UFC 112: Invincible - Live Results and Commentary

102

As with every major show, BloodyElbow.com will be here to bring you live results and commentary for UFC 112: Invincible.  The live blog will start with the beginning of the FIRST PPV broadcast (at 1PM 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.

Note: Bloody Elbow will have live results and post-fight recaps on the front page as they happen. If you plan on waiting for the 10:00pm broadcast to watch the event, I suggest you stay away from all MMA sites to avoid spoilers.

The PPV Broadcast is live.  First fight up shortly.

Kendall Grove vs. Mark Munoz - Round 1 - Grove using his length early, throwing jabs and a nice knee to the body.  Munoz shoots and gets the takedown.  Grove escapes to his feet but eats a big right hand in the process.  Perfectly timed uppercut by Grove drops Munoz.  Munoz tries to shoot for a single.  Grove now landing big hammerfists, a few of which were to the back of the head.  Munoz still trying to push for the takedown but still can't get it.  They're separated now even though both were working very hard.  Munoz shooting very slowly now.  Grove goes for a choke but Munoz slips out.  Now Munos lands some big punches.  Munoz shoots and gets caught in a guillotine.  They roll and Grove tries to finish the choke from the mount but can't.  The round ends with Grove almost finishing another guillotine.  10-9 round from Grove.  Round 2- Grove times the uppercut well again and now a knee and he has Munoz's back as they go to the ground.  Grove switches from a choke to an armbar and Munoz pulls his arm out.  Now Munoz on top working ground and pound.  A lot of body work from Munoz now.  Now Munoz dives into the top and is landing big ground and pound.  The referee steps in and stops the fight.  Mark Munoz wins by TKO (punches), round 2.

Terry Etim vs. Rafael Dos Anjos - Round 1 - Leg kick by Etim.  Dos Anjos with a flurry of punches that miss.  Dos Anjos shoots in and Etim pulls him into a guillotine choke.  Dos Anjos is trying to just survive and as soon as it loosened up he pulled his head out.  Etim looks for an armbar and Dos Anjos passes to side control. Dos Anjos throws knees to the body and is warned for elbowing (?) to the spine.  He throws another knee and the ref stands them up for knees to the spine.  That was poor reffing.  The communication failure was his fault and it didn't look like they were to the spine.  They go back to the ground and Dos Anjos looks for a heel hook and knee bar before the round ends.  10-9 round for Etim.  Round 2 - Inside leg kick by Dos Anjos early.  And one in return by Etim.  Left hand from Dos Anjos and a spinning back kick from Etim.  Now Etim lands a knee to the face from the clinch.  Dos Anjos catches a leg and goes to the ground in side control.  Dos Anjos tries to pass to mount but gets caught in half guard.  Pass to side control again.  Some punches from Dos Anjos now and a couple stiff elbows.  Pass to full mount now.  Nice hips allow Etim to get back to half guard.  Pass back to side control, now north-south.  Kimura attempt and now switches to an armbar and Terry Etim is forced to tap out.  Rafael Dos Anjos wins by submission (armbar), round 2.

A preliminary bout was shown in which Phil Davis defeated Alexander Gustafsson by first round anaconda choke.

Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie - Round 1- Hughes with a slow kick to the body that misses.  Leg kick by Hughes and Renzo charges forward.  Left hook by Gracie.  Huges does not look right at all.  Very slow and sluggish.  A few more punches land for Renzo and he locks up with Renzo against the cage.  Hughes with some knees to the thigh.  Renzo shoves Hughes off of him and they're back to exchanging at distance.  Leg kick by Hughes again.  Gracie tries to charge in and misses a few punches.  Really the only thing working for Matt here are the leg kicks.  Superman punch from Hughes misses.  Right hand lands for Hughes.  Front kick by Renzo.  The round ends and it was 10-9 Renzo.  Round 2 - A few more early leg kicks by Hughes.  Hughes lands an accidental low blow and they touch gloves and continue.  Renzo with a left hand.  Hughes gets double underhooks and Renzo keeps himself from getting taken down and they're back to standing.  Another leg kick by Hughes.  Hughes with some slow punches and another leg kick.  Body shot by Renzo and another leg kick by Hughes.  Straight right by Renzo lands.  Leg kick from Gracie lands.  Left hand, right hand from Hughes both land.  Another leg kick lands but now that it's starting to look like it's hurting Renzo he isn't using it as often.  There's another one.  Left hand by Renzo lands.  Renzo tries a shot and Matt grabs a guillotine but can't finish and the round ends.  10-9 Hughes and it's an even fight on my card.  Round 3 - Early leg kick from Hughes.  Renzo throwing punches that miss and now they each land a left hand and Hughes with a deep leg kick.  Right hand by Hughes lands and he backs away.  Why you would back away after landing a solid punch I don't know.  Matt pushes him against the cage and now lands a series of hard shots and rather than pounce he backs away.  Hughes comes back in and lands another punch and some more leg kicks.  Another kick/uppercut combo.  Now Hughes lands a kick that knocks Renzo down and he has Hughes help him stand up.  Hughes with another leg kick that drops Renzo.  Hughes makes him stand up again and lands some more leg kicks and uppercuts. Right hand puts Gracie down and he just lays on the ground as Hughes waits for him to stand up.  Another hard leg kick from Hughes.  Left hand from Matt and now he lands a flurry of punches and Gracie is down.  The fight is over.  Matt Hughes wins by TKO (punches), round 3.

B.J. Penn vs. Frankie Edgar - Round 1 - Edgar with a low kick and he looks like he wants to be very quick from the outside.  Left hand lands for Penn.  Leg kick by Edgar and he gets right back outside.  Another leg kick lands.  Left hand lands for Penn again and now a jab.  And another jab.  BJ is stalking and Frankie is looking to get in and out with his speed.  Leg kick lands for Edgar.  Uppercut by Penn.  Edgar went for a single leg and gave up quickly as Penn hit him several times.  Left hand caps off a combination from Penn.  B.J. is starting to see more punches landing.  Penn has a small cut under his left eye.  THe round ends and it was 10-9 Penn.  Round 2 - Edgar tries for a takedown after eating a few jabs but can't get it.  Left hand lands for Penn. Edgar keeps trying to move around but Penn is landing more meaningful punches.  Nice three punch combo from Edgar.  Edgar looks for the takedown and then throws a head kick.  BJ with a nice combination of punches that land.  As Edgar charges in with punches Penn steps back and lands a left hand cleanly.  Edgar grabs a leg and BJ hits the ground for roughly one second before bouncing up.  The round ends and I'd still score it 10-9 Penn.  Round 3 - Short right uppercut lands for Penn.  Edgar misses with a body kick.  Right hand, left hook combination for Penn lands hard.  BJ counters with the left hand.  Right hand by Edgar lands.  Nice combination by Edgar now.  Left hand by Edgar and he's got much better timing working this round.  Double jab for Edgar now.  Edgar shoots and backs away.  Left hand lands for Penn as Edgar is backing up.  Body kick by Edgar lands.  Left hook for Penn.  10-9 round for Edgar makes it 29-28 Penn.  Round 4- Penn working the jab early.  Three punch combo from Edgar misses.  Edgar throws a head kick that misses.  Left hand by Penn glances. Edgar gets in with a nice right hand. Not a ton of action to talk about but Edgar is making it very hard for B.J. to find him.  Nice counter right hand and a jab by Penn.  That right hand was the best punch of the round.  Round will be decided in the last 30 seconds.  Counter left by Penn.  Body punch for Edgar.  Leg kick by Penn.  10-9 round for Penn on my card but VERY close.  Round 5 - Edgar with a takedown and Penn stands back up from underneath him eating a punch in the process.  Head kick from Edgar is blocked.  Left hand by Edgar.  Leg kick by Penn.  Right hand by Penn as Edgar tries to lock up.  Now a left from Edgar.  Right hand by Frankie lands clean.  Kick from Penn is blocked.  Edgar tries for a takedown again and can't finish.  And again.  Now a left hand by Edgar.  Right hand by Penn.  Left hand by Edgar.  Right hand by Penn and the round ends.  10-9 Edgar on my card.  48-47 Penn for the total.  Official Scorecards:  50-45, 48-47, 49-46 all for Frankie Edgar!  Frankie Edgar wins by unanimous decision.  Frankie Edgar is the new UFC Lightweight Champion.

