As with every major show, Bloodyelbow.com will be here to bring you live results and commentary for UFC 99: The Comback - Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva. The card will also feature Cheick Kongo vs. Cain Velasquez. The live blog will start with the beginning of the PPV broadcast (3pm ET) 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 us for the show and share your thoughts as the event unfolds.
The broadcast has started and the first fight will be up shortly.
Dan Hardy vs. Marcus Davis - This should get the card off on the right foot! I'm stoked for this fight! Round 1 - Body kick misses for Davis as they feel each other out early. Davis charges in for the takedown and has Hardy against the fence. Hardy has an underhook to prevent the takedown. Finally Davis is able to get the takedown and Davis has the mount. Hardy gets half guard and then full guard. Very high guard by Hardy but Davis gets up. Hardy gives up his back trying to stand up. Hardy is trying to reverse but isn't having any luck. Hardy is able to stand and Davis is gassing a little. Big shots from Hardy and Davis is hurt. Davis is cut and the round ends. Very close with Hardy hurting him toward the end and Davis is all swollen and looks really tired. 10-9 Davis. Round 2 - Davis with a flying knee attempt and Hardy counters with a left. Again a counter left hook from Hardy. Davis with a counter right now. They're trading and Hardy witht the better shots. Knee from Hardy and Davis goes down! Hardy follows him down and land some shots but Davis is recovering. Davis with and armbar attempt and it was deep but Hardy got his arm out. Davis using some elbows off his back. They're stood up by the ref. Left hand by Hardy and Davis pushes him against the cage. Knee to the body by Hardy and they split. Left hand by Davis lands flush. Davis with a takedown and a few punches. 10-9 round for Hardy on the strength of the knockdown. Round 3 - Left hand by Davis and Hardy slips so Davis follows him down. A little bit of damage by Davis from the top. Davis goes for a toe hold, then a heel hook but can't finish and Hardy is able to stand up. Hardy with a takedown. Big elbow now by Hardy. BIG cut on Davis' nose. The fight is stopped to check the cut and he is unable to stand up well. They continue the fight. That cut and obvious wobbly legs from Davis make me want to give the round to Hardy as he was obviously more effective from on top. They're stood back up. Left hook from Hardy. Leg kick from Hardy. Left again from Hardy. Left hook AGAIN from Hardy. The round ends and I score it 10-9 Hardy. They shake hands. And Hardy walks over to say good fight to Davis' corner. My final scorecard is 29-28 Hardy. Official Scorecards: 29-28 Hardy, 29-28 Davis, 29-28 Hardy. Dan Hardy wins by split decision. Davis is upset but it's hard to complain. Hardy tries to shake his hand and Davis refuses. He was willing to shake hands when he thought he won, so obviously respect only counts when you win, if you lose you can be a baby.
Spencer Fisher vs. Caol Uno - Round 1 - Low kick from Fisher. Shot from Uno is stuffed by a nice sprawl by Fisher. Uno now presses Fisher against the cage. Fisher with some knees while he has double underhooks. Boos are starting as almost the whole fight to this point has been clinching against the cage. They're restarted in the center of the cage. Left hand just misses for Fisher. Solid outside leg kick by Fisher and now a good uppercut. Uno with another takedown attempt and Fisher defends. Some knees to the body now by Fisher. Back to being pushed against the cage and the crowd isn't loving it. Fisher landed a lot of knees to the body. 10-9 Fisher. Not an entertaining round. Round 2 - Takedown by Uno and they stand. Another takedown attempt and Fisher defends. Two solid leg kicks by Uno and another shot is stuffed. Fisher lands a knee to the body and then ends up on bottom. Nice sweep to get back to the feet by Spencer. Again they clinch against the cage. I like Uno but this fight isn't going to keep him on main cards in the future. Takedown attempt by Fisher and uno ends up on top. They end up standing though. 10-9 Uno I guess. This fight is ugly and not very entertaining. Round 3 - Nice left hand by Fisher and Uno immediately tries for a takedown. Not much action at all this round. Fisher unloads with a few punches and a knee to the body and Uno gets a takedwoan and gets the mount. Uno landing some nice shots from on top and Fisher briefly got half buard back but Uno back to mount and he lands some more shots. 10-9 round for Uno and I guess he wins 29-28. Official Scorecards: 29-28 across the board for Spencer Fisher. Spencer Fisher wins by unanimous decision.
