The Versus broadcast has started. First fight up shortly.
Josh Grispi vs. Jens Pulver - Round 1 -Pulver with a body kick and now Grispi with one of his own and a right hand. Pulcer with a takedown and lands right in a deep arm-in guillotine and despite putting up a valiant fight Pulver is forced to tap out. He is heartbroken as is the norm these days. Josh Grispi wins by submission (guillotine choke), round 1.
Jens says that he started there and wants to retire there so he said he is done. It's time honestly, the crowd gives him a great reaction. Good for Jens. Actually now he says he may not be done but it sounds like he is. We'll see.
James Krause vs. Donald Cerrone - 30 minutes in, we've had 30 seconds of fights and we're about to go to a pre-fight commercial. (36 minutes in and the fight starts) Round 1 - Body kick from Cerrone and Krause tries for a takedown but Cerrone avoids. Now a takedown by Krause. Cerrone with a triangle attempt into an omoplata but can't get it. Another takedown by Krause and Cerrone with an omoplata again, this one is much deeper and Krause rolls out and pulls guard. Ground and pound from Cerrone now. Krause works a sub but cant get it, then uses a leg lock attempt to sweep and they're back to standing. High kick from Krause misses. James looks like he is gassing a little bit here. Cerrone with a few punches. Single leg attempt from Krause and now Cerrone grabs a guillotine but lets go and lands a knee. Left, right combo drops Krause. Cerrone takes his back now and is working to finish with a choke. Abandons it and starts to work strikes fromt he back. Back to the choke and it is deep, forcing Krause to tap out. Donald Cerrone wins by submission (rear naked choke), round 1.
Scott Jorgensen vs. Antonio Banuelos - Undercard action here. Round 1- Banuelos with some big shots and Jorgensen is hurt badly. Now a takedown by Banuelos. Jorgensen stands up but eats some punches in the process. Jorgensen keeps wincing for some reason. More big shots from Antonio whenever Scott throws one. Banuelos connecting again with big combinations and he looks really sharp. Jorgensen with a nice knee to the body and the round ends. 10-9 Banuelos on the bloodyelbow scorecard. Round 2 - Another right hand from Banuelos who is featuring some really good hand speed. Banuelos drops his head down and almost gets caught in a choke but he is fine. Jorgensen with a flurry of uppercuts but Banuelos gets space and lands another right hand. Right hand, right uppercut from Scott lands flush. A few more flurries but Jorgensen is starting to catch up a little bit. Two punch combo finished with a body kick. Another few punches as the round ends and it was a closer round. 10-9 Banuelos for a total of 20-18 for me. Round 3 - They're trading shots. Banuelos goes for a single leg and almost gets caught in a guillotine but circles out and they're back to standing. Jorgensen lands and now a left and right from Banuelos. This is a really good fight. Banuelos is slowing down and Jorgensen is landing more now. Huge knee from Jorgensen and now a big right from Antonio. They exchange and both men land repeatedly. Scramble now and Jorgensen has Banuelos' back. Now sinks in the choke for a second but couldn't finish it. Banuelos stands up with 35 seconds remaining. Single leg and Jorgensen is on top. Banuelos is bleeding and the fight is over. 10-9 round for Jorgensen and I have it 29-28 Banuelos. Official Scorecards: 29-28 Banuelos, 29-28 Jorgensen, 29-28 Banuelos. Antonio Banuelos wins by split decision. Absolutely great fight. Awesome, awesome stuff.
Jose Aldo vs. Cub Swanson - Round 1 - Um...flying knee from Aldo and Swanson is down. A few more punches and it's all over. 10 second KO there. Jose Aldo wins by KO, round 1. ...yikes. Dude is a finisher.
Rolando Perez vs. Seth Dikun - More undercard action. Round 1 - Dikun jumps into a triangle early in the round. Finally after a long period in the choke Perez was forced to tap out. Seth Dikun wins by submission (triangle choke), round 1.
Mike Campbell vs. Anthony Pettis- Round 1 - Pettis grabs a deep guillotine and Campbell slams to get out of it, so Pettis grabs an armbar but again Campgell escapes. Finally Pettis is able to force a tap. Anthony Pettis wins by submission, round 1.
Mike Brown vs. Urijah Faber for the WEC Featherweight Championship - Round 1 - Body kick misses for Faber. High kick now that misses as Brown is trying to close distance. Brown gets underhooks as they clinch up. Elbow by Brown and he separates. High kick by Faber lands. Quick two punch combo by Faber now. Left hook lands for Brown (who is cut) and Faber almost grabs a guillotine but Brown is in side control. Brown gets the back but Faber stands up. Now Brown is landing knees from standing back control. Overhand right from Brown. Both men hit right hands. High kick by Faber and Brown sweeps his leg out from under him. Brown on top in side control. Faber gets to his knees and Brown starts landing shots as they stand up. 10-9 round for Faber but it was very close. Round 2- Brown flurries with Faber against the fence and lands some good shots. Right hand from Brown and he takes Faber down. Elbows the ribs now. Elbow to the face. Brown just working to control the ground fight. They stand and Brown lands shots from standing back control and gets another takedown. Faber reverses and they're back to standing still with Faber's back pushed against the cage. Really good fight so far. Right hand by Urijah lands. Jab by Brown. Left hook by Mike. Standing back control for Brown and an uppercut lands for him as they separate. 10-9 round fro Brown evens up the fight on my card. Round 3 - Body shot by Faber lands. Elbow by Faber and they go to the ground with Brown looking for a guillotine. It forces Urijah to give up position and now Faber gives his back up. Brown is just landing punches now but Faber stands up. Knee for Faber lands. Left hand by Faber is blocked. Clinching against the cage again and as they go to the ground Faber briefly is on top. Now Brown grabs a heel hook but they stand up again. Faber may have a broken right hand. Right hand by Brown catches Faber as he threw a leg kick. Faber is only working elbows now and his left hand may be broken as well. The round ends and I have it 10-9 for Brown again making it 29-28 Brown. Round 4 - They played between rounds audio of Faber saying his hand is broken. Right hand by Brown now. Flurry of uppercuts in the clinch by Brown. Punches land for Brown and Urijah looks hurt (and is throwing open hand strikes). They're slowing down as both guys are tired. Elbows by Urijah in the clinch. Body shot by Brown hurts Faber now and he backs up. Brown is starting to take over the round a little here in the last 2 minutes. Faber is hampered by the broken hand so he just can't use all the tools he wants to. 10-9 Brown to make it 39-37 on my card. Round 5 - Jab by Brown. Body kick by Faber. Takedown by Brown. Mike now takes the back but Faber stands up again. Left hook by Brown. Brown is pushing Faber against the fence. Urijah tries for a guillotine but gets slammed. Brown with a few punches on the ground and they go back to standing. Left hook lands again fro Brown. Brown ducks under and elbow and gets a takedown. Again Faber gives up his back and stands up. Brown still has his back standing. Oh my god! Faber grabs a deep choke with about two minutes left but he has to let go. Back to standing and Brown has him against the fence. Brown with a nice double-leg that should clinch the round for him. Elbow by Faber and time expires. 10-9 Brown again and I had it 49-46. It'd take robbery for this to not be a win for Brown. Official Scorecards: 49-46 x2, 48-47. Mike Brown wins by unanimous decision.

