Round 1
Faaloloto lands the first offense with a thudding inside leg kick
and Johnson answers with a punch-kick combo. Both lightweights
throw flurries and it’s Faaloloto backing Johnson up now. They
clinch up and Faaloloto muscles his man into the cage. Johnson
grabs the Thai plum and misses with a knee. He doubles over for a
takedown and eats a few elbows and punches from Faaloloto, but
eventually gets the Hawaiian down. Underhook from Faaloloto gets
him back on his feet and he lands a knee as he stands. Still three
minutes left in what has been a very active opening round so far.
Faaloloto is scoring big with hard kicks to the lead leg of the
southpaw Johnson, who is sneaking the left hand through. Johnson
switches up his stance and has his leg buckled with a kick. He
pushes forward and puts a one-two on Faaloloto, then scores a
takedown and gets to work with bully ground-and-pound. Another Thai
clinch from the bloodied Johnson, and his knees begin finding their
way up the middle. They’re connecting to the solar plexus at first,
but then one finds its way up top. A big right hand sends Faaloloto
crashing to the mat, and he covers up in the fetal position against
the cage as Johnson unloads. Faaloloto is still awake, but not
offering anything in return, and referee Mark Matheny has seen
enough at 4:42 of round one.
Round 1
Grice starts off with leg kicks and single straight punches, but
it’s a Lamas right hand that puts Grice stumbling backwards. Nice
head kick grazes for Lamas, who covers up to avoid a Grice combo
and circles out. Lamas blocks a head kick, throws one to the leg of
Grice, and shoots a single-leg against the fence. Grice defends and
punches away as Lamas continues to dig for the takedown. He gets it
with three minutes left on the clock and controls Grice’s leg at
the base of the cage. Side control for Lamas on Grice’s left side;
Grice’s right side is to the fence, and he tries to wall-walk out
of it. Lamas lets Grice back up and cracks him with a knee on the
way up. Back to trading, Lamas goes back to the leg kicks, one of
which spins Grice around. Grice times a low kick and pops Lamas
over the top. Lamas catches Grice leaning and puts a shin on his
face. Grice wobbles backward into the fence and Lamas assaults him.
Grice stumbles to his feet for a brief second, only to be knocked
back down and rescued by referee Keith Peterson. The stoppage
victory for debuting featherweight Ricardo Lamas comes officially
at 4:41 of round one.
Round 1
Oliveira takes the center of the cage and walks Lentz down with a
punch-leg kick combo. Lentz gets a takedown in the middle of the
Octagon, but Oliveira grabs at a leg and the wrestler immediately
backs out. Lentz eats an upkick and waits a moment before going
back into Oliveira’s guard. The Brazilian grabs for a leg again,
and again Lentz stands and is upkicked. Lentz goes to Oliveira’s
half-guard briefly, backs up and lets him up. Solid knees in the
clinch from Oliveira, then a popping left hook, a leg kick. More
knees up the middle and Oliveira stuffs a takedown and goes over
the top on Lentz. Halfway through the round now, Oliveira and Lentz
connect with right hands at the same time, but it’s Lentz who goes
down. Oliveira pounces and finds a deep anaconda choke, rolls into
full mount, then back underneath. It’s extremely deep, but Lentz
won’t tap. The American waits it out and stands, then slaps on a
guillotine of his own and drops back. This looks to be cinched
tight as well, but Oliveira escapes to the feet and drops Lentz
with a knee. A left hand is followed by another hard knee from
Oliveira, and he tosses Lentz to the floor. After a few punches,
Oliveira finishes a blistering first round in half-guard.
Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Oliveira.
Round 2
Oliveira walks Lentz into the cage and answers a leg kick with a
flying knee. The Brazilian youngster leaps guard, but winds up in a
headlock, in Lentz’s guard. It doesn’t look tight, and Oliveira
flips over the top. Oliveira stands and puts a clearly illegal knee
on the still-kneeling Lentz’s face. Referee Chip Snider doesn’t
acknowledge it, but the crowd does, booing as Oliveira tees off
with punches. Lentz is turtled, in big trouble. Oliveira puts his
hooks in and sinks in a rear-naked choke, forcing the tap from
Lentz at 1:48 of the second round. During the post-fight interview,
UFC commentator Joe Rogan announces that the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Commission will review the fight due to the obvious
foul.