Mike Swick vs. Ben Saunders - Round 1 - Saunders pulls guard right away. Swick is landing some punches to the body but Saunders has control over Swick's body. Swick asks if Saunders is going to hold him all night. Saunders says "lets stand back up bitch." They speak better with their mouthpieces in than I do. They're stood back up. They each land some shots and clinch up again against the cage. Knee to the head by Saunders. The round ends and I guess it was 10-9 Swick. Round 2 - Head kick blocked by Swick. Swick grabs a clinch and gets a takedown and ends up in full mount. Saunders gets guard back. Saunders now locks up a body triangle but had to let go. They're stood back up. Swick with a knee and Saunders with one in return. Swick lands a big flurry and Saunders goes down! The fight is over! Mike Swick wins by TKO (punches), round 1.
Mirko Cro-Cop Filipovic vs. Mustapha Al-Turk - Round 1 - Right hand by Al-Turk lands flush. Takedown attempt is shrugged off. Al-Turk is pressing and throwing a lot but hasn't really landed since the first punch. Cro Cop's hands look really slow.Punches lnad for Mirko now and Al-Turk is running away. Al-Turk is down! Mirko has him stand up. Mirko lands a shot and Al-Turk turns away. Many punches and the fight is stopped. Mirko Filipovic wins by TKO (punches), round 1. Very clear that the final flurry was started by a very bad eye poke by Mirko.
Cain Velasquez vs. Cheick Kongo - Round 1 - Kongo jabbing early. Two big right hands rock Cain and he still manages to get a takedown. He was hurt badly. Kongo stands up and they're scrambling. Cain learned awful quickly that he isn't good enough standing to play that game with Kongo. Cain with side control and Kongo lands a few elbows, now full mount. Kongo gives up his back and Cain with a choke attempt. Kongo avoida and again gives up his back. Cain is just mugging him on the ground. Kongo gives up his back again and eats a lot of shots. Kongo is constantly trying to get up but Velasquez is controling him and landing a lot of dammage. They stand and again big takedown by Cain, and into full mount. Gives up his back again and now is mounted again. The round is going to end and thank god he rocked Cain early because otherwise it'd have been 10-8. 10-9 Cain. Round 2 - Kongo hurts him again but for some reason clinches with him. Takedown now by Cain because Kongo decided to spend a bunch of time clinching with him. Cain on top landing shots again. Not a lot else to say but that Cain is landing a lot of punches. They stand for a second and Cain with a takedown. More dominant position and damage from Cain. Knees to the body by Cain. The round ends and 10-9 again. Round 3 - A big right by Kongo again but he's grappling with Cain again. Kongo gets the takedown but ends up on bottom shortly anyway. They stand up and Kongo defends the takedown. Kongo hurts him again! But charges in so recklessly that he gets taken down again. Cain in the mount landing punches and now Kongo trying to punch up at him. The round ends and 10-9 again (but feel free to score any of them 10-8) 30-27 on my card. Official Scorecards: no scorecards given, Cain Velasquez wins by unanimous decision.
Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva - Round 1 - Feeling out for over a minute. Straight left by Franklin misses. Each guy lands a left. Both guys land punches again. Body kick by Rich lands. High kick by Wanderlei just misses. Wanderlei catches a body kick and takes Rich down. Some GNP by Silva and now they stand. Silva tries to lock in a guillotine and instead ends up on bottom. Rich opens up a cut over Wanderlei's eye and gets mount but they go back to standing. 10-9 Franklin. Round 2 - Rich says he broke Wanderlei's nose. They come out and again it is at a distance where Silva is not going to be able to easilly win and Rich can get in and out safely. Rich with a few nice shots. It's more of the same with Rich standing outside and getting in and out while Wanderlei telegraphs his shots and can't land. It's an active fight but very repetitive so there isn't a lot to type here. Left/right combo buckles Rich a little bit. Wanderlie is pushing forward and landing shots but Rich comes back and lands one of his own. The round ends with both guys looking a bit shaken. Very close round but I guess 10-9 Franklin for controling more of the round. Round 3 - Franklin is picking him apart again now. Body kicks and occasional straight punches. Body kick lands to Wanderlei's cup but they keep going. Big shot by Franklin. Silva gets the clinch and hits a knee. They are trading big shots now and Wanderlei is winning the exchange. Takedown by Rich but Silva is able to tand back up. The fight ends with Wanderlei throwing a bunch of back elbows and Right throwing punches. 10-9 Silva. Another pretty hard round to score. 29-28 Franklin in my book. Official Scorecardsgive it to Franklin across the board. Rich Franklin wins by unanimous decision.

