UFC 140 Results: Winners, Losers, and Other Thoughts

UFC 140 was in my mind one of the most memorable fight cards in UFC history. 11 out of 12 fights were exciting and the Frank Mir - Nogueira fight had historical significance. As with ever MMA event there are winners and there are losers. Let's take a look at who had the best and worst performances on the night. I'll have additional thoughts as well regarding some fights after the jump.
WINNERS
Jon Jones - Really the most obvious choice. Jones is having a career year and has firmly established himself as the top light heavyweight in the world. After the fights, Dana White thought out loud regarding who could possibly beat his champion. The choke was slick and seeing Machida crumpled up unconscious was an eerie sight. Jones will be the champion until he's too big for the weight class. Heavyweights have been put on notice.
Frank Mir - Being the first man to knock Nogueira out is a huge accomplishment. Being the first man to submit Nogueira was unheard of. Tonight Frank Mir became that man. In order to make the Brazilian tap, Mir was forced to break Nogueira's arm with a kimura. Huge win and could open up a huge opportunity soon.
Chan Sung Jung - Officially tied for fasted knockout in UFC history. The win will obviously propel Jung up the featherweight rankings. Maybe a fight with Hatsu Hioki or Michihiro Omigawa? Both have divisional relevance. Jung is still instinctual but he just showed he has real power in his hands.
Small UFC Bantamweights - Dana White official announced the flyweight division at the post-fight press conference. There will be a four man tournament to crown a champion. This means that the small guys in the division can fight at their natural weight class. Huge night for the little guys.
Dana White - He needed a night like tonight after the week he's had. Losing GSP for a year is terrible news. Having your light heavyweight champion retain his belt definitely makes it easier.
Losers and other thoughts after the jump...
SBN coverage of UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida
LOSERS
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - You claimed to be back following your win over Brendan Schaub at UFC 134. Tonight he looked slow on the ground and not too agile on the feet. At one point in his career Nog would never have gotten injured from a kimura. Last night he got his arm broken.
Tito Ortiz - There was talk that this would be his last fight. Following the loss to Rogerio Nogueira, he said he wanted his last fight contracted fight. He's now campaigning for a fight with Forrest Griffin to conclude the rivalry. My issue is that this is the third time Ortiz has been dropped following a knee to the body. He can't fight anymore.
John Makdessi - He entered the fight as the next big lightweight prospect in the UFC. Dennis Hallman exposed Makdessi's lack of grappling knowledge riding from mount to back control. He needs to strongly consider dropping to featherweight since's severely outsized at lightweight.
The Bantamweight divisision - Two of the four participants for the flyweight tournament are former bantamweight contenders in Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez. Bantamweight already lacks depth. With a some of the division cutting to 125, what does that say about future match ups at 135?
OTHER THOUGHTS:
- Lyoto Machida looked great in the first round. He was landing on Jones and was the first man to ever expose any sort of weakness the champ may have. That elbow was the fight changer as it was the first strike that has ever made Machida quit. He's not a huge loser tonight because he still had the performance in the first round.
- Goldberg and Rogan were very much off their games tonight. They often ignored full sequences of fights to discuss inane topics. I understand that the UFC is winding down after a rough year but these guys need to be at the top of their game every night.
- I'm pretty bummed that neither Rogan or Goldberg made any comment about Frank Shamrock, who was working Brian Ebersole's corner. We joke about the UFC's ability to ignore the past but tonight was a great moment to reference a MMA legend and instead Shamrock was ignored.
- Mark Hominick needed a win. Not just to get back in the W column but also to get his life back under control. He lost his best friend earlier this year when it was announced that Shawn Tompkins had passed away. Hopefully UFC brass take their time with the Machine, he's got the popularity to make a different in the Canadian market.

I don't think Machida quit mentally,
but in the post presser he did mention that he the blood from the cut started to interfere with his vision, and that he thought that might be the beginning to something bad, but he tried to fight through it. Maybe that concern was what the quit reference was to, because Machida certainly didn’t quit.

his body quit on him
that elbow was simply too much
as far as mentally quitting though theres absolutely no way you can say machida did that. the guy pretty much went out on his shield.

After the elbow, he was able to get back to his feet, break from Jones’ clinch and get back out of range. He was subsequently dropped by a punch thrown by Jones while in the middle of throwing a punch of his own. He didn’t quit. His body didn’t quit. Lyoto was still in the fight until Jones dropped him. I saw nothing that would indicate otherwise.
He was grazed by that elbow. What concussion are we talking about?
The end came when he made the same mistake he did against Shogun the second time, which is: to rush with one power strike with no set up, no defense.

I didn’t think it made him quit. Actually, I was impressed that Machida worked his way back to his feet after that elbow. Had he quit, he would have just been finished with ground n pound.

Seeing Lyoto fall like a sack of potatoes on the floor was so sad to watch.
I dont think that hellbow made lyoto quit, Jones caught him and found his neck open for a guillotine.

