Kongo with another good double leg take down. Knees to the body by Kongo. Herb Dean stands them up.

Thats the bell, Kongo dominates but looses a point. 9-9 round.
Round three: Kongo again with a take down. Kongo just holding position and throwing elbows to the back of the thigh. Kongo pounds away with some big elbows to the side of the ribs and that is it. Buentello taps out after a sound beating he couldnt have been any tougher but it just all piled up to be too much damage.
Final result: Cheick Kongo defeats Paul Buentello via submission (Strikes) Round 3

Round one: Sakara with a good combo to start. Leg kick from Sakara. Leg kick from Irvin. Spinning backfist from Sakara. Leg kick from the Italian. Nice straight right from Sakara. Another good right from Alessio. Nice leg kick from Irvin but he is not throwing much. Good body shot from Sakara followed by a good right. Big snapping right from Sakara. Big jab from Sakara and Irvin grabs his eye and goes to his knee's. Josh Rosenthal stops the fight to check the eye, but so far it looks like a clean shot. One more look at the replay confirms it was a solid left hook that stunned Irvin and unfortunately the fight is being stopped when Irvin would have been in some big trouble. Now Rosenthal see's the replay and stops the fight and awards a TKO for Sakara and rightfully so, James Irvin tried to take the easy way out after having it put on him for the majority of the 1st round and luckily the referee got it right.
Final result: Alessio Sakara defeats James Irvin via TKO (Strikes) Round 1

best free card to date for UFC
I hope they somehow work it out that we can catch a couple the undercard fights. I wanna see Clays, Fishers, and couple more.
Great card! Can’t wait to see ‘Vera boring’ lookin up at the lights trying to see God.

Good card
It’s one of the better free cards do to the new network obviously. Has some PPV worthy fights that I really want to see, yet can’t cus I live in Canada…
JDS and Jones will win. It’s funny that Gonzaga and Vera both seem to not like to actually “fight”. They seem to lose their will once the fight is braught to them. Jones will UD Vera, JDS ko’s GG round 2(I only state round 2 because I hope GG gets JDS to the ground so we can see what his jits is like).
we don't.
Big #*&%-you to the canadian fans.
you guys serious?
They can’t leave us out? I know as of now we don’t have anything confirmed but Dana has a lot of respect for what we as Canadian fans give him. We’re the most important chunk of his market, person per capita wise. I’m sure he’ll take good care of us.
And if he doesn’t then I’ll hate him even more. Lol. Mania will let us know of something in the coming weeks I’m sure.

We won’t miss. Your statement is accurate. Dana wont let it slide on us Canucks.
Congrats to everyone who picked Robbie over MM. He took an a$$ whoopin but played a "risky" game plan like a fiddle. H O L Y S H 1 T that was an insane finish - Melvin was completly waxed. 2/3 on the night. Crap.
I still haven't figured it out...WEC was on the score last time but I'm hoping to figure it out before it arrives
Fedor once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit.

Robbie…. wow. Nicely played.

LOL. I can't see how you got Miller over Maia unless you think Miller is going to KO him ala Nate. Serra punches like a donkey and Trigg's last win over a credible opponent was ??? Gotta go with the numbers here, Mac.

Serra is dangerous on the ground too
He looked really good against Hughes and Hughes is much better on the ground than trigg. I can’t see trigg winning this one just my opinion though

you need to make smarter picks. not take chances
just bustin balls. But Jim Miller of Maia? You are going to look like a smart man if that comes true
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
Dan Miller just got his BB...not that he's even close to Maia's level but at least he'll have decent defence and not put himself into bad spots...we'll see

The score..
is only for WEC fights, it mentioned nothing of the UFC on Versus. Unless you have read some article that I haven’t, then by all means send it my way so I can stop belly-achin.
Ya well WEC is currently home to the score. And UFC has always replayed stuff on Sportsnet (damned Ultimate Fighter replays 10x a day).
So long as I don’t have to watch it as a replay I’ll be happy. I’m not sweating it just yet, we’ll be good.