and honestly I always bitch about the “honor, respect, always shake hands” mentality of the sport. Sometimes you don’t like guys. I just thought it was funny that he was willing to shake hands BEFORE he lost

Marcus Davis won that fight since there was a winner. He knocked down Hardy in the 3rd, was active on top for half the round, then Hardy does a couple of shots from the bottom and maintains position and wins, it was horse shit. It should of been a draw, because I think the second round was 10-8

That wasn't a knockdown in the 3rd...
it was clearly a slip.
They both worked from on top in the round and Hardy both cut him and hurt him.

what most americans don't understand is..
when youre coming from a country that is small.. (which is almost all countries in comparison to the super power), you get proud of every little thing that guys like from your place does..
just like how people from small towns are proud of everyone that comes out of that town and makes it big..,
sure you didnt achieve anything, but being born there and representing your country makes you feel that pride/nationalism..

I hate this card. It’s full of fail in every way just as I initially thought. I’m never changing my mind about anything ever again (unless Wandy wins).

Pretty impressed with Kongo’s toughness

Man, that was hella boring. Both dudes looked B grade. Cain controlled well, thats it. Kongo…..nothing well.

I didnt find that entertaining at all. Cain was never gonna finish the fight throwing the strikes he was and seemed oblivious to any opportunity for submissions. Once it was clear how the fight was gonna turn out I kinda lost interest.

kongo should be working on his take down defense with page, but then again, page is no longer a wrestler.

I don’t understand why kongo kept clinching with cain after he landed a couple nice shots.

Boy...
Cain did not impress me. His wrestling is good and he is good at control. But he had a guy on short notice and he was mounted and had back control for like 90% of that fight and couldn’t finish? That’s scary to me.

Different strokes, I guess – he just dominated Cheick Kongo for three rounds. Color me impressed.

It's impressive that he won...
and was dominant. But he got hurt over and over and didn’t look good at anything other than “control”
He’s young and could still be great, I just expected a bit more from him.

He impressed me with his control, but I think we should all take a breath and remember he has had 6 fights. Obviously, he has a lot of improvement to make in JJ and in finishing.

I don’t know how great Cain’s wrestling is. It’s obviously very good, but it’s not at an unreal level. I don’t think he would easily take down guys like Randy, Brock, and Carwin. At that point, he needs to improve his kickboxing bigtime.

I was all set to dislike Cain but he was very humble in his post fight interview sayng he has a lot to learn and thanking Kongo for taking the fight on short notice. Very classy,

It isn’t ironic that Kongo beat Cro Cop and Al Turk. It isn’t ironic that Dan Henderson has beat Silva and lands more power shots.
Ugh.

Just a thought on Cain vs. Carwin—both fought guys on a similar level at heavyweight, and their performances were pretty opposite. Carwin got dominated until he crushed Gonzaga with a powerful right hand, suggesting his game has tons of holes but he has insane finishing ability. Cain, on the other hand, had holes exposed as well but dominated for 15 minutes and would undoubtedly win this fight 9 out of 10 times. Carwin against Gonzaga…I think its more like 5 out of 10.
by Michael Rome on Jun 13, 2009 5:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
agreed
but the finishing ability of Carwin is going to make him way more marketable
by Mocha Shaka Khan on Jun 13, 2009 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Velasquez will probably develop more finishing ability. Its easy to forget he’s had maybe 3 years of striking training.
