UFC Fight Night Live Coverage
The show starts at 7 PM CT. and we will have live round-by-round coverage throughout the night. Remember to refresh your browser for the latest.
The Televised fights are all in the Welterweight (170 LB) weight division.
Quick Predictions as apparently I was out due to Senshi kicking me in the face. I like: Sanchez, Parisyan, Koscheck and Shonie Carter to win.
First fight will be Shonie Carter and Marcus Davis as Rogan and Goldberg have run the card down.
Fight 1: Shonie Carter Vs. Marcus Davis
Nickname Battle Mr. International Shonie Carter Vs. Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis. I prefer Mr. International.
Goldberg calls season 4 of Ultimate Fighter memorable. I call him a liar. Apparently, Shonie Carter attracted a new legeon of fans from this show. That must be the reason for the low ratings, all the Carter fans decided not to watch.
Bruce Buffer made a screw up.
14-4 5'10, 171: The Irish Handgrenade Marcus Davis
81-16-7, 5'9, 171: Mr. International Shonie Carter
Buffer called this the Welterweight champ division, lol.
Referee: Big John McCarthy
Round 1: Carter is a former Marine so he gets the support of the troops.
The crowd is chanting something that sounded like "Fuck Him Up"
Marcus Davis is trying to submit Shonie Carter as he's got a full body triangle and a choke. Shonie escapes the choke and is working his way out of the triangle. This fight has been on the ground for a vast majority of round 1 so far.
The crowd starts to boo but then they erupt as Shonie finally turns the tables on this fight escaping the triangle. Shonie nails some nice elbows.
Scoring: Davis started strong and Carter finished the round strong. It was a good round overall, I give it 10-9 to Davis though.
As a side note, this crowd is really hot tonight. Thank god its not the Hard Rock in Vegas that's all I've got to say about that.
Round 2: Marcus Davis hurts Shonie Carter bad with a bunch. Carter was hurt by the jab of Davis and is still trying to recover. Davis nails some more rights and then a couple of leg kicks. He's handling the standup pretty well so far.
Carter is bleeding from the nose.
Crowd is not happy as the round ends as Shonie is clearly their boy.
Scoring: All Marcus Davis in the second round. I'll give it to Davis 10-8 so Shonie needs a win in round 3.
Round 3: Fans get behind Shonie chanting his name early hoping he can turn it around.
A Majority of the round was spent by me looking for something to drink to go with my pizza. Marcus Davis fought like someone who knew he was going to win.
Scoring: Tough to score as neither man really did much of anything to merit a win. I'll go Shonie 10-9.
My Card: Davis 29, Carter 27.
The Official Decision: 30-26, 29-28, 30-27 Marcus Davis
Rogan with Davis: Davis knew he had Carter hurt in the second round but Shonie is a tricky dude. For those wondering, Shonie didn't nail the spinning backfist. Marcus Davis thanks the troops and then his family to get the crowd back behind him.
Fight 2: Karo Parisyan Vs. Drew Fickett
Nickname Battle: Parisyan is the Heat. Fickett is the Master, I go with the Heat.
A Kurt Angle commercial airs talking about him coming to TNA tomorrow at 9 PM.
Fickett will have the crowd as he is also a former Marine.
Tale of the tape: Parisyan is 2 years younger and has the reach.
30-4, 5'10, 171: Drew "The Master" Fickett
23-4, 5'10, 171: Karo "The Heat" Parisyan
Curious that Fickett wasn't announced as a former marine like Carter was in the last fight.
Round 1: Karo nails a big right in the early part of the round. Parisyan's last fight was against Diego Sanchez and it was so awesome. Parisyan got hit in the groine or as Rogan said: "The Gonads".
Parisyan takes a bit to recover and we're back fighting.
The fight has been standing for most of this round. It was thought that Fickett would be the better striker but Parisyan is holding his own and beyond. Parisyan has had great success with the right hand. Fickett tries for a takedown late in the round but Karo has none of it.
Scoring: Round was on the feet for the balance and Parisyan did more damage. It was a 10-9 round.
Round 2: Parisyan starts off round 2 with a takedown of Fickett. Fickett is taking some shots from Parisyan.
Both fighters have been cut by elbows from the other. Parisyan is bringing the heat in round 2 that's for sure.
The cut on Parisyan is very bad but we are returning to the fight. The cut is under his eye so it is not obstructing his vision. Parisyan has side control as the fight resumes. A Big right from Parisyan.
