Josh Neer vs. Kurt Pellegrino - Round 1 - Neer is pushing forwardand Pellegrino with a right hand that lands. Pellegrino with a great takedown and now Neer is throwing elbows off his back as Kurt passes to half guard. Neer back to full guard and he eats an elbow. Neer grabs an armbar and Pellegrino slams him to escape. Neer again working for an arm but he can't lock it up and Pellegrino lands a couple shots and passes to half guard again. Rogan and Goldie are really overrating Neers stand-up game while trying to hype his ground game.Pellegrino working elbows out of the half guard now. The round ends and it should be a Kurt round 10-9. Round 2 - Pellegrino with a single leg to get top position again. Neer isn't going to be able to win a decision off his back so he is going to need a submission. He almost locks a triangle but Kurt throws a punch again. Neer wants it stood up but Kurt is staying just busy enough. Triangle attempt by Neer again and Pellegrino uses it to pass to side control. Quick pass to mount by Pellegrino and now he takes Josh's back. The Round ends with Pellegrino on his back and Neer's nose bleeding. 10-9 Pellegrino. Round 3 - Pellegrino working body kicks early. Kurt catches a kick from Neer and gets a quick takedown. Neer is stuck on the bottom being forced to try to catch submissions but Pellegrino is sweaty. Neer with an elbow from the bottom that cuts Kurt. Full mount by Pellegrino and Neer reverses to end up on top. Kurt stands up and Neer is landing big elbows. 10-9 Neer. but Kurt wins 29-28. Official Scorecards: 30-27 across the board for Kurt Pellegrino.
Kendall Grove vs. Ricardo Almeida - Round 1 - Almeida right away going for the takedown and Grove is working knees to the body as he defends. Kendall is using really good takedown defense here. Grove is able to get distance again finally and that has to be considered a victory. Big right hand by Almeida as he closes distance. Kick lands for Kendall and Almeida closes in again. Grove attempts a choke but Almeida defends but still can't get the takedown. Finally with about 1:50 left in the round Ricardo is able to get the takedown. Ricardo trying to pass and ends up taking Grove's back. Kendall is able to stand up and land a knee before Almeida gets a big slam to go back to the round. The round ends and it was 10-9 Almeida. Round 2 -Almeida with a takedown and almost gets caught in a guillotine. Now Grove with a REALLY DEEP ARMBAR! He's going to finish the BJJ superstar..no! Almeida escapes and almost gets caught in a leg lock but now is safely on top. Pass to half guard by Almeida and Grove tries to grab a knee bar as he eats some shots. Almeida is landing some big shots now and Grove manages to stand up. Big uppercut by Kendall and now a knee to the head. 10-9 Almeida again. Round 3 -Takedown by Ricardo and Kendall wall walks to get back to standing. Left hook by Kendall and Almeida is gassed badly. He tries to pull guard and eats elbows from Grove before Kendall makes him stand back up. Grove knees him in the face. Almeida with a takedown with 2:17 left. Almeida just wants to ride this out. One minute left now. They're standing and Grove is trying to finish but can't do it before time runs out. 10-9 Grove and I have the fight at 29-28 Almeida. Official Scorecards: 30-27 Almeida across the board. That's one of the closer 30-27 fights you'll ever see.
Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks - Round 1 - Amir Hendircks with a big flurry and Amir drops and isn't protecting himself. It's over in 30 seconds. Rogan is saying it was an early stoppage. Amir went down and was trying to get up but was eating shots. Johny Hendricks wins by TKO (punches), round 1.
Shane Nelson vs. Aaron Riley - Undercard action Round 1 - Riley with a nice left to start the fight. Riley is coming forward throwing shots with bad intentions. Left hand lands for Nelson now. This fight has been a lot of grinding type striking by Riley to this point. Poor shot by Nelson is defended. The round ends and it was 10-9 Riley on my card. Round 2 - Riley pushing Nelson against the fence and throwing some small shots. This fight is really not my cup of tea. Kick lands to Nelson's face and he was rocked. Riley with the takedown and Nelson is gassed. Riley working hammerfists and elbows but the fight is stood up. The round ends and it was 10-9 again for Riley. Round 3 - Riley avoids a takedown easily early. Nelson tries to flurry but doesn't land anything. Riley on top on the ground and there was a fight in the crowd that got the crowd going. It's just a lot of Riley on top grinding away. 10-9 agian for Riley for what should be 30-27. Official scorecards: 30-27 for Aaron Riley.
Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin - So stoked for this. Round 1 -High kick missed by Forrest early. Leg kick is caught by Anderson and they both miss punches off of it. Not a lot to say. They were circling and now Anderson charges in and drops Forrest with a right hand. Forrest is back up and they're trading shots. Silva is showboating and then unloads, dropping Forrest again. Silva lands some shots and Forrest survives. They stand up and Silva knocks him out with a straight. Jesus, that was absolute domination. Holy crap. That should shut EVERYONE up. Forrest runs backstage...which looks pretty awful. He was "knocked out" but immediately stood up and ran backstage. Forrest quit, he wasn't knocked out...he quit after realizing he couldn't win. A knocked out fighter can't stand up 10 seconds later and sprint to the back.
BJ Penn vs. Kenny Florian for the UFC Lightweight Championship - Round 1 - Florian with a high kick that is blocked. Right hand by Penn looks like it bothered Florian a little. They clinch against the fence and BJ lands a nice elbow. They clinch up again and Penn works some dirty boxing. High kick misses for Kenny again. Penn is coming forward landing shots again. More clinch work by Penn and they separate again. Florian with the clinch this time and he is trying for a takedown, which doesn't happen. Penn ducks a punch by Florian and lands a sharp right hand that hurts Kenny, followed by a knee. The round ends and it was a clear 10-9 round for Penn. Round 2 - Nice leg kick by Florian. Right hand out of the clinch by Penn and it was solid. Kenny keeps working for takedowns and has yet to be able to finish. Penn lands a punch to the back of the head and gets a warning but honestly it is a legal punch in this situation as Florian jumped in and it was the only place for Penn's punch (that was already being thrown) to land. Penn with a nice flurry of heavy punches that land. 10-9 round for Penn again. Round 3 - High kick missed by Florian. Florian going for takedowns again and eating small strikes while doing so. Penn with a flurry of shots that land in response to a single shot that landed for Florian. Penn with some good knees to the body and punches to the head. Penn is landing in flurries and it's clearly winning rounds vs Kenny's strategy of trying to wear BJ out with grappling against the cage. Round 4-Penn catches Kenny early again. Big takedown by Penn and he is landing elbows to Florian's head. Penn is just grinding away and landing shots from half guard. Penn gets to full mount and Kenny is just covering up as he eats shots. He takes the back but goes back to mount. Now Kenny gives up the back again. Choke is sunk in and Kenny is forced to tap out. I didn't have Penn losing a second of that fight. BJ Penn wins by submission (rear naked choke), round 4.