But for me not HD because sporsnet west is the only sportnet HD channel and ir has the Hockey game on, but sportnet east and another one both have the fights.

Did you see this somewhere? I haven’t been able to find anything. That said, I can’t bring myself to watch Mauro’s MMA show on the Score, so maybe it was announced there?

I take it back, PH, you speculator.
They announced on MMA Connected last night that this would be airing on Sportsnet.

Time for some CanCon...
Any of my fellow Canadian MManiacs know if/where this is going to air in the great white north? I’m hoping that the Score gets it (maybe they got these along with the WEC events) but it may air on Sportsnet like all the Spike stuff. I just haven’t seen anything. I wonder if an email to the UFC would get answered…
I agree that it will be interesting to see Vera in an exciting fight again. It’s been so long.
Also, is anyone talking about Robbie’s late hit on Manhoef? That one definitely made me feel a little uncomfortable. I mean the ref’s arm was across Lawlors body when he delivered that last punch. It might not have been egregious but it was definitely ugly.

And he was staring into Melving eyes too.
He KNEW he was sleeping and the ref was pushing him off.
Watching it live, it doesn’t look so bad. But watching the replays, even normal speed, it was unnecessary.
There have been quite a few “bad” shots thrown to KO’d opponnents since UFC 100 yet all anyone wants to talk about is Hendo’s which really wasn’t even all that bad.

RObbie did the same to Frank Trigg

There is a chance that the main card will be over with 15 total minutes of fighting. Very good chance of seeing much of the undercard!

15 minutes may be too much

i dont know about manslaughter
I really don’t think jones is walking through vera, as far as I remember none of the fighters he’s destroyed are at veras striking level, and vera proved he has some td defense against randy.
And gonzaga is a tough dude, solid fighter and good hands and kicks too.
So I think vera wins a decision, but I do think jds tkos gonzaga.
by Phenomenal Angel on Feb 1, 2010 11:14 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Agreed, PA. I think Vera does not have the mental toughness to get a W against Bones but he is not a pushover. Gonzaga also has an excellent chance against JDS if he does not mentally wilt under the pressure.

OJR.
You know whats on the go! Agree’d on the mental aspects of both the fighters as I stated above.
Yup. Both GG and Vera are classic underachievers. Agreed with you 100%.

-Stephen King
Vera is a constant point of frustration for me
he’s got the out of the ring personality that could propel him in pop. vote
but as you say he mentally fails to pull it all together.
He needs to throw more leg kicks now that his TDD is better.

Undercard
I like the entire undercard. This is one heck of a stacked event as far as possible exciting fights.
yes
Therefore making it not a better card. How can you say that when there is a title shot and a #1 contender shot on the same card? Plus throw in Daley vs Kos and I think that’s a fantastic PPV.
They are both great cards and I’d agree its better than most the last 7 besides Penn/Sanchez but not 111 or 112.
110? 109? Fair enough.

by daniel worby on Feb 1, 2010 12:35 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Throw in Daley vs Kos?
That’s not happening at UFC 111. The Hardy/GSP fight is a joke. Carwin./Mir will be lucky to get past round 1. The under card isn’t that good,
alves v fitch
could be a real boring UD. but hoping for a brutal KO
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.

Can’t say 111 isn’t a great main card before the fights happen due to your predictions. Based on what we see main card wise (PPV) we gotta great card ahead.

