Lyle "Fancy Pants" Beerbohm used the trademark modified guillotine of his student and TUF 12 cast-member, Cody McKenzie, to choke out Josh Calvo at Rumble on the Ridge 14 in Washington on Saturday. The win improves Beerbohm's record to 14-0.

Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro to appeal the loss to Lyle Beerbohm: André Pederneiras, Nova União’s leader and the manager Alex Davis will file a lawsuit along with the Athletic Commission, asking them to change the result. "They can’t do that, is absurd, it’s not right. Even if I have to ask the help of a lawyer, I will change this outcome", says André. Despite being a hard mission to accomplish, Pederneiras hopes make the result a No Contest, at least. And he has done that before when he cancelled the loss of Róbson Moura against Mamoru Yamaguchi in 2004. -- Click here to watch the fight at strikeforce.com.
