Alan Belcher vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama

Round 1 – Belcher starts off with some leg kicks and feigning a few punches. Akiyama is not impressed. Belcher kicks Akiyama square in the nuts and puts him on the ground rolling around. The crowd gives a big ooooohhhh when the replay is shown. Belcher is keeping his hands really low and looks like he no respect for Akiyama. Akiyama is landing a few shots, but Belcher is landing more with the kicks and pawing shots. Belcher lands a straight right and put Akiyama on his ass. Akiyama back up quickly and looks OK. Akiyama is getting busier after the knock down. Both guys are landing hard shots as the round winds down. Akiyama gets him down at the end of the round, but doesn’t do anything with it. I’d give the round to Belcher.

Round 2 – Belcher goes for a kick right away and Akiyama takes him down. Belcher looking for a submission, but getting nowhere close. Belcher is staying busy and Akiyama is having a hard time doing much from the top because of it. Akiyama is landing the occasional hard shot from the top, but Belcher is in no real danger. Belcher back up with 2 minutes left. Belcher looks to be getting a little tired. End of the round was slow. I’d give it to Akiyama for control and landing some of the better shots.

Round 3 – Both guys have swelling around the eyes. Belcher throwing some kicks low and goes high, but is blocked. Each guy tagging the other with hard shots. No combos, just single shots and out. Akiyama has a problem with the left eye and is blinking and swelling up. Could have been a poke. Akiyama is limping a bit while moving forward. Belcher landing kicks. Akiyama drops Belcher, but he’s right back up. Akiyama gets the takedown with 20 seconds left. Belcher back up. Great fight. TOught to call the final round. Belcher landed more, but Akiyama got a knockdown and a takedown. I could see it go either way, but I’ll say Belcher. I have it Belcher 29-28.

Decision – 30-27 Akiyama, 29-28 Blecher, 29-28 Akiyama. Akiyama by split decision. Joe thinks Belcher was robbed, but I can see the 29-28 score for Akiyama.

Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping is coming up next.

Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping

Bisping is coming out to something that isn’t “London Calling” and that’s a shame since there aren’t many bands better than The Clash. Bisping is ripped. Thank God Henderson is still using “Lunatic Fringe”. He looks calm and ready to go, Bisping appears a bit nervous. My girlfriend is picking Bisping. I laughed a little. Henderson better win.

Crowd is booing the hell out of Bisping.

Round 1 – Henderson is throwing the right like he wants to send Bisping’s head into the 7th row. Henderson backing Bisping up and cracking him. Bisping seems to be OK.

I give the round to Henderson.

Decision – Dan Henderson by brutal KO. One round faster than I thought he’d get it done.

Decision – 50-45, 50-44, 50-45. GSP by unanimous decision. Another dominate performance by Georges St. Pierre.

The main event of Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir is up next. I’m not sure what happened to the Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago fight. Maybe they were afraid of going long and had them fight on the undercard with the thought of showing it on tape if they have time.

Mir suffered a hematoma while training and needed to have it lanced. He has discoloration and what could be a scab high on the forehead to the side of his eye. Joe informs us that they lanced it so that if it opens up it will bleed down the side of his face and not into his eye. Mir looks to be in great shape. Lesnar comes down looking like a monster.

Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir

No glove touch by Lesnar. He totally dissed Mir.

Round 1 – Lesnar cracked him and then took him down. Applying a rape choke from the half guard and smothering Frank. Herb Dean telling them to work. Brock landing short punches and has Mir bleeding a little. Crowd booing the action. Brock pounding him with hard single shots from the top. Nothing that will end the fight, but they will do damage. Mir’s leg is heavily taped on the left quad and knee. Brock is landing big shots, but Mir is saying he’s OK. God damn that has to hurt. Mir reaching for a leg, Brock avoids it and cracks him again. Mir’s face looks bad, Round ends. Lesnar gives him a pat on the hip and Mir gets up smiling

Round 2 – Brock took him down and then backed off for the stand up. Mir landed a hard shot and then hit a big jumping knee. Brock didn’t like it too much and took Mir down against the cage. Brock smothering and maybe recovering a little from the shots. Brock now pounding him as the crowd yells, “stand them up”. Brock knocked him out on the ground. Mir got back up and went after Lesnar pissed about something. Crowd was booing so Lesnar gave everyone the finger.

Decision – Lesnar wins at 1:48 of round 2 via KO. Crowd hates him almost as much as they hated Sylvia. Lesnar totally playing the heel, telling them he loves it. Lesnar cutting a pro wrestling promo on Mir.

Lesnar says he’s going home to drink some Coors Light because Bud Light won’t pay him and he may even get on top of his wife tonight. Thankfully, Mir was a bit more gracious.

Rogan announces that the Fitch and Thiago fight is going on live next. Not sure if we’ll see it on the PPV or not.

Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago

Round 1 – Fitch opening up with some low kicks to Thiago. Takes Thiago down and ends up in a guillotine. Looks tight, but Fitch looks comfortable and working to get out. Thiago has to be burning his arms out going for the choke. He better how he’s able to finish. Fitch out with 2 minutes left. Fitch on top and gets Thiago’s back. Fitch throwing short punches and elbows to the head of Thiago. Tough round, but I guess I’ll go with Thiago since he had control for 3 minutes although Fitch never appeared to be in major trouble.

Round 2 – Fitch lands a punch and drives Thiago to the fence and gets a takedown. Fitch on top and landing small shots. Thiago looking for the guillotine, but doesn’t get it. Fitch gets his back.

Fitch is really controlling the fight on the ground. Fitch working for a choke, but Thiago is defending well. 30 sends left and Fitch seems content to keep punching from the back. Handily Fitch’s round. It’s either 29-28 or 30-27 Fitch.

Decision – 30-27, 29-28, 29-28. John Fitch by unanimous decision.

Lawlor got submission of the night. No official announcement, but I imagine KO of the night is going to Henderson.

Overall, a good night of fights. I think it lived up to the hype and I’m looking forward to the next 100 events.
