TITO. He’ll be fighting Mark Coleman sometime in the near future.

Kendall Grove almost broke Ricardo Almeidas arm.. who woulda thought. Ricardo Almeida still won a decision.

Referee Dan Miragliotta still sucks.

LOL @ Forrest Griffin running out of the cage… and why does it seem like Anderson Silva’s punches hurt everyone so much worse than other people? I remember a straight right hand that sent James Irvin to the mat holding his face and curled in the fetal position. This one on Forrest was a backpeddling right jab that sent him down…WTF?

I felt embarrassed for Forrest.

BJ Penn vs Kenny Florian was a good fight, as I expected. Penn choked Florian into a tapout with a rear-naked choke. Penn is still dominant at 155lbs, because I believe Florian was the legit #1 contender.

Dana White wants to have a UFC event at Fenway Park in Boston sometime in the future.

It took just over 1 minute for Anderson Silva to dispose of James Irvin in brutal fashion. The rest of the 205lb division should be on high alert. Irvin did what he said he was going to do, he didn’t back down from Silva and tried to see what he could do. Irvin through some decent leg kicks, but that is what ultimately led to his demise. Anderson Silva caught one of Irvins leg kicks and immediately delivered a right hand to Irvins chin, putting him on the mat. Spider Silva pounced on him and landed a flurry of right hand punches straight down on Irvins dome, sneaking one through that left a huge cut under Irvin’s right eye. Referee stops the fight at 1:01 of the first round. Who’s next for Silva?

CB Dollaway caught Jesse Taylor in a “Peruvian neck tie” submission at 3:58 of the first round.

Tim Credeur TKO’d Cale Yarbrough at 1:54 of the first round.

Shannon Gugerty submitted Dale Hartt in round 1.

Brad Blackburn TKO’d James Giboo in round 2.

Nate Loughran submitted Johnny Rees in round 1 (Triangle Choke).

Rory Markham was getting tagged in the head by Brodie Farber and came back with a HEAVY kick upside Farbers head that put him unconscious immediately.

Kevin Burns was awarded a TKO victory over Anthony Johnson, although the end was due to an eypoke from Burns. He had already been warned by the referee for an earlier poke in Anthony Johnsons eye, but in the final round he got a better one that sent Anthony Johnson screaming and falling to the canvas.

Cain Velasquez defeated Jake O’Brien by TKO in round 1.

Frankie Edgar defeated Hermes Franca by unanimous decision.

Brandon Vera bored us through to a unanimous decision victory over Reese Andy. Brandon Vera still thinks he is going to hold both the UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight championships in the future.

(Phoenix, AZ) – MTX Audio, the leader in high performance mobile audio products, is growing its MMA presence by supporting three MMA fighters on three different fight cards all on the same evening. On July 19th, MTX Fight Team member, C.B. Dollaway (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC), will return to the UFC octagon for the second time in two months to battle former TUF 7 alumnus, Jesse Taylor (6-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC), on UFC Fight Night live from Las Vegas which will be broadcast free on Spike TV. Dollaway is looking to get his first UFC win and to prove he belongs in the UFC against a determined fighter in Taylor who is looking for redemption in the eyes of the world. Also on July 19th, MTX will be supporting Ray Lizama (5-5-0) on Affliction’s first ever fight card to be broadcast on PPV. Lizama will be looking to advance in the ranks by defeating Justin Levens (9-8-0) at the Affliction: Banned event at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. On Monday, July 21st, HDNet Fights will broadcast the conclusion of the DREAM Lightweight Grand Prix Tournament from Osaka, Japan where MTX MMA fighter, Joachim Hansen (17-7-1) will go toe-to-toe with Kultar Gill (9-7).

UFC Fight Night 14 features a main event between the UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva, and James Irvin in a light heavyweight battle. This step up to 205lbs will be the first for Silva in his UFC career. On the same card, C.B. Dollaway, an MTX MMA Fight Team member and TUF 7 finalist, will fight against Jesse Taylor who used his ground and pound to get into the TUF 7 finals before he was formally removed from the show by UFC President Dana White for inappropriate behavior outside the cage.

The Affliction: Banned event features a heavyweight bout between Russian Fedor Emelianenko and American Tim Sylvia. During that night MTX MMA Fighter, Ray “Lights Out” Lizama, is set to match up against Jesse Levins, an aggressive fighter who has built a cult following for himself in the central valley of California and who recently gained attention with his quick defeat of Tony Lopez at WEC 15 on May 19th of this year.

