BELLATOR 31 RESULTS: Megumi Fujii and Zoila Frausto Advance to Tournament Finals, Chris Lozano Kills in Debut - 9/30/10

BELLATOR FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS XXXI (Season 3, Week 8) was held Thursday September 30, 2010 at the L'Auberge du Lac Casino and Resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The main card aired live on FOX Sports Net.

Megumi "Mega Megu" Fujii improved her record to an astonishing 22-0 with her second submission victory over Lisa Ward. Zoila "Warrior Princess" Frausto won a controversial split decision over Jessica "Jag" Aguilar. Two judges scored the fight 30-27 for Frausto, while the other judge scored the fight exactly opposite, 30-27 for Aguilar. Fujii and Frausto will fight for the Women's Featherweight Championship in the tournament finale at an upcoming Bellator event in October.

In a Season 4 Welterweight Tournament Qualifier fight, Chris "The Assassin" Lozano made a highly impressive Bellator debut by battering former UFC fighter Yoshiyuki "Zenko" Yoshida, whose corner threw in the towel after the second round due to Yoshida's swollen eye. Lozano joins fellow 170-pound qualifiers Steve Carl, Dan Hornbuckle, Carey Vanier and Brent Weedman in the 2011 tournament that will feature 3 more fighters.

Dave "Pee Wee" Herman finished out his Bellator contract in obscurity. Herman is a top heavyweight prospect, but he's been mired in a legal dispute with Bellator. Herman was originally scheduled to fight former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez on the main card, but Rodriguez had to withdraw due to injury. Herman was instead matched up against Polish fighter Michal "Massacre" Kita and buried on the undercard.

WEC 51 RESULTS: Jose Aldo Remains Untouchable, Donald Cerrone Gets Cowboy Revenge on Jamie Varner - 9/30/10

WEC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo
WEC 51: ALDO VS GAMBURYAN was held Thursday September 30, 2010 at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado near Denver. The main card aired live on the Versus network.

Jose "Junior" Aldo retained his WEC Featherweight Championship with a stone cold knockout of TUF 5 lightweight finalist Manny "The Anvil" Gamburyan. Aldo used the first round to feel out Gamburyan's offense, and then struck like a cobra in the second round.

Jose Aldo landed a brutal uppercut that dropped Manny Gamburyan and caused him to turtle up. Aldo then violently joined Gamburyan on the ground and left him KTFO. After the fight, Aldo put himself in more danger than he had been in during the entire fight, when he landed awkwardly from a celebratory backflip off the top of the cage.

In the co-main event, Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone got the redemption he'd been seeking for the past 21 months in the form of a clean sweep unanimous decision over his archnemesis Jamie Varner. Cerrone put a beating on Varner for three rounds in their lightweight rematch, and shockingly outwrestled the Lock Haven wrestling stand-out.

Donald Cerrone, a former Muay Thai fighter who's been accused of being one-dimensional a time or two, clearly has dedicated himself to becoming a better grappler. Although Cerrone has expressed a deep hatred for Jamie Varner, it's this very hate that has inspired him to become a better fighter. In his post-fight interview, Cerrone offered Varner a rubber match at WEC 53 in Varner's home city of Phoenix, Arizona.

WEC 51 BONUSES: $10K Bonus Payouts for Donald Cerrone, Jamie Varner, George Roop and Miguel Torres - 9/30/10

The WEC awarded bonuses for WEC 51: ALDO VS GAMBURYAN in the amount of $10,000 each. After every event, WEC officials award performance-based payout bonuses to at least 4 fighters.

Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone and Jamie Varner earned Fight of the Night honors for their 3-round grudge rematch. In his post-fight interview, Cerrone suggested the two should have a rubber match at WEC 53.

Knockout of the Night went to George Roop for his brutal head kick KO of "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung. WEC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo and former champ Mike Brown were both eligible for the knockout bonus.


Submission of the Night went to Miguel Torres for his rear-naked choke tapout of Charlie Valencia. Tiequan "The Mongolian Wolf" Zhang was also eligible for the submission bonus.

UFC 119 RESULTS: Frank Mir KO's Mirko Cro Cop, Ryan Bader Moves Up 205-Pound Ladder with Win Over Lil Nog - 9/25/10

UFC 119: MIR VS CRO COP was held Saturday September 25, 2010 at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. The main card aired live on PPV. Four preliminary bouts aired on Spike TV in the hour preceding the PPV.

The heavyweight headlining fight ended up being one of the most plodding and boring UFC main events in recent memory. After nearly 3 full rounds of relative inactivity, Mir landed a huge knee to the noggin of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic that put the legendary Croatian fighter's lights out.

The main event was so awful that the announcers, Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan, were openly mocking the mundaneness and compared the fight to a sparring session. At one point up against the cage, Frank Mir and Mirko Cro Cop appeared to be talking to each other and laughing. UFC officials unprecedently denied Mir a Knockout of the Night bonus, despite him being the only fighter to score a knockout at UFC 119.

In the light heavyweight co-main event, Ryan "Darth" Bader scored a clear unanimous decision victory over Antonio Rogerio "Lil Nog" Nogueira, the twin brother of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, who coached Bader to a TUF 8 tournament championship. Bader used his wrestling to physically control Nogueira, which in turn mentally took Nogueira out of the fight. The same striking that Nogueira so impressively and successfully used in his UFC debut against Luiz Cane was barely existant in this fight. Nogueira was tentative, likely due to his fear of being taken down by Bader. After just his fifth Octagon fight, Bader is now a Top 10 ranked fighter in one of the toughest divisions in MMA.


