George Sotiropoulos: George is a legitimate top level jiu jitsu wizard, so it comes as no surprise that he was able to control Dent. Fairly easily on the ground. He got mount in the first round, but with only 45 seconds to work, the fight saw a second round. There George got the mount again and looked for an armbar. Dent’s defense was right out of pro wrestling. He grabbed his arm with his other hand like he was Nobuhiko Takada, but that defense only works in the UWFi. George by armbar 4:36, Round 2.

technically, isnt soteropolikryosyprus a sambo guy?
The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering BROCKLESNAR; to the last I grapple with thee.
Just saw the arm defense on spike. That arm grab works just fine, thats not some fake move. The problem is that he just laid there and let Sot switch to the bicep crusher, force him to open the arm to keep it from breaking.

Now he’s just like Kos, Ken-flo and J-Lau.

Caol Uno vs. Fabricio Camoes
I met Caol Uno yesterday and he is like a little Japanese angel. His features are delicate, like a rough and tumble china doll. Perhaps I share too much? Uno has been one of my favorites since he worked as a waiter while battling the likes of Rumina Sato in SHOOTO. Now at the end of a hall of fame worthy career, Uno is stuck opening UFC cards. I cannot be sad though. I’m just happy to see him again.
Uno was almost immediately on the defensive. It looked like Camoes had a rear naked choke in solid, but Uno survived. This is the Uno story. He famously survived a Sato RNC to make his name a decade ago. It was an interesting change for Uno. Normally he is the grappler, looking to take things to the mat. Here he was the striker. Round ends with Uno on top pounding away. Good round, although tough man fans may not love it.
Round 1: Camoes
by Jonathan Snowden on Nov 21, 2009 8:18 PM EST reply actions
Uno gets top position and Camoes is penalized a point for an illegal upkick. That could be a fight changer, as close as these guys seem to be in skill. Uno controls most of the fight on the ground, with Camoes scoring occasionally standing, taking it to an older, slower Uno. Camoes comes close to finsihing with an armbar, but can’t lock the elbow and the wilely Uno escapes. Close round but…
Round 2: Camoes
by Jonathan Snowden on Nov 21, 2009 8:24 PM EST reply actions
Third round was all Uno. He controlled Camoes, maintaining top position and pounding away with punches and elbows. With the point taken away from Camoes, I think we might be looking at a rare UFC draw. Majority Draw (29-27; 28-28, 28-28) Majority Draw. No word who won the 29-27 card.

Brock Larson vs. Brian Foster
Larson is an incredibly tough guy, one with the bad fortune of being the UFC ‘s (and his own camp’s) second best Brock L. Brock Lesnar will make becoming the top Brock hard, but Larson is a prospect with real potential at 170. Coming off a surprising loss to Mike Pierce at UFN 19, Larson needs to get back on track here.
Larson spent the whole first part of the round trying for a takedown that he couldn’t see to finish. Foster got mount twice and had some vicious ground and pound. Larson nailed Foster with an illegal kick to the face while he was down, knocking him silly and losing a point. Larson finally took control and landed some knees. Unfortunately, Foster had a hand on the ground-another point gone. With the deductions, likely 10-7 Foster.

Are you at the arena?
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
Both fighters tentative to start round two, Foster because he is probably afraid a shot to the nuts is next, Larson because he is getting walloped. Two minutes of my life-gone in an instant. Foster finally lands a spinning back kick and a right hand, but a spinning back fist was too far. But he defends the Larson takedown and gets Larson down-vicious GNP follows. Holy crap, who is Brian Foster? He knocks Larson silly with an uppercut and wins when Larson taps to strikes at 3:22 of the second round.

Yeah. I’ll admit to being shocked as hell. It wasn’t competitive at all.
