Bobby Green vs Matt Ricehouse

 

Round 1

 

Bobby Green putting out a good deal of striking, getting some good punches and knees and scored a good takedown to get the round 10/9

 

Round 2

 

A lot more of the same in round 2, Green scoring the better striking and doing the damage and another takedown near the end of the round, looking for a choke but Ricehouse gets out of it and winds up in the clinch to close the round.

 

10/9 Green for damage and takedown

 

Round 3

 

The takedown comes early this round. Green continues the damaging strikes, highlights including a good body kick right before the takedown and a good jump kick to a knee. Ricehouse to his credit has stuck in it this entire fight, but that's a moral victory at best. 10/9, 30/27 Green.

 

Judges score it, 30-27 for Bobby Green

Hiroko Yamanaka vs. Germaine de Randamie

 

Round 1

 

Its been back and forth for the first few minutes, Germaine looking for the big right hand. Yamanaka scoring her own and the connections are about the same, but Germaine seems to be hitting the harder shots. They clinch up and Yamanaka shows the takedown at the 1:30 mark with nothing on it.

 

10/9 Germaine for damage, but could go either way with how judging goes.

 

Round 2

 

Striking edge is still Germaine's, settling in to some easier shots while mixing in the power. YAmanaka clinches up early and hunts for the take down for a few minutes with nothing doing while Germaine scores arm shots. Germaine scores a couple more power shots between combination exchanges and the power shots continue between strikes from Yamanaka to the end of the round.

 

10/9 Germaine, dmaage and striking

 

Round 3

 

In case you didn't know, they do have low blows in woman's mma. Yamanaka scored a low knee in the middle of the round that got some recovery time for it. Germaine continues to score the good striking while Yamanaka fails with the takedown attempts. Germaine starts releasing the kicking game at the end of the round and scores a beautiful front kick to the face, really sealing the round for her, 10/9 and 30/27 for the fight.

 

Judges score it, 30/27 all for Germaine De Randamie

Linear Knee Strikes

 

After a discussion prompted by the Silva-Leites bout, the Committee reviewed the issue of linear strikes to the knee joint and agreed that this technique should remain a legal technique.

 

Amagov wins by tko.

Miesha Tate vs. Julie Kedzie

 

Kedzie Starts the round with good strikes and stuns Tate early. Both regain their composure and Tate starts hunting for takedowns. Kedzie is making her pay for each attempt before Tate locks onto an arm looking for a lock of some sort. Kedzie keeps it off and they go back to standing where Kedzie continues to score points and sprawl takedowns. KEdzie gets one more knockdown with a side kick to the chest, but winds up in a sub attempt that's fended to the end of the round

 

10/9 Kedzie for striking and damage.

 

Round 2

 

This one goes to the ground early with Kezie looking for a triangle, then an Omoplata. Tate fends it all off and eventually takes the back, slipping a RNC in quickly, but Kedzie gives up mount to defend. Tate tries an arm triangle but the position isn't there. THey scramble and Tate tries a guillotine that isn't there, eventually both make their way to the clinch against the cage. Elbow exchange and TAte shows the double leg.

 

10/9 Tate for takedowns, and grappling.

 

Round 3

 

Kedzie kicks the leg early and Tate's leg buckles as she goes down. Kedzie lets it back up and they exchange some more shots before another leg kick and then a head kick that has Kedzie thinking this one is hers. Tate stays composed and works to an armbar position and rides the arm for a few minutes before eventually getting the position and the leverage to get the tap.

 

Tate wins by armbar submission.

Ovince St. Preux vs. TJ Cook

 

Round 1

 

Ovince scores the early damage, flash ko'ing Cook. Cook rides out the damage and gets power shots of his own. Eventually it makes it to the ground and Ovince looks for sub and has position to the end of the round.

 

10/9 Ovince

 

Round 2

 

Much slower round, bu Ovince doing the damage and getting the ground work again. Its getting closer and closer to 10/8 range and one or two judges are going to start scoring it for Ovince that way.

 

10/9 Ovince.

 

Round 3

 

BOOM HEADSHOT. Ovince scores it quick and scores it early with the left hook.

 

Ovince wins by KO in round 3

Lumumba Sayers vs. Anthony Smith

 

Good striking exchange through most of the round. Each getting their licks in before Smith goes down form a shot and baits Sayers to the ground, locking up a textbook triangle that has Sayers tapping in quick fashion.

 

Smith wins by Triangle Choke Submission.

Pretty good card overall. I think Rousey better be careful what she wishes for though. Cyorg is a beast and I think could slam her way out of an armbar like that.

yea actually thought it was better than last couple ufc cards or as good for sure --- cyborg is a beast of a bitch but she has also been subbed before (kneebar) -- i just dont know if she could make 135 though

Kinda lame for her to call someone out then demand they lose weight. Its easier for her to eat a cheese burger than it is for Cyborg to have a testicle removed. If you call someone out dont hide behind the weight class. Great performance. Its a shame femlae MMA is 20 years behind the mens and doubt it will change ever. But still makes for fun finishes.

Cyborg already said she was willing to move down.

Reminder that Cyborg pulled mount on Carano.

Ronda Rousey looks like a female version of Fedor, she's doing judo and boxing, she beats the shit out of her opponents

the difference is that she's doing a lot of trash talk and she's not practicing sambo
