They're feinting early, Curran grabs a leg off a kick, Mizugaki stays standing. Up against the fence, Curran working for the high crotch, Mizugaki maintaining an underhook.

Mizugaki back to the top to end the fight. Definitely 10-9 for Jeff Curran, so Bloody Elbow scores the fight 29-28 for Jeff Curran. We'll see if the judges disagree again. Split Decision goes to Takeya Mizugaki. Definitive proof that American judges will never give the win to the man fighting from his back.
WEC and Versus officials have got to be praying for a couple of quick fights after a succession of lengthy decisions.
They're teasing the WEC 43 Lightweight interim title fight between Donald Cerrone vs. Benson Henderson. Youngstown, Ohio is a good choice for a WEC card, folks in that part of the country are definitely looking for affordable distractions.

Nothing connecting. High kick misses then a leg kick connects for Lamas, another. High kick connects for Lamas. More leg kicks for Lamas. They clinch, Lamas forces Castillo back against the fence.

Round 2 Benavidez comes out aggressive.Cruz answers with a stinging combo. Benavidez goes for a guillotine. Cruz escapes. This is a classic bout and I'm sitting here slack jawed and not able to capture all the punches and scrambles. Cruz gets a take down but can't keep Benavidez down. Benavidez with a hook/spinning backpunch combo into a single leg but eats a hook from Cruz. Cruz chasing Benavidez with a combo. Tags Benavidez. Cruz chasing a bit, Benavidez firing back with hooks, another spinning back strike from Joseph. Dominick gets a lovely double leg off a punching combo into Benavidez' guard.

Benavidez coming in aggressively, drops off a leg kick as he was going for a high kick. Cruz with a knee tap take down off an underhook. Benavidez fights back to his feet again! Benavidez slips. Cruz chasing, not connecting. They're getting a little sloppy late. Another take down for Cruz off a Benavidez spinning strike. But Joseph is back up instantly. Cruz gets another take down, manages to stay on top. Gets Benavidez' back. Ends the fight in dominant position. BloodyElbow scores it 10-9 and 30-27 for Dominick Cruz. We'll see if my judges curse jinxes Cruz. Dominick Cruz takes the unanimous decision.
Now we get to the headliner.
Miguel Torres vs. Brian Bowles Here we go. Nice Johnny Cash entrance music from Brian Bowles. Mariachi in full effect for Torres. Epic cultural clash. Frank Mir declares Miguel Torres the P4P "Best American MMA Fighter", hard to argue, wonder what B.J. Penn has to say about that. Round 1 They come out and feel each other out. No rush in a title fight. Bowles tags Torres with a right and stuns the champ. Torres moves forward, eats another. Now Bowles clinches and takes down Torres. Might be a mistake. Torres scores with three upkicks. Bowles keeps coming and is landing from the top. The crowd chants Torres. Bowles goes back to his feet. Torres scores with a combination and hurts Bowles! But Bowles fires back and drops the champ and then goes in for the kill and finishes Miguel Torres on the ground! Brian Bowles by TKO in the First Round.

Ya know, I don’t know what people want. Zuffa seems to like the rough Mir/Rogan style say what I think guy paired with some glad handing asshole who somehow barely manages to know what sport he is commentating on and is perpetually spouting cliches in a radio announcer voice.
Of the two, I will always pick the Mir/Rogan, even if he doesn’t always live up to the ideal of journalistic objectivity. And if the UFC hires Michael Shiavello, I f’ing quit the sport.
You know what is really nice? Only one Fedor article on the front page.

Like Riley vs. Nelson last night, they ran out of time for it on the prelims due to a plethora of decisions. I’m really stoked to see this one though!

Not really… I mean, an argument could be made that Garcia took the first.
He definitely took the 3rd.

He definitely took the 3rd, I just don’t know about the 1st.
Massouh certainly had his chances to finish the fight though.

No one to blame but himself.
I just texted my friend that it could have gone either way, doesn’t upset me though.
Really, Massouh earned almost as much in this loss and he would have winning the fight.

What the hell did I just see?!
AMAZING recovery in round 1, great sub in round 2… and then he just didn’t care to fight in round 3?
I doubt he thought he was ahead on the cards. The first round was too close, and every fighter knows not to leave close decisions to the judges.
Exhausted I can see, that choke probably burned out his arms. I guess I just expected one or two bursts of action to at least try to take the round.
Good fight either way
NOT a robbery.

Debatable. He didn't really 'win' 2 rounds
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
Neither did Garcia.
A lot of the stuff he was throwing in the third was getting blocked. Too close to be a robbery though.
At least he was throwing, i guess?
It’s really close, if I had to choose I’d say Garcia, but thats NOT a robbery
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
I certainly don’t agree with it, but I can’t say it was a robbery. The 3rd round was up for grabs, but no one went for it.