Anderson Silva vs. Demian Maia - Round 1 - No action for the first thirty seconds.  Now no action for the first sixty seconds.  Kick to the knee by Silva and it's the only strike that lands in the first 90 seconds.  Low kick by Anderson lands hard and spins Maia around.  Spinning back kick by Anderson just misses.  Right hand by Silva and a few low kicks.  There is just not much happening this round.  Head kick misses for Silva and then a low kick.  Jumps in with a punch and Silva is just clowning around now.  Flying kinee lands for Silva that drops Maia and as Maia scoots forward Silva kicks him in the hand.  The round ends and it was 10-9 Silva, it'd have been 10-8 if he wanted it to be. But there really wasn't enough done.  Round 2 - Silva continuing to clown Maia and there just isn't anything that Demian can do.  Silva could finish this fight whenever he wants but he's just continuing to toy with Maia.  Now some capoeira from Silva and another leg kick.  Maia with a desperation shot and Silva avoids.  Anderson is telling him to stand up with him and daring him to hit him.  Anderson is just tauting him and avoiding any punch he throws.  It's impossible to describe in words the level of taunting that is going on right now by Anderson Silva.  Body kick lands for Silva and then Maia misses a shot.  Leg kicks landing for Silva and now a jab.  And another jab. Right hand lands now.  10-9 Silva.  Round 3 - Left hand for Maia kind of lands.  Anderson with a solid leg kick and Maia is bleeding from the nose from one of the many punches he's taken.  Leg kick again from Silva and we're starting to get into "just finish it" territory.  Anderson is throwing straight kicks at Maia's knee now.  Silva swings and misses so Maia tries to pounce.  It doesn't work and Maia ends up eating a head kick and a few punches before missing a shot.  Left hand from Maia lands solid and Anderson taunts him again.  One, two lands for Anderson.  Punch to the thigh by Anderson.  Left hand lands for Maia again and he's still trying.  Punch lands for Anderson.  This is going far too long.  It's pointless scoring here but that was 10-9 Silva  Round 4 - Left hand lands flush for Maia.  Anderson is just backing up and circling this round.  Big punch misses for Maia and finally Silva throws a body kick that lands. This fight is boring and should have been over in the first round but Anderson Silva just does not care.  Maia chants in the crowd now.  Leg kick lands for Silva.  GSP chants in the crowd.  One minute left.  Anderson is circling away and not engaging so he complains that Maia isn't engaging him.  You know what?  The best strike of that round was Maia's left hand.  Screw it.  10-9 Maia.  Round 5 -Maia blew his nose and his left eye is shut now. Dana White went and yelled at Anderson Silva's corner.  This is a shameful fight.  Absolutely shameful. Anderson looks like he's running at this point.  As Maia comes forward he lands a series of clean punches.  Now Maia is throwing punches at him from his knees.  Maia is losing but he's the one fighting like a champion in this fight.  I'm legitimately disgusted with Anderson Silva.  This is far more emotion than I normally show in a live blog but this is awful.  Maia gets inside and almost has a takedown.  Silva continues to circle and not engage.  Anderson Silva is warned that he is going to have a point taken if he keeps running away. Maia throws an overhand right that misses and the fight comes to an end.  Pathetic, pathetic performance by Anderson Silva.  10-9 round for Maia and I gave the fight to Silva 48-47.  Anderson Silva wins by unanimous decision.  They did not announce the scores.

No it's at 10 AM pacific.

i think the ppv’s usually “start” an hour early. they just fill that hour with stuff like the countdown show or the weigh ins.

From UFC's twitter:

We’re only going to say this one time – you CAN watch UFC 112 live on PPV at 1 pm ET/10 am PT; replay is at normal time 10 pm ET/7 pm PT.

And the big COUNTDOWN CLOCK & UFC 112 POSTER on the TOP RIGHT OF THE SCREEN should help.

