settle with Felty on his back. The Columbus native tries to stand
but Kuhner takes his back and looks for the rear-naked choke. Felty
goes to his back with Kuhner maintaining the mount position. After
eating some punches, Felty gives his back again and eats more

Round 1
Bowling rushes out and clinches with Thornburg, but as he tries to
sling him to the mat he is reversed. As the fighters scramble,
Thornburg grabs onto a guillotine and Bowling lifts him into the
air and plants him on his back. Bowling moves to side control along
the cage and batters Thornburg with heavy punches. Thornburg is one
tough hombre; he eats a ton of leather as he works his way back to
his feet. He may be too tough for his own good though. Bowling tees
off on his weary and wobbly foe. He lands a big right hand and then
another before sinking him to the ground again. He passes to mount
and then takes his back and nearly sinks a rear-naked choke before
Thornburg turns back into him. Bowling sets back up in side control
and punishes Thornburg right up to the horn. Sherdog.com scores the
round 10-8 for Roger Bowling.
D. Mandel
Bowling outpointed Thornburg.
Round 3
A nice lead left from Bowling sends Thornburg retreating after he
misses on a head kick. Thornburg tries to bring the fight to the
ground again but in the ensuing scramble he loses position after
Bowling sweeps him while defending what looks like an arm-triangle
attempt. Bowling inches him up against the cage then passes from
guard to half. Bowling’s pace has slowed quite a bit but he is
working enough from the top to stave off a standup. Thornburg is
trying to work his guard but is getting smothered. The Ohio crowd
finally cheers when Miragliotta stands the fight back up. Bowling
catches a charging Thornburg with a lead right hand that snaps his
head to the side and then picks him up and slams him hard to the
ground. Thornburg grabs a guillotine in the air but does not have
enough time to finish with only 15 seconds left. Bowling posts up
to give himself room to breath and rides out the round. Sherdog
scores the final frame 10-9 for Bowling.
Official scores: 30-27, 30-27 and 30-27, all in favor of the winner by unanimous decision, Roger Bowling.
Round 1
Ty Wheeler is the referee for the evening’s first televised bout.
Evangelista throws first, but it’s Masvidal who quickly establishes
his crisp left jab. Evangelista goes with outside leg kicks. One is
caught by Masvidal, who drills Evangelista with right hands.
Evangelista falls to his back and eats a few more punches. They
stand and clinch, trading knees along the fence. Evangelista takes
the dominant position and lands more sharp knees before they break
off. Masvidal digs a punch to the body and one to the head, driving
a knee into Evangelista as he’s taken down. From his back, Masvidal
grabs for a guillotine and seems to have something before
Evangelista scoots him into the fence. They scramble up with 90
seconds to go and Evangelista throws a level elbow, then goes back
to knees in the clinch. After a few, Masvidal answers with a nice
knee of his own and moves away. He catches a kick from Evangelista
and nearly trips him down. Evangelista shoots now and Masvidal
sprawls all over it. Another jab from Masvidal has Evangelista
wincing. Evangelista has another takedown attempt stuffed at the
horn.

Round 3
The pace slows in the first minute of the final round, though the
punches that do come are from Evangelista. A low kick grazes
Masvidal, but he shakes it off without a stoppage. Evangelista goes
for a single-leg and Masvidal hops his back into the fence. He
shucks Evangelista and clips him with a standing elbow. Masvidal
times a leg kick perfectly and comes over the top, drilling
Evangelista with a right hand. An equally hard right uppercut finds
its mark and the men clinch, Masvidal shoving Evangelista into the
cage with two minutes to go. They break and Evangelista goes back
to headhunting, with Masvidal seeming content to coast to the
decision. Boos come from the otherwise quiet crowd. Evangelista
keeps coming forward, landing only glancing blows and taking hard
counterpunches when Masvidal does throw. Evangelista turns it on in
the last 30 seconds, landing half a dozen punches and knees, but it
is much too little, too late.

