UFN Prelims

[dragomort]

Already going on, apparently:

from sherdog-

Dan Miller vs. Rob Kimmons
Round 1
The fighers start the bout by throwing leather and then clinching. In a scramble Miller takes the back of Kimmons and gets his hooks in. Still standing, Kimmons defends the rear-naked choke. The IFL champ sinks in the choke and Kimmons falls to the mat. The tap comes at 1:27 of the opening frame.

Drew McFedries vs. Mike Massenzio
Round 1
Massenzio ducks a McFedries punch and takes down the Miletich fighter. On the ground, the IFL veteran moves to side-sontrol and then gets forced to guard. From there, McFedries frames up a triangle but Massenzio gets out and moves to the north-south position. Massenzio steps a leg over the Iowan’s head and sinks in a deep kimura. McFedries taps at the 1:28 mark.

[brainuse]

It is too bad that the blueprint to beat McFedries is now common knowledge. No one with any kind of takedowns or floor savvy is going to stand there and let him drop bombs on them, and that makes me sad.

Jason Brilz vs. Brad Morris
Round 1
Jason Brilz is welcomed by his hometown crowd with a loud ovation. Morris, the Aussie is booed immediately.

Morris throws a right low kick and is scooped and slammed for his effort. Passing to side-control, the Cornhusker is in the dominant position against the fence. Morris gives up his back and the Nebraskan sinks in his hooks. Fighting for hand control, Morris defends any choke attempts. At the 2:40 mark, Brilz flattens his opponent and throws some punches to the head. Morris turns so he is mounted and Brilz moves back to side-control. Brilz rains down elbows from the side mount. With one minute remaining, Brilz goes for a keylock that fails. With 10 seconds left, Morris gives up his back and Brilz attempts an armbar. The round expires. Sherdog.com scores round 10-9 for Brilz.

[dragomort]

R2-Morris attempts a takedown early and Brilz utilizes his wrestling prowess to reverse his attempt and land in his guard. The Nebraskan fighter moves to side mount and briefly attempts a Kimura. Brilz takes Morris’ back landing left and rights like the first round. The ref had seen enough and halted the fight.

How the fuck are the prelims on right now?

[dragomort]

[kcb]

The UFN card starts at 8PM Eastern, 7PM Central, right?

[Sir Gibbs]

Main event starts in about 2 hours doesn't it? And they've got about 6 prelims in total. Sounds about right for it to have started.

I think it's on at about 1am over here.

[brainuse]

Main event begins at 8 PM EST in the US. 2 hours worth of main card, and the The Ultimate Fighter season premiere follows at 10 PM.

Gibbs, if you guys are still 5 hours ahead (I can never keep up with time changes and it's always too early for me to do math on weekends when I'm watching EPL), you're dead on with 1 AM.

EDIT: Who airs these over there? Sky?

[dragomort]

Kyle Bradley vs. Joe Lauzon
R1-Lots of respect shown by both fighters early on. Lauzon closes in and clinches. Joe falls quickly to the mat to apply a heel hook, Bradley eventually escapes. Both guys get up and exchange knees. Bradley stuns Lauzon to one knee with a right but Lauzon quickly recovers. Fighters circle and exchange for a few minutes, Lauzon lands a nice hook that sends Bradley back temporarily. Close round.

MMAWeekly scores R1 10-9 for Joe Lauzon

R2-Lauzon closes in but Bradley is more active with his strikes. Lauzon shoots in for a double and gets it, attaining full mount shortly after. Bradley turns over and Lauzon reigns downs punches, forcing referee Josh Arney to halt the bout.

[dragomort]

yeah, sounds like I get to catch a hopeful replay :(

[kcb]

God dammit, Kyle.

[Sir Gibbs]

I think we're constantly 5 hours ahead of Eastern time.

Setanta Sports shows UFC, I unfortunately don't have it and am too much of a cheap skate to pay for it right now when I can potentially get the fights for free off the interweb.

It used to be shown on a tv channel called Bravo, which was brilliant because it comes with Sky's basic package. Not anymore however.

MMAWeekly's speed is impressive lately on the pbp's.

I thought it was 6 sometimes based on daylight savings and such, but I could be wrong.

I desperately need to get Setanta and Goal TV, but it's not happening anytime soon.

MMAWeekly must have someone with a laptop typing from ringside.

Wilson Gouveia vs. Ryan Jensen
R1-Ryan Jensen gets a huge standing applause during his introduction. Fighters touch gloves and begin to circle. Jensen throws a high left kick and Gouveia defends. Wilson throws the occasional leg kick as Jensen becomes more confident with his strikes. Jensen lands a right leg kick that buckles the Brazilian. Jensen gets a takedown and lands in guard, pushing Gouveia into the fence. Wilson attempts an armbar and Jensen escapes and proceeds to throw a flurry of punches. The crowd goes wild. Gouveia gets back up and takes Jensen down but the Nebraskan fighter reverses and briefly takes his back. Gouveia pulls guard again as the round ends.

MMAWeekly scores R1 10-9 for Ryan Jensen

R2-Jensen seems a little tired at the start. Gouveia lands a nice jab and Jensen lands an unintentional groin kick. Fight is stopped shortly. Both fighters exchanging and Jensen gets a trip takedown, landing in half guard. Gouveia slaps on an armbar and Jensen is forced to tap shortly after.

Wilson Gouveia def. Ryan Jensen by submission (Armbar) at 2:04 , RD2

[dragomort]

Should I do a quick Vbookie on how many 'USA!' chants we get?

Joe Vedepo vs. Alessio Sakara
R1-Fighters circle early, Vedepo goes in a for single leg but Sakara defends. Vedepo stunned Sakara momentarily in the clinch and the fighters break free. Sakara lands a right high kick that knocks Vedepo outcold.

Alessio Sakara def. Joe Vedepo by TKO (Right High Kick) at 1:27, RD1
