As with every major show we'll be here to bring you live results and commentary on UFC 96: Jackson vs. Jardine. The real live blog will start with the beginning of the PPV broadcast so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.
As always we have our one rule: NO SPOILERS! In the interest of not ruining anything from the undercard that may make the broadcast we ask that you do not discuss the results of the undercard in the comments until either the broadcast ends or the fight makes the air.
So again, join me for the show and share your thoughts as the event unfolds.
We're live and I'm instantly excited for a show that I didn't care too much about yesterday. God bless MMA.
Gray Maynard vs. Jim Miller - Round 1 - Miller is pushing forward early and throwing two punch combos. Miller clinches with Marnard against the fence. Two punch body/head combo by Gray lands. Right hand lands for Gray flush but Miller isn't phased. Big body kick now from Jim. Miller shoots for a single and Gray lands some punches as he fights it off. Miller is bleeding from his nose pretty heavily. Miller is still working for the single but he isn't able to finish it. Another body kick by Miller. The round ends with Gray landing another right hand and it was a clear Marnard round. Maynard 10-9. Round 2 - Two punch combo by Maynard is blocked. Leg kick cracks for Miller and he lands a right hand right after. Right hand lands for Gray. Big body shot by Gray now. What looked to be a clean leg kick gets a low blow warning for Jim now. Big right by Gray again. Jim goes for a single and pulls guard but Maynard stands back up. Right hand lands clean for Gray again. Miller with a few leg kicks but Maynard starts to throw the power shots again. They exchange shots as the round ends but Maynard won it clear on the card again. 10-9 Maynard makes it 20-18 on my card. Round 3 - Three punch combo by Maynard. Straight right continues to find a home on Miller's face. Jim is game but he just doesn't seem like he has the right answer here. Gray with a takedown and Miller comes very close to locking in a kneebar but Maynard escapes. Miller with another shot attempt but he can't finish it yet again. Miller keeps working but cant finish and now he pulls guard and is eating punches from Gray. They go back to standing and the round ends. Gray was just too much for the very tough Miller. My scorecard ends at 30-27 for Maynard. Official Scorecards: 30-27 across the board. Gray Maynard wins by unanimous decision.
Matt Hamill vs. Mark Munoz - Round 1 - Hamill pushes forward and stuffs a double from Mark. Flurry of punches land for Hamill and Munoz grabs a single but can't finish. Overhand right for Munoz lands twice but it's crazy how wide his punches are. Body shots from Munoz now and those are much better than the looping shots. Now another flurry of shots from Hamill. A few more wide punches land for Munoz but he's losing the fight on the feet to Matt's better striking technique. Another wide right lands for Munoz. High kick from Hamill lands flush and Munoz is out cold. Wow, I can honestly say I didn't een consider that as a possible ending to this fight. Matt Hamill wins by KO (high kick), round 1.
Frank Mir is talking to Goldie and says they took out 50 bone fragments and some scar tissue and it will be 5 weeks out from the fight before he can spar so he is wanting to push the fight to July 11 rather than not have a full training camp.
Rashad Evans will defend his title in place of the Frank Mir fight. If Jardine wins it will be Evans/Machida, if Rampage wins it will be Evans/Jackson.
Pete Sell vs. Matt Brown - As a liveblogger I love fights like this. Easy last names to type make my job so much easier! Round 1 - High kick right away by Brown is blocked but a superman punch lands as does another head kick then a right hand drops Sell. Yves jumps in for a second and then decides to let them go after Brown stopped attacking. So Brown comes back in and drops him with a knee/right hand combo. Big elbows wna d Sell's mouthpiece is out. Sell's legs are rubber and he falls down on his own. This fight has gone on WAY too long and finally as Sell lays on his back Brown lands a couple punches forcing Yves to jump in. Matt Brown wins by TKO (punches), round 1.
Kendall Grove vs. Jason Day - Round 1 - undercard action here. Day pushing forward and landing shots. Grove still looks like he doesn't like pressure. Big right hand and Day goes stiff as a board and is out cold. The night of brutal knockouts continues. Kendall Grove wins by KO (punch), round 1.
Shane Carwin vs. Gabriel Gonzaga - Round 1 - Carwin charges in with punches but Gonzaga lands some clean punches and Carwin's eyes rolled. Now Gonzaga gets a quick takedown and Carwin pulls guard. Carwin stands up. RIGHT HAND FROM CARWIN AND GONZAGA IS OUT! What a night! Shane Carwin wins by KO (punch), round 1.