Maybe they should, you know, start practicing. I think they need to recognize that it’s not the dark days anymore, they’re not trying to appeal exclusively to the ‘JUST BLEED! crowd, and that many of their newer fans expect a higher level of announcing. And by ’higher level’, I don’t just mean in their professionalism, I also mean in the depth of their analysis, the smoothness of their transitions, and their timing. I mean, Goldberg still calls a front kick of any kind that isn’t to the head a teep; they don’t seem to know who is responsible for what part of calling the fight; and Goldberg always seems to be advertising when the action picks up, or Rogan is often explaining a move well after the fight has moved on. Back in the day, that stuff was forgivable. Problem is, they really aren’t IMPROVING over time, and risk getting left behind by the very product that they’re trying sell (I mean UFC, not Harley Davidson or Bud Lime or…).
"I'm AJB and I endorse this nut-puncher."
It is so cool to me
That being made to look human has added to the aura of invincibility of Jones. He clearly can take some of the best hits his opponents offer, and that’s frightening. Taking those hits actually made him look more human, but far less beatable.
Business as Usual has a STACKED team. I mean, we could win with just me, but you know.
by halitosis on Dec 11, 2011 10:19 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Come on, don’t act like this is a Fujita-Fedor moment. It’s not like Jones was out of it for even 5 seconds. If he takes a full on right hand from Hendo, is on queer street and survives then that makes him look ‘almost’ human.
by basvanderwolk on Dec 11, 2011 10:30 AM EST up reply actions
I dunno 'bout that. I think seeing Hominick get trucked sobered any expectation I had that a guy taking loads of punches one time has "proved" much of anything.
If Jones took the equivalent of that one good punch he’d have been flat out on his back and people would be calling him glass chinned, and whatnot.

It’s true that the ability to take a shot in one circumstance doesn’t necessarily carry over to another, but some guys just can’t seem to take a shot in almost any circumstance. Look at Jonathan Goulet; the wind blows to hard and he falls over, despite his other skills. The knock on Jones was that his chin hadn’t been ‘tested’ – actually a compliment in that no one had been able to land a clean shot on him. There’s no (and can’t be) evidence that he can take ANY shot, but there is not evidence that he can take A shot, meaning he’s at least slightly less foldable than a lawn chair.

Yeah he does

Ortiz can’t fight anymore because you saw him get dropped for a third time by a knee to the body? I’m assuming the other 2 times you’re referring to are Lyoto and Rashad, which collectively occurred over a multi-year span? I’m not saying Ortiz should keep fighting, but your logic makes as much sense as words coming out of Tito’s mouth.

I have to take issue with the comments about Big Nog as well. Earlier in his career he wouldn’t have been injured by a kimura? His age didn’t break his arm, a 260lb black belt did.
He also looked pretty good on his feet peppering away at Mir. He made a mistake by giving up on the punches to go for the guillotine and leaving his arm out in the ensuing scramble. I’m not sure how he looked particularly slow on the ground.
Yeah I thought his stand-up looked okay vs Mir.
Kendall Grove is my second favorite fighter. Everyone else is my favorite.
by monkeyfightclub on Dec 11, 2011 10:33 AM EST up reply actions
Agreed,
Nog was beating the brakes off of Frank Mir. He just made a positional mistake that might very well cost him the rest of his career.
I am curious why so many writers are so ready to retire people after every single card?
" Tell me something Steve, How does a guy from Puerto Rico lose a ball in the Sun? "
Because
They have feelings attached to fighters who have done alot for our sport already and hate seeing them lose and lose terribly over and over again. If Nog wants a paycheck, then by all means get that money old man. I’d rather you retire and train the newbreed of Martial Artists though.
completely agree
Nog looked good, almost had a TKO, make the two mistakes you mentioned, and got beat by a powerful and excellent HW grappler. These guys are closely matched, often one small mistake is what separates the winner from the loser. I also don’t get why people (including Dana White) want to retire a guy after every loss, unless he has private information about people’s mental decline from taking head shots.
Nog almost won tonite, if he had people probably would have said “Mir is a gatekeeper, blah blah”.
I want to know how many times Goldberg finished a phrase with “in history”. I usually don’t take issue with the commentary, but he was terrible.

Yeah...he kinda goes out of his way to kick Nog's ass; it's not like you can control your bone from breaking like that.
Or maybe he meant he wouldn’t have allowed himself to get put in that position in the first place? It’s still kind of a dicey thing to say.

Definitely.
I thought that was the best stand up I’ve ever seen from Nog. I know he’s a black belt but I was honestly puzzled about why he didn’t try finishing with strikes. Heat of the moment thing.

His standup was much, much better during the second Fedor fight, I believe.

Instead of trying to prove he had a better submission game by trying to choke Mir out he should of just kept pounding him till the ref stepped in. Instead it bit him in the ass. That was stupid of him.

Matt, you are being unfair.
The elbow didn’t make machida “quit,” he was groggy after some of those connected squarely on his head. Jones has a mass of over 205 pounds and is quite strong, and more than likely to give you a concussion if he strikes at you repeatedly.
Add to that that Machida has never been a guy with that resistant of a chin in the first place—kinda like Frank Mir. Dude was almost put out by then.

You could see after standing back up that MAchida just lost the will to fight. No crispness to anything he did.

There’s just no objective wa of answering this other than “to me it looked like,” or something similar.

