Round 1
A decent, if not great showing as we start the first preliminary of
the evening. The men touch gloves and both fighters exchange leg
kicks. The Pellegrino MMA-trained Roddy looks to be the aggressor
of the two in the early going going after McLean. Roddy misses on a
right hook but follows up with a one-two that only does a little
damage. McLean is doing very little to start this opening round.
Roddy comes in for a combination and McLean counters, but again
with very little punches on either side. A whole lot of nothing
from this opening round as McLean seems to be struggling with
Roddy's range. Roddy moves in on McLean, allowing McLean to connect
with a one-two. Very little of significance in this opening round
until a very late takedown by McLean puts Roddy into the fence. It
could be enough to give McLean the round, but Sherdog.com scores it
10-10.
Round 2
Dave Mandel
McLean (right) vs. Roddy
Round 3
McLean tries to come in on Roddy to start the round and catches a
right hook for his troubles. A takedown scores for McLean about a
minute into the round, but little comes from it as Roddy gets back
up. Roddy tries to turn the tables on McLean, and after a less than
stellar looking takedown attempt gets McLean on his back up against
the cage and in mount. McLean tries to maneuver his way into a
better position underneath Roddy but the longer Roddy takes
McLean's back with 90 seconds left to go in the round. McLean is
trying to turn into Roddy while fighting off the rear-naked choke
attempt and a body triangle. With less than 30 seconds to go McLean
manages to turn all the way into Roddy but has to fight off an
armbar attempt as the round closes. Sherdog.com scores the third
round in favor of Roddy 10-9.
Official scores: 29-28 (twice) and 28-29 in favor of McLean, who takes the split decision.

the mat. Gracie pins him against the fence sitting and traps both
of Salgado’s legs in a triangle. Salgado grabs for a guillotine,
but Gracie hops into mount and tries to pin down Salgado’s left
arm. Salgado gets the limb free, but Gracie is fully mounted and
trying to flatten his man out with three minutes still to go. Body
punches from the top, then Gracie postures up for a few to the
face. Salgado spins out from the cage and slips loose, but Gracie
gets right on his back. Salgado turns over and Gracie sinks in a
deep arm-triangle choke. Salgado appears to consider tapping just
before he goes unconscious. Ref Mulhall immediately steps in for

Stevens’ guard, raining down punches. Stevens throws up a triangle
attempt which Cholish easily slips free of. From half-guard,
Cholish scoots Stevens from the middle of the cage to the base of
the fence. Cholish is posturing up and punching, but not keeping
busy enough for ref Mulhall, who issues a confusing standup order.

to the body. Stevens goes for a takedown, doesn’t get it, but does
take Cholish’s back standing. Cholish rolls under, grabs the right
leg of Stevens and wrenches it back. Stevens grimaces in pain and

time, he can’t get Del Rosario down, but does pop him with a knee
in the clinch and a punch to the body. Del Rosario clinches up now,
drilling hard hooks to the ribs of Johnson. They split and Johnson
comes forward throwing shots. Del Rosario slips them and takes
Johnson down, then jumps into mount. Del Rosario has full mount in

from the center. Jabs landing for Arlovski now, and a quick
one-two. Kharitonov ties up and tries to dirty-box, but Arlovski

Arlovski against the fence, where Sergei drops him with a looping
right. Kharitonov shucks the legs and wails away from side control.

rear-naked choke before Fedor twists around again. More punches
from Silva on top and Fedor turns over again. With Fedor again on
his back, Silva pins Emelianenko down and lands hard shots, further
bloodying Fedor. Miragliotta is taking a close look, but Fedor is
dodging punches from mount. Still, the situation looks dire as

tight-looking arm-triangle choke, but Emelianenko will not tap.
After a few tense moments, Silva relents and winds up back in
Emelianenko’s half-guard. Still 90 seconds left on the clock and

his own. Silva wags his finger and that’s where the round ends.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-8 Silva
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-8 Silva
Mike Whitman scores the round 10-8 Silva
Emelianenko’s right eye is grotesquely swollen shut and referee Dan Miragliotta waves the contest off in between rounds two and three on the advice of the cageside doctor. Silva’s corner doesn’t seem immediately aware of the decision and continues prepping for the third period. When they find out, the Brazilian team reacts with joy before Silva walks over and bows in front of Emelianenko.
