DEEP 57 IMPACT RESULTS: Amanda Lucas Wins Openweight Title in Japan - 2/18/12

2012-02-19T08:54:00.001-05:00

Amanda Lucas in REVENGE OF THE SITH

DEEP 57 Impact was held Saturday, February 18, 2012, at the Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

Amanda "Powerhouse" Lucas, daughter of STAR WARS creator George Lucas, won her fourth straight MMA fight with a submission victory over Japanese pro wrestling star Yumiko Hotta, who last fought in mixed martial arts in 2000. Hotta proved to be no push-over, though, and made Lucas work for this victory. Lucas was finally able to put away the Japanese fighter in the third round with an Americana.

In the main event, DEEP Lightweight Champion Mizuto Hirota won his second straight fight since coming back from a horrific broken arm against Shinya Aoki. Hirota won a unanimous decision over Seichi Ikemoto, although once again Hirota took a lot of damage in the process, as he did in his last fight, a decision win over Katsunori Kikuno.

DEEP Megaton Champion Levan Razmadze and DEEP Featherweight Champion Kazunori Yokota both successfully defended their titles. Takafumi Otsuka was the only fighter to lose a title at DEEP 57 Impact. Otsuka fell victim to a second-round choke from new DEEP Bantamweight Champion Yoshiro Maeda.

CAGE WARRIORS 45 RESULTS: Bobby Brents Submits BJJ Black Belt Rogent Lloret in London, England - 2/18/12

2012-02-19T03:58:00.000-05:00

Cage Warriors Fighting Championship held CWFC 45: Lloret vs Brents on Saturday, February 18, 2012, at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town, North London, England, United Kingdom. The main card streamed live on MMAjunkie.com.

In the main event, five-foot-nine American heavyweight Bobby “Zombie” Brents submitted six-foot-three Spaniard Rogent Lloret. During the pre-fight hype, Bobby Brents expressed anger at the betting odds, which had him as a significant underdog, and said that the only way Lloret was going to beat him was if Lloret brought a gun with him into the cage. Brents’ words rang true, as he dropped Lloret with a big right hand near the end of the first round, secured side control and applied an arm-triangle choke. Since Lloret had no gun with him to defend himself, he had no choice but to tap out. Brents has lost only once in his last 13 fights, to current UFC heavyweight Stipe Miocic in the NAAFS.

With this victory, Bobby Brents has established himself as one of the independent circuit's top heavyweight fighters. Another win could get Brents an invitation to fight in the next Bellator heavyweight tournament later this year.

The co-main event, a match-up of an American wrestler and a British brawler, played out the way one would expect this formula to play out. James “J.P.” Reese used his superior wrestling to repeatedly take down Brad Wheeler and earn a clean sweep unanimous decision from the judges.

Chris “The Killing” Fields advanced to the semifinals of the Cage Warriors Middleweight Tournament with an opening-minute headkick victory over Jack “The Stone” Mason. Chris Fields will fight John “The White Mike Tyson” Phillips in the semifinals.

John Phillips was given a bye into the semifinals after his original Cage Warriors 45 opponent, Tony Machado, withdrew from the tournament due to a back injury. The other side of the semifinal brackets features Cage Warriors Fight Night 3 quarterfinal winners Faycal Hucin and Victor Cheng.

With the full consent of the UFC, Chandella Powell had moonlighted as a Playboy Bunny while she worked for the UFC, and she had also posed for the magazine in the past. But Mariah Ashton, it seems, went a bit further with her modeling career.

Chandella Powell had been Octagon-side since late 2009, after Logan Stanton and Natasha Wicks were unceremoniously dumped by the UFC. Now, only Arianny Celeste and Brittney Palmer remain, the latter of which, ironically, will be gracing the cover of Hugh Hefner’s legendary men's magazine next month.

2/18 UPDATE: Chandella Powell released the following statement via Twitter:

When you are young, you often don't realize that your actions have consequences. I made a bad decision about ten years ago, but you learn from these moments. There is nothing I can do to change the past, and believe me, if I could, I would. That decision doesn't represent who I am today. All I can do now is put the past behind me and move forward. I am sorry to disappoint any of my fans and my family at Zuffa. I love you guys :)

SCC 4 RESULTS: Kendall Grove Chokes (Literally) in UFC Comeback Bid - 2/16/12

2012-02-17T02:45:00.001-05:00

Superior Cage Combat held SCC 4: Grove vs Silva on Thursday, February 16, 2012, at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC President Dana White was in attendance, as was UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, who was cornering Paulo "Bananada" Goncalves Silva. ProMMANow has the play-by-play.