We're back to a standup fight. Now Fickett scores with a takedown and then lands some elbows. Parisyan's cut is really bad.
Scoring: That's a tough round to score. The fans are going crazy. I give that round to Fickett 10-9 but it is very close.
Round 3: The announcers talk about how you score the first 2 rounds. This round is about half over at this point and nobody has done anything definitive at this point.
After that, Parisyan takes Fickett down but elects not to follow him down. Now Parisyan is on top of Fickett. Rogan decides to combine the 2 in to 1 fighter Karo Fickett. Maybe he'll eventually fight Drew Parisyan.
Final seconds of the round, and it is over.
Scoring: Parisyan did more to win this round than Fickett. I'll give it 10-9 to Parisyan.
My Scorecard: 29-27 for Parisyan. Though a 30-27 desision for Parisyan wouldn't surprise me as you could argue he won round 2. Great fight!
The Official Decision: 30-27 Unanimous Decision for Karo "The Heat" Parisyan
It looks like no interview which is too bad. It was an awesome fight with close rounds. The thing is that if you have 3 close rounds of fighting then a 30-27 doesn't have to mean a victory was dominant or anything.
Fight 3: Josh Koscheck Vs. Jeff Joslin
I can't believe we have another American Pie film. Wait, this is Hollywood, Yes I can.
Joslin is the Inferno and Koscheck is well...nothing. So Joslin wins the nickname battle. Joslin is making his UFC debut tonight.
Tale of the Tape: Joslin is 31 and Koscheck is 29.
5-2, 6'0, 169.5: Jeff "The Inferno" Joslin
9-1, 5'10 169.5: Josh Koscheck
Referee: Herb Dean
Round 1: Jeff Joslin has a decision over Jon Fitch who is undefeated in UFC.
Koscheck scored a takedown. They spend a lot of time fighting for control. Joslin has good defenses on his back and even nailed a nice right hand.
Herb Dean is close to standing the fight back up.
Scoring: I'll give this round to Koscheck 10-9. It was a technically sound round of fighting. Its not going to be onsidered as exciting as most rounds you'll see but it was technically sound. 10-9 Koscheck.
Round 2: Joslin is happy to have this fight standing. He dominated the standup but the Koscheck scored with a takedown. Joslin is doing a good job defending himself on the ground, he just needs to keep from getting taken there in the first place.
Herb Dean stands the fight back up due to inactivity. Koscheck scores with yet another takedown. Rogan says that Koscheck is a better wrestler than Matt Hughes. Koscheck was also compared to GSP earlier in the fight.
Joslin had Koscheck in trouble as the round ended.
Scoring: Another fun round, I'll give it again to Koscheck 10-9 because of the 2 takedowns even though Joslin did defend himself pretty well at first.
Round 3: Same story as the beginning of the prior 2 rounds. Joslin does well for himself standing, Koscheck goes for the takedown again and finds it again.
Crowd chants "Fuck him up" again and this time Spike tries to mute it.
Rogan: I think they're chanting something you can't say on TV. I think its something him up. I think it rhymes with duck.
Scoring: I give this round to Koscheck as well 10-9.
My Scorecard: Koscheck 30-27.
The Official Decision: Unanimous 30-27 decision for Josh Koscheck.
Fight 4: Diego Sanchez Vs. Joe
Nickname: Joe Riggs is the Diesel. Diego Sanchez is "Nightmare" but I call him "Dirty" because I'm lame that way. Just because Diego won't call himself "Dirty" Sanchez I give the name battle to Riggs.
Second TNA iMPACT commercial of the night.
Tale of the Tape: Diego has the reach.
28-8, 6'0, 170: Joe "Diesel" Riggs
18-0, 5'11, 169.5: Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez
Referee: Big John McCarthy
Round 1: Joe Riggs started out as a 300 LB heavyweight and is now fighting at 170. That's impressive.
Diego Sanchez knocked Riggs the Fuck Out! Right Hook and then a big knee.
We'll get the official decision after the break but that decision looked pretty official to me.
The Official Decision: 1:45 R1 via KO: Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez
Rogan with Dirty: Diego thanked God and said he's improved in his striking. Well the way he humbled Riggs he should be thanking Jesus and Mr. McMahon.
If Diego gets a title shot against GSP this could be a big fight. He says that he'll get a title shot when God's will says he will get one.
The Televised fights are all in the Welterweight (170 LB) weight division.
