ufc-118 round by round

Thanks Flash.

I am a fan of both sports and to me they both have their place. Quite frankly Couture is one of my heroe's but boxing would be my favourite sport!!!

 

Mike Pierce def. Amilcar Alves via submission (cross-body armbar) - Round 3, 3:11.


:?

 

It's a fight so anything can happen. But I realistically give Toney a 1 in 50 shot.

I think he will tap as soon as he goes to the floor as he will know it is over!!!

 

damn it..

either way im cheering for toney to get in that punch..man the ufc fans will be pissed of toney scores a knockout..randy i dont will get submitted

but randy's gas tank should be a concern for his fans..

 

NICK OSIPCZAK VS. GREG SOTO

R1 – Osipczak pops Soto with two great combinations in a row that snap his head back, but he keeps moving forward and gets a takedown on the Brit. Soto working some ground and pound from the top, as Osipczak defends while throwing some elbows from the bottom. Soto moves to side control, and as Osipczak is scrambling, he's able to hit a sweep and get back to his feet. Osipczak continues to move forward and lands the more effective strikes, but Soto avoids any real damage. Soto goes for a takedown, and the Brit catches him with a whizzer, but they don't hit the ground, and the fight stays standing till the end of the round.

R2 – Soto has a good-sized cut that causes some concern between rounds, but he's allowed to continue. Osipczak smells blood in the water and comes out swinging big to open the round and catches Soto early, but he scrambles and ends up taking the Brit's back, and almost locks in a rear naked choke. Osipczak rolls and Soto ends up in his half guard. Soto continues to pepper away at Osipczak's head and body on the ground and then moves to take wrist control, but then gives it up to work more strikes instead. Osipczak rolls, and almost gives up his back again, but scrambles and gets back to his feet, but the round ends.

R3 – Soto lands a huge double leg takedown to start the round as the Boston crowd roars in approval. Soto stands up and tries to drop a bomb from above, doesn't land it, but does ends up in side control. Soto starts unloading big knees to the body of Osipczak. Soto is just smothering Osipczak, who has no answer for the ground control from the New Jersey fighter. Osizczak rolls and Soto ends up in mount with a head and arm choke, but the Brit is okay, and motions a thumbs up to the referee. Soto gets creative and starts dropping knees to the body and then moves to mount, and starts dropping bombs. Osipczak rolls again, and Soto batters him from the top, dropping vicious elbows, but the Brit survives the round. Dominant finish for Soto.

Sorry had to put that in large text to show the riddiculousness of it.

Even at 47 Randy Couture has better cardio than 99.9% of atheletes. For freakish fitness in an old man he makes b-hop look like an amateur!!!

 

-JOHN SALTER VS. DAN MILLER

R1 – Salter and Miller come out swinging early with both fighters happy to stand and trade. Both land some heavy shots as they exchange punches. Miller goes for a kick, and Salter grabs the leg and lands a takedown. Miller working a high guard, kicks his hips out and looks for an armbar, but Salter backs out and then jumps back down. Miller puts his feet on Salter's hips and kicks out, and stands back up. On the feet, both fighters land some good strikes, but Salter shoots in again and takes Miller down as the round closes.

R2 – On the the feet, it's an even exchange once again. Salter shoots in on Miller, and he locks on a tight guillotine choke as it goes to the ground. Miller rolls into a modified anaconda/guillotine choke, and locks it on even tighter, and Salter is forced to tap.