Todd Bridges with a stiff jab. Vanilla Ice Van Winkle is throwing arm punches. He’s got no head movement. He eats a left and a right. He’s looking winded. But he makes it to the bell. BE has this one 30-27 for Bridges.

Everybody talks about when Brown tossed Faber to the floor but in that hindsight they seem to ignore the fact that Faber was throwing a knee at the time

Faber had a very fast left hand in that fight as well.
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
It wasn't domination...
it was a pretty even fight with Faber using his speed and Brown his strength.

If Faber can beat Brown, I’ll be impressed. He can certainly do it, but I just think Brown just may be too damn big.

It’s interesting how much weight (yuk yuk) people put into a person being supposedly 5lbs heavier than someone else.
When you’re both really, really, really good at everything, that can make all the difference.
by Derek Suboticki on Jun 7, 2009 9:11 PM EDT up reply actions
5 pounds isn’t a big deal when you’re talking about the difference between 250 and 255, but it’s a pretty big difference when you talk about 150 and 155.

The more successful Frank is as a fighter, the worse he is as a commentator. Kenny may be the opposite.

Kenny being the opposite would mean he'd be good.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
I meant Kenny’s commentating and fighting success move in the same direction. In all honesty, there’s probably no correlation at all, at least with Kenny.
by Cannon Jacques on Jun 7, 2009 9:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Ah. Fucking logic tests has me all screwed up. I just think Frank’s a little too much of a company man, which he tries to back up with his actual knowledge of the sport. It comes off pretty douchey. Kenny at least understands that, sure, the org might want one guy to win, but they don’t want the impression that the guy he beat is a chump.

It’s a helluva lot better than him retiring in an emotional state and wanting to fight in a week. Then he looks even more like a shot fighter doing it for the money (which I don’t believe about Jens).

I guess that was Cubs first time, huh. Should practice more sparring if he’s not use to getting hit.
It is to say 'he shouldn't have gone down'
Because you’ve never gone down to any kind of shot ever. I might as well give pregnant women advice on ‘sucking it up’ when they get morning sickness.

apples and oranges
or are you saying that people should drop and cover from foot stomps?
See how we can play the “change the facts” game…
A fighter should drop and cover whenever he has to – and not take shit from people that have never taken a shot saying they bitched out. You simply don’t know.

You said a guy who is hurt...
shouldn’t just cover up. A body shot doesn’t knock you out…so covering up is lame. Same as getting dropped with a punch and covering up. You said :
He got hit, he fell and turtled. Pro fighter should be use to being hit…
So anyone who gets hurt from a shot and turtles to avoid further punishment is a pussy right?

Getting punched and dazed is different from getting hit hard with a knee and getting cut. trust me.
