Another day, another show, and another BloodyElbow Live Results thread. I'll be here with you live starting with the Versus broadcast of the show.
It's a little unfortunate that this show had to be the day after such a solid and newsworthy Affliction card, it will be a fun card with a lot of fireworks but it is just not going to get the press it deserves in the build-up or after the fact.
Regardless, we're here to talk about it with all of you. So chime in with your thoughts and lets give this show the attention it deserves.
Our one rule stands, no spoiling any fight that has already taken place until it is shown on the broadcast or the broadcast ends. No exceptions!
It's 9:32 on my watch and here we sit...with WEC not on and me forced to watch Sports Soup. Any idea what's going on?
Okay, so the deal is that the NHL All-Star game ran long, so rather than go to live fights Versus is giving Sports Soup (a show it re-runs constantly) its full 30 minutes. Which is pretty amazingly dumb.
9:42 and the broadcast is getting underway!
Jose Aldo vs. Rolando Perez - Is up first and will be starting shortly. Round 1 - Aldo's quick punches are flying early as Perez tries to circle to his left, which is right into Aldo's power hand (the right). Left hook, right high kick combo from Aldo. Perez with a right hand now. Lead uppercut misses from Aldo and Perez with a nice body head combo in return. Quick right hand lands for Aldo and then he eats a combo as he tries to follow up with a body kick. These two are going at it with some good technical striking, much better than the typical "sloppy kickboxing" we see in a lot of standup fights. Perez bent in with a punch and Aldo timed it perfectly with a perfect knee to the chin that knocks Perez out cold. Aldo jumps out of the cage and runs up about 20 rows high in the crowd celebrating. Perez leaned in for a jab to the body and paid the price. Jose Aldo wins by knockout round 1.
Danillo Villefort vs. Mike Campbell - Round 1 - Campbell throws a high kick right away and misses. He is bent low at the knees and is circling. Roundhouse kick to the body lands for Campbell. Villefort throws a kick and Campbell takes him down off of it. Big slam by Campbell and now Villefort works for a leglock but Campbell gets back to the feet. Knee just misses for Danillo. Campbell drops Villefort with a left but Danillo is okay. Kneebar turned into a sweep and now Villefort is on top in side control. Campbell gives up his back but is able to stand up. Hip toss by Villefort and he quickly moves to mount. A few elbows and again Campbell gives up his back. A good 40 or so punches land by Villefort to the side of Campbells head and the fight is finally stopped. Danillo Villefort wins by TKO (punches) round 1.
Scott Jorgensen vs. Frank Gomez - Round 1 - Gomez with a low kick early. Jorgensen in a lot shorter here. Shot attempt by Jorgensen and Gomez avoids almost right into a guillotine. They scramble a little bit and the guillotine gets sunk very deep and Frank Gomez is forced to tap. Scott Jorgensen wins by submission, round 1.
Jens Pulver vs. Urijah Faber - Round 1 - High kick attempt by Faber and Pulver throws him down. Back to standing and now Faber tries for a takedown but Pulver says no go. Faber pushes forward again and Pulver is able to separate again. Left hand to the liver lands HARD followed by a right hand and Pulver is hurt. Faber pounces and now locks in the guillotine and Pulver taps. Three losses in a row and Pulver did not look right at all tonight. Urijah Faber wins by submission (guillotine choke), round 1.
Pulver says he's not done and says that he does wonder if he is relevant in the division at this point.
Jamie Varner vs. Donald Cerrone for the WEC Lightweight Championship - Round 1 - Right hand lands square to the chin by Varner. Now a left lands for Cerrone. They trade shots and neither guy lands anything clean. Left hand lands for Varner and Cerrone's legs buckle. A left hand lands now and Varner takes him down which seems like an odd choice. Very high guard by Cerrone now. Varner separates and he is landing some huge bombs to the head of Cerrone. Varner is really pouring on some damage now. It's all punches and elbows and Cerrone has a very large knot on his forehead. Fourty seconds left and this is a totally one sided round. Cerrone gets back up and lands a knee to the body and then a body kick. The round ends and the last 30 seconds kept it from being a 2 point round on my card. 10-9 round for Varner. Round 2 - Varner with a takedown less than 30 seconds into the round. Side control now by Varner but quickly Cerrone gets him back in full guard. Cerrone gets right back up to his feet and we're standing again. Right hand just misses by Varner. Jab from Cerrone now and he is looking confident. Takedown by Varner as he gets tired of being walked down. More big ground n pound from Varner and then they go back to standing. Varner is looking a bit tired now. Low kicks are landing for Cerrone now. Close round with 90 seconds left. Body/Head combo lands for Varner. Lead uppercut lands on Varner's chin. Overhand right by Varner misses again. Another takedown by Varner and that may win him the round. Triangle is locked in as time expires. Very close round but I'll give it to Cerrone 10-9 (I have the fight 19-19). Round 3 - Some odd shenanegins to start the round with Varner drawing a line in the canvas and them touching gloves a few times. High kick blocked by Varner. Left hook lands for Varner and a jab from Cerrone. Body shot from Cerrone and he is looking pretty comfortable. A few right hands land hard and Cerrone's eye is bleeding badly and he stopped to wipe it so it must be bothering him. Guillotine choke by Varner gives up position and Cerrone is on top. Wall walk and they're standing. Cerrone keeps pawing at the cut, the ref should really let the doctor take a look. Left hook lands for Varner now. Cerrone's face is swolen and bloody with a minute ten seconds to go. Right hand lands for Varner again. He's slowing it down and just using his boxing a little more. Cerrone isn't quitting but Varner gets another takedown. 10-9 round for Varner as he moves ahead 29-28 on my card. Round 4 -Cerrone has to squint to see and he eats a high kick right off the start of the round. Body kick lands for Cerrone. Varner with yet another takedown and some more GnP. Solid elbow for Varner. Back to standing and a quick takedown again for Varner. Not as flashy of a round...but a save one to score for Varner. 10-9 Varner to move the card to 39-37. Round 5 - Varner with yet another double leg and he almost falls into a triangle. Cerrone is a tough dude, they're back to standing and he is still trying to walk Varner down. Takedown by Cerrone now and he is in half guard. Varner eats an illegal knee as he had more than 2 points on the ground and the fight is stopped to let the doctor take a look. Varner says he can't see so the fight is stopped. Official Scorecards: 49 - 46 Varner, 48 - 47 Cerrone and 49 - 46 Varner - Jamie Varner wins by split decision.