Kennedy (top) took out Manhoef.
Manhoef bucks and rolls at the base of the fence, giving up his back. Kennedy sinks his hooks in and it’s looking bad for Manhoef with two minutes to go. Manhoef is flattened out on his stomach as Kennedy drops bombs, a few of which stray to the back of Manhoef’s head. Kennedy decides to finish it and slips in a rear-naked choke. Manhoef resists briefly, but is trapped and must submit at the 3:41 mark.
Round 1
Greg Franklin draws officiating duties for the first of two title
bouts. The women rush across the cage and come out firing, Coenen
throwing outside leg kicks and Carmouche looking to come over the
top. Coenen stings her challenger with a crisp straight right.
Carmouche shifts along the perimeter, twitching and feinting,
eating punches when she comes forward with missing combinations.
Coenen flicks out a leg kick and just misses with another up high.
Carmouche goes to leg kicks of her own now, but her face is already
showing redness from Coenen’s punches. The “Girl-rilla” muscles
Coenen into the cage, but the champ reverses and scores with a
knee. Carmouche gets the position back and Coenen is now sporting a
mouse under her right eye. The women trade foot stomps inside as
they spin along the fence with over-unders. Referee Franklin splits
them with a minute to go. Coenen kicks high. She eats a nice right
from Carmouche, perhaps the challenger’s best punch of the round.

before the horn.

Round 2
Carmouche is throwing volume punches early and landing more than in
the previous round. She rushes Coenen into the cage, but Coenen
reverses and drives a knee into the off-balance challenger’s face.
They wind up clinching on the fence and Coenen snares a tight
guillotine. It looks like a fight-ender, but Carmouche powers out
and drives Coenen into the ground. Coenen throws her legs up as
Carmouche tries to pound. An armbar nearly catches, but Carmouche
shakes it and lands a couple hard punches to the grounded Coenen.
Carmouche stacks and passes to north-south position, then begins
driving knees into Coenen’s right shoulder. Coenen is pushing off
of Carmouche’s hips with her hands, looking for a sweep. Carmouche
goes to side control and Coenen grabs at a leg. The champ can’t
find space for a leg lock and finds herself fully mounted. Coenen
throws her legs up repeatedly, trying to hook Carmouche’s arms and
peel her off, but it doesn’t work. Carmouche pounds from mount for
the final 30 seconds, but Coenen does well to cover up to the
end.

sinks in a textbook triangle choke. Carmouche is forced to submit
and Coenen gets the come-from-behind win at 1:29 of the fourth
round.

Round 1
Referee Dan Miragliotta is in charge of this light heavyweight
championship main event. Both men stalk and twitch, sizing one
another up with right hands cocked. The only offense in the opening
minute is a chopping leg kick from the champion. Cavalcante misses
with left hooks and lands a leg kick. A right hand glances “Feijao”
and the champ looked worried momentarily. However, he walks
straight forward and plugs Henderson with a clubbing right of his
own. It sends “Hendo” stumbling to the ground, his legs buckling.
Feijao gives chase, but Henderson drives forward and winds up in
the Brazilian’s guard. The action slows such that Miragliotta
stands them up with two minutes to go. They clinch on the fence
with Henderson on the outside. Miragliotta instructs them to work
and the men trade knees inside. They’re split up with seconds to
go, and that’s where the round ends.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-10
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-10
Mike Whitman scores the round 10-9 Cavalcante
Round 2
Henderson comes over the top with a solid right, but misses on the
follow-ups. Cavalcante stuffs a shot and gets pushed into the
fence, where he thuds punches to the back and midsection of his
challenger. Henderson goes to a single-leg and Cavalcante tries to
drive his head down. The champ succeeds in staying up and looks for
a trip of his own, only to have it stuffed and be tossed to the mat
himself. Henderson works from half-guard, trying to pass on
Cavalcante’s right. Feijao grabs the trapped leg of Henderson and
uses it to sweep into guard. Henderson closes up guard while
Cavalcante thumps his body with short punches. Miragliotta wants
them up with just over 90 seconds to go. Cavalcante misses with a
big left high kick, then an ill-intentioned hooking combo.
Henderson lands a pair of Superman punches and trips Feijao to the
ground to finish the frame.

Round 3
Cavalcante lands a low kick and Henderson counters with an overhand
right. Another straight right lands for Hendo, who clinches up, but
Feijao doesn’t stay there long. Henderson ducks in and decks
Cavalcante with a big right hand. The champ falls to his stomach,
smacking his face on the canvas. Henderson jumps onto Cavalcante’s
back, sinks his hooks in and seals the deal with a few more
punches. Miragliotta steps in and waves the contest off 50 seconds
into the third round, making 40-year-old Dan Henderson the new
Strikeforce light heavyweight champion.
