SHO XC 9 MAIN CARD RECAPS:
Dave "Pee Wee" Herman (11-0) vs. Kerry "The Meat Truck" Schall (21-10)
Fight recap: "Pee Wee" surprisingly came out trying to use his legs with kicks and knees. He got a little too comfortable at one point and Schall drilled him with a huge right hand. Apparently that woke Herman up, and he came right back at Schall with more viscious knees and strikes. One of the knees hit Schall in the groin and he immediately fell to the mat. The referee missed the illegal shot - surprise surprise - and Herman pounced on him and pounded him out. Herman probably would have scored the win regardless, but hopefully this ref doesn't get anymore main event work - or any work for that matter - until he can get some more training. He made Steve Mazz look like Big John tonight. Anyway, another solid win for "Pee Wee" puts him right at the top of the list for a shot at Antonio Silva's heavyweight crown.
Final result: Dave "Pee Wee" Herman defeats Kerry Schall via technical knockout in round one
Anthony "The Recipe" Lapsley (12-3) vs. Mike Stumpf (8-4)
Fight recap: Lapsley came out looking to show off his Muay Thai skills in the first round. He landed some big knees and kicks before finally getting Stumpf to the ground where he worked some nasty ground and pound to easily take the first round. He worked an identical gameplan in the second and third rounds en route to a majority decision win. It should have been a unanimous decision, but somehow one of the judges scored the bout a draw. Some questionable scoring there. Regardless, Lapsley got the nod. Stumpf took some hard shots in the fight and proved to be a game competitor, but Lapsley's aggressive style and overall athleticism was too much. Lapsley was very impressive in the win despite not getting the finish. Expect to see a lot more of him on future Elite XC fight cards.
Final result: Anthony "The Recipe" Lapsley defeated Mike Stumpf via majority decision
Jason Guida (17-17) vs. Mamed "Cannibal" Khalidov (14-3-1)
Fight recap: Khalidov attempted a beautiful rolling knee bar attempt out of a standing clinch to start the fight. Guida escaped and tried to stick to his gameplan of takedowns and ground and pound, but Khalidov kept pulling rabbits out of his hat with high level moves like spinning back fists, roundhouse upkicks, back kicks, and plenty of knees, elbows, and punches to boot. The terrible refereeing on the night continued in this match as Guida took elbows to the back of the head that went unnoticed by the official - one of which cut him in the first round. At one point Guida's mouth piece went flying, and somehow the referee couldn't find it. Guida was exhausted, and refused to use a different one, probably because he was trying to get his breath back. It was very odd to say the least. Eventually the official located the missing mouth guard, and within seconds of the restart Khalidov was all over Guida again with an array of unanswered shots. Guida wasn't fighting back, so the fight was stopped. Amidst all of the confusion, Khalidov displayed an excellent set of skills in the dominating win.
Final result: Mamed "Cannibal" Khalidov defeated Jason Guida via technical knockout (strikes) in round two
Alexander "Storm" Shlemenko (21-3) vs. Robert "Bubba" McDaniel (11-4)
Fight recap: As expected McDaniel took the fight to the mat right away. Shlemenko immediately looked to capitalize from his back with a kimura, but the crafty McDaniel worked his way out of the hold. Once he freed his arm he took complete control of the fight with dominate positions on the ground and a slew of submission attempts. Near the end of the round the Russian made his way back to his feet and with seconds remaining landed a gorgeous flying knee to McDaniel's body. McDaniel fell right to the mat, and he was in obvious pain as the bell rang. The ref looked confused and thought McDaniel had suffered a groin shot, but replays showed the knee hit squarely on the body. McDaniel was given the chance, but was not able to continue and Shlemenko grabbed the knockout win.
Final result: Alexander "Storm" Shlemenko defeats Robert McDaniel via technical knockout (knee to the body) in round one.
Lyle "Fancy Pants" Beerbohm (7-0) vs. Rafaello "Trator" Olivera (5-0)
Fight recap: Oliviera came out of the gates super aggressive. He scored a takedown right away and was able to work some strong ground and pound along with numerous submission attempts from there. Beerbohm recovered late in the round, and turned the tides a little bit by scoring a few slams of his own. He took a top position and landed a nasty elbow that cut the Brazilian wide open. Oliveira made it through the round, but the cut was way too deep for the cageside doctor to allow him to continue. After the fight Beerbohm called out the winner of Diaz and Alvarez saying it didn't matter which one he faced because he'd beat either. Some pretty ambitious comments coming from a guy who just won a fight on a cut after not doing much else the entire match.
Final result: Lyle "Fancy Pants" Beerbohm defeats Rafaello Oliveira via technical knockout (cut) in round one
Next up for Elite XC is "A Night of Champions" on November 8 on Showtime featuring at least two world title fights. See you there.
