UFC 110 Results

UFC 110 Results - Preliminary Card
Light Heavyweight Bout: James Te-Huna vs. Igor Pokrajac
Te-Huna defeated Pokrajac via TKO (strikes) at 3:26 of round 3.
Middleweight Bout: C.B. Dollaway vs. Goran Reljic
Dollaway defeated Reljic via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).
Welterweight Bout: Chris Lytle vs. Brian Foster
Lytle defeated Foster via submission (kneebar) at 1:41 of round 1. This bout aired on the PPV broadcast following the Jardine vs. Bader fight.
Light Heavyweight Bout: Stephan Bonnar vs. Krzysztof Soszynski
Soszynski defeated Bonnar via TKO (cut) at 1:04 of round 3. This bout aired last on the PPV broadcast following the Nogueira vs. Velasquez fight.

UFC 110 Results - Main Card
Heavyweight Bout: Mirko Filipovic vs. Anthony Perosh
Filipovic defeated Perosh via TKO (doctor stoppage) at 5:00 of round 2. Cro Crop looked really strong in this fight with really good take down defense. His ground game also looked really impressive. He really looked strong on the mat with his strikes and the one forearm strike he landed ultimately ended the contest.

Light Heavyweight Bout: Keith Jardine vs. Ryan Bader
Bader defeated Jardine via KO (punch) at 2:10 of round 3. Keith Jardine looked really good in the beginning of the fight but his hands dropped considerably as it moved on. Ryan Bader has really good strike ability and showed it with the quick left hand to end the fight. What’s next for Jardine and after his 3rd loss in the row? Bader really impressed and showed why is he was the TUF 8 winner.

Lightweight Bout: Joe Stevenson vs. George Sotiropoulos
Sotiropoulos defeated Stevenson via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). I don’t think anybody saw this coming with George really stepping his game up and putting on a show against Joe Stevenson. George looked really fluid in his strikes and Joe looked really tentative on what he wanted to do. It was an impressive win for George and he almost finished the match with an arm bar.

Middleweight Bout: Wanderlei Silva vs. Michael Bisping
Silva defeated Bisping via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). Another impressive match by these two fighters. Silva’s strikes were really strong and fluid and rocked Bisping a few times. Bisping held out in the 2nd round against a guillotine attempt in the final seconds. However Silva at the end of the 2nd and 3rd rounds almost finished the fight and most likely gave him the nod from the judges.

Heavyweight Bout: Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez
Velasquez defeated Nogueira via KO (punches) at 2:20 of round 1. This was my fight of the night right here even though the fight only lasted a little over 2 minutes. As Joe Rogan said his standup was spectacular and really had a nice flow to his punches and kicks. He landed a great combo on Nogueira and ended the fight. Cain stepped up against a really tough opponent and looks to be setting himself for a possible title match down the road
