Well damn, I’m sad tonight. I just watched Gina Carano get beat down by Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos for the Strikeforce women’s 145lb championship. Gina was in there to fight, and she showed she has great heart, but I don’t predict anyone beating Cyborg for awhile. Cyborg looked better striking, although Carano did land several good striked of her own. Cyborg went for takedowns a couple of times but ended up in Gina’s mount, once Gina let her up, and I’m not sure why she did that. All in all, it was a pretty dominant performance by Cyborg, and the fight ended with Gina on the mat and Cyborg raining down punches when the referee stepped in to stop the fight with just 1 second left in round one (see below). Cristiane Cyborg Santos wins by TKO @ 4:59 of round one.

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.

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.

(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.

CagePotato.com says Jesse Taylor will get his shot at redemption on July 19th, in a fight against CB Dollaway. Also, Jesse Taylor pisses his pants when he gets drunk, so hopefully he’s off the alcohol. CB Dollaway didn’t win any fans with his “I didn’t tap” protests after getting caught in an armbar by Amir Sadollah. Therefore, I hope these two guys beat the hell out of each other. I also sorta hope Taylor busts CB Dollaway’s upper lip. He always looks like he smelled something awful.

With all the hype around this episode, it better be good.

After seeing the previews for next weeks episode of The Ultimate Fighter 7, there has been much speculation about what happens and who gets kicked off the show and no longer allowed to be a part of the UFC. I have no idea who it is, but I think it is going to be more than just a window breaking accident. I think there was a fight or an assault inside the limo, or something along those lines. Why would Dana White be pissed about a window breaking, when on last weeks show the fighters trashed the entire house? That wouldn’t make sense. Unless of course, the limo incident caused a public disturbance and Dana White is wanting to make an example out of one of the fighters. Who knows.