Finally, MTX MMA Fighter, Joachim Hansen, fresh off one of the best MMA fights of the year despite his loss to Eddie Alvarez, will go to battle with Kultar “Black Mamba” Gill. The DREAM 5 event in Osaka, Japan will be broadcast live on HDNet Fights, Monday, July 21st at 2:00AM ET and there will be a rebroadcast at 10:00PM ET.

With three different event cards in three different organizations all in one weekend, MTX is front and center in the face of MMA fans worldwide. MMA fans have some big decisions to make when July 19th rolls around and will have Tivo’s working overtime. Rest assured, no matter which event you choose, MTX is going to be there!

MTX is taking the audio industry by storm by setting the standard for all others to follow with reaching all corners of the automotive industry. Visit www.mtx.com for up-to-date information regarding the new MTX Mobile Audio products and news.

Since the Affliction mega-card was announced a few months ago featuring a cast of big names, headlined by Fedor Emelianenko and Tim Sylvia, the UFC has tried to battle against Affliction by putting on a free event of SpikeTV featuring a main event bout with Anderson Silva going against James Irvin.

Former UFC referee Big John McCarthy is even part of the announce team for the Affliction: Banned event, and is quoted as saying the Affliction event will be “the best heavyweight card ever put together” according to a promotional flier put out by Affliction. On the same flier, they even quote Dana White and other UFC personalities (photo below – thanks to MMAmadness.com).

So to counter Dana White and his spur-of-the-moment FREE show to steal viewers from Affliction, they’ve announced that FSN will show two Affliction fights for free also, at 8pm EST July 19th. Viewers will get to see Aleksander Emelianenko fight Paul Buentello, and Vitor Belfort fight Terry Martin, for free on FSN.

What will you be watching on July 19th?

Wow, this is a great match to counter the Affliction: Banned MMA show on the same night. Which one will most fans be watching LIVE? Dave Meltzer broke the news earlier today that Anderson Silva would be fighting James Irvin in the main event on July 19th. This fight will be a 205lb (light heavyweight) fight, and will be Anderson Silva’s first fight at 205lbs.

This could actually be a dangerous fight for Anderson Silva, if the fight stays standing, Silva could get his chin tested by Irvin. However, regardless of the outcome, Anderson Silva will retain his UFC middleweight championship, as no titles are on the line July 19th.

UFC Fight Night, which I had to record and watch after the event aired.

Houston Alexander was victim of a quick knockout at the hands of James Irvin. In the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Houston says he was conscious the whole time, and said he gets hit harder by his children. Poor Houston Alexander, he needs to stick to teaching kids about “Hip-Hop culture” and trying to convince people it’s a “charitable” deed.

Nate Diaz kept his composure even as he was getting drilled upside his orbital bone by Kurt Pellegrino, and managed to survive round one. In round two, he scored a triangle choke and forced Pellegrino to tap. Joe Rogan was exactly right when he said it was the “most entertaining” triangle of the year (or something like that). Diaz gave a double-bird and flexed while Pellegrino was tapping.

I figured Matt Hamill vs. Tim Boetsch would be a messy fight, knowing Hamill likes the ground-n-pound and is very good at it. They both ended up getting their faces thrashed a bit. Matt Hamill’s bottom lip is sliced into two pieces. Hamill won the fight by TKO after pressing Boetsch against the cage and hammering his head around, finally holding his neck down and punching his face. I’m just wondering how the general public will react to Joe Rogan using the term “Rape choke.”

Karo Parisyan complained about an early stoppage, he was more vocal about it that Houston Alexander was, but in Karo’s defense, I couldn’t actually tell if he was knocked out or not, whereas there is no doubt Houston Alexander was unconscious and not defending himself for a couple of seconds, even though he says otherwise.

Tommy Speer is indeed a robot. The dude has a hard noggin on him, but I guess even robots can be destroyed after being hammered repeatedly. Anthony Johnson just owned him with kicks and punches. Tommy Speer stayed standing for like 20 or 30 seconds, taking more punishment and trying to fight back, but the striked had him moving slower and slower. Anthony Johnson finally nailed him and left him asleep leaning against the cage.

Kinda surprised to hear Joe Rogan mention Shinya Aoki and JZ Cavalcante during the Frankie Edgar/Gray Maynard fight.

Kenny Florian vs. Joe Lauzon was a great fight. For the most part, Florian dominated. The fight ended with Florian having mount, and pounding away on Lauzon. Joe Lauzon did a good job defending his face, but was unable to escape.

Houston “I’m Alright” Alexander. Sadly, he is not a force in the UFC’s Light Heavyweight division. Anyway, thanks James Irvin for winning me some quick money (real quick– I think they said his knockout of Houston Alexander was one of the fastest in UFC history. Now I have to leave the house for awhile and will record the rest of the show to watch later.
