Late last night (Jan. 16, 2010), Midwest-based mixed martial arts promotion, 5150 Combat, held its turn-of-the-year event, "New Year's Revolution." at the Spirit Bank Event Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The promotion pulled out all the stops for the show, featuring numerous ex-UFC fighters on the card, including main event participant, Houston Alexander, who was fresh off his lackluster losing performance against Kimbo Slice at the The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 Finale last month, signed on to scrap with hard hitting knockout artist, Joey "The Mexicutioner" Beltran.
The Nebraska native was able to avoid a knockout against Slice, but all the "defense" in the world wasn't going to stop Beltran from getting the stoppage.
Where Kimbo was ineffective in his ability to close the distance on his feet with Alexander, "The Mexicutioner" had no trouble, erasing that distance by taking Alexander to the mat and smothering him with ground and pound. Alexander weathered a nasty storm to survive the first round, but he couldn't make it through the second, succumbing to strikes midway through the frame.
The win marks Beltran's ninth career (technical) knockout.
Ex-Zuffa employees Rich "No Love" Clementi (UFC) and Mike Budnik (WEC) squared off for their new organization's lightweight championship belt.
The fight was back and forth for the majority of the five rounds before the submission specialist, Clementi, locked in his eighteenth career submission victory, finishing off a game Budnik with a rear naked choke.
Three other titles were also decided on the night.
Gary Frazier captured the heavyweight crown by stopping Ray Clayton with strikes in the fourth round. And former UFC light heavyweight Tim Boetsch is now the 5150 Combat 205 pound champion after submitting Rudy Lindsey in the second round with a guillotine.
In other action, Amber Powell claimed the female atomweight belt when she submitted Tammy Schneider with a first round armbar.
Former UFC top heavyweight contender Jeff Monson also competed on the main card, making his first appearance since dropping a decision to Pedro Rizzo back in September. "The Snowman" eked out a razor close split decision over dangerous up-and-comer, John Brown.
Check out the full results from "New Year's Revolution" below:
Joey Beltran defeated Houston Alexander via technical knockout in round two

Spot all the UFC dropouts in this poster
Forrest Griffin on the other hand, is UFC for life. Thanks to Dana White and his marketing schemes.
I really wish they would bring Rich Clementi back. They should have made him like a gatekeeper or something. I really like his “No Love” attitude. A couple more of those wins will get you back!
I like the 5-round format too!

Clementi never should have been cut
He lost to Gray and Gleison, both of whom are huge LWs and tough opposition for anyone. He was also on a long winning streak and always gives it everything he has, hopefully he can earn one more run in the UFC. It’s farcical that Melvin is still in the UFC and Rich isn’t.

He sounds pretty tough. Better do it from a disposable cell phone.

Dam
Crazy to see Houston fall so hard after his fast start in the UFC. Some guys get knocked out once and that fear never leaves.
Being old isn’t helping him either

Only one decision all night, and Houston got knocked out
I kinda wish I had seen this card.
"He#s the WWE champ and with out a doubt should be ranked higher than any other man in the UFC. "-Puck Head, LOL.
Houston didn’t get knocked out it was a referees stoppage. He was basically mounted and Beltran just pummeled him for most of the fight. He was a bloody mess when they finally stopped the fight.
It just goes to show you how thin a line their is between the guys in the bottom half of the UFC and the rest of the mid level fighters in the world. The difference in talent isn’t much at all.
The Clementi/Budnick fight was pretty good. Clementi shouldn’t be fighting on these smaller shows he’s better than that. He should be in the UFC or Strikeforce.
And I’m pretty sure that Jeff Monson fought someone else than what’s listed above. Monson really didn’t look that great.

I wasn’t there, but watched 5 of the fights on a stream last night. I’m not sure how long before the fights are on Youtube.

Oh you naughty boy!!!
You know streaming is wrong!!!!!!!!!! lol
Tito Ortiz: I think Chuck's lost a step, maybe i've lost a step also, but that's what makes the fight so exciting!
My mistake the guy’s name was Scott Barrett who fought Monson. For some reason I thought the ring announcer called him something else.

interresting show
some of these fights could be key for some of these guys getting into Strikeforce, Bellator, WVR, M-1, and DREAM.
Good for Rich, Boetsch and Horn to win
I can’t believe Jeremy is still fighting, how many fights has that guy had? Good to see that he can still submit people at this stage of his career, even if it was on a smaller show.
Boetsch is a beast and was unlucky to get cut, sure his grappling and cardio aren’t that great but he’s always prepared to fight on short notice and would be a useful asset to bigger promotions.
Clementi is good enough for better promotions than this one, he never should have been cut by the UFC and I’d like to see him brought back or signed up by SF, he’s still good enough to give a lot of top LWs trouble on the ground.
Houston, Snowman and Imes are all done. Houston has become a laughing stock in MMA, Monson is proving why the talk of him replacing Barnett against Fedor was so laughable as he can’t beat a well past his best Rizzo and just squeaks decisions these days. Imes hasn’t done anything since TUF and he’s destined to keep on losing on these smaller shows until he retires.

Imes
Brad Imes didn’t actually fight on this card. Brian Imes did. Brad Imes is the gogoplata heavyweight king. With that being said though, he is definitely going no where in mma, losing to Pat Smith and Josh Queen.
Mania lies then
I was wondering why Brad Imes was only mentioned in the results and didn’t make the poster. I guess that was another Brock Lesnar/Brock Larson moment.

Horn is a machine
The guy has 108 professional fights.

Jeff Monson
this guy reminds me of a independent pro wrestler. He fights on every and any show he can get on. They should do the fighter and have it about Monson
Great card
for a regional show, but god what an terrible poster.
Why don’t you use a few more fucking fonts guys; I recommend Cyprus and Bleeding Cowboy
Shogun lost a close decision! Everyone get crazy!
