Mark Bocek def. Dustin Hazelett via submission (triangle choke) - R1
Dan Miller vs. Joe Doerksen
Round 1: Miller goes to the body early, but Doerksen connects with some wild haymakers. Miller complete a takedown, now working to pass. Doerksen working his butterfly guard, but Miller passes to half. Doerksen grabs a foot and tries to sweep, Miller maintains his base and tries for a guillotine in the scramble but Doerksen defends and ends up back on the bottom. Miller throws some elbows in Doerksen's full guard. Doerksen goes high with his legs but there's nothing there, as Miller lands some more elbows. More of the same mostly as Miller works some short punches and elbows and Doerksen occasionally throws his legs up, but there's no submission to be had. 10-9 Miller. Round 2: Leg kick by Doerksen to open the round. Miller charges into another takedown but Doerksen with a nice sweep ends up on top. A reverse of the first round now as Miller works his guard high, thinking about a triangle, but Doerksen defends. Miller scrambles to his feet and takes Doerksen down immediately. Doerksen grabs a kimura trying to sweep, but Miller defends a few tense moments and then muscles out of it. Hammer-fists from Miller and he passes to half-mount, but Doerksen regains guard and protects his head as the secound round ends once again with Miller in Doerksen's guard. Doerksen came close with the kimura, but it's still 10-9 Miller again. Round 3: Miller takes Doerksen down on a kick attempt and immediately has to fend off a triangle, but settles into guard. Doerksen bleeding pretty steadily from his nose and he gets his feet on Miller's hips to defend the pass. Miller muscles Doerksen against the cage and drops some elbows but Doerksen spins back towards the center. Miller passes to half again and starts to drop some stiff short elbows and punches on Doerksen's already-bloodied face. Doerksen pushes away from the cage but he can't get anything going from his back. Miller looks like he's bleeding as well and he has to defend a last-second triangle, but he drops some more hammer-fists to seal the deal. 10-9 Miller thanks to a conservative and effective gameplan. Dan Miller defeats Joe Doerksen by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28).
Brent Brookhouse taking back over.

Jim Miller vs. Charles Oliveira - Round 1 - Head kick by Oliveira misses and he throws it a few more times. Miller with a takedown now against the fence. He'd in half guard and Oliveira is looking for a guillotine and now looking to transition to a triangle when he can't secure it. Miller with a hard elbow.

Hard jab again. Koscheck is really hurting and swollen and bloodied. Koscheck shoots and St. Pierre is defending. Koscheck dropping down for the double and GSP is finally on his back with 15 seconds left. Koscheck manages to land one punch before the round ends. 10-9 GSP clearly.
Round 2 - Koscheck's right eye is badly damaged as he comes out of his corner. Superman punch by GSP. Back to the jabs. All Koscheck is doing is looking to unload the overhand right. Big jab again. Hard leg kick now by Georges. Hard leg kick again. Right hand by GSP now. Superman jab again by Georges. Body kick by GSP and a big right hand. Another right hand lands hard. Koscheck is way out of his league here, it's not even fair. GSP firing combos and Koscheck finally lands with a hard uppercut. Leg kick and a few more jabs by GSP who actually looks like the fact that he ate the uppercut and was fine may have motivated him. 10-9 GSP again. Not even close.

Koscheck continues to get hit by punches and now he misses a head kick. Koscheck shoots and ends up stumbling forward as GSP already moved. 10-9 round for GSP again.
Round 4 - The doctor wants to look at Koscheck's badly swollen eye so Joe Rogan freaks out about how they better not stop it. Even though that's why we have doctors ringside, so that if a fighter can't see or is injured their safety is looked out for. GSP with a flurry of kicks and punches. And a takedown now. He looks for Koscheck's back, Kos goes for a leg and GSP ends up on top but they're back to standing. Koscheck keeps winging the overhand and now gets countered by a left hand. Another big left hook by GSP and he follows it with another leg kick. Double jab and they both land to the face of Koscheck. More jabs. Two more jabs and a right hand. Left hook again. Koscheck's mouth is held weird, he may have a broken jaw. Head kick is missed. 10-9 GSP. Any of these could be 10-8 if you wanted. It doesn't matter. GSP is crushing him.
Round 5 - GSP just keeps jabbing away and Koscheck is unable to do anything here. Hard leg kick by GSP and a huge left hook. Koscheck is at least proving that he's tough. Stiff jab again. The Fight Metric report of this fight is going to be something else. GSP with a right hand and Koscheck with an overhand right that misses badly. GSP with a brief takedown and Koscheck bounces back up. The eye is bleeding badly now too. Worst spinning heel kick in the history of history by Koscheck and he gets smacked with a jab. Two more hard punches and the fight is over. The two men hug and exchange words. Anything less than GSP 50-45 is criminal.
Official Scorecards: 50-45 across the board. Georges St. Pierre remains the UFC welterweight champion with a unanimous decision victory.