Round 1
Roberts comes straight across the cage at Attonito, throwing up
hard-but-blocked head kicks. Superman punches from “Ninja” miss
their marks, but he puts a knee on Attonito in the clinch. Roberts
appears to consider a takedown, then stands back up straight and
swings away. Roberts slips on a kick and finds himself moving
backward, with Attonito stalking forward and measuring the range
with a pawing left. Single-leg from Roberts is easily shut down by
Attonito, but Roberts follows up with a Superman punch. The
welterweights trade knees in the clinch, then split, and it’s still
Attonito coming forward. He catches Roberts ducking low with a
punch and a headlock, but quickly lets him go. Attonito puts
Roberts on the fence, can’t get him down with a single-leg, and
goes back to stalking. Leaping knees from Roberts land, though his
follow-up shot is sprawled on by the American Top Team fighter.
Attonito spins and tries to take Robert’s back, winds up in side
control, then half-guard. Mashing right hands down the stretch from
Attonito, who finishes the round standing above Roberts.
Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Attonito.
Round 2
Roberts quickly gets inside for a takedown and then takes the back
of Attonito standing. Ninja falls back with hooks in place and
works to put his right arm under the throat of Attonito with more
than four minutes remaining in the round. Attonito is defending
well, but is trapped at the base of the fence and doesn’t look to
be going anywhere. Attonito does twist and turn into Roberts,
though, and finds himself in Roberts’ half-guard, framing up an
arm-triangle choke. Attonito is forced to relinquish the hold when
Roberts goes for a leg, but the “Raging Bull” keeps Roberts down
and slugs with punches from guard. Right hands to the ribs and face
of Roberts land flush, and the Cesar Gracie pupil isn’t offering
anything in return. Attonito lands a few dozen punches in the final
minute, and a particularly nasty flurry to finish off the horn.
Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Attonito.
Round 3
Both men throw kicks in the early going of the final round, but
Attonito is clearly the much fresher fighter. His right hands and
outside leg kicks come hard and fast, while Roberts lobs out tired
strikes, turning his back and ducking away as Attonito unloads
against the fence. Attonito comes forward, catches his man ducking
and plants his right shin directly on Roberts’ temple. Roberts
slowly crumples to the mat and Attonito pounces, unloading with
punches, but it’s not enough to get a stop from referee Keith
Peterson. Roberts survives and rolls for a leg, causing Attonito to
back out. Roberts gets to his feet, but he looks completely wiped.
Nonetheless, he tries to shoot and strike, but Attonito is shutting
everything down. The ATT fighter sprawls on a shot with about 80
seconds to go and socks Roberts a few time before diving into his
guard. Attonito backs away and Roberts tries to sneak up, but
Attonito catches him and zaps him with a knee. A pair of hard right
hands put Roberts on even more rubbery legs, but he still finds the
energy to leap forward with a knee. Roberts ties up and finishes
the round on his back, Attonito in his guard. Sherdog.com scores
the round 10-9 Attonito, and the fight 30-27 Attonito.
Official scores: With scores of 29-27, 30-27 and 29-28, the judges award the unanimous decision to Rich Attonito.
Round 1
Referee Chip Snider, who officiated the Oliveira-Lentz bout earlier
this evening, is booed by the Pittsburgh crowd as he’s introduced.
The lightweights get started and Warburton circles Lauzon, landing
left hooks and right straights. Lauzon can’t seem to find his
range, but then zaps Warburton with a hard right-left hook combo.
The Massachusetts native gives chase and stacks Warburton on the
fence. After a few punches, Lauzon decides to wrench a kimura on
Warburton’s right arm. Lauzon falls back and throws up a triangle
for good measure. His arm twisted grotesquely, Warburton is forced
to submit at 1:58 of the opening frame.
Round 1
Stevenson rushes to the center of the canvas, but stops abruptly
there. Vazquez drives forward and puts Stevenson on his back, and
Stevenson grabs onto Vazquez’s left arm. It’s an inverted armbar
attempt from Stevenson, who puts the limb over his right shoulder
and waits. Vazquez sits patiently and extracts his arm, then
instantly spins for an armbar. It’s an aborted attempt and Vazquez
instead settles for half-guard. Vazquez tries to extract his left
leg and hop to mount, popping Stevenson with a few short punches,
but referee Keith Peterson issues a stand-up order halfway through
the round. Vazquez socks Stevenson with a straight left and slips
inside for a single-leg, but can’t find it. The BJJ specialist
misses over the top with a left and spins Stevenson down with a
single-leg this time. Back to the same half-guard position, Vazquez
puts short punches on Stevenson’s head and ribs in the last minute.
Stevenson gives a look of frustration at the peppering shots just
before the horn. Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Vazquez.
