UFC 116 was a great show, in my opinion. I was hoping for a Shane Carwin win, but Brock Lesnar definitely earned respect tonight. He got his ass kicked in the first round, and came back to submit Carwin with an arm-triangle choke. Impressive.

The show started off good with the free prelims and the brutal fight between Seth Petruzelli and Ricardo Romero. Seth was tossing grenades at Ricardo Romero, but Romero was just eating them up and ended up damn near breaking Petruzellis arm to end the fight in round 2.

The results from UFC 166 are:

Jonathan Madsen defeats Karlos Vemola by Decision
Daniel Roberts defeats Forrest Petz by Decision
Gerald Harris defeats Dave Branch by SLAM KO 3rd round @ 2:35
Kendall Grove defeats Goran Reljic Split Decision
Ricardo Romero defeats Seth Petruzelli by brutal armbar 2nd round 3:05
Brendan Schaub defeats Chris Tuchscherer by TKO/RSC 1st 1:07
George Sotiropoulos defeats Kurt Pellegrino by Unanimous Decision
Stephan Bonnar defeats Krzysztof Soszynski first TKO/RSC 1st 3:08
Chris Lytle defeats Matt Brown by armbar in 2nd round @ 2:02
Chris Leben defeats Yoshihiro Akiyama by Triangle 3rd round @ 4:40
Brock Lesnar defeats Shane Carwin by Arm Triangle 2nd round @ 2:19

Why was Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago the final fight? Regardless, Fitch won a unanimous decision.

Brock Lesnar looked great again, as he did against Couture. He smashed his way through Frank Mir for a 2nd round TKO. We need to see a Part III to make Lesnar/Mir a trilogy.

I’m very glad Georges St. Pierre was victorious over Thiago Alves. It will be interesting to see who GSP fights next. Anderson Silva?

Dan Henderson absolutely smashed Michael Bisping into unconsciousness. Hendo landed his trademark overhand right to Bispings jaw and knocked him out, but wait, there’s more! (I typed that with pitchman Billy May’s voice in my head). After Bisping was already on his back KO’d, Dan Henderson flies in (literally, his whole body in the air) with a gnarly forearm smash to Bispings face, all 185lbs of Dan Henderson came crashing down on Bispings dome. Bisping laid there asleep for several minutes.

Yoshihiro Akiyama defeated Alan Belcher by judges decision

I’m glad to see Mark Coleman defeated Stephan Bonner by decision. I’m not happy that they didn’t show the fight on the PPV broadcast. Sounds like Coleman’s gas tank was ok?

Jim Miller defeated Mac Danzig by decision.

Jon Jones submitted Jake O’Brien by guillotine in round 2

Dong Hyun Kim defeated T.J. Grant by decision.

Shannon Gugerty defeated Matt Grice by guillotine choke in round one.

Tom Lawlor got submission of the night for his guillotine victory over CB Dollaway in round one. Tom Lawlor also had the weirdest entrance of the night (VIDEO BELOW–and the guy on the leash in the video is Seth Petruzelli).

First of all, the main event of the night for me will be Bruce Buffer doing a 360 spin as he introduces the fighters.

I’d like to see Tom Lawlor kick CB Dollaway’s ass, but I’m not really thinking it’s going to happen. I feel basically the same way about Frank Mir vs. Brock Lesnar…I’d like to see Frank Mir win again, but I don’t really think he’ll be able to…but how shocking would it be if he somehow KO’s Brock Lesnar and leaves him unconscious?

Jon Jones is going to destroy Jake O’Brien. Jones seemed unstoppable last time he fought.

I have Jim Miller beating Mac Danzig..

MARK COLEMAN over Stephan Bonnar…WTF? The UFC website says this fight “May not be broadcast”…my ass.. it better be broadcast.

Alan Belcher will defeat Yoshihiro Akiyama.

I seriously hope Dan Henderson KTFO of Michael Bisping.. I predict Bisping running and backing up much of the fight, refusing to exchange punches.

Jon Fitch will win his match against Paulo Thiago.. and I just noticed we have two guys named “Jon” on this fight card.

I’d love to see Georges St. Pierre get a dominant win over Thiago Alves, and set up a future bout with Anderson Silva.

As I already said, I’d enjoy seeing Frank Mir get a tapout, or an unbelievable knockout over Brock Lesnar…I just can’t see it happening again, but I seriously hope I’m wrong.
