Alright, it’s that time again. We have a very nice Main Event fight, and some nice fights overall for free TV. As always, I will be bringing you the fights as I see them, and record them for all time on my trusty VHS tapes. I see BJM grew a beard and stuff.
THE FIGHTS:
Josh Koscheck vs. Jonathan Goulet(Welterweights)
Rd. 1:
A lot of circling, then some strikes and some nice kicks, a punch and some circling. Kos hits Jon hard and Josh gets a Guillotine choke, but fails to sink it. In half guard, this looks like a standard Kos lay-n-pray right now, though he’s throwing some punches, and Goulet is trying to get a better position. Goulet has Kos’s right arm locked up, then Kos gets posed up and Jon eats some punches and elbows. Kos’s arm is again locked up, and he’s still stuck in halfguard. Shit, Goulet gave up the back, and Kos drops a few punches. That’s a nice flurry. Appears that Jon taps? Apparently not, BJM stops the fight.
GAME, SET, MATCH- Koscheck WINS, TKO (4:10, Rd. 1)
Koscheck’s standup HAS improved ALOT since his TUF appearance. His ground also, it turns out it was NOT a Koschek lay-n-pray. nice to see a decisive victory for the guy.
He talks about MySpace, I tried getting him on on the first day of TUF and been re-applying every month or so and he never adds me. I’m kinda pissed. Oh, and yes, I do have a Myspace, but I also have a life.
Dean Lister vs. Yuki Sasaki(Middleweights)
Rd. 1:
I hate Steve Mazigatti…
Starts out with almost no action at all, then Dean shoots but fails. Throws an elbow, but then he’s against the fence. Slow action thus far. Steve separates them. Yuki goes for a cool punch, anf fails, lister kicks high, an echange of kicks and a punch exchange. Dean catches a kick, and SHOOTS, but fails again. And they hit the ground, dean hanging on like a monkey, and it’s DOWN again! Dean going for a RNC, but Yuki seems to be defending well. Dean throws some punches, and they start moving. AND DOWN AGAIN, courtesy of Dean. He throws some shots, trying to choke Yuki now, but Yuki still defending well. Dean on top throws some shots, then they roll over and over. Yuki pulls some fun stuff, and eats an elbow near the end of Rd. 1.
I score it: 10-9 Dean
Rd. 2:
They start with a nice exchange, and dean goes for another failed shoot. more exchanging of shots, and another botched takedown attempt followed with a punch. Lister screws up a shoot, and Yuki gets on top. It appears Dean’s going for a triangle, and Dean is throwing some elbows from the bottom. And then it’s a slow action, and Dean near has an armbar. But no, they fall back down, and has a triangle. It may only be time now. Yuki is eating some elbows, and is bound to screw up soon. Has an armbar, gets mounted, and hits back control. Yuki eats some punches. Standing again. Some nice pun ches by Sasaki on the feet, and the round ends with Dean eating shots.
I score it: 10-9 Dean, even with that finishing flurry by Yuki.
Rd. 3:
Srarts with a punch and kick from each of them, and lister tries a kick. Lister falls down, and stands up. Now they’re both just throwing, Yuki getting the better of the exchanges. Lister’s striking isn’t good. Lister going for another takedown on the fence. He’s starting to tire bad though. Sasaki is on top now, which is bad. But they don’t do anything. Though both stand again. and Sasaki punches hard and goes down. Stands up, Yuki keeps punching, Dean takedown to some reversals. On the fence, and they just stand there. Just standing, AND DOWN. Dean on the back, and then another stand against the cage. Lister breaks it with an elbow, and they throw a few lazy shots. Shoots, and against the fence they go and DOWN.
I score it: 10-9 Dean
My Total: 30-27 Dean
Judges score the fight: 30-27 Unanimous for Dean
DEAN WINS, 2-0 in UFC, 9-4 overall
Round three showed Lister’s cardio isn’t the best, but that’s OK, something for him to work on. Yuki has nice standup, nice TD defense, and a decent ground. Against Lister, to survive on the ground is some serious shit.
Chris Leben vs. Jorge Santiago(Middleweights)
Rd. 1:
shit,, it’s Herb…
Starts out with some circling, and a kick from Jorge. Chris lunges and misses, and another kick from jorge. Leben punches low, and now an exchange getting Leben in guard. Leben stands and falls back, avoiding an armbar. Side conteol for Leben, dropping shots hard. Then leben stands and throws some long shots. Leben back in guard, bleeding. Dropped an elbow, stands up. Leben kicks the legs, and falls back into Jorges guard. Throws some body shots, and get stood up. Leben is chasing Jorge with some shots, and they end up back in the middle. More chasing, and a kick from leben. Dodges a shot, and throws some of his own. Santiago on top on the ground. Chris is struggling for position, trying to sit up. Chris has him in half-guard. Still there at the buzzer.
I score it: 10-9 Leben. In my opinion, he just did more that round.
Rd. 2:
starts with chris throwing and Santiago tries to takedown. Doesn;t work, and another shot, Leben falls onto him and Herb stops after some punches.
LEBEN WINS, KO!!! (0:35, Rd. 2)
I dunno about this one, Chris’s ground still isn’t great. But a tough opponent he faced. And KO’d him. Not a bad comeback.
Joe Riggs vs. Jason Von Flue(Welterweights)(BONUS TELEVISED FIGHT)
Riggs stayed at welter…Huh I still hate Steve…
Rd. 1:
It starts slow, then Flue tries something stupid, and Riggs hits nicely. Riggs gets a kick and a fun takedown. A small ground struggly ensues, and gets Flue’s back. REVERSAL of positions, now Jason is in Joe’s guard. Joe gets a triangle locked, and that must hurt, but Jason taps.
JOE RIGGS WINS, TRIANGLE CHOKE TAPOUT!!! (2:01, Rd. 1)
I can’t believe Joe stayed at 170. I can’t believe it. But he looked nice tonight at this weight, so we’ll see. Flue has a fetish with ‘the finger’ or something…