Round 2
The jab of Vazquez is keeping a grimacing Stevenson at range in the
opening minute, leaving “Joe Daddy” unable to land. The straight
rights are occasionally followed by left hooks from Vazquez. With
three minutes on the clock, Stevenson rushes forward and shoots on
Vazquez, who instantly locks up a tight guillotine. Vazquez jumps
guard and the choke looks serious, but Stevenson manages to slip
his way out. Underhooks for Stevenson yield no takedown, instead
allowing Vazquez to toss him down. Vazquez punches, leaves a little
space, and spins onto Stevenson’s back as he tries to escape.
Stevenson dodges a rear-naked choke attempt and twists free,
reversing the position on the fence and then standing back up.
Stevenson is smiling as the tiring Vazquez whiffs on punches in the
closing seconds, but Stevenson misses on a big overhand left
himself. Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Vazquez.
Round 3
As Vazquez tries to reestablish his jab, Stevenson comes alive with
some sharp punches and leg kicks. Stevenson has more energy and is
pushing forward, but isn’t putting any volume of punches on
Vazquez, who’s still scoring with counterpunches. Jab-jab-cross
combo from Vazquez as he circles out. Stevenson responds with a
chopping leg kick. Vazquez suddenly looks on the verge of falling
over from exhaustion; Stevenson backs him into the fence, but can’t
score with a knee. Another leg kick lands for Stevenson, and a
hard, short left. Stevenson grabs Vazquez’s head with a minute to
go and drives a knee up the middle. Mouth hanging open, Vazquez
continues to plant right hands on Stevenson as Stevenson comes
forward, egging him on. Vazquez puts one last left hand on
Stevenson as the horn sounds. Stevenson jogs around the cage while
Vazquez, the likely winner, puts his hands on his knees.
Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Vazquez, and the fight 30-27
Vazquez.
Official scores: The judges see it 30-27, 29-28 and 30-27 in favor of the winner by unanimous decision, Javier Vazquez.
Round 1
Both men come swinging over the top, but Griffin lands first with a
leg kick. After a minute of circling and feinting, referee Chip
Snider tells the featherweights to get busy. Griffin lands another
outside thigh kick, then comes forward with punches and is taken
down by Gamburyan, who runs his man into the fence. Gamburyan tries
to punch, but can’t find much space. He grabs a loose guillotine as
Griffin scrambles to his feet. Gamburyan releases the hold after a
minute, but then hurls Griffin to the canvas and leaps onto his
back. The “Anvil” slugs away from the back of the standing Griffin,
who soon shucks him off. Gamburyan gets underhooks on the fence,
can’t spin Griffin down and goes on the defensive against a Griffin
takedown. Gamburyan grabs another headlock to stifle it and dodges
a lunging punch from Griffin at the end of the round. Sherdog.com
scores the round 10-9 Gamburyan.
Round 2
Gamburyan ducks low and changes stances on Griffin, then tries a
front kick. He socks Griffin with a hard combo, backs out and
dances a bit. Gamburyan eats three or four hard leg kicks as he
circles the outside, then stays upright on a Griffin shot. He
catches a Griffin kick and tries to get inside for the takedown,
and Griffin sprawls all over it. The next time, Gamburyan catches a
right kick and pops Griffin with a right hand. Griffin steps inside
with a high knee and a punch, but his leg connects with Gamburyan’s
cup. Gamburyan doesn’t need much time to recover and they resume on
the feet with about 90 seconds left. Gamburyan’s left thigh is
bright red from Griffin’s kick attack, and the wrestler puts a few
more on in the last minute. Just after the 10-second clapper, a
left inside thigh kick from Griffin lands square on Gamburyan’s
cup. They pause briefly and then finish the round uneventfully.
Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Griffin.
Round 3
Gamburyan comes out winging punches and lands a right leg kick of
his own, but gets stuffed on a takedown. Griffin puts a hard left
hook in Gamburyan’s breadbasket and snuffs a takedown attempt,
putting Gamburyan’s back to the fence. Griffin has a single-leg as
Gamburyan leans over the top, framing up a kimura. Neither man
succeeds; rather, they split and Gamburyan gets Griffin down
against the cage in the pursuit. Griffin stands, but Gamburyan
takes him for a ride back down, nearly taking his back. Griffin
sneaks out and instead tries to take Gamburyan’s back, only
managing a few punches before Gamburyan scrambles to his feet. With
under two minutes to go, they clinch on the fence with over-unders,
Gamburyan landing knees up the middle. Gamburyan eats a leg kick,
catches the next one and ties up with Griffin again. Gamburyan
tries to turn the corner for a takedown, but Griffin sprawls.
Griffin grabs at a guillotine in the last few seconds; there’s
nothing there and he’s instead taken down by Gamburyan. Both men
circle the cage with their arms raised at the end. Sherdog.com
scores the round 10-9 Griffin, and the fight 29-28 Griffin.
