UFC 164 MAIN CARD COMMENTARY PLAY-BY-PLAY (PPV):

Braiterman here all evening long!

Ben Henderson vs. Anthony Pettis

Round one: Main event time and the crowd is LOUD. "Smooth" in white, "Showtime" in blue. I'm just saying this now, if Ben gets the win and pulls a toothpick out of his cornrows or beard, I'm gonna lose it. Herb Dean has the ref assignment and there's no glove touch either. Ben takes center and backs Pettis up. He drives in for a takedown, eating a couple punches while doing so and they clinch. Bendo grabs a single and tries, but fails to get Pettis down. Crowd with loud "let's go Pettis" chants, while one lone female fan responds with "let's go Benson!". They break, but not for long, as Ben tries another takedown that backs Pettis to the wall. They clinch again with Ben landing a couple of knees to the leg. Uppercut from Ben. They break, Pettis gets in a right, they clinch again and Ben gets in more leg strikes. Front kicks to the calf from Ben in the clinch - doing anything he can to slow up Pettis' movement in the later rounds. 1:50 left and they separate. Pettis with a body kick. Step in knee to the left side of Ben's body and two more, make that four more body kicks to that same spleen area. Pettis tries a capoeira kick that Ben steps forward before it can land. Makes it a takedown. Pettis throws his legs up and... BEN HENDERSON TAPS! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION! HOMETOWN HERO ANTHONY PETTIS HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

Final result: Anthony Pettis wins via submission (armbar) at 4:31 round 1

Barnettt surging forward and punching Frank back. Mir landing rights over the top. Josh backs Mir into the cage and hits a couple uppercuts. Mir circles out briefly, but is backed into the fencing. Another good uppercut from Josh. And another. He's pulling out Carwin's gameplan here. Elbow from "Warmaster". And a knee. Mir is getting tagged here, but seems lucid. ENORMOUS KNEE! MIR DROPS LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES! The ref stops it and Mir climbs up, protesting the stoppage, but he went limp there, so shrug.

Final result: Josh Barnett wins by TKO (knee) at 1:56 round 1

UFC 164 FOX SPORTS 1 PRELIMS PLAY-BY-PLAY (FS1):

Gleison Tibau vs. Jamie Varner

Round one: Lavigne the ref, Tibau in red, Varner in white. Big inside leg kick from Varner - and another. Tibau in the center and Varner circling. Left from Tibau on the counter. And yep, another. Tibau weaves away from a Varner punch. Tibau checks a kick. Straight left from Varner lands solid, but Tibau blinks it away and tries a flying knee. They're circling now, not doing much.

They scramble to the cage wall and Varner tries to wall walk, but eats a left for his troubles. He does stand, but Tibau has the back. Varner with some back elbows to finish up the round.

Close round, hard to call. In fact, I won't say for either man. 10-10

Round two: The first big event of the round is Tibau going for a takedown with Varner trying to jump on a guillotine. Tibau pops his head out and starts working on maintaining top control while slipping in some ground and pound while hunting for an arm triangle. Tibau trying to pass, and Varner tries to scramble, but Tibau is too good at BJJ and mounts him. Varner rolls, but Tibau stays on top and is raining down shots. Jamie rolls again to mount and this is only slightly better. More punches, more struggling and rolling, but Tibau isn't giving up his position on either the back or in mount. Varner trying to use the cage to kick off, but is unsuccessful. Varner trying to tie up Tibau, to some success, but he's still in an awful situation.

Easy 10-9, possibly 10-8 for Tibau

Round three: Varner coming out firing, but after that initial salvo, they go back to plodding and stalking. Right from Varner. They exchange rights. Varner surged forward with a strike and Tibau timed it perfectly with a successful takedown. Varner however, stands and separates from Tibau. Body shot from Varner and a right from Tibau. Varner is trying to exploit Tibau's always questionable cardio with those body shots. Single from Tibau is stuffed. Right and a left from Tibau and a left from Varner. Tibau is losing energy by the minute. Varner with a takedown of his own. Varner with lefts and elbows in half guard. 90 seconds left. GNP from Varner as he's trying hard, but he doesn't seem to have the power in these shots to really damage Tibau here. He's landing well, but Lavigne isn't coming in on any of these. Tibau kicks him off near the end and the fight's over.

10-9 Varner. This will come down to round one and possible 10-8's in the second.

Final result: Gleison Tibau wins via split decision (29-28 x2, 28-29)

Tim Elliott vs. Louis Gaudinot

Round one: Gaudinot in black, Elliot in white (like you can't tell the difference between a green-haired, swarthy man and a pale dude with a huge beard). Herb Dean is the ref. Elliott with the double-handed eye-poke and we've got an early pause. Left from Elliott and a takedown. Scramble and Elliott in side control, then gets put into half. Elliott with a guillotine attempt that Louis fends off. Elliott with some great punches to the body. Louis kicks Elliott off and stands. Flying knee from Elliott and a punch from Gaudinot.

