship right away….he should fight at least ten fights then a shot at the belt….. they are all money hungry biches, who would put anyone in the cage just because losers like the pay per view customers would buy into it… that is the reason i like and miss PRIDEFC…..Dana bought it out so it could not compete with the UFC in the US……I hate the UFC and i hope that most of you open your eyes and realize that you are just a pawn for these money hungry biaches….
You are a fucking idiot.
Lesnar and Kimbo have nothing in common. Lesnar is actually a tough competitor. If he didn’t deserve to get a title shot then he would have lost last night. The fact that he won shows that he is worthy. And this is coming from someone rooting for Randy.
It’s funny that you bash the UFC and Lesnar yet suck off Pride when Pride would have LOVED to have Lesnar and put him in big matches. They booked Fedor vs Zulu for fucks sake.
Also, guess who else did “fake wrestling”? A guy that you probably get off to, Sakuraba.
The bottom line is that it’s a BUSINESS and the goal is to MAKE MONEY, and if someone draws then they will get more opportunities. Period. Pride was the same way so stop being such a mark.