Sweet!!
This is Jones rise to the top. I know alot of you guys think he’s overhyped but I’m telling you he’s still young and can compete with the best, would he win against the best? maybe not but Vera is good solid figther and will not give Jones much of a reach advantage like he’s use to and a great fight to really test Jones. I would rate Vera just ahead of Jardine calibure as a fighter.
kongo against Paul will be a great stand up war, I beleive Kongo will win this one but it should be a KO in this one. And Howard against Johnson should be fireworks, Johnson is still pissed about his last fight and has a chip on his shoulder, I see Howard being Ko for the first time. And of coarse JDS looking like the best rising HW in MMA today and he’s going against a desperate Gonzoga who I’m expecting to put everything on the line, will it be enough I doubt it but you never know he needs a win badly wich should make for high energized fight either way.
This card is looking wicked and I think us fans will be spoiled early this year with all of last years injuries near the end of the year we are getting some stacked cards.
"He broke tim sylvia’s arm…...So what?" – Brock Lesnar
Jones is not over hyped.
He is a natural. G.Jackson has said that he has one of the most creative minds in MMA.
We’ve seen him peform well in every fight and the Hamil loss was a win to many of us. This fight against Vera proves that joe Silva agrees. In training apparently he is always coming up with new attacks and defences that even Jackson says extraordinary. And think about what Greg see’s daily in his gym. This could be a nasty fight for both guys.
Jones is the future… if you don’t know, now you know. Sucka.
Congrats to everyone who picked Robbie over MM. He took an a$$ whoopin but played a "risky" game plan like a fiddle. H O L Y S H 1 T that was an insane finish - Melvin was completly waxed. 2/3 on the night. Crap.

He’s amazing talent and is 100% the future. He isn’t going anywhere but up for a while.

Zino I agree
I’m jsut saying many on here believe he is. Some might of changed there tones after the hammil fight but I know some were still doubting his talents. Jones has a wrestling background but has showcased his striking more than his wrestling and done very well. I believe many will see how talented this kid is after this fight. I’m excited to see him fight he looks better each time he steps in the octagon.
"He broke tim sylvia’s arm…...So what?" – Brock Lesnar
Don't forget - Vera got wall and stalled by the paycheck....
he did absolutely nothing to fight it back either. Woodshed time – coz that’s where Bones is taking him.

How good is the guy fighting Ludwig? Dana talked about Ludwig as if he is/was a bad ass? looks like he has cancer or aids so surely the other guy who is outsder is worth a bet?
I was a fool to think Bisping had any chance against the Axe Murderer, and even more foolish to bet agaisnt the great Puck Head.
I think Buentello will surprise everyone and take the fight to the ground.
JDD will win via murder (manslaughter, whatever).
Vera will win via submission
This is looking like a great card. Can’t wait for it to start.

I’m stoked for this card.
The weather might suck in the UK, I know it’s a free card in the US, but over here, even main events are virtually free (£10 a month on ESPN). Mind you, the weather does really suck :(

GG hustles him.
Training with Nog doesn’t give a decade long worth of BJJ experience with lots of it on world championship level. Good to see the master ther though.

But a true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies. - Kenny Powers

Who's the poor bastard
Who has to tell Han what happened to Chewbacca?
After a minor genealogical search, I have determined that Cain Velasquez's great-grandfather was a truck.
And Mirko Cro Cop is a direct descendant of a wrecking ball. But I think you already knew that.

I do worry about Bones skinny legs though. I'd hate to see another Corey Hill noodle leg situation that was one of the worst things I've ever seen.

Main event sucked proved nothing except that elbows need to be banned in MMA. So pointless.

No elbows should remain in MMA.
That was not a cut. That was straight devastation.

Ya a fucking elbow to the eye socket—how spectacular. Elbows almost NEVER knock ppl out but cause a lot of dumb stoppages. This was rarer but still unecessary.

jesus christ wtf is everyone talking about here like this was some amazing performance. He was doing jack shit on the ground until he landed a lucky elbow to the eye socket. That’s like being impressed with Sakara’s victory…eyes are vulnerable targets and I highly doubt he was aiming there.

No that's what you do when guys establish wrist control on you in unified rules.
You elevate and land it on right on their head. I was expecting it as soon as brandon went for it. Watch GSP do it all the time. frostn just admit you hate jones instead of bashing his abilities. How many guys have made vera quit like that.
by NNR (formerly NameNotRequired) on Mar 21, 2010 11:00 PM EDT up reply actions
not saying he did anything…neither fighter did anything up until then except for Jones’s wrestling, which is very impressive I’ll give you that. What I’m saying is aside from an elbow to the eye socket Jones was not looking like some amazing worldbeater
Anderson Silva is p4p the greatest fighter of all time, Fedor and GSP fear the mighty Spider
idk i gotta disagree
the only offense jones put on him, put him away. what more is there. He’s also proving to be a finisher.
by NNR (formerly NameNotRequired) on Mar 21, 2010 11:03 PM EDT up reply actions
ugh just acknowledge that it was an elbow landing on the eye socket, which he wasn’t planning to land there—which wouldn’t have finished the fight anywhere else, and I’ll be happy.