I think
He just watched the fight, saw a guy get elbowed, and not look the same afterwards. Seems like valid assumptions to me right or wrong. Machidas the man, but cut him or hurt him and he kinda losing his mojo, which is a big part of his game.
Well, I agree with that; but how can we extrapolate from there and into a statement of his competitive mindset?
Seems like grasping at straws to build an argument to me.

The elbow broke his confidence.
Not his will to fight. There’s a difference.
Share for share, share alike, you'll get struck each time I strike.
Jones will be the champion until he’s too big for the weight class.
No.
This sounds like:
- GSP is athletic, too great for the welterweight class, he “should” move up.
- Anderson Silva is too big for the MW division. Silva is not bigger than Belcher, Okami, or Sonnen.
- Is Frankie Edgar too small.
- Is Brock Lesnar, Alistair Overeem or Antonio SIlva too big for the HW division? No.
I’m just saying.
Let’s not forget that Forrest Griffin is a HUGE LHW fighter.

But Jones has the frame of a heavyweight, GSP didn't have the frame (or knees) of a middleweight.
Jones will move up to heavyweight given time to develop naturally, he doesn’t have to get rushed.

Jones will not move up to HW
He has good advisors like GSP. He will dominate his weight class and keep earning instead of exposing himself to fighters more likely to one-shot-KO him. The idea that he will HAVE to move up because his body inevitably “fills out” is inaccurate.

That really sounds nothing like those other sentences. Jones is still filling out because he’s so young. Based on his frame, it’s likely that at some point he will simply be too big to make the cut down to LHW.
Until then, let the kid live.

Few comments...
I don’t think Big Nog did anything wrong (other than wait too long to tap). If there was any other heavyweight on top of him he would have likely escaped that kimura. I think he followed Mir to the ground thinking he was seriously hurt and he could quickly finish him.
I don’t think that relatively light elbow that Jones caught Machida with on the ground made him quit, I doubt it even hurt very much. The cut was bleeding, but really he just got caught in a standing guillotine.
The reason that Shamrock’s name didn’t come up during the broadcast was because he has been persona non grata with the UFC for a long time. All kinds of other lesser known fighters and trainers get mentioned, but the UFC still holds a beef with Frank. Same thing with Big John, it was a year before they would even say his name on the air after he came back and was reffing UFC matches. How quickly he fell from “the best in the business” in their eyes.
Yeah I disagree with idea that Machida quit too.
He got back up from under Jones when I certainly thought he may not. And how can it be said a guy quit, when he doesn’t even tap and goes unconcious? Tapping is the very epitome of quitting. I just found that statement odd. Guy got caught with a sneaky submission while in an awkward position. If anybody quit at all last night, I would say Tito did. He was just biding his time turtling while waiting for the ref to save him.
"Well, I’m 22 right now, so in three years I see myself being 25." – Rampage Jackson, when he was asked where he saw himself in 3 years.
I think you're being WAY too negative about Big Nog
He was “back” and was winning that fight until he decided to go for a guillotine for whatever stupid ass reason. He dropped Mir and if he would have kept punching would have finished him off. I came out more impressed with Nog as a fighter than Mir. If they give Mir to Cain then he’s gonna get destroyed.
Agreed
He looked awesome on the feet. Outboxed Mir, looked FASTER than Mir and nearly put him away. Every fighter makes a mistake which is what happened last night. This wasn’t a case of old age and to say that is pretty stupid IMO.
Mir looked like he combined his 2009 UberMir physique with his post-motorcycle crash blob physique. Nog looked healthy and ready to put him away. Things like that happen sometime, its MMA.

Just out of curiosity, do you stand by the comment that Jones’ elbow made Machida quit? I ask, in part, because I noticed in your results recap of the fight you wrote that the choke was sunk in immediately following the restart by McCarthy (“As they got back into position Jones was able to sink in the choke and after readjusting his grips he put Machida to sleep standing”), when in reality Lyoto broke the clinch, reestablished his range and was then dropped by a Jones punch before the choke was applied. You left that sequence out, which makes me think perhaps your memory of the fight was one of Machida being submitted immediately following the takedown/elbow.

Dana, why you no add pinweight division?

"Parangaricutirimicuaro, I put the shadow in your complex."
Big Nog looked even better on the feet than he did against Schaub. His punches looked crisp, and faster (by Big Nog standards, of course). If there’s anything you can hold against him, it’s that he A) Went for that submission and B) Didn’t tap out.
As for Machida “quitting” from the elbow, it’s obvious that it effected him, but the dude didn’t quit. When he got dropped by Jones, he was throwing punches and engaging…he wasn’t as effective, but there’s a difference between being effected by a powerful strike that cuts you and gets blood in yours eyes, and quitting. Like, a big difference.

You know..
hopefully Duane Ludwig’s KO will finally become officially recognized, I think it’s being reviewed by the NSAC. I don’t know the process, but maybe just watching the fight (it will take 10 seconds, at most) and then simply confirming that indeed, Duane Ludwig knocked this guy out in like 3 seconds…. seems like an easy process. It’s idiotic that they have to go through all of these steps to get this acknowledgment.
