MAIN PPV CARD

Fight #7:
-Patrick Cote vs. Alan Belcher

Round 1: Good back and forth first round. Cote started off good, landing some good punches and staying aggressive. Belcher came on strong in the second half of the round, scoring a lot of good kicks, mainly body kicks. They hit the floor at one point. Cote had a near kimura attempt, but ended up losing position trying to finish it. Belcher had a near arm triangle but couldn't finish it either.

Round 2: Crazy ending. Both guys were standing and trading ferociously. They were clinched against the cage and Belcher just picked up Cote in a powerbomb position and just donkey kong'd him face-first on the mat. As soon as he hit the mat Belcher immediately got Cote's back and sunk in the rear naked choke for the tap out. After the fight Cote complained about being spiked on his head, which is illegal. Joe Rogan sees the replays and says the slam he suffered wasn't against the rules. Crowd boo'd the finish.

Fight #8:
-Kimbo Slice vs. Matt Mitrione

Round 1: AMAZING first round. Mitrione looked smoother on the feet early but Kimbo landed the first important punch. Kimbo donkey kong's Meathead twice – I'm talking enormous slams. Mitrione had two very close triangle chokes. Insanely close. Mitrione hurt Kimbo near the end of the round and almost had a gatar roll submission. 10-9 Mitrione.

Round 2: Mitrione just destroyed Kimbo in this round. Completely tore him apart in every possible way. Was brutalizing Kimbo with leg kicks to the point that Kimbo would turn his back and show clear pain in his face. He eventually knocked Kimbo down with kicks. Once on the ground, Mitrione seemed to lack the ability to finish Kimbo, but ultimately unanswered ground and pound was enough for the ref to call it.

Matt Mitrione def. Kimbo Slice via TKO (strikes) at 4:24 of Round 2.

Fight #9:
-Sam Stout vs. Jeremy Stephens

Round 1: Good first round. Looks like this is gonna be a fun fight, which is no surprise. Stephens should get the round 10-9 easy. He landed the harder shots, and more of them. Twice during the round he hurt Stout with punches, with one of those even putting Stout on the deck. Stout landed some effective strikes too, some good leg kicks and body punches. Still, not enough. Stephens hit a cool spinning back-fist at one point too.

Round 2: Slower round. Likely another round for Stephens. The story of the fight seems to be both guys landing a lot of shots, but Stephens lands the harder ones and the ones that cause opportunities in the fight. Stephens hurt Stout early in the round with some shots and followed up nice. Stout started to get back into the round more but Stephens closed the round out as well landing some good, solid shots.

Round 3: Very interesting round. Started off the same as the previous two with Stephens busting Stout up early. He busted Stout's nose with a knee to the face at one point. The round got interesting when Stout hit a kick on Stephens that changed the rest of the fight. The kick hurt so much that Stephens stopped dead in his tracks and winced in pain. Stout took full advantage and nearly finished him up. Crowd went berzerker mode for that series of action. Each guy finished strong to end the round.

Jeremy Stephens def. Sam Stout via Split Decision (30-27, 29-28, 28-29) after 3 Rounds.

Fight #10:
-Josh Koscheck vs. Paul Daley

Round 1: Controversial first round. Koscheck was controlling the round good. He was taking Daley down at will. While on the ground, Daley got a reversal and got to his feet. As Koscheck went to get up, while still on his knees, Daley threw a knee to Koscheck's face. Koscheck over-sold the shit out of it and the replay clearly shows it didn't even touch him. Not even a little bit. There was discussion of a point being deducted but it was confirmed between rounds that a point was not taken.

Round 2: Pretty boring round. Koscheck got Daley down early and proceeded to lay on him and do a whole lot of nothing for the majority of the round. Near the end of the round Koscheck was able to get Daley's back. He tried going for a rear naked choke but he couldn't pull it off. The round ends. Daley needs something big in the third if he wants to win this.

Round 3: Another terrible round. Crowd boo'd for most of the round. Daley tried putting some punches together early but couldn't get anything of significance going. Koscheck eventually got a takedown and spent most of the round in full mount unable to do anything with it. The final 10 seconds or so, you could visibly see Daley on the bottom yelling at Koscheck and being very frustrated. The horn sounds, as they go to get up and walk away, Daley hits Koscheck in the face with a cheap shot. The ref, Dan Mirgliota seemed to overreact a little bit in my opinion while restraining Daley. That was quite the incident. Dana White won't be happy.

Josh Koscheck def. Paul Daley via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) after 3 Rounds.

Fight #11:
-Lyoto Machida (c) vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (UFC Light Heavyweight Title)

Round 1: Great round. Shogun was hitting Lyoto more than anyone else does the entire time. Lyoto had two takedowns but Shogun worked hard getting back to his feet fast. The finish came when Shogun hurt Lyoto with a punch. He knocked him down, Shogun jumped on Lyoto and got full mount. He pounds Lyoto 100% unconscious. Total knockout. Justice!

Mauricio “Shogun” Rua def. Lyoto Machida via KO (punches) at 3:35 of Round 1 to become the new UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.