Let’s hope the show gets a big ratings boost from its slot right after the All-Star Game… okay probably not.

For Canadians
I hate TSN. They can go suck on one.
It’s NEVER on the main channel live. It’s always either a regular season hockey game or in this case tennis.
Please TSN just give up the rights to one of your competitors because no one gets TSN2!

TSN2 is bloody Australian Open all night. I agree, TSN needs to step it up.

Jamie Varner is going to absolutely destroy Donald Cerrone tonight.
Varner by TKO and utter domination in the 2nd. He is WAY too much for Cerrone.
Varner will show why he is a top 10 LW in the world after tonight.

Cerrone by 2nd round submission. I am feeling the triangle choke.

Why is Muira on the undercard?
Didn’t Hiromitsu Muira just give us one of the fights of the year? Didn’t he make the champ look like a chump as he judo thew him several times before gassing out? Muira should be getting more exposure. I’d love to see him against Brock Larson.

I see the main event in favor for Varner. I think “cowboy” will come forward the whole fight and Varner will counter punch and defend the takedown. Varner TKO rd4

Quick picks
Only missed on Duarte and Sidelnikov last night. Excited for this card and totally torn on the main. Should be one hell of a fight.
Just doing straight up picks on my five favorite fights.
Cerrone over Varner
Faber over Pulver
Villefort over Campbell
Aldo over Perez
Miura over Garcia
by Blackout612 on Jan 25, 2009 8:37 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I like Cerrone here. The dude can take some shots. If he can keep his hands up, he can be formidable standing. I think he can submit Varner on top or from his back.

NHL all-star game went into OT and a shootout, running to about 9:15 so sports soup was given its 30 minutes still, so VS won’t show it until this is over. I actually like sports soup because of the clips. the host I could do without

his knee was down though...
it was not intentional at all by Cerrone but it was illegal and landed right to his eye.

Varner is pussing out. He’s been looking for a way to get out for a few rounds now.

He was winning the fight...
and the knee landed to his eye…I doubt he was looking for a way out of a fight he was winning.