In the main event, a match-up of former UFC middleweights, Jay Silva choked out Kendall "Da Spyder" Grove in the second stanza after dazing him with a big punch early in the round. Silva went 0-2 in his UFC stint and would love to get a third shot inside the Octagon. Grove, who won The Ultimate Fighter 3 in June 2006 and then fought exclusively for the UFC for half of a decade, had put together back-to-back wins in ProElite since being released from the UFC. Now Grove will have to start all over again.

This win over Kendall Grove alone likely won't be enough to propel Jay Silva into the UFC, given he is coming off a loss in his last fight, although it certainly is the biggest win of Silva's career.

John "Guns" Gunderson became the inaugural SCC Lightweight Champion with a third-round submission victory over Team Alpha Male's Justin Buchholz. After a couple of back-and-forth rounds, John Gunderson caught Buchholz with a kimura after initially being taken to the ground by Buchholz.

TUF 11 alum Jamie "The Chosyn 1" Yager won his fourth straight fight with a clear-cut unanimous decision victory over former Strikeforce fighter Danny "The Rapper Slash Scrapper" Davis Jr. Jamie Yager lost his lone UFC bout to Rich Attonito at middleweight, but with a drop to welterweight and a 4-fight winning streak, the flamboyant, love-him-or-hate-him Yager is making it hard for the UFC not to give him a second chance.

The fighter most likely to be signed by the UFC from this event is lightweight Paulo Bananada. The Anderson Silva-trained Brazilian won a decision over a very solid fighter in Dominique "Fallen Angel" Robinson. Bananada has now won 11 straight fights, with this one being the biggest of them all.

Another fighter who will likely be UFC-bound after this event is featherweight Brandon Bender, who improved his perfect record to 9-0 with a submission victory over Marlin "Shorty the Pitbull" Weikel. Shorty's only other loss in his last 9 fights was to current UFC featherweight Bryan Caraway.

Heavyweight Walt "Big Ticket" Harris knocked out previously undefeated Anthony Hamilton. To kick off the show, Xtreme Couture prospect Jimmy "Rabbit" Jones scored a late submission victory over Joao Victor.

MATCHMAKER: UFC on Fuel TV 1: Sanchez vs Ellenberger - Fallout from 2/15/12 - What Fights Should Happen Next?

2012-02-16T04:31:00.001-05:00

Now that UFC on Fuel TV 1: Sanchez vs Ellenberger is in the record books, where do the fighters go from here? I'll suggest fights for all of the combatants on the fight card, both winners and losers from every fight.

This article uses only fighters who are not currently booked in an Upcoming Fight. Unless otherwise noted, all of these match-ups are just speculation using some good old-fashioned edumacated guessing.

Fighters in RED competed at UFC on Fuel TV 1.

Let the speculation begin.

Next oughta be...

Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Condit, Part II

Outside of UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre, Jake Ellenberger and UFC Interim Welterweight Champion Carlos Condit have the best UFC winning streaks in the UFC's 170-pound division. GSP is currently recovering from surgery due to a serious injury and will be back later this year at the earliest. In the meantime, with Nick Diaz currently in timeout due to his positive weed test, Condit could defend his interim title against Ellenberger in a rematch. Ellenberger’s lone UFC defeat was by a split decision to Condit.

Diego Sanchez vs. Mike Pierce

Neither man was able to get past Josh Koscheck. Nearly a decade ago, Diego Sanchez got dominated in a decision loss to Koscheck. Earlier this month, Pierce lost a very close split decision to Koscheck. UFC President Dana White went on record to say he thought Pierce had beaten Kos. Give Pierce another go at a UFC legend in Sanchez.

Stefan Struve vs. Shane Del Rosario

Shane Del Rosario is an undefeated prospect who moved over from the now-defunct Strikeforce heavyweight division. Surely, Stefan Struve would love to welcome Del Rosario to the UFC.

Dave Herman vs. Matt Mitrione

Battle of the self-deprecating funnyman giants. Pee Wee Herman versus Meathead Mitrione.

Ronny Markes vs. Ed Herman

Ronny Markes was able to outwrestle a collegiate All-American in Aaron Simpson. Can he outfight a certifiable badass in Ed Herman?