I was debating making an abu dhabi themed one, or this, but I think this was the better choice since it is headlined by some of the most decorated/talented jiujitsu guys in MMA.

One that had some sort of faux-Arabic script would have been tacky, I think. The belt signifies Gracie, Penn, and Maia, and is also a subtle callback to ADCC tournaments. This is excellent. Are you the new full-time poster-maker?

Good to know you guys are doing the coverage live, i will not be here since i actually convinced my friends to watch it, but i look foward to your opinions on the fights, especially Kid Nate’s.

by bigcherry on Apr 9, 2010 10:49 PM EDT reply actions  

Fuk everyone I am picking Maia and Frankie for these fights now. This is too much,. These guys get no respect.

Maia takes down Sonnen at will. Sonnen wrestling >>>>>>>>>AS wrestling

Frankie holds his own boxing and actually pushes the pace where others could not.

BJ dictates pace for Joe Daddy, Sherk, Florian, and Diego. Bj controlled the pace.

BJ not in control of the pace will gas 4th n 5th rounds instead of gassing in the second when he wasnt in shape.

by p123 on Apr 9, 2010 11:32 PM EDT reply actions  

Maia didn’t have to worry about Sonnen’s striking when coming in. He does with Silva.

I love Maia as much as anyone. I will nuthug him until the end of time but the only way he wins is if he magically gets Silva on his back and catches him. It’s tough. But at least he has a chance. Edgar has none.

If I was in Vegas this week like I will be next week, then I would have put $100 down on an Edgar-Maia-Renzo parlay. I think it would go off at $14,000 if I won. That’d be intense.

Sorry man, I just calls em like I sees em. Everybody sees those huge odds and thinks it’s a great opportunity to make some big money, but it’s not. If anything the odds should be even more in favor of Penn and Silva.

There’s a bigger chance of Maia knocking him out than that happening, anyways i’ll probably stay away from here all afternoon and order it at 10 PM. 1 PM is too early for live mma for me on a Saturday and i’m also leaning on picking the 3 upsets just for the fuck of it something has got to give on this card.

Well I've got the following:

Silva via KO in r1
Penn via sub (rnc) in 3
Hughes via decision
Dos Anjos via decision
Munoz via TKO (iffy on this one)

Davis via sub (armbar) in r1
Taylor via TKO in r3
Story via decision (uncomfortable with this one as well. story is a bit too open and could get mugged quick on the feet)
Blackburn via TKO in r2
Veach via TKO in r3
Madsen via top control special in a snoozer.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

Silva by TKO/KO rd 1
Penn by RNC rd 2 or 3
Hughes by Top Control Decision
Etim by close decision (FOTN)
Grove by Triangle rd 1 (SOTN)
Davis by Kimura rd 2 or 3
Story via close decision (mostly from wrestling and top control)
Blackburn by KO rd 1 (hurts me to make this pick, I’m from SLC, UT in the same area as Johnson, don’t know him personally though)
Veach by brutal KO rd 1 or early 2nd (KOTN)
Madsen by Top Control Decision

I think most people will go edgar because I don’t see this fight putting aoki over penn, so edgar sort of has to go to 1 by default.

No

Maia is on another plane, and his BJJ is a lot more aggressive than Leites. BJ losing should make everyone think twice about just invincible any P4P fighter is, imo BJ is the most talented fighting in the world and just lost to someone that wasn’t given a chance… BJ was favored -1100 on some sites less than 5 hours ago.

He answers the question as if he thinks getting tapped a little bit gets him scared and decides to score a few points then runs around.

Call him a counter striker all you want he had plenty of opportunities to counter Maia’s punches in the 4th and 5th

by YoungGun on Apr 10, 2010 4:00 PM EDT reply actions  

It didn’t seem that he had any desire to finish him or really fight with him at all after his “tantrum” in the 2nd.

by capital L on Apr 10, 2010 4:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

I give Mia lots of credit. He had the heart to trade with a far superior striker. Punches from the knees are something else…

And all three BJJ guys lost (Gracie, Penn, Maia).

by dribblebib on Apr 10, 2010 4:01 PM EDT reply actions  

All 3 fights took place on the feet

Anderson is a black belt as well, and Hughes has extremely high level grappling, I think that statement is a bit unfair. Also, Penn was [and still is] considered the superior striker. Shit happens.

