10-9 Randy

2nd - Pedro drops Couture in the opening exchange with possibly one of the hardest leg kicks Ive ever seen, or heard as the sound echoed around the arena as Randy flopped to his knees. randy tries to go for a leg whilst he's on the mat, but Pedro sprawls and the both hang out on the ground for a while until Pedro decides to stand back up.

Randy attempts two left leg kicks of his own, the lethargy in which they swing forward makes it clear how much damage Pedro did, and Randy shoots in but Pedro lowers his centre of gravity and pushes him back.

Randy presses forward, but eats a jab, another leg kick and a hard upper cut to his chin for his troubles which visibly stuns him as Pedro circles away. Randy attempts to shoot again but has not power in his lead leg to push forward and close the distance. Pedro pushes him back and Couture is prone on his knees on the mat as Pedro steps in with a huge swing with his right hand which misses it's mark by millimetres. Pedro backs away after a brief clinch on the ground

Randy has trouble getting back to his feet at this point, look very tired and almost out on his feet. Pedro now lands leg kicks at will, four or five very heavy shots followed up by combinations of punches and kicks, and knocks Randy down to his knees to close out the round

10-9 Pedro

3rd round Randy opens up off the bell with a straight right, then both men looking bloodied circle for a for the rest of the opening minute. Randy gets an underhook with his left and fires 3 quick uppercuts which all find their mark and shoots for the double as Pedro back up. Rizzo sprawls well and gets back to his feet.

Randy, even though he's on the mat relentlessly presses forward trying to grab a hold of Pedros leg but to no avail as Pedro walks away and Big John orders Randy back to his feet Randy shoots for another failed TD attempt & Rizzo swings a hard kick seemingly aimed for the body whilst Randy is still on his knees, Couture complains and Big John warns Rizzo no kicks to the head.

McCarthy calls time and Randy hobbles over to Dan Henderson in his corner so that the Doctors can see to the blood that is stemming from his nose

Action is restarted on the feet and Randy finally gets the single leg and winds up in Rizzo's guard. Rizzo ties up Randy with double underhooks and wraps his legs round to control his posture and whilst both men are neutralised. They seemingly in tandem take a few very deep breaths Randy works his arms free but is unable to mount a serious offense barring a few punches which dont connect. This turns into a battle of control as Pedro grabs Randys wrists and the only serious offence Randy is able to mount is a half hearted tap to the forehead of Rizzo. But he control the majority of the round

10-9 Randy

4th-Cautios opening 30 seconds from both then Randy steps in with a straight right but eats a heavy left counter. Couture pushes forward tagged Rizzo with another right and initiates the clinch. Randy throws 3 unanswered uppercuts as Rizzo answers with knees. Randy picks up the pace and keeps finding a home for that right hand as Pedro cant pummel out. Clinch is broken and Randy eats two heavy rights as he presses forward for the clinch. Randy keeps pressing forward for the TD but keeps eating heavy punches from Rizzo for his troubles as Pedro backs away. 3 minute mark and Pedro lwg kicks then sprawls against the on coming Couture and the both end up in a familiar position of Randy face down on his knees and Pedro on top. Pedro lands a few light strikes then gets back to his feet. Randy fires a leg kick, Pedro replies with a thud AGAIN Randy eats a punch as he goes for the TD but this time he gets it and lands in Side control. Randy lands a few weak punches and ends up in Rizzos guard when Pedro tries to sweep back to his feet. He lands a few more weak punches to close out the round 10-9 Randy 5th - Rizzo moves forward now but Randy slips his punches well with Rizzo on grazing him with a left. Rizzo throws a leg kick, Randy shoots for unders but Rizzo pushes him off Now it's Randys turn to press forward. He connects with a leg kick, fires a few punches and shoots for a leg as Rizzo backs up. They end up in north south both facing the mat AGAIN as Rizzo sprawls Rizzo gets up and takes the centre of the cage, both are cautions. Randy misses widely with a haymaker right. Rizzo connects with a leg kick. Randy punches and shoots, guess what position they end up in...Rizzo decides to take a breather and throws a few punches which bloody up Randy Back to the feet now, circle for a while, Randy shoots and misses. Both are circling, looking exhausted with a minute left. Pedro connects with a leg kick, Randy presses forward, Rizzo punches and circles away. 30 sec left and Rizzo connects again with a stiff jab as Randy presses forward as Rizzo fresher footwork dictates the range. Rizzo connects with a HEAVY leg kick again and Randy buckles to the mat and finishes the last 5 seconds raining punches at a defenseless Couture 10-9 Rizzo 3-2 to Randy. Pedro won his rounds more clearly and did more damage, but couldnt handle Randy's wrestling when he got him down. Good fight

Great Breakdown! I felt like I was watching the fight again.

I had to put that sentence in bold. I hate to point out typos in an excellent post, but I found that one amusing.

[Stoo]

Haha I was drunk...

IMO, Edgar won it !!!

Ahhh, I didn't see the fight but heard it was a robbery many times. Not sure if it could've been a competitive fight as I didn't see it so I guess I'll take your words for it lol.

