UFC 132 Results: George Sotiropoulos vs Rafael Dos Anjos Results and Aftermath

Sotiropoulos vs Dos Anjos had all of the makings for a grappling war, but this fight is the one that you do not need to blink. If you did then odds are you miss the beautiful knockout Dos Anjos scored. This fight was expected to be the fight to put Sotiropoulos back in the title hunt, but at the end of the day it boosted Dos Anjos’ stock and put Sotiropoulos in an interesting situation.

There are many fights that could now take place, and a good on for Dos Anjos would be the winner of the Denis Siver vs Matt Wiman fight, while Sotiropoulos could fight the likes of Anthony Njokuani or Anthony Pettis.

This was a solid upset and will really have the potential for interesting match ups. Both men have an excellent ground game, with Dos Anjos having the superior striking, which will benefit for future match ups.

After the fight, Sotiropoulos exited the cage pretty fast and headed to the back as you could see the obvious disappointment on his face, while Dos Anjos and his camp appeared extremely happy as they celebrated loudly on their way to the back. Great early start to the night, this should be sign for even more great fights to come, because this whole card up to now has been nothing less than impressive.

This fight is now the early front runner for knock out of the night, will anyone top this? Stay tuned to find out.

UFC 132 Results: Tito Ortiz Submits Ryan Bader to Snap Five-Fight Losing Streak

One of the most anticipated bouts at UFC 132 saw Tito Ortiz pick up one of the biggest victories of his career, after he defeated light heavyweight prospect, Ryan Bader.

Both men came out and began to feel each other out, trading leg kicks in the process. Ortiz and Bader continued to circle. Then Ortiz stepped inside and landed a right hook that knocked down Bader. Ortiz continued his assault on his opponent shortly after, and applied an arm-in guillotine choke to submit Bader within two minutes of the opening round.

What’s next for Tito Ortiz? –

The win for “The Huntington Beach Boy” ended a five-fight winless streak, which has allowed Ortiz some breathing room for the moment and remain in the UFC. Since 2006, Ortiz has remained competitive throughout his losing skid, fighting some of the top fighters in the world such as Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida. The win not only earned Ortiz a victory over a top fighter, but a chance to maintain some drawing power, as it could lead to a bout against respected veteran like Vladimir Matyushenko or the winner of Rich Franklin and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

What’s next for Ryan Bader? –

After suffering his second consecutive loss, Bader will likely remain out of action for the rest of the year. Bader’s time away will give him a chance to redefine his overall gameplan and evolve as a fighter. While a return to the Octagon before the end of the 2011 is a bit premature, Bader will need to re-solidify his status among the light heavyweight division if he intends to stay in contention. A bout against up and coming fighter, Alexander Gustafsson is possible, or a facing fellow wrestler Matt Hamill is also likely.

UFC 132 Results: Dominick Cruz Defeats Urijah Faber

UFC 132 takes place on Saturday, July 2 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The main event features the first UFC bantamweight title fight ever as Dominick Cruz defends his title against the only fighter to ever defeat him, Urijah Faber.

The two fighters have admitted that they do not like each other in the least and a win will surely give one of them ammunition to continue the battle they have waged since first meeting in 2007, a fight that Faber won via first round submission.

Cruz opened things up by connecting with two punches. Faber then worked a takedown that was defended ably by Cruz.

Cruz landed some heavy leg kicks much like Jose Aldo did when he defeated Faber.

The second round began with Cruz again coming out fast and with his hands low, confident that his speed could negate anything that Faber could bring.

WIth 30 seconds left in the round Cruz scored a brief takedown. WIth ten seconds left in the round Cruz scored with a nice combination.

As the third round began it looked as if Faber was struggling to deal with the awkward style of Cruz.

With 2:10 left in the round Faber took Cruz down, but Cruz reversed and Faber was able to get back to his feet quickly.

Cruz opened the fourth coming right out and landing a strike to Faber. Faber dropped Cruz with a big right, but he was able to get right back to his feet.

Cruz started to slow his pace as the round progressed.

AS the final round started Cruz came out with a flying knee. Cruz then went into the clinch forcing Faber to hold his weight against the cage.

Cruz landed a few short takedowns, but he was unable to secure any for a prolonged period of time.

The fight goes to the cards:50-45, 49-46, 48-47 to Cruz

UFC 132 Results: Dennis Siver Defeats Matt Wiman

UFC 132 Results: Dennis Siver Defeats Matt WimanUFC 132 takes place on Saturday, July 2 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The main event features the first UFC bantamweight title fight…

UFC 132 Results: Dennis Siver Defeats Matt Wiman

The co-main event features the long awaited return of Wanderlei Silva, who faces Chris Leben. Also appearing on the main card was Tito Ortiz who faces Ryan Bader.

The third fight on the main card featured Dennis Siver (18-7) against Matt WIman (13-5).

Siver came into the fight after defeating the highly ranked George Sotiropoulos in his last bought, while Wiman was coming off a win over Cole Miller.

Early on these two looked like they were only interested in ending the fight by KO, but Wiman mixed it up about 2:00 in when he landed a brief takedown. Siver’s takedown defense was solid and he kept Wiman at bay.

In the second round the fight went to the ground with Wiman working inside the guard of Siver, opening him up with an elbow.

Siver did a very poor job of controlling Wiman and Siver was bleeding badly from the elbows that Wiman seemed to be landing at will.

The third round was uneventful until Wiman attempted a choke that he could not stick and he then caught a leg from Siver and took the fight to the ground.

Siver was able to stand and he put Wiman to the ground with a leg kick with 15 seconds left, but he could not make anything happen as the horn souned.

This one went to the cards: 29-28 to Siver. WIman ripped his hand from the referee’s grasp, threw his hat and stormed from the cage as the fans booed the call.

UFC 132 Fight Card Features the Return of Wanderlei Silva

UFC 132 features the long awaited return of the Wanderlei Silva. It has been over a year since Silva has taken to the octagon, and he is set to return Saturday night vs. Chris Leben.

Silva is one of the sports all-time greats and most accomplished fighters. He dominated Pride’s middleweight (205lbs) division before switching to the UFC. Silva switched as he seemed to be falling off of his game.

He ended his Pride career with knockout losses to Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and Dan Henderson. He then started his UFC career with knockout losses to Chuck Liddell and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Silva is hoping the time away did him some good, and he is expecting to put on a good show against Leber. Here is Silva as quoted from an interview on ESPN:

It’s a really good fight for the fans. After I saw his fight with [Yoshihiro] Akiyama, his style was like my style. He’s one exciting fighter. He’s a warrior and has good heart. He doesn’t give a step back. In that fight, it’s good to look at who’s going to be the first to step back.

Part of the reason Silva is optimistic because, after a break, he has been training under Master [Rafael] Cordeiro again. Here is Silva on the subject from the above linked article:

Finally man. I’m an old style student. I need a master. I can’t have just a coach. I need a master.

The difference … the guy knows all about me. He knows my movements. He looks at you training and he knows. “You need to do that. You move that leg here. … ” He knows all. We started working in the gym sparring and he said do this, do this, do this. It’s a different connection.

Saturday night we will all find out if that switch can help him recapture the magic, or if father time has permanently stripped him this legendary fighter of his greatness.