Joe said Silva WILL fight GSP at 170 though, right? Despite this performance, GSP and Anderson are still the two best mixed martial artists alive and that’s the best fight you can make and i really want to see it.

I hope I don’t have to read the same “Anderson is bored because he is sooo much better than his opponents crap” anymore.

Bottom line, Anderson Silva is afraid to engage. It’s a pattern now. It’s even more pathetic considering how easily he could have just broken Maia/Leites down with a straight-forward attack. He could just walk through these guys like a hot knife through butter. But noooooooo, it’s fucking Dance Dance Revolution time for Anderson if his opponent doesn’t come running directly at him.

How do you know he's "afraid"

Maybe he’s under a gypsy curse or something equally unknowable and implausible

by capital L on Apr 10, 2010 4:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

He ran away from Demian Maia. Like, literally ran away.

Obviously I don’t know for a fact that he’s scared, but he sure as hell looks like he’s terrified to initiate the attack.

by a tommy point on Apr 10, 2010 4:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think he was in trouble in the fifth round, I think he ran away because he knew he was winning for sure

nah, i don’t think “afraid” is the word. he just thinks he’s bruce lee, and still can’t comprehend that people pay to see fights, and no shit he memorized from movies.

I'm betting it wasn't.

I think the post fight will be hilarious. Dana will be going insane

anyone else think it was a bad move for dana to be speaking to soares during the fight?

i can totally understand him being displeased with the performance, but actually speaking to his corner, seems like a huge no-no.

dunno… maybe this stuff happens more often than i realize.

I thought Soares is his manager. He’s in the corner as well?

by cobracore on Apr 10, 2010 4:09 PM EDT reply actions  

perhaps you’re right. soares probably doesn’t have direct contact with him between rounds. still… it seems like a weird attempt to be an influence on a fight.

by woooburn on Apr 10, 2010 4:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

DID you guys see how Dana just gave the belt to soares instead of putting it on the chanpion he was pissed

Didn’t watch the fight, but out of curiosity can a ref actually deduct a point for not engaging under Unified Rules? I know Herb Dean threatened to with Werdum Arlovski…has it happened before?

by TLow on Apr 10, 2010 4:11 PM EDT reply actions  

Yes. I know there is some thing like that in the Unified Rules.

I think this is the Foul he was referring to:

Timidity, including, without limitation, avoiding contact with an opponent, intentionally or consistently dropping the mouthpiece or faking an injury.

Ok thank you. Wondering when the last time that’s been done it.

No point was deducted, but The Mirg did call time and make a warning.

by Dropkick434 on Apr 10, 2010 4:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah saw that in liveblogging. Also in comments some people were saying “that was about 4 rounds too late”etc so I was wondering whether there was a precedent for him to be following.

The only thing that makes tonights title fights amusing is the fact that people were pointing to Silva and Penn as shining examples of what GSP needs to do in the cage…LOL!

by snakecharmer1340 on Apr 10, 2010 5:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

I am tired, and angry and here are my thoughts.

The Hughes/Gracie fight was disgusting.

The Penn/Edgar decision and Rogan’s commentary in that fight was disgusting.

Silva vs. Maia was doublely disgusting as both of em.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

Just giving this a bit of thought.

Anderson’s last fight was in Montreal, a great fight city. He could have put on the worst card in UFC history and people would come back to the next one.

This was the main event of what was supposed to be a regional breakthrough. This one could have a bigger impact…

by TLow on Apr 10, 2010 4:43 PM EDT reply actions  

It's impossible to describe in words the level of taunting that is going on right now by Anderson Silva.

haven’t seen the fight….but just because of this one sentence…..I MUST

silva should’ve killed maia halfway through the fight and it’d all have been a great show. but that was just boring to the max.

Go big red!

by pornflake on Apr 10, 2010 9:53 PM EDT reply actions  

Arrest him.

I always wate money on these stupid things hoping to see Silva get his ass beat, and he just ends up dancing around the cage like a jackass for 5 rounds. That amounts to stealing.
