In a back-and-forth slobberknocker only witnessed in the UFC heavyweight division, champion Stipe Miocic picked up his first title defense in a rousing bout with Alistair Overeem in the main event of tonight’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

In a back-and-forth slobberknocker only witnessed in the UFC heavyweight division, champion Stipe Miocic picked up his first title defense in a rousing bout with Alistair Overeem in the main event of tonight’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

The pressure was high in the UFC’s first-ever pay-per-view in his native Cleveland, and Miocic delivered in a big way when he put out Overeem’s lights with a torrent of ground and pound. But it wasn’t without some adversity, as “The Reem” stayed fleet of foot to counter Miocic, actually putting him on the ground with a well-timed shot at one point.

The Dutch striking legend went for a guillotine which he thought made Miocic tap; yet the champion remained stalwart to continue trading shots with the former K-1 Grand Prix champion, each fighter rocking each other at one point. Ultimately, the Croatian-American firefighter picked up his biggest-ever win by knocking out one of the most dangerous fighters in the world.

Fabricio Werdum picked up his second win over Travis Browne in the co-main event of tonight’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, but the most heated action took place after the fight was over.

As Cleveland fans shockingly booed Werdum’s dominant performance in an odd fight where Browne took a ‘timeout’ with a dislocated finger, ‘Vai Cavalo’ made some gestures that Browne’s (and Ronda Rousey’s) head coach Edmond Tarverdyan very angry.

With public opinion not in his favor all that much, Tarverdyan had some colorful words for Werdum that made the former UFC champ front kick him in the center of the Octagon. Check it out here:

“You go BIG or you go home” – @CMPunk #UFC203 https://t.co/H4LEnkXwmI

— #UFC203 (@ufc) September 11, 2016

Well, CM Punk claimed it was his new career, we’ll see how long that lasts.

“The Best in the World,” former WWE Superstar Phil Brooks made his MMA debut at age 37 on Saturday night, getting dominated in a one-sided affair to relative unknown, rising UFC rookie prospect Mickey Gall in one of the co-featured bouts at the UFC 203 event in Cleveland, Ohio.

Gall immediately took down Punk in the third fight from the top at the PPV at the Quicken Loans Arena this weekend, beating him down with ground and pound before securing a rear-naked choke and forcing the tap at the 2:14 mark of the very first round.

Punk and Gall were respectful in defeat, and Punk had noticeable damage to his eye and ear after the brief Octagon appearance. Punk noted that this won’t be his last fight, despite the fact that it didn’t go his way tonight. He calls tonight the second best night of his life after getting married.

For those following the theme music fun, Gall did end up coming out to the Toni Basil song, “Hey Mickey,” while Punk came out to his old WWE theme song, Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality.”

It’s once again fight day here at LowKickMMA, and the talent on display tonight (Saturday, September 10th, 2016) will come in the form of UFC 203. Headlining the card are Alistair Overeem and Stipe Miocic, but there’s a whole bunch of great fights also taking place on the preliminary section of the card.

Jessica Eye (11-5, 1NC) vs. Bethe Correia (9-2) in a women’s bantamweight bout closes the preliminary card on Fox Sports 1.

Nik Lentz (26-7-2, 1NC) vs. Michael McBride (8-1) is next in a lightweight bout.

Brad Tavares (13-4) vs. Caio Magalhaes (9-2) is next in a middleweight bout.

Drew Dober (17-7, 1NC) vs. Jason Gonzalez (10-3) in a lightweight bout opened the Fox Sports 1 preliminary bouts. This one did not last long at all. Dober swarms with him strikes and Gonzalez falls back towards the cage. Dober finished him on the ground with strikes.

Opening the UFC 203 Fight Pass prelims was Yancy Medeiros (13-4, 1NC) vs. Sean Spencer (12-6) in a welterweight bout. This one landed with a thud. In round 1, both guys were conservative and had a feeling out process in the early going. Spencer was mixing up his kicks as well. Spencer had success ducking in and finding the overhand right. They close in, and Spencer tagged him. Spencer slipped, and Medeiros landed some jabs. Medeiros told him to bring it on as his held up his hands. They were trashing talking towards the end of the round. In round 2, Medeiros landed a head kick that dropped Spencer early in the round then swarmed him on the ground with strikes. Medeiros got his back and locked in the rear-naked choke for the win.

Here are the quick results:

Drew Dober def. Jason Gonzalez via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 1:45

Yancy Medeiros def. Sean Spencer by submission (rear-naked choke) at :39 of Round 2

Nick Diaz Supposedly Negotiating To Replace Robbie Lawler At UFC 205

The MMA world was dealt some disappointing news last night (Fri., September 9, 2016) when word arrived former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler was out of his anticipated slugfest with Donald Cerrone at November’s UFC 205 from Madison Square Garden. “Cowboy” was then quick to offer his services to fill in for the injured CB

The MMA world was dealt some disappointing news last night (Fri., September 9, 2016) when word arrived former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler was out of his anticipated slugfest with Donald Cerrone at November’s UFC 205 from Madison Square Garden.

“Cowboy” was then quick to offer his services to fill in for the injured CB Dollaway at light heavyweight at tonight’s UFC 203.

The reason “Ruthless” can’t fight is yet to be officially clarified, but fans are obviously out a fight that could have potentially been up there with the best fights of the year.

However, all hope is not lost. According to a report from The Las Vegas Post’s Mario Saunders, returning welterweight star Nick Diaz is apparently in negotiations to replace Lawler at the UFC’s debut show from NYC:

DiazInNegotationsAt205

If that is indeed the case, it’s impossible to deny that Diaz vs. Cerrone would be another absolute barnburner that MMA fans will be eagerly anticipating. The fight also comes with a built-in revenge angle, as Nick’s younger brother Nate famously picked Cerrone apart to win a decision at 2011’s UFC 141 after a bad blood-fueled buildup and a heated weigh-ins face-off.

Nick Diaz, who, despite not securing a win in the Octagon since October 2011 over an outsized and over-matched BJ Penn, remains one of the biggest and most recognizable names in MMA. That’s only grown in scope throughout his controversial 18-month suspension (which was reduced from a ridiculous five years) from the NAC for his latest marijuana offense, thanks in no small part to Nate’s heavily publicized feud with Conor McGregor.

Yet he’s also repeatedly stated he only wants to take on the biggest names in MMA, and reportedly eschewed the idea of a possible title fight with newly-crowned 170-pound champ Tyron Woodley. His last two fights were defeats at the hands of arguably the two greatest mixed martial artists of all time in Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre, and even though Cerrone remains one of the biggest fan favorites in the UFC, he may or may not be big enough for Diaz’s own personal scale.

Now it could be Nick’s turn to take the reigns for the Diaz brothers and throw down with ‘Cowboy’ in a fight that would have the entire sport buzzing.