Tamdan McCrory vs. Ryan Madigan - Round 1 - More undercard action here. Madigan with a few kicks and McCrory with a quick takedown. Tamdan to side control. Tamdan stands up and lands a few big right hands but does end up back in Madigan's full guard. Pass to side control again and now to full mount. Attempt at a triangle from the top and he ends up back in side control. Tamdan gets careless and gives away his leg but Ryan doesn't have the game to take advantage. Now back to full mount and he is punishing Madigan forcing the ref to stop the fight. Madigan is bloody and had no answer on the ground whatsoever. Tamdan McCrory wins by submission (strikes), round 1.
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. Keith Jardine - Main event time! Round 1 - Odd staredown and nipple tweak by Jardine and we're going. Rampage is clinching with Jardine against the fence and is throwing knees to the legs and the crowd is booing about 30 seconds in. They're separated and Jardine with 3 punches. Two punches and back out now and a leg kick from Jardine. Jardine is throwing a few shots and getting out which is very smart. Takedown attempt is stuffed by Jackson. Jardine with a punch and now looking for a takedown but he gives up and lands another punch. Jackson has yet to figure out Jardine's timing. Leg kick and back out. Right hand by Jackson finally lands but Jardine is able to answer with a punch of his own. Body kick by Jardine is caught. Uppercut lands for Jackson but Jardine survives. Knee to the body lands for Jardine. Close round but I'll give it to Jardine 10-9. Round 2 - Right hand lands clean by Jackson as does a low kick. Body kick by Jardine but a right hand answer by Jackson. Head kick is blocked by Jackson. Good leg kick by Jardine now. Another leg kick lands...and another....and another. Left hook by Jackson drops Jardine but Keith gets to his feet after eating some punishment on the ground. Impressive for Keith to survive that. Low kick by Jardine again. Double leg by Rampage now and Jardine stands right back up. Low kick lands on the cup of Jackson. They go back to fighting, uppercut by Jardine stumbles Rampage. Keith unloads and Rampage buckles but doesn't go down. That makes this a very close round with 40 seconds to go. Rampage flurries and that should cement the round for him. 10-9 Rampage and I've got it even on my card. Round 3 - Body kick from Keith lands. Right hand glances for Jardine and Jackson lands a body kick of his own. Takedown by Jackson and he is in Jardine's half guard. Jardine stands right back up without taking any damage. Leg kick lands for Keith. And another. This is a really difficult fight to score. Another leg kick. Sneaky right hand lands for Jardine on Jackson's jaw. Jackson is having trouble timing Jardine to be able to pull the trigger. Hook lands for Rampage and Jardine ducks away from any more damage. Takedown attempt for Keith is stuffed. One minute left and they're restarted. Right hands land for both guys and Rampage lands some nice punches afterward. This is a really, really difficult fight to score. Jardine is dropped with a right hand at the end of the round. I was going to give him the round but now I have to give it to Jackson. My card is 29-28 Jackson. Official Scorecards: 29-28, 29-28, 30-27. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson wins by unanimous decision.
It will be Quinton Jackson vs. Rashad Evans for the title.
Brandon Vera vs. Mike Patt - Round 1 - Vera with some tough leg kicks early. Patt looks like his job may be "punching bag" tonight. It's just leg kicks and quick combos for Vera. Right hand lands to Patt's forehead. Vera is just mashing him with leg kicks here. Another leg kick and Patt fals down but he gets up to get some more. It's just more of the same as the round ends. 10-9 Vera. Round 2 - Another series of leg kicks and as Patt hops around on one leg Vera runs in and lands another leg kick that puts him down. he lets him stand and lands ANOTHER huge leg kick that puts Patt down and the fight is over. Brandon Vera wins by TKO (leg strikes), round 2.
Jason Brilz vs. Tim Boetsch - Round 1 - Right hand by Tim and then a bit knee. Brilz is having to cover up here. Uppercut/left hook combo (my personal favorite) for Tim. Brilz with a fully in the clinch. Beautifully timed takedown off of the kick for Brilz. Boetsch stands back up though. Brilz with a right hand over the top and he is settling in now. Right hand lands flush for Tim. Uppercut lands again for Tim. Boetsch is back to winning the striking battle. Boetsch is throwing big shots as the round ends. 10-9 Boetsch. Round 2 - Right hand lands for Brilz but not hard. His corner wants him to get a takedown but he keeps getting into that striking mode. Brilz does grab the takedown this time though. Pass to side control but he isn't doing a whole ton with it. Knees to the body now. North south position now and Brilz works over the body. Guillotine attempt by Brilz but he can't finish, still in side control though. Clear 10-9 round for Brilz. Round 3 - Boetsch avoids the takedown early. Overhand right lands for Tim. Knee to the body lands but Brilz works through it and tries for a takedown before taking Tim's back. They're back up. Brilz with another takedown, side control, full mount and lands some good shots before the round ends. 29-28 Brilz on my card. Official Scorecards: 29-28 across the board. Jason Brilz wins by unanimous decision.