Anybody else out there think this fight won’t be as competitive as we’re being led to believe? All the buzz before this fight reminds me of the buzz before the BJ Penn, Diego Sanchez fight, and we all saw how competitive that was.
In the end, all your friends and family let you down and you die in your own arms, so who cares?
This reminds me of GSP/Hardy. I knew Hardy had no shot. Then the hype train hit and I almost believed he did have a shot. Then he got mugged for five rounds. That’s what I think will happen again, though GSP may finish this time.
Koscheck is a much better fighter than Dan Hardy

St-Pierre via something brutal
Like not letting go of a submission or he keeps on pounding away at Kos.
What are the odds of Struve getting dropped at least once tonight?
IIRC, he’s been dropped/knocked out at least once or twice in each of his UFC fights so far…
Does that trend continue tonight? Or has he finally learned to cover his chin just alil bit?
Hmm….Gonna be a good night. :)
I've got a St.Pierre-J.Miller-McCorkle parlay based on partially on that theory

I see GSP doing to Josh what he did to Serra the 2nd time around — humiliation. Its going to be a blowout and the headlines will read, “There is no one at WW worth challenging GSP”
I also see some hilarious pictures of a bloodied, beaten Koscheck coming.
Half the year in Canada, Half the year in Thailand.
That kinda sucks, but ever since we got a laptop with HDMI, I don't really care.

st. pierre via 'the fitch'
the only satisfying outcome, however, would be if kos accidentally kicked GSP in the balls so hard in the first, that they have to call the fight off.
then you see kos running away from an angry canadian mob.

it has nothing to do with this event

i compete at 155 and i wear 2x gloves. and i never thought i have big hands but lately everyones telling me that my hands are huge.

i wanna see overeem vs saki one-match

saki looked like he was lighting him up
but the reem def knew something we didnt, saki never had him in trouble and it kinda just looked like alistair was riding out the storm before finishing him off
an alistair-schilt one match is the one i still wanna see though
"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
reem - schilt will be huge
thats what i predicted for the final
also spong looked good too. he just got overpowered by reem
i hope k-1 makes a lighter weight class so spong can fight at his best
Nothing but RESPECT for Matt "The Terror" Serra
http://gotmma.org/ - Korean MMA blog
Yeah, that would be nice. Spong looked really good, keeping Reem away with those front kicks, etc. He definitely got overpowered. I was sad to see Schilt not make it through, but whatever. Chances are he would have been tired for the finale. Maybe next time.
I was really hoping to see Semi vs. Reemi — both fresh. Saki was lighting Reem up like a Christmas tree until his guts blew up.
Half the year in Canada, Half the year in Thailand.
Saki and Aerts showed tremendous tenacity last night.
I really enjoyed watching them compete.

Factoid: If GSP wins tonight, he’ll tie Matt Hughes’s record for most consecutive UFC welterweight title defenses. He’s currently tied at four with Pat Miletich.
That would also place him in a three-way-tie for second most consecutive UFC title defenses at any weight class, with Hughes and Tito Ortiz. First place belongs, of course, to Anderson Silva, with seven.
Here's the bigger version of the poster:
(kinda bummed that it looks like crap when it is smaller… maybe I should’ve gone with a different concept?)
I wouldn’t say anything is wrong with the concept. Maybe just that the last few have been really good. Get it Bocek.