is that a yes? You can’t deny anything I said there
Anderson Silva is p4p the greatest fighter of all time, Fedor and GSP fear the mighty Spider
How do you know he wouldn't have jsut gnp'd him like hammil?
these what ifs won’t go anywhere. So for now let’s just admit that elbow to the eye = offense and you hate jones.
by NNR (formerly NameNotRequired) on Mar 21, 2010 11:17 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh so now we’re projecting what would have happened if he hadn’t landed on the orbital? True, you can’t say for sure but it was obviously the shot to the eye which hurt him and none of them were gonna KO him, and Vera is no Hamill on the ground.
I don’t hate Jones and I’d definitely bet on him over a lot of ppl who are “top 10” but this particular performance didn’t teach us anything new about him. I’d like to see him fight King Mo.
Anderson Silva is p4p the greatest fighter of all time, Fedor and GSP fear the mighty Spider
King Mo...what?
Jones is ready for a UFC TOP 10, not some unproven shmo from the minor leagues!
I wanna see
Bones vs Lil Nog!
Gimme gimme gimme!
How about Bones and T.Silva
I think Lil Nog is facing Forrest is he not?
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
Jones against King Mo would be interesting as neither of their
wrestling in getting top position would be a big advantage. But Mo isn’t 100% proven by any means as the fighters he has beat would get destroyed by Vera so far anyway.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
Not only offencively Jones has yet to be hurt his ability to avoid damage and be aggressive
IS amazing, Vera a very experienced fighter did nothing to Jones. It was another clear win against a top LHW fighter.

ok 3 outta 4 ain't bad..
roberts looked good for like 2 mins..then he got triple KO’d..grrrr damn underdog
the difference between a brown noser and a shit head is depth perception..
tragedy is lots of people got 4 outta 4..so i am not as on top as i was..i am gonna slip down a couple notches after tonight..shit
the difference between a brown noser and a shit head is depth perception..
What happened?
I lost my stream just as they were about to touch gloves and when it came back on Jones was putting his hat on and Vera was on the floor.
damn you missed the most vicious elbow in a while.
vera quit.
by NNR (formerly NameNotRequired) on Mar 21, 2010 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions
in guard with hands extended almost asking for an armbar...
Upkick by vera. Gets deducted a point and is restarted from same postion. Jones gets a solid base in guard. Vera grabs his wrist, Jones postures and slams a huge elbow. brandon turtles, minor gnp from jones, ref stops it as vera grabs his eye.

Yeah some explosive fighters!! What do you think is KO of the night
My pick would be Doomsday Roberts was F’d up!!
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
I say JDS because it meant more.
That emphatic KO has a lot more behind it, technically, and also in terms of its consequences for a division compared. But brutality wise Doomsday takes it.
by NNR (formerly NameNotRequired) on Mar 21, 2010 11:14 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't know JDS is higher ranked but Howard is fighting for status himself and with that KO
might bring Doomsday to main card status pretty meaningfull if you ask me.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
8 finishes in 11 fights
They weren’t all ideal, but I love to see the judges looking like the Maytag repairman
Cain vs JDS?! Sounds like a great fight to me
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
only fight that makes sense....
Put it on the same card as the Brock-winner(carwin mir) to set up the next title match.

Bones vs Tito (even better)
I just love seeing Tito get waxed. But it would be a good test of Bones’ ground game as Tito is much bigger and harder to take down and he has a hard-ass head.
Lil Nog is facing Forrest.
How about T.Silva?
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
Lil Nog vs Forrest is pointless
Give Lil Nog to Bones, and give Thiago to Randy, and Franklin to Forrest.
How about Jones vs Bader
Two wrestlers with KO power usually = exciting stand up fight.