2 things:
1) Why are they booing? This is a good fight. There’s even blood!
2) This is why I don’t gamble on MMA. I thought Miller would own Maynard.
Sigh to #2
…Yeah it’s a good fight.
I just don’t think it improves people’s opinion on Gray as an exciting fighter. Still very good though.

I say 10-8 Gray

Not dominating
Gray was a little bit passive for 10-8. Effective striking though.

10-9 maynard, but close.

That was an absolutely retarded move on Maynard’s part, and he almost paid for it.

Yes.
I think he was just thinking that in a close round, 1 takedown can make up the judges’ minds.

Lavigne should be suspended.
There must be a way for the athletic commission to do that. BAD BAD BAD.
When the attacking fighter
is telling you he doesn’t want to hit the guy anymore…stop the damn fight, Yves.
Yves lavigne is going to be reffing scrub fights for a while.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
Simple...
because if the guy is attacking he shouldn’t be punished by knocking the other guy’s mouthpiece out. Also, it keeps fighters from spitting it out to "get a break.

True, but it can happen by accident.
Obviously you should deduct points if a guy is continuously spitting it out. But I don’t want to see guys get they’re teeth jammed in their upper lips because they took a shot without their piece.
What the mother fuck was that Yves?
First off if you stop the fight then stop the god damn fight. You don’t let a guy recover and go “fight fight fight” then as Sell falls all over the ring on rubber legs eating huge shots STOP THE FUCKING FIGHT!
THAT is the kind of thing that you see death from in boxing. Sustained punishment to a guy who already suffered severe brain trauma.

It also happened in the Sinosic Bisping fight and the Nakamura/Emerson fights.
There was also another one that happened lately. But getting hit in the face without a mouthpiece REALLY does alot of damage.

Brown looked great!
Too bad Lavigne’s terrible reffing is pulling attention away from Brown. He’s finally living up to his potential.
Matt Brown just earned a ton of respect
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
That was terrible by Yves, particularly coming straight after Munoz was just killed dead and stretchered out. Awesome showing from Brown though, both during the fight and then with his class in not wanting to destroy poor Sell.
Sell was slurring his words after the fight.

this is turning out to be one of the most brutal UFCs in recent memory. who’s getting KO of the night?
The most important thing in my mind is that Carwin was able to get back to standing with an expert BJJ guy on top of him after he’d been hit hard. Good heart and good defense on the bottom.
That, IMO, is the biggest good sign about Carwin. Gonzaga is a beast on top, and Carwin got up AFTER getting rocked.

I really don’t think it’s that.
When you own a stadium/radio station you sign a thing with all the record companies together and you pretty much pay one price to play whatever the hell songs you want.
i don’t know what the hell Thunderhorse is, but if they’re on the radio, it’s probably an option.
There is a difference between airing the songs live and on tape. That’s why they don’t show entrances or add shitass music to them on Unleashed, undercard fights, DVDs, etc.
With it being from a TV show...
the situation may have been different and the UFC may have not wanted to deal with it. But honestly I’m just throwing darts blindfolded at this point.

I think Rashad is a better stylistic matchup for Rampage
than Jardine was. Rashad is clearly a better fighter than Jardine, but both Rampage and Rashad are extremely dangerous counter-punchers. Probably edge Rashad, but if Jackson comes into the fight in good shape, it will be entertaining.

He is just always looking for the knockout I think, he’s smart about it though. He is just constantly trying to set up the knockout, and doesn’t use his wrestling at all. I mean, he arguably out wrestled Hendo, so it’s there. I don’t know if he really trusts his GnP though.

It's called commuting on weekdays at 6 AM

Vera beat an inferior opponent. Congrats, you're the new gabe gonzaga.

