Yo UFC FANS: Scroll down below this post for the UFC Anderson Silva vs James Irvin Results...
Well a lot of people didnt realize that tonight was also the Affliction Banned event put on by Afflication aka Randy Couture and Donald Trump - that's right the trumpster w00t - anyhoo Fedor Emelianenko fought Tim Sylvia in the main event and he destroyed him in less then a minute - basically striked him onto the ground then took his back and choked him - but the fight was over from the strikes really.
We saw the return of one of my favorite fighters from the past - Vitor Belfort. I was really hoping he was gonna win - frank trigg was saying how this is a new vitor etc etc so he isnt going to go nuts like he did back when he was young in the UFC and smoked Wanderlei Silva. Fight started out slow then wammo vitor nailed terry martin with a vicious flying knee - then hit him with an uppercut then a straight left hand and put him through the ropes - lol pwnage.
Also was nice to see Josh Barnett be victorious and bring some flair to the event with his samarai like spirit.
Anyways here are the offical results:
Fedor Emelianenko defeats Tim Sylvia via submission (rear naked choke) in round one
Arlovski defeats Rothwell via technical knockout (strikes) in round three
Josh Barnett defeats Pedro Rizzo via knockout in round two
Babalu Sobral defeats Mike Whitehead via Unanimous Decision
Matt Lindland defeats Fabio Nascimento via Unanimous Decision
Paul Buentello defeats Gary Goodridge via unanimous decision
Vitor Belfort defeats Terry Martin via TKO (Strikes) Round 2
Mark Hominick defeats Savant Young via Submission (Armbar) Round 2
Rogerio Nogueria defeats Edwin DeWees via TKO (Strikes) Round 1
Mike Pyle defeats JJ Ambrose via Submission (Rear Naked Choke) Round 1
All in all it was a great stacked card - but it was too long with too many commercials - having megadeath playing live was cool but only if you are a fan of them which I was not lol - Big John McCarthy needs practice on his telecasting - he was so hyper he was yelling in the fighters faces when he was interviewing them. And also he kept calling Vitor Belort "Bellfert"... lol dude its BELL FOUR the T is silent - I guess he didnt get the memo.
Also it was hella cheesy when they were announcing all the celebs in attendance instead of just panning to them etc - they only panned to like 2-3 people like tito ortiz and jenna. The funniest part though was when they panned to Donald Trump and behind him to the left was Michael Madsen and they never mentioned him lol. He has been in about 100 movies lol like Kill Bill and Resevoir Dogs etc etc.
