UFC Fight Night 58: Machida vs. Dollaway — Liveblogging the Fights We Care About

UFC Fight Night 58 is the last UFC event of year, but it’s not exactly a “YEAR-END EVENT!” worth getting excited about. It’s more like that last bit of food of your plate after a long, arduous dinner, and you have no real interest in cramming it down your throat — in fact, the very thought of doing that makes you want to barf — but come on, you’re not really going to leave one bite on your plate, are you? Who does that? It’s just one bite! Eat it!

Anyway, tonight’s card comes to us live from the Jose Correa Arena in Barueri, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and features Lyoto Machida vs. CB Dollaway, Renan Barao vs. Mitch Gagnon, Shoe Face vs. Brawlin’ Barista, and Erick Silva vs. Uncredited Non-Wiki Victim #3. We’ll be plugging in all the UFC Fight Night 58 results after the jump, and we might even liveblog the fights we’ve mentioned above, if we feel like it. Follow us after the jump, refresh the page periodically for the latest updates, and follow us on twitter for even more commentary.

Welcome to the UFC on FOX 13 liveblog. Stay a while, share some laughs, and pray for some saucy scraps. It’s been a pretty eventful evening thus far to say the least, so let’s hope the trend continues.

Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Matt Mitrione

Round 1: Mitrione declines to touch gloves, and starts talking to him. Mitrione is bouncy on the feet, but gets caught by a right hand from Gonzaga. Mitrione lands a sharp jab, keeping up with his footwork. Gonzaga steps on Mitrione’s foot, and the latter starts to back up. Gonzaga starting to walk him down. Both heavyweights are swinging wildly, but missing most of their punches. Mitrione staggers Gonzaga with a brutal left hand, and the Brazilian goes down on all fours. Mitrione lacing him with shots, and Gonzaga tries to get up but is brought down again. It’s all over, and the man formerly known as “Meathead” gets the job done.

Edgar Garcia vs. Hector Ubina

Round one: Urbina opens up with a wild right hand that misses. He lands a right shortly after. Urbina lands a leg kick, but takes a solid punch from Garcia. Urbina throws a kick to the body, but it’s caught by Garcia, who brings him down and takes his back. Garcia has the hooks in, softening him up to the dome. He flattens him, and decks Urbina with some solid shots. Urbina is trying to fight him off, and ends up on top after his opponent lost his positioning. Urbina scrambles and gets a hold of Garcia’s neck for an anaconda choke. Garcia pushes through, getting back to his feet. Some clinch work near the fence, and Urbina slaps the anaconda choke out after his foe went for the takedown. It’s a real tight grip, and Garcia taps out.