LOL..
Fights in about 10 hours.. Technically.. 9 & a half now.. :)
Main events would be closer to 11 hours from now..

I’m on the phone with everyone I know hyping it up like it’s my fight or something…
It’s gonna be sick tonight.. party time !!!!!!
Now that it was brought up in the comments I can’t NOT see the phoenix in Forrest’s chest hair.
Also, it looks like the ring girl is ok with it too.

I think 101 has more interesting/competitive matches than 100 or 102. I think this could be early pick for card of the year.

Safest bet of the night. Hendricks was a D1 champ from OK and Amir came in 3.5 under.
by HonorableJudgeIto on Aug 8, 2009 1:35 PM EDT up reply actions
Amir wasn’t that impressive on the show, and his lone win was a submission on CB Dollaway, and we all know how great CB is at defending submissions.
Really? Not impressive? The guy stayed calm when it looked like he was in trouble, always looking for a way to win, and finished every single fight. He was VERY impressive. You cannot teach that calmness during a fight.

Just ordered the PPV
Now I’m rewatching the Countdown. Hype levels are rising! BJ looks damn impressive in training.
All I have to say to Florini is
GSP: I pulled my groin.
Greg Jackson: I don't care Georges! HIT HIM WITH YOUR GROIN!
For the sake of everyone’s entertainment…You should all read THIS ARTICLE while you wait for the PPV (and make sure you read the comments for my responses)

I hate that guy. He’s just mad and can’t handle the truth.
It’s about time boxing stood up for itself and stopped letting the UFC grab the headlines with their garbage
Umm, what? ACTUALLY…it’s time MMA stood up and opened the whole worlds eyes and let it be known that MMA is the best Combat Sport In The World!!! It’s time they realized that there is more science in MMA than their own “sweet science”. It’s time Boxing elitist stop calling MMA a fad , street fighting, takes no skill and stop saying it’s not a real sport. It’s time they realized that Boxing is one dimensional and fans are starting to apreciate MMA more because it is IN FACT more entertaining. It’s time Mr Magno realised that the current from of MMA is very young, of fucking course it doesn’t have the history that boxing does yet. It’s time for Boxing to swallow their pride and fix their sport because it IS in fact dying down. End rant.

When the UFC can put out six to 10 live television shows with undercards per month, they can talk the talk. Until then, they are a small-time business that is very good at reaching their target demographic, very good at selling their shows to them, and very good at making it seem like they are some giant force taking over the world.
But not “clearly dominant in the combat sports world.”
This genius says boxing puts on more events than the UFC which is why the UFC is small time. Does he not understand that Boxing is a sport with many different promotions and he’s aggregating all of them while picking out one (albeit the biggest) MMA promotion to compare against all of boxing?
If there were no way to see live boxing other than through a monthly PPV, boxing would produce more than a million buys per show, even on an off month like August and with the card I mentioned in my original article.
Ummmmm, most boxing on free TV is between guys that will never draw or between one guy who will draw who is building his bloated record by beating up clearly inferior contenders. If you want to see any kind of desirable boxing match between title contenders you have to pay for it either through pay channels (e.g. Showtime and HBO) or PPV.
What a freaking goon.
"Japan is half-Machida" - iiowyn
uh ohh. the guy got owned right there.. hahaha.
but the thing is… i don’t even get why he is mad at you to begin with. hahahahhaa…
it’s 330am now, so I’ll be sleeping in a while, then i’ll be up right before the PPV sucks.. (the time difference sucks balls).. would it be okay if you mention it here if he replied? cause i’d love to see how he’d refute that..
it’s been 6 hours.. i bet a couple more would be enough time for him right?