Fuck. Dustin knows he’s done.
Hate that part of the fight game. Poor McLovin. He’s young, let him get his legs under him somewhere else at 155 and he’ll be back.
yea its tough
he’d be sick in dream though, i think he’d do better in the ring
"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
As I said, Hazelett's jiu jitsu looks great against guys with no ground game.
Against a good grappler, he’s got nothing. Great finish by Bocek.
I’ve been preaching it for a long time. He’s all flash and not good enough on the ground to handle guys like Bocek who are really good BJJ guys

Quick stat.
Doerskon is 2-6 on the UFC. Arguably the worst record in company history that I can think of. Petruzelli and Tiki are also tied at 0-4, but they didn’t get 8 tries.

10-10 round there
"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
this is actually the definition of lay and pray
by miller here, but no one is calling it out because no one really likes doerkson
It wasn't the most exciting fight,
but it wasn’t lay and pray at all. Miller was actively working to pass and dropping some decent short elbows and hammer-fists. Doerksen has an excellent defensive guard so he contributed to the stalemate.
Miller spent all his time on top laying in guard, concentrating on not getting swept… not offense
Thanks for your contribution
Miller also threw punches,
short elbows, and hammer-fists. He also attempted several passes. That = offense.
And if you add another little smart-ass remark about my “contributions”, you’ll be looking for another site to contribute to.

On GSP's cut/hydration:
For what it’s worth, I just watched a countdown special on Roger’s Sportsnet that featured a look at GSP’s pre-fight rituals from last night. It was filmed only a few hours after the weigh-ins.
He looked fine, and was in very good spirits, so the reports of problems rehydrating seem to be exaggerated.

Tito Ortiz is the only one with more, coming in at 8 losses, all of which against champions or future champions aside from Hammill. Baroni has six so far. Couture has seven, but most of those came at the title level and he also has double digit wins.
Anybody else come to mind?

how about something more general? “effective striking”
Maybe something that’s true. When you’re talking about a guy who has 14 of his 20 career wins by submission (mostly chokes), Muay Thai doesn’t really come to mind. And he looks awkward on his feet to boot.

Is it me
or is guard-passing sort of out-dated? I mean, there are guys now who are so strong they can dominate fighters in full guard with elbows and hammer fists
Vote Quimby
Not necessarily
GNP seems to be working better from guard nowadays.
When guys are strong and have good escapes from the bottom, halfguard, side mount, and full mount often have the guy on bottom escape.
yes, and it’s easier to sweep while someone is trying to pass than when they are sitting in guard pounding you.
Slowly progressing from guard to half to side to mount doesn’t really make sense unless you are bjj ace and know you can get all the way to mount/the submission you are looking for without getting swept.
If you are a wrestler/striker who happens to be on top, you are much better off pounding away until the round ends or you end it.
Bingo.

Neither is ideal. Alves probably should have been matched against someone a little higher, but you need to factor in his weight issues. This fight was as much a test to see whether he could still make it in WW as much as it was a bounce back fight. Considering that, it was acceptable match making.
"Who are you and how the hell did you get in here?"

I disagree. Perhaps strictly in terms of striking skill it was a mismatch, but there’s not a whole lot you can do about that. You can’t expect a guy coming off of two losses to be in a particularly relevant fight. Add the weight class issues as well, and i don’t see the two fights as comparable.

Daley's TERRIBLE on the ground
If Masvidal could take him down Howard could easily.

Howard isn’t that good. He would have no chance on the feet, and would have to take him down, on the ground yeah, daley isn’t too impressive, but he could stuff that takedown, he stuffed some of Kos, he is no Kongo. So no, that clown comment was a real exaggeration.
They see me rollin...
I know he's not that good
Daley’s just that bad at staying on his feet.
Anyway you slice it, if you seen the fight with Jorge, you know Daley can be taken down by anyone. He lost that fight in a lot of people’s opinions.

That was a robbery
Masvidal is a LW striker and he took Daley down over and over.

He knew Stevenson was prone to jumping in with winging punches. The whole time he was moving away from the power and when Joe jumped in he was popping him with little counters. Then he connected perfectly with a left hook counter and that KO’ed him.

"I'll rock your body with big nasty hooks!"
he was doing pretty good in this fight too, unfortunately he didn’t know how to defend that lock, ‘cause he didn’t even try. but that’s experience under the belt, I think he’ll come back stronger next time.

