[No More Sorrow]

Couldn't find the entire press conference for this show, but i found a highlight video for it.

[No More Sorrow]

Had a good night of UFC action, hoping Strikeforce tomorrow night goes the same way.

I'll be on gif duty to catch any lesbianish situations in the main event.

:

Pretty good prelims so far, Ryan Couture got a good win.

 

[The Cork]

Fuck, didn't know it was tonight.......brain fart.

brb, going hunting on UStream.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I'd help out with a stream, but I've got Showtime on my TV. And i never have any luck with good streams.

 

[The Cork]

Havent got the innanet at home right now so got no choice but to use the UStream Android app anyway mate.

Soon as I've got a decent one I'll join in the fun.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Here's the prelim results, main card starting at in about 15 mins.

Ryan Couture def. Conor Heun via TKO (strikes) - Round 3, 2:52
Ryan Healy def. Carlos Fodor via submission (arm triangle) - Round 3, 3:35
Roger Bowling def. Brandon Saling via TKO (strikes) - Round 2, 1:15
Sarah Kaufman def. Alexis Davis via majority decision (29-29, 29-28, 29-28)

Kaufman/Davis was a great fight, one of the best WMMA fights I've seen.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Ronaldo Souza def. Bristol Marunde via submission (arm-triangle choke) - Round 3, 2:43

Okay fight to start of the show, it was nothing to special Souza's sriking has really improved and it was nice to see him get the win honestly, he also called out Luke Rockhold after the fight for a rematch for the championship, so that's something to look forward too the next few months.

Coming up next, Lumumba Sayers vs. Scott Smith.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Lamumba Sayers def. Scott Smith via submission (guillotine choke) - Round 1, 1:34

Quick fight, Smith originally had a guillotine on Sayers but he got lifted in the air and slammed to the mat. Sayers then put in his own Guillotine and got the win. Because of how the submission was put on and the circumstances , I'd say this was a pretty decent fight.

Next fight; Paul Daley vs. Kazuo Misaki

 

[No More Sorrow]

Kazuo Misaki def. Paul Daley via split decision (30-27, 28-29, 29-28)

Daley looked like complete shit in this fight seemed like he had no idea wtf he was doing , it was disappointing congratulations to Misaki though.

Up Next ; K.J. Noons vs. Josh Thomson

 

[No More Sorrow]

Josh Thomson def. K.J. Noons via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Thomson didn't look to good in this fight, but KJ Noons looked horrible here. Thomson likely will take on Gilbert Melendez in his next fight, Melendez also did commentary for this fight. After the fight Thomson said this fight was shit, and he was sorry for not coming into it more ready.

Up next; Miesha Tate vs. Ronda Rousey

 

[No More Sorrow]

Rousey wins via arm bar, about 45 seconds into the fight Rousey had the arm bar on and it was as clear as day that Tate's arm dislocated , but she kept coming back for more and more and wouldn't give up, but eventually she got put back in the arm bar and had no choice but to tap out.

Really good fight, back and forth grappling, unfortunate that Tate's arm was broken or dislocated but still, overall pretty decent fight and finish to a pretty alright card. Daley losing sucked but every other fight was pretty good including the prelims, tons of action on this card looking forward to Strikeforce's next card.

Speaking of that..

Strikeforce's next event May 19th, Daniel Cormier vs. Josh Barnett in the finals of the heavyweight grand Prix, really looking forward to that show.

[The Cork]

Gutted I missed this.

Not that pleased with the outcomes though, looks like Daley is on real thin ice now. Was rooting for Miesha but Rousey isn't that bad, just really dumb. Her armbar is getting a trademark as much as Palhares' heel hook.

I love Josh Thomson but he has less than 0% chance of beating Melendez.

Oh and yeah, really looking forward to the GP Final, lets go Barnett.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah that Armbar is nasty, fact that she has 5 first round submission wins using that is crazy.