Aaron Simpson vs. Dan Miller

These two middleweight veterans have fought a who’s who list of 185-pound fighters, but surprisingly have not fought each other.

Stipe Miocic vs. Mike Russow

Stipe Miocic is undefeated at 8-0, while Mike Russow has won 11 straight fights. Something would have to give.

Phil De Fries vs. John-Olav Einemo

Probably the two best grapplers in the UFC heavyweight division not named Fabricio Werdum. Both have struggled against strikers in the UFC. Let them hug it out against each other.

TJ Dillashaw vs. Ken Stone

Team Alpha Male’s T.J. Dillashaw seems destined for greatness. Next on the agenda should be Ken “Stepping” Stone.

Walel Watson vs. Alex “Bruce Leeroy” Caceres

Walel Watson got wrestlef-cked into oblivion against TJ Dillashaw, but Watson showed he can be an exciting striker in his previous fight with Yves Jabouin. Although his UFC record is now 1-2, hopefully, Watson will get one more chance to prove himself. Stylistically, a match-up against fellow unorthodox striker Bruce Leeroy should produce fireworks.

Ivan Menjivar vs. Renan Barao

For bantamweight number one contender status. Renan Barao is right on the edge of 135-pound title contention, but could use one more big win over an established veteran like Menjivar to truly solidify his deservingness of a UFC title shot.

John Albert vs. Jared Papazian

Both fighters proved scrappiness despite losing in their last fights. One gets a new lease on life in the UFC, while the other gets his UFC walking papers.

Jonathan Brookins vs. Charles Oliveira

Both former lightweights are ready to break through in the featherweight division. The winner of this fight would earn his way into the upper echelon of 145-pound fighters in the UFC.

Vagner Rocha vs. Leonard Garcia

One of Vagner Rocha’s two UFC losses was to Leonard Garcia’s teammate (and roommate) Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. This fight would give Vagner a chance for vengeance against the badass brawler Garcia.

Justin Salas vs. Ramsey Nijem

Which wrestler can prevail?

Anton Kuivanen vs. Tommy Hayden

Both lightweights lost in their UFC debuts and cannot afford to lose another fight in the UFC’s most crowded division.

Tim Means vs. Michael Johnson

Two underdog fighters who continue to surprise in their respective MMA evolutions.

Bernardo Magalhaes vs. Mitch Clarke

Bottom-of-the-barrel bantamweight bout.

UFC ON FUEL TV 1 RESULTS: Ellenberger Fends Off Late Rally by Sanchez, Struve TKO's Pee Wee Herman in Omaha - 2/15/12

2012-02-16T00:43:00.000-05:00

The Ultimate Fighting Championship held UFC on Fuel TV 1: Sanchez vs Ellenberger on Wednesday, February 15, 2012, at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska. The main card aired live on FUEL TV. The undercard streamed live on the UFC's official Facebook page.

In the main event, Jake "The Juggernaut" Ellenberger improved his current UFC winning streak to 6 straight fights with a unanimous decision victory over UFC veteran Diego "The Dream" Sanchez. Ellenberger's lone UFC loss was by split decision to current UFC Interim Welterweight Champion Carlos Condit. With UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre expected to be on the shelf for most of 2012 recovering from surgery, Condit-Ellenberger II for the interim 170-pound title would seem to be a logical fight for later this year, despite UFC President Dana White's recent remarks that Condit would wait for GSP.

Jake Ellenberger almost let this victory against Diego Sanchez slip way. After Ellenberger won the first two rounds on the scorecards, a bloodied Sanchez came out in desperation-mode in the third and final round. Sanchez let his hands go more, and was able to catch Ellenberger with some big shots that had him also bleeding. Sanchez was on top of Ellenberger on the ground, pounding away at him with punches and trying to find an opening for a choke, when the final bell rang. Since Sanchez only dominated the latter part of the third round, no judges scored the round 10-8, and thus Ellenberger won by decision since he had clearly won the first two rounds. This fight needed five rounds.

Stefan "Skyscraper" Struve, the UFC's tallest fighter at 6'11", scored a second-round TKO victory over eccentric heavyweight Dave "Pee Wee" Herman. Struve, whose lanky frame makes him more vulnerable to knockouts than most fighters, was able to find his groove in the second round, after spending most of the first round fighting defensively. Struve was able to mount Herman in the second round, which he had also done in the first round. But this time, Herman was not able to escape. Struve commenced to rain down punches until the referee stopped the fight.