Can't wait until some wrestler works him.

like I said...
this is the Vera career path. Beat a scrub, lose to a contender, beat a scrub…etc

Jon jones would work him.

He might. Jones just needs to iron out some rough edges. The dude is an athlete.

jones still has a lot of holes so i think right now vera can take him.. but in the future, i dont know..

I'd go Jones all the way.
Vera is definitely more well-rounded, but that fight ends up on the ground in about a minute. From there, greater discipline in the striking game means almost nothing, and it’s not that hard to keep side control and grind on your opponents’ face with elbows.
Besides, Jones is way more entertaining than Vera. You’ve gotta pull for the guy.
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
Yep.
This doesn’t prove much except that Vera isn’t done. He’s got a lot of potential, but this was Mike Patt.

...You like seeing mismatches?
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
It doesn't seem like a mismatch to me
Especially since I can’t figure out who you’re thinking is the favorite.
Oh hey guys, I missed that fight, I was taking pictures of these chocolate marshmallow eggs. I’m gonna assume Mike Patt won.

Why you got to kick a guy when he’s down…with a messed up leg from being kicked while he was standing?
by Cannon Jacques on Mar 8, 2009 12:37 AM EST up reply actions
Why not both?

I'm being sarcastic.
Myth and I have this running argument about Brock being good or just being big.
I think you’re dead-on. Carwin is both huge, and really good at translating his size and strength inside the cage.

Why don’t we get to see Shane Nelson’s fight?

Head kicks are so much more dramatic.
Carwin and his short clothesline of a right hand will have to wait.

50 BE bucks says carwin gets it..
the KO has more meaning and was against better competition..

Someone once did a really nasty racist Wikipedia entry on a future fight card that only had one or two announced fights at the time, making it an all-African-American card and dumping in some nauseating epithets.
This, on the other hand, is kind of funny given Rampage’s comments. But Wiki will still get it down soon.
I’m gonna write about this but the commentary was so RIDICULOUSLY pro Jardine that it was ridiculous. Look, putting a guy’s training partner on color is ridiculous, but I understand with him as champion, but all three rounds it was a keith Jardine lovefest.
keith lands leg kick, rampage simultaneously lands check left hook
Joe Rogan: "nice leg kick by Jardine.’
I also liked when they tried to figure out how Rampage got hurt. Maybe it was the Ric Flair style low blow.
Also, I used the word ridiculous there a lot.

I'd love to see
Terry Etim and Pete Sell on the commentating team. It would be like attending a foreign language immersion course…in Guido-speak and whatever-the-fuck British dialect Etim attemtpts to sepak.
youre obviously a rampage fan too. :p

I didn’t care for the end result. I just don’t care to hear a dude cheer for his teammate. RIDICULOUS.
by Cannon Jacques on Mar 8, 2009 12:46 AM EST up reply actions
It’s just the talking points.
Everyone was talking about leg kicks, so whenever Jardine throws a leg kick everyone gets excited.
They did the same thing when Rampage was doing those duck down/looping hooks and stuff.
That’s my major problem with the Rogan/Goldy, they get something in their head and they dont’ shut up about it, ever.
Like the stats about people passing Fitch’s guard during GSP/Fitch and how awesome GSP is about takedowns.
WAR RAMPAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
That staredown trash talk was thw shizz!
Mike Goldberg: "You know Joe, When Matt and his brother Mark Hughes were growing up, they would pound each other behind the barn."
Oh come on...
lighten up

You have to be kidding me, right? The difference, this is for a REAL fight. Did you see Rampage kick Rashad in the stomach and do the Stone Cold stunner on him or something? This isn’t ANYTHING like WWE, just good ole trash talking and trust me it worked. My friends and I were eating that shit up. Super hyped now!

Two hours until Dream?
I’m not sure I can make it.
Gonzaga, glass jaw?looked like a Petruzzeli jab but Carwin is HUGE so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Carwin hasn’t gone past 1:45 in his last ten fights, guy has obscene power,
by Michaelthebox on Mar 8, 2009 12:55 AM EST up reply actions
It was a right hook
and was on the button. Ain’t nothin’ ’bout no glass jaw with that punch

I thought Gonzaga could have taken a few more shots he didn’t seem totally knocked out

This was one of my favorite shows in a long time. Just a blast with a very intriguing and long main event.
Agreed.
Completely outperformed expectations. Lots of flashy endings, some good drama, and title picture implications scattered throughout the card. Good stuff.