Rd 1
Love the way Aldo mixes up his attacks. So versatile. He would get a hook or uppercut to the gut then attack Hominick’s right leg. Forget what I said about him being reckless the word is explosive but somehow he manages to time his assaults patiently. Out struck him standing and dominated on the ground with elbows and punches from the top. Aldo clearly won.

Rd 2
Hominick started much better and was able to get solid left hooks in and stuff a couple TD attempts. Got the jab and straight going and it took Aldo quite some time to figure out how to get Hominick on the ground with a takedown and strike him in general. Aldo did well from 2 mins and on but Hominick got his shots in before being taken down again. Hominick rd as he controlled most of it.

Rd 3
Hominick again outkickboxed him again but Aldo did better in the stand up than previously and hit him with harder shots imo. Aldo looks more fatigue than he did in these rds opposed to rd 1 so the weight might have affected him. Hominicks’ timing is a problem for him throughout but after he got rock Aldo pounced on him and changed the momentum. Aldo rd but before he rocked Hominick with the right hand it was back and forth.

Rd 4
Momentum still in Aldo’s favor. Clipped him with his patent leg strike to the left leg and rocked him with a right cross I assume? Just continued to outstrike him but got warned for knees to the groin area which look unintentional to me. Left hook to the body and righ leg kick to the left leg dominated this rd along with superb head movement from Aldo. Won the rd very convincingly.

Rd 5
Props to Hominick for fighting on that bump on his head looked grotesque and those leg kicks would’ve had me crying like a bitch. He went out like a warrior bloody face and all and gave it what he could once he finally took Aldo down. Thought Hominick dominated the rd with his GnP.

Aldo 3-2
He looks very vulnerable for an elite champion imho but he gives great fights and the experience will only help him. Could be a stamina issue but despite that he’s fun to watch and one of the best strikers now. Will see his nxt fight with Koch. In the 4th they said his fav fighters wer Chuck and Rizzo so that makes me wanna do Rizzo research to see if he got part of his style from him. I know Chuck and seen Chuck’s exciting fights so anyone have Pedro Rizzo suggestions?

Watched Michael McDonald vs. Chris Cariaso. Gotta say, I think Cariaso won it at least 29-28. Very close fight, but I thought that Cariaso was pretty much doing better work the whole time.

After the way that Cariaso handled Josh Ferguson, I think he will be a real force at 125. He was too small at 135, and he still looked pretty damn good.

[Vic-JofreBRASIL]

Can´t remember who is this guy Cariaso

Watched the Belfort-Ortiz "Super Saturday" main event and found it interesting while making my rd summaries.

Rd 1- I guess you could give it to either fighter. Great grappling vs striking rd. Ortiz held much more dominate positions but Belfort was still firing back off the cage with knees and stunned him with his blistering handspeed a time or two. Maybe not enough to give him the rd so I go with Ortiz though oddly I preferred how Belfort fought more despite that. Gotta leave bias to the side when judging.

Ortiz rd 10-9 scoring I presume? Okay, Ortiz 10-9

Rd 2- Belfort reversing Ortiz' grappling attempts and does a nice sprawl. Rains down elbows and fists while Ortiz looks for a more comfortable spot. Gets and armbar attempt but Belfort breaks out fast to go on to get back to his punches from the top position. Another submission(guillotine) fails for Ortiz as he is still at the bad end of momentum. Both men look tired after being told to stand up. Ortiz ends the rd on top but clearly lost that rd

Belfort 10-9


Rd 3 - Ortiz starts the rd with a kick that look good but not sure if it landed. Belfort looks to counter a takedown attempt by Ortiz but gets taken down while Ortiz maintains a dominate position from the top. Hated when wrestlers only wanted to take you down in UFC 2009 game BTW. Ortiz establishing his patented GnP while Belfort looks like he can't find a way out. Ortiz shifts him towards the cage to limit the chance of him escaping while Belfort of course tries to do the opposite. They're told to stand up and Ortiz goes for a double leg takedown but only succeeds in pressing him against the cage. Soon he uses the momentum to "bounce off" the cage to turn belfor around and drop him facing the center of the octagon. He rains down elbows and punches to finish the rd.

Ortiz 10-9



Winner: Ortiz 29-28

Close fight it depends on if you like dominate grappling or damaging punches in the 1st rd. Good fight. Soon I hope to break down a Pride fight within the end of this year but those will be really short summaries if I chose to do so.

[Vic-JofreBRASIL]

Gomi was so good in the PRIDE days......just watched his fight with RAlph Gracie.....nice!

[Vic-JofreBRASIL]

Btw, in PRIDE they didn´t score the rounds, right ? It was one scorecard for the whole fight ??
I always watch PRIDE scoring the rounds like in the UFC......don´t think it changes too much tbh since the winner will almost always be the same guy with any of those criterias..

[Stoo]

We should all watch an event at the same time...

[Stoo]

Igor v Bobish. 90% of the fight Bobish used his size advantage well, but a few Igor right hands were the perfect remedy

Best weapon in MMA ever imo, Igor is a beast when he unloads

[Vic-JofreBRASIL]

Going to watch PRIDE 7 probably tonight.