Official scores: Despite the initial announcement of a “unanimous” decision with two 29-28 and one 29-29 score, MMAJunkie.com reports that all three judges scorecards were in fact 29-28 for Tyson Griffin.
Round 1
Morecraft walks to the center of the cage after Mitrione enters and
the two go face-to-face in an unauthorized staredown, prompting
referee Mark Matheny to step between them. There’s no glove-touch
when the action begins, but when Mitrione catches Morecraft low
with a kick 40 seconds in, they slap hands. Mitrione goes inside
with a thigh kick and then puts Morecraft on his posterior with a
left straight. Mitrione lets Morecraft back up to his feet and
matadors as he comes forward. Mitrione’s inside thigh kicks are
answered by Morecraft, but Morecraft just can’t hit the mark with
his punches. Mitrione is slipping almost every bit of offense from
Morecraft up top, popping him with left hands as he does. Morecraft
takes an awkward punch to the neck and looks toward referee Matheny
for a pause. None comes, and Mitrione socks him with a left hand,
then a right that puts him down. Morecraft looks to be out, but he
recovers and gets on top while Mitrione looks toward the ref.
Morecraft survives to the horn on top, but has his mouthguard
knocked out by a burst of punches from Mitrione. Sherdog.com scores
the round 10-9 Mitrione.
Round 2
Mitrione goes right back into his rhythm from the last round,
dodging punches from Morecraft while leg-kicking and sniping with
big shots up top. He grins when Morecraft’s punches miss, but
Morecraft then connects with a few solid inside leg kicks. They
don’t wipe the smile off of Mitrione’s face, but the subsequent
double-leg into the fence does. Mitrione tries to stand back up at
the midway point in the fight, Morecraft still attached to his
waist. Back to his feet goes “Meathead,” but he’s soon dumped back
down by Morecraft with a waistlock. Mitrione looks to be breathing
heavy from the bottom as Morecraft tries to posture up in his full
guard. Morecraft isn’t there long before referee Matheny stands
them back up with 70 ticks left on the clock. Mitrione gets a few
punches off and sidesteps a far-out takedown attempt from
Morecraft, whose momentum sends him falling to the floor. Morecraft
stands back up and eats a three-punch combo from Mitrione. This
time, he’s not getting back up. It’s a dominant performance and a
heavy knockout from Matt Mitrione at 4:28 of the second round.
Round 1
Referee Dan Miragliotta makes his first appearance of the evening
in this welterweight tilt. The muay Thai specialist Howard comes
out firing hard leg kicks before the pair tie up and stall out
along the fence. Brown shoves off and has a high kick blocked. The
next kick to the body is caught by Howard, who tries for a
takedown, but ends up beneath Brown in the scramble. More outside
leg kicks from Howard, and Brown gets through with a combo and a
glancing high kick. Again, Howard catches a kick and drives Brown
into the cage with a high single-leg. The Boston native gets “The
Immortal” down for a second, but Brown pops right back up. Brown
lands a knee in the clinch, catches a low kick from Howard and
trips him to the floor. Howard is stunned and Brown tries to give
chase with a brabo choke. He lets it go and the pair stand along
the fence, where Howard dumps Brown onto his back. Howard’s in side
control and Brown uses his legs to create momentum and turtle, then
stand. Howard hits another throw, but again Brown is right back up,
and Brown finishes a close first round strong with a string of
combinations. Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Brown.
Round 2
Howard is back to the single-leg attempt in the first 30 seconds of
the round. Brown stuffs it, but then gets stuffed on a takedown try
of his own. Now the pace slows as Howard clings to Brown’s left leg
on the cage. Brown punches to the head and ribs, then looks toward
his corner before trying a guillotine. It’s abandoned quickly and
the 170-pounders split. Brown hits a knee to the body of Howard and
trips him to the floor, landing in the half-guard of “Doomsday.”
Two minutes to go in the second and Howard and looking exhausted as
he tries to defend the guard pass in the center of the cage. Not
much offense coming from either man, just grappling for position as
the second round enters its last minute. Howard looks to secure an
arm, then a leg, prompting Brown to back out and Howard to wind up
on top. Brown has an omoplata, though, and isolates Howard’s left
arm, throwing a few short punches as the round ends. Sherdog.com
scores the round 10-9 Brown.