Elliott rolls for a kneebar at the end of the round the gets a Mutombo finger wave from Gaudinot, but that's about all he's got for Elliott at this point.

10-9 Elliott, borderline 10-8

Round three: Kick from Gaudinot, but Elliott lands a nice single-leg with just fifteen seconds expired in the fight. Half guard, and Elliott is getting in good shots. Gaudinot gets to the cage and stands... but to no avail. Tim has him down again and is dropping punches and elbows like they were going out of style. Gaudinot has had no answer all fight and is just getting pounded on. Tim is fighting like someone's playing him on Xbox and is spamming the elbow button. A brief look for a Kimura from Elliott and he goes back to hitting his heavy bag.

10-8 Elliot.

Final result: Tim Elliott wins via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26 x2)

-end-

Pascal Krauss vs. Hyun Gyu Lim

Round one: Lim in blue and Krauss in green/white. I wonder if Rogan will tell us the story about him rolling with Lim and getting housed. Rob Hinds is the ref. A leg kick from Krauss is greeted with a right hand from Lim. Krauss lands a leg kick this time. 2-3 from Lim and Krauss fires back. Lim whiffs on a couple of hooks. Big rips from both guys and I'll guess that Krauss got the better by the way that Lim's head snapped back. Lim catches a Krauss kick, dumps him and lands a nice left, but lets him stand up. Jab from Krauss. Lim slips to his right and lands a hook. Both of their footwork is close to non-existent, as they're just punching face with abandon. Lim dips right this time and Kraiss misses. Huge right from Lim and Krauss has no legs. He just falls over. Krauss gets up again, but still can't stand straight. Lim is getting in big punches here as Krauss is wobbly. ENORMOUS knee from Lim and Krauss collapses down. A few perfunctory punches to seal the deal and the ref steps in.

Final result: Hyun Gyu Lim wins via TKO (knee and punches) at 3:58 of round 1

Chico Camus vs. Kyung Ho Kang

Round one: Kang wins the walkout-music battle with "We're Not Gonna Take It". I say this before Camus even walks out. Ben Askren sighting, as he is in Camus' corner.

Very fast-paced, great grappling round so far. Camus shoots for an omoplata and lands a good right to end the round.

10-9 Kang

Round two: Kang with great timing again on the duck-under and scores the takedown early. Camus is doing a great job scrambling, but Kang is doing an equally great job of staying on top and throwing punches when he can. As I type that, the FOX graphic shows 29 ground punches from Kang so far. Thanks, FOX. Kang in guard, hitting some small GNP here. Big right from Kang as he postures up. Camus with a nice upkick, but Kang follows it down into side control, into mount, then back to half guard as Camus defends again. Kang tries to pass from half, but fails. If Kang is looking to finish, I'm not sure why he keeps trying the mount - Camus escapes it every time. Kang passes to side, but Camus regains half and escapes as Kang tries a poor armbar. Camus on top now in guard. Passes to half and lands an elbow. Full again. They're up against the cage now and Kang tries to wall walk. Camus keeps him and vaguely gets Kang's back in a scramble. Camus with some GNP and back to half guard. Camus with a left and the round ends.

10-9 Camus

Round three: Kang with a couple kicks that get blocked. Camus with the low ankle pick that doesn't get. Good right hook from Camus. They're standing and wanging! Right from Kang and a jumping roundhouse to the body. Another right from Camus on an exchange. This might be Camus' fight to win if he can stuff this takedown, but he doesn't. Kang's shot was lightning quick, and he managed to finish it. Kang in half landing some short shots. Camus tries to get full guard, but can't. Kang seems to be trying to ride this out, but there's a lot of time left. Camus regains full exactly halfway through the fight. GNP from Kang and he postures up and lands a nice left. Half again with two minutes to go. Camus kicks him off when he tries to posture and they're standing. Kang slips a right. Good knee from Camus, but Kang gets a takedown and full guard here. Camus pressures him off, but Kang sinks back down again with 25 seconds left in this fight. BIG upkick from Camus and the momentum's shifted on a dime! Camus with some huge GNP as Kang struggles to hang on. Five seconds! Camus trying, but Kang grapples him to keep from eating too many shots. The horn sounds, and Camus might've stolen victory from the jaws of defeat!

10-9 Kang - close as hell, but Kang had control for a good 4 minutes of that round.

Final result: Chico Camus wins via unanimous decision (29-28 x2, a bizarre 30-27)

Ryan Couture vs. Al Iaquinta

Round one: Not a single mention of papa Couture on the UFC intro for this fight. Not really a surprise to anyone, I suppose. Iaquinta in the blue & white trunks, Couture in red. Yves Lavigne the ref.

A jumping knee lands solid for Couture, but Iaquinta lands another solid punch. Jab, high kick for Couture. Takedown at the end leads to a couple good seconds worth of ground and pound for Iaquinta.

Close round, I'll say 10-9 Iaquinta, but it could be either way.