OR he's just not that good yet
and didn’t know/couldn’t do better. And his entire game so far has been based on throwing whatever he could whenever he wanted against bad competition, and Miller was a totally different level.

There’s a difference. If every fighter fought like GSP against Hardy they’d be showing tremendous skill, but no one is buying a card knowing they’re getting that 5 times.

which battered Pierson’s face and body.

… and it’ll probably be hailed as FOTN.
Pierson landed way, way more strikes in the second
Under two minutes of damageless ground control may or may not be worth more than that, depending on how the judges weigh it.

By the way, Kill’em All, Puppets, and Lightning are the Holy Trinity of Metal albums. You might be able to name 1 album better than one of those, but no way you can name 3 metal albums by one group better than those three. No, this is not a subjective thing.

while he’s been experimenting with doing it all year to see if it could be a viable plan going forward. Fuck that noise. Give us good fight cards, not just a good headliner.
And yes, this is consistent with me defending UFC 119 (before the fact) as a strong card lacking a headliner on paper.

It was a great display of perfectionist technique from GSP
Unfortunately Koscheck couldn’t really do anything at all. I can see why someone wouldn’t want to watch this one-sided beatdown again.
I loved watching GSP-Fitch
And most MMA fans did too. It was FOTN and on some MMA site it was polled as a FOTY frontrunner.
Unfortunately, this fight didn’t have the same variety in the beatdown.
I'm watching it again tonight...
it was beautiful.

On the bright side, I think GSP finishes Shields
He isn’t quick enough to play defense and get out of the way of power shots like Koscheck did, and I don’t think he can take as much punishment as Fitch.
But yeah, there isn’t going to be any doubt who wins. I say Shields is +1000. There isn’t even a chance for GSP to get Serra’d, as GSP is too fast for BJJ to be a factor.
Awww.....everything is ok now. It's like all that talk was fake....

KOS WENT OUT LIKE G
he didn’t get laid on like a 2 dollar whore for 5 rounds. kos you tried hard and made a gsp fight entertaining something we have not seen in awhile.
You mean since the last time GSP fought a wrestler?
GSP was always going to keep this a predominantly standup fight. Yeah, Koscheck defended some takedowns, but a couple minutes of ground game wouldn’t have changed the look of this fight.
Who fought Fitch, Penn, or Alves in a more entertaining way? Don’t name opponents that got their ass kicked by these guys.
Why didn’t Kos try more takedowns when he could?
Both here and in the first fight, the one time each he got him down he kept him there.

That's what I saw
Georges couldn’t keep him down at all. Kos held GSP down till the end of the round.
"I'll rock your body with big nasty hooks!"
The moral victory for all Kos fans tonight, I bet it will be on his next tale of the tape.
They see me rollin...
You know that was all of 20 seconds, right?
That’s not much evidence that Kos can keep GSP down.
Besides, did you see how hard it was for Kos to even shoot? He’d miss by 3 feet because GSP is too fast and read Kos like a book.

I do think that Shields presents a bigger danger than Kos, Hardy, or Fitch
mostly because a) he’s fought at middleweight and is as big as him, and b) he has the ability to grab ahold of you and just stay all over you, grab a limb, and take it home. George hasn’t fought a BJJ guys his own size in a long long time.

This was a really fun card with some great fights, yet so many commentors and contributors to BE seed the comments section with complaint over compaint about small issues or the commentary or the fighters being overrated/washed up….
Just sad that so many people spend their time watching a fight discussing how horrible things are going. Maybe re-evaluate why you are watching it in the first place, there’s always other things on TV.
THREE MUSKATEERS BAR P4P BEST HALLOWEEN CANDY

Some thoughts from the event...
1) Alves had a perfect gameplan, Howards way to victory I thought was to force Alves to brawl but thiago kept his composure and stuck to it
2) Despite a series of unfortunate bouts Mac danzig proved his real skillset against Joe. Joe needs to work on imposing his gameplan more effectively, his difficulty covering distance makes me think he might be more effective at 45’s
3) Jim Miller is SLICK and his opponent didn’t have enough respect for his ground game
4) Kos’ wrestling was a hair below GSP’s in effectiveness, Hardy isn’t ready for him I’d like to see Lytle/Condit winner or a rematch with Alves (with a proper training camp he will be able to get some TD’s i think)
