UFC heavyweight Chris Tuchscherer suffered a bad cut over his left eye in the first round of his UFC 127 prelim bout with Mark Hunt last night.

Immediately after the cut was opened up the referee halted the fight and called for the cageside phsyician. Tuchscherer complained that there was something in his eye, it was the flap of skin that had been opened up from a glancing left from Hunt. It appeared as if the doctor would stop the fight but Tuchscherer begged him for a chance to keep fighting and was granted a reprieve.

The round would end with Tuchscherer on top of Hunt, in side control, looking for a submission similar to the one Sean McCorkle used to break Hunt’s arm back at UFC 119.

Despite finishing the round well Hunt would be the one to finish the fight, landing some heavy punches early in the second round wobbling his opponent. One big right from Hunt collapsed Tuchscherer to his knees, and the “Super Samoan” simply walked away knowing that was the end of the fight instead of jumping in for the finish.

OPENING CEREMONY

It appears that the next set of quarterfinal bouts for the Strikeforce Heavyweight World Grand Prix tournament have been put on hold for right now. At last report matches between tournament fighters Alistair Overeem vs. Fabricio Werdum and Josh Barnett vs. Brett Rogers were to have taken place at an upcoming April 9th event outside of the States, possibly in Japan.

Now Sherdog.com is reporting that Strikeforce has put the tournament heavyweights on hold as the promotion has decided to host the April 9th event in California, where tourny participant Barnett is still undergoing legal proceedings to have his license reinstated.

The website noted a couple of different matchups that could possibly be booked for the event.

A fight between Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez and Japanese slugger Tatsuya Kawajiri is expected to comprise one of the top two spots on the bill, while welterweight champion Nick Diaz is expected to fill the other slot against a yet-to-be-named opponent.

Possible opponents for Diaz include Paul Daley, who will earn a title shot if he defeats Yuya Shirai at a BAMMA 5 event this weekend, and Tyron Woodley. Woodley is fresh off a win over Tarec Saffiedine at a Strikeforce Challengers 13 event in January.