"He was choking the piss out of me"
I like that much better than when guys says shit like “Oh it wasn’t deep…I wasn’t in any trouble”
I disagree
with them. I think a sub attempt should be scored the same as a combo all the way to a knock down, depending on how close he is to finishing.
That's how I look at it

I odn't mind him sharing wisdom, its his clear fighter bias that bothers me.
But he is better than 95% of them out there.
You saying he's better than 95% of heavyweights?
I would have to disagree on that, beating Sylvia, Sims, Abbot, and a not 100% Noguiera doesn’t quite put him that high to me, losing to Freeman, Cruz and Vera (although recovering from bike accident) might put him in a top ten-ish spot, The Kongo fight should be good.

Rematch?
Instantly, or does Torres need a fight beforehand?
I had him top 5 maybe even top 3 before tonight.
Guess that proved I am an MMA noob.
Not really a noob.
You just fell for the hype like lots of people did.
I thought he was never above GSP, Silva, Fedor, Machida or Penn.
Lots of people dropped Penn out of there after his loss to GSP.
i thought that was ridiculous.
The Torres hype was out of control in a way.
It’s not like he beat a who’s who in the FW division.
But then again…who’s great in the FW division?
That’s actually my ignorance, since I don’t pay much attention to the FW division except for Miguel Torres anyways. He’s the most hyped.
It’s still a growing division with fighters still needing to be sorted out in the hierarchy.
Talks of Miguel P4P top 3 or 5 have been premature.

Why do you feel he was top 5 P4P?

Twitter: @Mike_Fagan_13

I saw all those fights.
And was not convinced of Torres being above Penn, Machida, GSP, Fedor or Silva
If anything, Mike Brown should be higher than Torres.
You are arguing
P4P AFTER he lost? Look I already admitted I had him top 5 maybe 3. Show me your P4P from 6 months ago so I can laugh at it.
GSP lost to Serra, Torres hadn’t lost in years. See what I did there. Same with Penn. Fedor fights cans.
For you to make points about my P4P AFTER he loses is funny. Where were you for the last year disputing him top 5 with me?
Correction...I meant Bantamweight, not FW
Corrected myself before someone corrects me, there.
Yeah, I was agreeing.
If anything, the stoppage could be considered late.

That wasn’t just a lucky punch either, Bowles was finding his range throughout the round, and clearly he has a fire hydrant chin to take shots, get Torres in close, and last the granite on him.
Holy shit
Not an early stoppage at all. Torres gets impatient and when he gets impatient he gets sloppy. Well done Bowles.
If anything, Bowles got an extra shot or two in.

He just lost got KTFO why should he get a #1 contender shot now? That’d be like Forrest fight for #1 contender now.
GSP was not exactly out of title contention for long.
It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
Go back and watch the fights again! Beating Kos made him the #1 contender. Serra got injured and defend against Hughes, so Hughes found GSP for an interim title.

It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
What I am getting at is that if Serra had fought Hughes like he was supposed to, GSP was to have gotten a title shot.
It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
What was supposed to happen: GSP beats Kos, Serra fights Hughes, GSP beats winner for WW title
What happened: GSP beat Kos, Serra gets hurts, GSP wins title from Hughes
Sounds like he got a title either way!
Twitter: @Mike_Fagan_13
http://www.sackmikegoldberg.com
I don’t think I’ve managed to set it out clearly enough. GSP lost to Serra. Serra’s next fight was against Hughes. GSP’s next fight was against Kos. GSP won and would have fought the winner of Hughes/Serra, thus earning a #1 contenders fight immediately after getting knocked out.

Very observant
I missed that shake of the head by torres when watching live, but you’re right. You can see Toerres shaking his head “no” looking over at Bowles just before the start. There was no touch once the fight started so the most obvious reason for Miguel shaking “no” was a signal that he didn;t want to touch.
My dad apparently did
He was watching with me and called the fight….
I’ll beat him at predictions some day.

watching the replay of the mizugaki fight, right before the live show, and then seeing him side by side with bowles, he seemed smaller than both guys. i’m sure at that size, another ten pounds (to get to 125) might be tough, but i wonder if he could do it.
Man where would the 10 pounds come from? He’s pretty scarecrow like and freakishly tall for bantamweight.
pretty sure

YUS called it!!!
a few hrs late b/c i was watching the yankee/sawx game(nothing comes b4 my bronx bombers)
so i caught the 12am replay
idk why i called it 4 brian,but idk he just had a demeanor bout him in all the prefight stuff that showed me he wouldnt b frazzled(n hey being undefeated and having hands of stone doesn’t hurt)
but damn i didn’t expect a 1st rnd KTFO!!!
it seems 2 me that torres was a lil too overly aggressive and wasn’t respecting bowles’ power or ability as an opponent and just tht he had the kill.
and instead he got hit w/ a hook all the way from Athens,Georgia.
tho it seems that the second punch while torres was on the ground was the 1 that did it
you have to post it
before the actual fight takes place. But gratz to you.
