UFC 94 Results

Georges St. Pierre def. B.J. Penn by fourth-round TKO*

Lyoto Machida def. Thiago Silva by first-round knockout**

Jon Jones def. Stephan Bonnar by unanimous decision

Karo Parisyan def. Dong Hyun Kim by split decision

Clay Guida def. Nate Diaz by split decision

Undercard:
Jon Fitch def. Akihiro Gono by unanimous decision
Dan Cramer def. Matt Arroyo by split decision
Jake O'Brien def. Christian Wellisch by split decision
John Howard def. Chris Wilson by split decision
Thiago Tavares def. Manny Gamburyan by unanimous decision

*GSP and Penn fought a pretty even 1st round, with the advantage to St. Pierre, but the next 3 rounds were all GSP. The welterweight champ took B.J. down and did some serious ground and pound. Penn has probably never been in the position his entire career. Give him credit for surviving 3 rounds of beating by St. Pierre. At the end of the 4th round the doctors looked at Penn and the Hawaiin's corner said enough is enough.

When the fight was over Thiago Alves went in the ring. Therefore those who wanted another super fight of GSP vs. Anderson Silva will have to wait at least as long as a St. Pierre vs. Alves fight.

**This was as close to a buzzer beater as you could get. Of course if Machinda didn't make the Knockout Shot he just would have gone to round 2, but just a tick before the clock sounded Lyoto landed a damaging blow to Silva. The ref went in to say the 1st round was over, but alas so was Thiago's night.

UFC 94 will be remembered for the super fight and the super performance of St. Pierre against Penn. But look at all those decisions and split decisions at that. Certainly Karo Parisyan and Clay Guida should both be thankful for their results. They could have easily been losers. Pretty good card overall though, February will provide some free fights, with a Fight Night and UFC 95. Nothing jumps out at me. Diego for Stevenson I guess.

Keep reading the Brief, and spread the word. Send us an e-mail as well. Besse and I would like to get a "mail-bag" type thing going as well.

Affliction Day of Reckoning Results

This weekend marked the 2nd show for Affliction. With Tito Ortiz as a guest announcer for the card take a look at the results:

Fedor Emelianenko defeated Andrei Arlovski by KO at 3:14 in the first round.

Josh Barnett defeated Gilbert Yvel by submission at 3:14 in the third round.

Vitor Belfort defeated Matt Lindland by TKO at :37 of the first round.

Babalu Sobral defeated Thierry Sokoudjou by submission at 2:36 in the second round.

Paul Buentello defeated Kiril Sidellnikov TKO at 4:18 in the third round.

Dan Lauzon defeated Bobby Green by submission at 4:38 in the first round.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira defeated Vladimir Matyushenko by TKO at 4:26 of the second round.

L.C. Davis defeated Bao Quach by unanimous decision.

Albert Rios defeated Antonio Duarte by unanimous decision.

Brett Cooper defeated Patrick Speight by TKO at 4:10 of the second round.


Fedor retains his WAMMA Heavyweight belt, and will likely fight Josh Barnett next. Vitor Belfort will shoot up the middleweight ranks following an impressive victory over Matt Lindland. Babalu vs. Lil Nog a possibility? Both victorious on Saturday.

UFC 94 is this weekend with GSP vs. B.J. Penn II. Also Thiago Silva vs. Lyoto Machida, a battle of unbeaten light heavyweights, should be a solid card.

UFC 88 Results

Rashad Evans def. Chuck Liddell via violent KO - 1:51 of round 2
(You'll see this next on Ultimate Knockouts 6. Watching this on TV you had no idea how long it took the Iceman to get back to his feet. This was vicious. He was out. Not until after Rashad's interview by Joe Rogan did you see Hackelman and the rest of Liddell's corner holding him up ala Weekend at Bernie's or dare I say Weekend at Bernie's II. Just unbelievable. Who fights Forrest now for the Light Heavyweight title? We shall see.)