Round 3
Howard lands a pair of leg kicks and gives chase as Brown circles
the perimeter. Brown shoots in and puts Howard down against a
cagepost, grabbing an ankle. Howard gets the leg loose and stands,
looking for a guillotine with Brown still on his knees. Instead,
Howard dips around and attempts to take Brown’s back, but Brown is
tangling up his wrists. Howard goes to the front and lifts Brown
into the air with a single, but the slam doesn’t come. The sequence
repeats and Brown again stays vertical, then drills Howard with
punches. Howard turns his back and runs to create space; Brown
chases him down to the other side of the cave. Howard tries a
single-leg, then a bodylock and eventually tosses Brown to the
floor. Brown has half-guard and is working on the left arm of
Howard, then abandons that and throws elbows from guard. Howard
tries a kimura from half-guard as the round and the fight expire.
Sherdog.com scores the final round 10-9 Howard, but the fight 29-28
Brown.
Official scores: All three judges see it 29-28 in favor of the winner by unanimous decision, Matt Brown.
Round 1
Mark Matheny is the third man in the cage for this short-notice
co-main event. Brenneman comes right in and ties up, but gets
tossed down by Story. Quickly back up is Brenneman, who sprints
away from another Story takedown. Story catches Brenneman coming
inside with a knee to the chest. Brenneman follows through and puts
Story’s back on the cage. Story reverses and the welterweights
trade knees inside. Story can’t find a takedown, backs out and
stuffs a single-leg from Brenneman. The “Spaniard” is tenacious,
though, and drags Story down, if only for a moment. Story walks
Brenneman down, misses with a three-piece and gets taken down.
Brenneman lands on top in half-guard, trying to extract his left
leg. He does, and the AMA Fight Club product ties up the head and
arm of Story as ref Matheny calls for activity. Punches to the body
by Brenneman are answered by elbows from Story, but Brenneman is
putting forth the greater volume. Brenneman shoulder-shrugs Story,
who is tying up and looking for a restart while Brenneman pounds
away at his ribs on the left side. Story throws up his legs, tries
to squirm free in the last 20 seconds, but Brenneman stays on top.
Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Brenneman.
Round 2
Brenneman hits another takedown in the center of the cage in the
first 20 seconds. He’s in half-guard, but Story sits up and finds a
guillotine under his left arm. The Brave Legion fighter leans back
and Brenneman walks to north-south position, escaping danger. Back
to the feet they go, where Brenneman blocks a lunging knee from
Story. Behind a missed punch, Brenneman drives forward and puts
Story on his back once again. Story pulls rubber guard, then back
to full. He digs his heel into the backside of Brenneman, whose
offense is more sporadic from the top now. Brenneman avoids a
right-armed guillotine from Story by passing to the left side, but
Story doesn’t let it go. The round finishes with Brenneman on top
again. Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Brenneman.
Round 3
It’s another takedown for Brenneman. This time, however, Story
latches on to the Spaniard’s left arm, his legs on either side of
Brenneman’s head, working for a kimura. Brenneman stays calm and
kneels, and referee Matheny issues a puzzling stand-up call while
Story is still trying for the submission. Brenneman spins Story
down with a single-leg, and they’re right back into the same
position. Story locks in a triangle on top, can’t close it and
Brenneman nearly escapes. As he goes to his back, Story nearly
closes the triangle, but Brenneman goes to his knees again. Story
pulls his foot under his knee, but both men are tired and sweaty,
and he can’t finish the submission. Story winds up in full mount on
the scramble and shrugs Brenneman’s head into the canvas repeatedly
while Brenneman hugs to control Story’s posture. Story postures up
and Brenneman slips out the backdoor with 30 seconds to go. Story
tries another kimura from his back as time expires. Sherdog.com
scores the round 10-9 Story, but the bout 29-28 Brenneman.
Official scores: All three judges score it 29-28 in favor of the winner by unanimous decision, Charlie Brenneman.
Round 1
Kongo flicks out a leg kick and Barry tries to come over the top
with a right hand. Barry shoots on the much larger Frenchman and
turns back out. Kongo keeps Barry at bay with push kicks and whips
a few for damage to the outside of Barry’s left thigh. Left
straight from Kongo splits the guard of Barry, who keeps coming
forward and takes a few more leg kicks. Kongo’s back is scraping
the fence as he circles away from Barry. A massive overhand right
from Barry lands on Kongo’s temple and Kongo shoots in desperation
as Barry swarms. Miragliotta nearly steps in to call the fight, but
thinks better of it. Kongo stands, falls backward, still totally
dazed, but Barry can’t finish him. Barry marches forward and Kongo
puts a right hand on him. The follow-up right uppercut from Kongo
turns out Barry’s lights instantly. Kongo pounds away, but Barry is
already out cold, eyes wide open. The official time of the brutal
finish is 2:39 of the first round.
