In my opinion, Pat Barry played the friendship tip too much in this fight. There was loads of respect given prefight and high fives annd hugs ensued during the fight after good exchanges.

It started out with Pat Barry really crushing CroCop with a few leg kicks and an excellent right hook that knocked CroCop down and Barry didn’t follow up.

Barry won this round.

In the second round, Barry danced more taking the round off, while CroCop landed an axe kick of all things, as well as throwing 2 of his “cemetery” leg kicks that were blocked. Mirko got a takedown.

Mirko probably won this round on activity alone as Barry didn’t do much.

In the third round, Mirko was swinging with punches mostly, while Barry was winded, threw a few really weak leg kicks. Other than that, he didn’t do anything else for the rest of the round. Mirko took him down, Barry got up. Mirko dropped a very nice combination on Barry’s head that backed him up and crumpled him a little bit. Mirko took him down from there and eventually cinched a rear naked choke that most fighters would have been able to defend.

Barry needs to work on his conditioning big time and I think this was a fight he could’ve won easily had he focused.

Chuck Liddell, the biggest star the UFC has ever had, returned to the Octagon Saturday night at the age of 40 after more than a year away. It did not go well.

At the end of an action-packed first round, his opponent, Rich Franklin, landed a hard right hand that knocked Liddell cold, ending the main event at UFC 115 and likely ending Liddell’s career.

Martin Kampmann Dominates Paulo Thiago

Paulo Thiago was pretty much dominated in every round on the feet and on the ground, where Kampmann was able to get mount several times, many choke attempts including his favorite head and arm/arm triangle choke as well as a plethora of guillotines.

Rich Franklin KO’s Chuck Lidell In Exciting First Round

A great first round where both fighters landed their own personal damage. Midway in the first Chuck threw a body kick that Franklin blocked with his forearm and he broke it. However, Franklin being as tough as he is kept in the fight, but you can tell something was wrong.

A great first round where both fighters landed their own personal damage. Midway in the first Chuck threw a body kick that Franklin blocked with his forearm and he broke it. However, Franklin being as tough as he is kept in the fight, but you can tell something was wrong.

Near the end of the round, Chuck had Franklin against the cage and was pressing after landing some looping punches. When Chuck over committed to his attack, he walked into Franklin’s right hook. Out cold. Franklin wins in the first with little time left on the clock.

Joe Rogan mentioned it might be the last time we see Chuck in the Octagon, but I gotta say, this is the best Chuck looked in quite awhile. He looked very good in his attacks, his takedowns, I didn’t expect him to fight as well as he did. Chuck really hasn’t thrown body kicks like that since his very early days in the UFC. I’m talking about when he wore shoes!