Muwahahaha. His responses in your original article were pretty hilarious as well.
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
Too bad Brent Brookhouse didn’t have the same courage that you are so proudly displaying here…It seems that Mr. Brookhouse is one of those MMA-loving tough guys who likes taking public shots at people, but only if they think that there’s no way they can ever answer back…Well, let it be known that I made the attempt to engage and Brookhouse didn’t feel equipped for the debate…
Typical…

You didn’t do shit other than write inflammatory pieces trying to get people to look at you. Brent’s email is on the front page, takes about 2 seconds to see it. Every single thing you have said about him is you projecting your own motivations and weaknesses on someone else.

Brent, where you completely drop the ball is in the fact that you fail to recognize the difference between marketing and reality, still chanting the UFC mantra that boxing is an ailing sport, despite numbers which do not show that at all.
Lol. The entire point of the article was that boxing wasn’t dead and the UFC wasn’t killing it. Were is he getting this stuff from?
Dorothy is easily and far away the worst writer there. She typically writes pro-GSP "articles" that basically fawn over him, or the most blindly biased anti-Zuffa articles I’ve ever seen. This article is no different.

"And Joe for Matt Hughes, dislike may not be a strong enough adjective!" - Mike Goldberg
What?
“..Boxing fans have 6-10 live monthly shows on TV for them to get their fix…UFC fans do not”
Because the boxing pool is 1000 times larger than the UFC pool you fricking idiot. Besides, name me the last time boxing has aired a replay of an entire PPV card on TV? Or if boxing has a “Unleashed” type of show?
Those are some of the worst arguments I’ve ever seen.
"And Joe for Matt Hughes, dislike may not be a strong enough adjective!" - Mike Goldberg
Not to defend boxing but...
But they do show the replays of the major PPV’s on either HBO or Showtime..
But if anyone believes that boxing has not been affected by MMA is delusional..
the UFC is now the lone PPV king.. They out do boxing, WWE, & Playboy (had to throw that in there) lol
There is a difference
The replays are on Spike, the other replays are of one fight (the main event) on HBO or Showtime.

Did MMA run over this guy's kid?
Again, you’re comparing boxing, which operates on a worldwide level with various legal and promotional elements to deal with, to the UFC which, quite literally is a couple of guys in a back room sorting out what to do with a couple dozen or so fighters…The entire talent roster of the UFC is about as deep as approximately a third of the ranked Welterweights in the world of boxing...we’re talking grandma’s garage sale vs. the local Walmart.
ARE YOU HIGH? The UFC has 4/5th of the Best 25 WW’s in the world in its organization. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize a promotion had to be bloated, corrupt, and ineffective to be successful. Oh wait, that’s Boxing. If you want to be so global, I hear M-1 is looking for more people to mooch off of.
Here’s a goodbye gif

Well, here’s what I’m hoping for tonight :
Kenny by massive upset (T)KO or submission
Anderson by all around ass-kickery
Sadollah by cool under pressure
Almeida by anything that helps Kendall make his decision to just leave the UFC already
Pellegrino by grindage
And for the undercard :

But did anyone watch the rebroadcast of UFC 95 on Wednesday? They aired the Paul Kelly fight this time around but never did it for the initial broadcast back in February.

Well pardon my impassioned response
I am drunk and ready for Florian to meet some competition he is not used to – bye bye Kenny!

I thought it was very well stated

Forest looks like he took a body shot that did some damage by the way he was acting when he fell…. Did I miss a body shot earlier in the fight?
Silva was too fast for the camera’s framerate.

If I was Forrest, I would have left the building too.
someone call the cops…he might jump off a building. To get dropped by that little purse-slap has got to be humiliating.

Forrest looked really awful. Not only did he look very slow and tentative, but he fought the ideal fight for Silva’s style. Basically walking into strikes.
I’m sort of flummoxed at the idea that gameplan wasn’t to take it to the ground. Forrest was clearly never going to win striking at range, and top position on the ground was the best place for him to assert his size advantage. I realize that’s not what the fight was booked for, but c’mon!
He looked slow after he ate the first punch.
And then just embarassing after that.

I thought Florian for the last 6 months and have had my doubts the last two weeks
I’m related to the biggest Florian fan ever and he will go ape shit if beats BJ.
So Anderson just completely dominated a top 5 LHW
Where do you think he’ll be next time the LHW meta-rankings come out?
You mean they *haven’t looked good tonight.
I’m hoping to see a new lightweight champion crowned tonight.
Yeah...

Good luck with the new lightweight champ thing.

Below average WW and probably an average LW. What is it he does well? Smile to the camera?
