RONY JASON vs JEREMY STEPHENS
Rony Jason, entering the octagon looking to take his UFC record to 4-0, is the first to throw. He begins with a flying knee followed by a right hook. He again is first to throw in the next exchange, oooohhhhhhh my!!!!! Wooooowwwwwww! Rony Jason attempts a right hook, in doing so he leaves himself open and Jeremy Stephens lands a huge left head kick that leaves Jason motionless on the canvas. What a way to get the Main Card underway, with a spectacular knockout!
Jeremy Stephens wins by KNOCKOUT at 0:40 Round 1
RYAN LaFLARE vs SANTIAGO POZINIBBIO
Pozinibbio takes control of the center of octagon as we begin. But its LaFlare, that begins the better, getting the takedown and moving straight to mount. Santiago gets out of the position, but Ryan is able to keep the fight on the mat. Ryan again moves to the mount and looks for an arm triangle, he can't quite secure it and then looks for an arm bar he gives up his position in doing so. Santiago scrambles to get back to his feet, but even on the feet it's Ryan who's having the better of the fight. End of the round and it's LaFlare's.
LaFlare begins the brighter in the 2nd, he shoots for Santiago's hips and gets the takedown, good scrambling allows Pozinibbio to get back to his feet and Ryan lands some good knees on the way up. Back on the feet Santiago looks tired, his punches don't have the same venom as Ryan and LaFlare looks to pick him off. Hold on, here comes Pozinibbio, he lands good strikes that backs Ryan up, LaFlare throws a couple of his own and sensing a momentum shift, hits the double leg. The round finishes there with Ryan in side control, attacking the body of Pozinibbio. LaFlare probably did enough to get that round as well.
Ryan against begins the better, throwing a good body kick. Pozinibbio is again looking fatigued with his striking and LaFlare is throwing the better combos. Huge slam from Ryan, he moves straight to side control and begins to land good elbows, he's attacking the body as well. Once again Santiago scrambles and gets back to his feet. Oooohhhhh huge kick from LaFlare, it sends Pozinibbio crashing, he looks for the finish but somehow Santiago survives. To the feet we go again, ooohhhh a huge uppercut from Santiago sends LaFlare to the mat, he is able to recover quick enough though and as Pozinibbio looks land a big shot on the mat LaFlare pulls off a great sweep to get into side control. That's where the fight ends. We should see all 3 rounds go to Ryan LaFlare as we go to a decision.
Ryan LaFlare wins by Unanimous Decision (30-27 all round)
BRANDON THATCH vs PAULO THIAGO
Thatch trying to live up to the hype, is aggressive from the outset, throwing plenty of combos. It's Thiago who gets the takedown though, Brandon gets up and lands the better blows. Oooohhhhhh a huge left knee to the liver from Thatch sends Paulo down and into the fetal position. He taps as soon as he hits the mat, he looked to be in a huge amount of pain.
Brandon Thatch wins by Submission (strikes) at 2:10 Round 1
RAFAEL 'FEIJAO' CAVALCANTE vs IGOR POKRAJAC
What a start! These guys literally charge at each other and swing! After these early exchanges both guys settle and Pokrajac gets Feijao to the clinch. Rafael moves off the cage with his Muay Thai grip behind Igor's head and begins to land knees to the face. One, two, three, four, Igor slumps to the ground, Feijao moves to land the killer blow, but it's all over, Igor is tapping. Another finish on a great night of fights.
Rafael 'Feijao' Cavalcante wins by Submission (strikes) at 1:18 Round 1
CEZAR FERREIRA vs DANIEL SARAFIAN
Fast start here, both guys darting around the octagon looking for an opening. Sarafian gets Ferreira to the clinch, but doesn't do a lot from there. Cesar, clearly the bigger fighter, gets an under hook as he looks to move off the cage. It's not much longer though before Mario Yamasaki (the ref) moves in to break it up and it's back to the center of the octagon. Both guys are trading from here without landing anything really significant, Ferreira even tries a flashy Capoiera kick, but it misses and on we go. Sarafian throws with bad intentions every time, but with Cezar being so big he is finding it difficult to land. The round closes with Ferreira landing good blows, probably Sarafians, just.
The second begins with a beautiful double leg to Cezar, in Daniels guard Ferreira looks to land ground and pound, he's now opened a cut on Sarafian above his right eye. Daniel does well to get to his feet and lands a beautiful combo that staggers Cezar. Ferreira recovers easily and shoots for the takedown before Sarafian can move in. Cezar moves into a beautiful position from guard and is looking for the arm triangle but in a strange move the ref moves in and breaks them up. The round ends in the clinch. Cezar's round without a doubt.
Daniel charges straight to the center of the octagon and lands a nice straight right. Sarafian moves to the clinch and as Ferreira exits Daniel lands a great combo. Cezar doesn't look fazed in the slightest, he takes Sarafian down again and goes straight to side control. He's looking to exhaust Sarafian from here peppering away at Daniel with body and head strikes. Sarafian is really trying hard to scramble and escape, but Cezar's control is too good, once again the ref strangely stands them up. Up they go and down they go, Cezar again gets the power double leg, this time though he's able to transition to back mount with Sarafian standing. He working away on the rear naked, squeezing, squeezing, the bell rings. End of the fight with Cezar in a dominant position. He should get the decision 29-28.
Cezar Ferreira wins by Unanimous Decision (28-29, 30-27, 30-28)
VITOR BELFORT vs DAN HENDERSON
Touch of the gloves and here we go. A very slow start, with both guys trying to feel each other out. Hendo throws the first strikes, he misses and Vitor lands a huge left uppercut, down goes Hendo!!! Belfort pounces he's all over Dan, Hendo gets to his feet and Victor lands left head kick!!! Ooooohhhhhhhhh!!!! Hendo is out!!!! He has tremendous recovery skills and looks to be alert as the ref stops the fight, but he was out. It's over!
Vitor Belfort wins by KNOCKOUT at 1:17 Round 1