Former light heavyweight Ronny Markes won an incredibly close decision over Aaron Simpson in a middleweight bout. Ironically, the Brazilian fighter was able to use a couple of key takedowns to sway the judging in his favor against the American wrestler.

Heavyweight Stipe Miocic improved his undefeated record to 8-0 with a first-round knockout victory over Phil De Fries, who had also never lost in MMA before this fight. Now he has. And viciously. Stipe Miocic ate a few punches from De Fries to start the fight, but walked right through them like a man on a mission. Miocic clobbered De Fries with a series of right hands to finish the fight at the 43-second mark of the opening round.

The Ultimate Fighter 14 runner-up T.J. Dillashaw took out all of his frustrations for not winning TUF 14 on fellow bantamweight Walel "The Gazelle" Watson. Dillashaw proved to be a true lion in this fight, using his advanced wrestling pedigree to pounce on Watson over and over again with takedowns. To his credit, Watson can sure take a beating. He survived this fight despite having been completely dominated by Dillashaw. Watson spent almost all of this fight fending off submission attempts and being repeatedly cracked on the skull by Dillashaw.

The FUEL TV telecast kicked off with a Submission of the Night-winning performance from Ivan Menjivar. For a recap of this action, and to read about the night's other bonus winners, see our UFC on Fuel TV 1 Bonuses article.

UFC ON FUEL TV 1 BONUSES: $50K Bonus Payouts for Stipe Miocic, Ivan Menjivar, Jake Ellenberger & Diego Sanchez 2/15/12

2012-02-16T00:12:00.001-05:00

The UFC awarded a total of $200,000 in bonus money to 4 fighters for performances at UFC on Fuel TV 1: Sanchez vs Ellenberger, held Wednesday, February 15, 2012, in Omaha, Nebraska.

After every UFC event, Zuffa officials pay out bonuses to fighters based on exceptional performances. These bonuses are paid in addition to the contracted salary or fighter purse of each honored athlete.

The awards for Fight of the Night went to headliners Jake "The Juggernaut" Ellenberger and Diego "The Dream" Sanchez. The two welterweights painted a masterpiece in the 3-round showpiece of the inaugural Fuel TV event. Ellenberger used his size and strength advantage, along with superior striking, to bully Sanchez for the first two rounds of the fight. Sanchez, knowing he was down on the scorecards, came out more aggressive and reckless in the final round. The gamble paid off for the short term, with Sanchez finishing the fight on top of Ellenberger, having put a hurting on him. Sanchez wasn't able to finish, though, so it was too little, too late. Jake Ellenberger was awarded the unanimous decision victory.

This is the fifth Fight of the Night honor for Diego Sanchez, to go along with 2 Fight of the Year awards, in what was his seventeenth UFC fight. Sanchez's unlimited cardio and never-say-die fighting attitude have made him one of the most entertaining fighters in the history of the UFC.

Knockout of the Night went to heavyweight Stipe Miocic for his 43-second KO victory over the previously undefeated Phil De Fries, who surprisingly started off the fight by catching Miocic with a couple of big shots. The monstrous Miocic was able to eat them, though, and kept coming forward to destroy De Fries, a grappler who was simply outgunned in this match-up with Miocic, a real-life Terminator.

Submission of the Night went to Ivan Menjivar for his amazing come-from-behind tapout victory over John "Prince" Albert. At just 29 years of age, Menjivar is a Canadian MMA pioneer who has been fighting professionally for over 11 years. John Albert is coming off a recent stint on The Ultimate Fighter 14, so there was a drastic difference in experience in this fight.

Midway through the first round, John Albert caught Ivan Menjivar with a headkick that put the El Salvadoran-born bantamweight onto queer street. Albert threw a barrage of punches and knees that had Menjivar covering up, first against the cage and then on the ground. In his post-fight interview, Menjivar said that during these moments of peril he was thinking about what the legendary Kazushi Sakuraba would've done. And then he did it! By the grace of the referee, who was on the verge of stopping the fight, and sheer willpower, Menjivar survived Hurricane Albert. In the process of throwing the kitchen sink at Menjivar, Albert completely blew his load. Menjivar was able to reverse positions. After taking some ground and pound of his own, Albert, whose eyes clearly showed defeat, gave up his back. Menjivar sunk in a rear-naked choke to seal the deal on his miraculous comeback victory.
