UFC 119: Features Lytle-Serra rematch

Matt Serra and Chris Lytle will hook 'em up one more time in a rematch from The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 4 Finale when they throw leather at the upcoming UFC 119 event scheduled for the Conseco Fieldhouse on Sept. 25 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Serra (11-6) narrowly squeaked past his fellow finalist on "The Comeback" edition of the Spike TV reality show. That win guaranteed him a shot at UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre -- and there isn't a mixed martial arts fan alive that doesn't know how that turned out.

Unfortunately "The Terror" would give the belt back to "Rush" in their rematch at UFC 83 and go on to drop a unanimous decision loss to bitter rival Matt Hughes at UFC 98 one year later.

The stocky grappler returned to the win column with a technical knockout victory over Frank Trigg at UFC 109 earlier this year. Serra has only competed four times since his 2006 bout with Lytle -- compared to the 11 scraps clocked in by "Lights Out."

UFC 116: Brock made Carwin submit

I was not able to watch UFC 116 on TV for I was busy doing something else, yah' something else; so I missed one of the greatest and 'biggest' fights in UFC history. Brock Lesnar against Shane Carwin could had me jumping and shouting in excitement with a beer on my hand... it didn't happen. So sad.

It's only 20 minutes ago that I've learned about the outcome of the fight, Brock had made Carwin submit thru an 'arm-triangle-choke'! Wow! So Lesnar won the fight thru submission? I was expecting a ground-and-pound from the big man. But I guess Brock had a plan B (submission) for he was hurt bad on the first round, he was even cut. A big comeback for him on the second round. Amazing.

And so, the record of Carwin had been marred, I would definitely like to see a rematch for this fight; I'm sure a lot of UFC fans do, too.

UFC 115: Liddell Got Iced by Franklin

It was, to many, an unexpected way for the main event of UFC 115 to end between Rich Franklin and Chuck "Ice Man" Liddell. Also for me, my prediction was it would be Franklin going down. I was wrong.

A big out-of-nowhere right hand hit Liddell that made him out-cold; Franklin followed up with a couple more punches and it was all over. Did Franklin put Chuck's career out for good? Well...

Rashad Evans wins UFC 114

It was all over, much has been said till it was done.

"Sugar" Rashad Evans had defeated Quinton "Rampage" Jackson via unanimous decision (UD) on their light-heavyweight grudge match for a possible title shot against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Evans controlled rounds 1 and 2, scored good points which would be enough to win the game but Rampage exploded in the last round - landed power shots that hurt Rashad. However, Evans was able to get up and maintain his composure and had even scored take-downs. It was an exciting fight that a lot of MMA/UFC fans would like to see a rematch.

Congratulations to both fighters.

* Nobody goes out this octagon a loser, everybody wins.. - Rampage Jackson

UFC's White sliced out Kimbo

UFC president Dana White laid down the challenge to Internet phenom Kimbo Slice and the street fighter accepted it. Kimbo made it through his stint on Season 10 of "The Ultimate Fighter" and got two more fights with the promotion.

Slice went 1-1 in the UFC after the reality show, including a bad loss Saturday night at UFC 113 against Matt Mitrione. The fight was so one-sided, the UFC president decided to give Kimbo, 36, his pink slip.

"That's probably Kimbo's last fight in the UFC," White said. "Listen, Kimbo made it farther than I thought he would."

As White was exiting the press conference for a postfight television interview, he was asked one more time about Kimbo's future. A reporter pushed him on the "probably" in his original Kimbo quote. White then confirmed definitively that Slice was gone.

Unlike some cases where other high-profile fighters were sent packing, White sounded genuinely disappointed to fire him.

UFC 113: Machida-Shogun 2

Their first meeting of these two great fighters was one of the most controversial of 2009. After five brutal rounds it appeared as though the challenger had done enough to best the unbeaten champion. The judges didn’t agree. In an unusual circumstance, the fallen challenger Mauricio “Shogun” Rua was granted an immediate rematch against UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida. Saturday night’s main event will feature two warriors seeking different types of respect. For the challenger, it’s vindication. For the champion, redemption. Let’s take a look at a rematch of one of last year’s best as Machida takes on “Shogun” at UFC 113.

