I can honestly say that I was a little disappointed with last nights "UFC 118: Edgar vs. Penn II" event from the TD Garden in Boston, Mass. After two unexpectedly great cards, UFC 116 and 117, I had some great hopes for this event. With a total of ZERO knockouts on the whole card and five fights going to unanimous decision it felt a bit drawn out overall. Joe Lauzon's performance was phenomenal against Gabe Ruediger, I was just blown away at how ... Read More

Bellator Fighting Championships latest event, Bellator 26, is already underway in Kansas City, Miss. with three tournament bouts on the Fox Sports Network televised card. Sadly I don't get the Fox Sports Network so I am forced to find other means of viewing the televised card. I enjoy Bellator's work at establishing a mid-level promotion that put's on some good shows. Anyway, here are the full quick results for Bellator 26. Tournament bouts Heavyweight bout: Alexey Oleinik def. Mike Hayes via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) Bantamweight bout: ... Read More

Also taking place late last night was WVR's Sengoku Raiden Championship 14 event in Tokyo, Japan. Being just a little bit to late to stay up and watch from the beginning it was better to just get up early to watch the main card fights. Middleweight champ Jorge Santiago earned a come from behind victory over Kazuo Misaki in the fifth, to defeat the Japanese fighter for a second time as well as keep his title. He put a beating down so bad ... Read More

Well practically the whole event went exactly the opposite of how I pictured it. There were some great fights though, so don't get me wrong. Seeing "Jacare" and Kennedy battle it out for five rounds was definitely worth watching. Sadly the King was dethroned after Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante earned a TKO win over "King Mo" in the third. Sadly I was unable to provide live updates as I was out of town. If you somehow missed the full results of the show ... Read More

Tonight's Bellator 25 event went down at the Chicago Theatre in Chicago, Ill. The Fox Sports Network live broadcast featured four bouts with two heavyweight tournament, one women's 115 pound, and a welterweight main event bout between Dan Hornbuckle vs. Brad Blackburn. The show was alright but it felt long as all four bouts went to a unanimous decision. I was very disappointed that Shonie Carter's fight against Torrance Taylor wasn't going to make the live broadcast. "Mr. International" is a pretty ... Read More

Well I guess that means that Dominick Cruz truly is a champion now that he's successfully defended his WEC Bantamweight title. Cruz defeated Joseph Benavidez in a rematch of their WEC 42 fight August 2009, winning a five round battle that had judges scoring a unanimous decision in his favor. Also of note, was the "Hometown Takedown Contest" which allowed fans to pick one of 30 cities to send the WEC to in December. Fans voted in the city of Phoenix, ... Read More
