Masio Fullen vs. Alexander Torres
Round 1: Herb Dean is the ref to kick off UFC 184 in Los Angeles. They touch them up, and Torres runs right into a big shot and that staggers him. Fullen peddles around and looking to set up. He gets hit with a leg kick. Clinch in the middle, and Torres with a parting shot. Fullen comes in with a combo, and throws a high kick which doesn’t land flush. Torres so far not able to get close to take the thing own to the ground. Now Torres lands a huge shot that backs Fullen up! Big shot, and now Torres is rolling forward winging bombs. He’s trying to put Fullen away, but so far Fullen is surviving — and now he lands a good straight punch. What a sequence. Now Torres lulls back to center and resets, maybe a little fatigued after the onslaught. Now Fullen looks recovered, and he moves in with a combo and lights up Torres with a a couple of solid punches and a kick. Fullen gets caught with a shot as he peels away, and he is on skaes! Big shot again. Once again Torres is moving forward to try to set up the endnotes, but he gets taken down by the hurt Fullen. What a round. Now Fullen is the one working the ground and pound, and he is landing from Torres’ guard. He postures and stands up, and now both men do. Spinning high kick from Fullen glances on Torres’ head, and he lunges forward with counters. Crazy round. Wow. MMA Fighting scores R1 for Torres, 10-9.
Round 2: Fullen quickly to center, and Torres with the clinch. He rolls Fullen to the fence, and has underhooks. He’s trying to maneuver things to the ground, but so far Fullen isn’t budging. Torres sneaking the occasional short punch through on the fence, as he toils. Fullen hitting at the body, working the kidney area, but not much behind the blows. On the break, Torres lands a nice elbow. Back to center. Fullen comes forward with a flying knee, nothing doing. Torres slips away from a punch and clinches. They are back on the fence, with Torres posting his weight on Fullen, trying to spin him to the ground — can’t do it. Torres again with a parting shot as they break. Good fight. Tactical change here for Torres in the second, who this time shoots for a double-leg, but Fullen thwarts. Great right hand counter from Fullen. Torres ate that one. This time Fullen ties up Torres and they waltz to the fence, where Fullen lands a couple of in-close shots before the break. High kick from Fullen. Torres rocking back on his heels a bit and huffing some air. Fullen is the aggressor here late in the second. High kick, doesn’t land from Fullen. Uppercut from Fullen, but Torres moves out of the way. Torres lands a nice shot there, just to let Fullen know he’s still there. But the end of the round sees Fullen come forward with a barrage on the fence. MMA Fighting scores R2 for Fullen, 10-9 (19-19 overall)