Silva is victorious | Penn falls

Anderson “The Spider” Silva retained his title, defeating Demian Maia via unanimous decision. The uneventful contest, which drew boos from the crowd, also drew a post-fight apology from Silva. ”I apologize to everybody. I don’t know what got into me,” he said.

Frankie Edgar found an “Answer” for “The Prodigy,” snaring the UFC lightweight title from BJ Penn via unanimous decision. The bout was largely waged on the feet as the crafty Edgar used head movement and fast feet to keep the previously unstoppable Penn off balance. The judges scored the bout 50-45, 48-47 and 49-46.

In a battle of legends, Matt Hughes goes 2-0 against the Gracie family, defeating Renzo Gracie via TKO in the final round. The former UFC welterweight champion picked the 43-year-old Gracie apart throughout the fight with a series of unchecked leg kicks. Hughes rocked a wobbly Gracie with a hard shot that sent the Brazilian back into the cage, prompting referee Herb Dean to intervene. Gracie was barely able to stand at the conclusion of the bout.

Rafael dos Anjos defeated Terry Etim with an arm bar in round two. The official time was 4:30. The loss was Etim’s first in the Octagon. With the victory, dos Anjos extends his UFC win streak to three.

Mark Munoz staged an incredible comeback victory, defeating Ultimate Fighter winner Kendall Grove via TKO midway thru second round to kick off the night’s main card.

UFC 111: GSP still victorious, Carwin still undefeated

He is truly a complete MMA fighter as he had walked out of UFC 111 victorious once again. Georges St-Pierre was on top of his game (though he apologized to the fans for such performance) as he had scored a lopsided victory over Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy. We all know that GSP is a very skilled and talented fighter as he had always put Hardy on the ground, controlled the temp and shoot some submission moves.

On the other hand, Shane Carwin claimed the UFC interim heavyweight championship with a dramatic knockout of former champion Frank Mir at 3:48 of the opening stanza. The beginning of the end came as Carwin pinned Mir against the cage and reigned down a series of blows that sent Mir crumbling to the canvas. Carwin flattened Mir out and landed several more unanswered shots before the referee stepped in to save the Las Vegan from further damage.

With a 12-0 record, Carwin will likely meet heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in July for a unification bout.

"Bones" Jones defeated Vera by TKO

"Why have a Thai match against someone who may be better than me at it?" was the answer of Jon "Bones" Jones when he was asked on why he had focused more on his striking that had made him score a first-round TKO over Brandon "The Truth" Vera.

Both, Jones and Vera, were both coming off losses and looking to become reestablished as contenders in the light heavyweight division.

When the round opened, Jones scored an early hip toss take-down but Vera scrambled back to his feet. The fighters exchanged strikes and Jones scored with a double leg take-down. From his back Vera landed an illegal up-kick to the face of Jones that seemed to hurt Jones. The referee took a penalty point from Vera and the fight resumed on the ground with Jones in the guard of Vera.

Jones postured up and landed a strong elbow that hurt Vera. Jones followed with several punches that made Vera roll away to escape the strikes and Jones landed more punches until the referee stopped the bout giving the TKO win to Jon Jones at 3:19 of round one.

UFC 110: Velasquez defeats Nogueria

Wow! What an amazing performance by Cain Velasquez as he had knocked out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for their heavyweight main event. Whew! Velasquez was very strong with his combination of kicks and strikes.

Cain landed a devastating right that floored Nogueira; Velasquez then jumps over and landed heavy strikes that put Nogueira out. Devastating victory!

UFC 110: Silva had defeated Bisping

Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva had put up to a good performance once again as he had defeated Michael Bisping via unanimous decision. Silva was just awesome with his kicks and strikes that had him won over Bisping's defense.

I had Silva won the three round on my card.

Randy Coture chokes Mark Coleman to victory

One legend had become victorious as the other fell. The battle of the two of UFC's legendary fighters is over.

Randy Coture, once again with an amazing performance, had dominated Mark Coleman and won with a rare submission victory (rear naked choke) during their bout for the UFC 109 [Relentless] event.

Couture had dominated the first round of the fight and had Coleman exhausted on the bell. On the second round, Randy had the chance to be on full mount and he was pounding on Mark, the latter then gave his back and this had let Couture established a rear naked choke. Tired and defenseless, Coleman decided to retire and tap.

Congratulations to Randy "The Natural" Couture for the impressive victory.