BAMMA 4 RESULTS: Tom 'Kong' Watson Settles Beef with UK Celebrity Big Brother Winner Alex Reid - 9/25/10

BAMMA 4: REID VS WATSON was held Saturday September 25, 2010 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. The main event featured a championship showdown that was originally scheduled for BAMMA 3, and got very personal in its build-up.

In the headlining fight, Alex "Reidernator" Reid challenged Tom "Kong" Watson for the BAMMA Middleweight Championship, despite the fact that Reid hadn't fought for 3 years, and the last time he did -- he lost his fifth straight fight.

Tabloid star Alex Reid was the winner of CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER (UK) and is married to British glamour model Katie Price aka Jordan. Hey, whatever it takes.

In the end, Alex Reid lost his sixth straight fight, but did manage to last 25 minutes with Tom Watson in the only fight to go the distance at BAMMA 4.

In the co-main event, John "The White Mike Tyson" Phillips needed just a minute and thirty-four seconds to finish off James "The Messenger" Zikic in the first round with punches. Phillips proved to the world why they call him the caucasian Tyson with a quick TKO victory over a solid opponent. With this victory, Phillips is now the number one contender for Tom Watson's BAMMA Middleweight Championship.

In a battle of undefeated fighters, Iceland's Gunnar Nelson kept his perfect record intact with a rear-naked choke submission win over Eugene "Sniper" Fadiora, whose once-perfect record is now blemished. Nelson has a black belt in BJJ under Renzo Gracie and has quickly developed into one of the best welterweights in the world not signed to a major organization.

Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen protégé Simeon "The Grin" Thoresen improved his record to an impressive 13-1 with a rear-naked choke of his own over Marco Santi. In the night's biggest upset, Tim "Super Human" Newman proved to be human after all, with a triangle choke submission loss to A.J. Wenn, who bumped his record back up to over .500.

DREAM 16 RESULTS: Gegard Mousasi Wins Light Heavyweight Title, Mayhem Miller Beats Down Kazushi Sakuraba - 9/25/10

DREAM 16 was held Saturday September 25, 2010 at the Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya, Japan. The entire fight card aired live in North America on HDNet in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday.

The main event featured the finals of the four-man Light Heavyweight Tournament. Gegard "The Dreamcatcher" Mousasi became the inaugural DREAM Light Heavyweight Champion with a rear-naked choke submission victory over Tatsuya Mizuno. Mousasi is the former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion.

In the co-main event, BULLY BEATDOWN host Jason "Mayhem" Miller used an arm-triangle choke to submit one of his heroes, the legendary Kazushi Sakuraba. Both men had elaborate and entertaining ring entrances, but the fight was basically a squash match.

DREAM Lightweight Champion Shinya Aoki totally dominated Marcus "Maximus" Aurelio in a non-title fight. Four years ago, Aurelio upset then-PRIDE Lightweight Champion Takanori Gomi in a non-title fight, but Aurelio had no such luck this time against Aoki. Aurelio was able to bloody up Aoki's face a bit, but mostly the fight consisted of Aoki controlling Aurelio on the ground.

Ikuhisa "Minowaman" Minowa's 5-fight winning streak, all over heavyweights and super heavyweights, ended against heavyweight Japanese Olympic gold medalist Judoka Satoshi Ishii. The 2008 Olympian used what brung him to the dance, and smothered Minowaman using his Judo for a unanimous decision victory.

Hiroyuki "Streetfight Bancho" Takaya and Michihiro Omigawa, two resurgent Japanese featherweights, scored quick and impressive wins over Americans Chase "The Rage" Beebe and Cole "Apache Kid" Escovedo, respectively.

After losing 3 straight fights for the first time in his career, including losing his first 2 fights at 145-pounds, Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen rebounded with a submission victory over featherweight gatekeeper and former janitor Hideo Tokoro.

Kazuyuki "Little Hercules" Miyata continues to impress since moving down to featherweight, and is now on a 5-fight winning streak. Miyata outpointed Shooto stand-out "Lion" Takeshi Inoue for the unanimous decision victory.

The first 2 fights of the night were decided by split decisions. Mitsuhiro "Endless Fighter" Ishida fought "Wicky" Akiyo Nishiura in a seemingly endless fight that offered very little in the way of actual fighting.

In the opening heavyweight bout, Minowaman's original opponent, James "The Colossus" Thompson, the man who almost beat Kimbo Slice on CBS but was KO'd by Butterbean in 43 seconds, dropped his third straight fight with a decision loss to Yusuke Kawaguchi. Since clobbering Don Frye into oblivion in one of the most violent fights ever at PRIDE 34 in 2007, Thompson has won just 1 of his last 10 fights.

UFC 119 BONUSES: $70K Bonus Payouts for Sean Sherk, Evan Dunham, Matt Mitrione, Joey Beltran and CB Dollaway - 9/25/10

The UFC awarded bonuses for UFC 119: MIR VS CRO COP in the amount of $70,000 each. After every event, UFC officials award performance-based payout bonuses to at least 4 fighters. This time, an additional Fight of the Night bonus was given, but there was no Knockout of the Night bonus, so 5 fighters received bonuses.

Sean "The Muscle Shark" Sherk and Evan Dunham shared Fight of the Night honors with Matt "Meathead" Mitrione and Joey "Mexicutioner" Beltran. Both fights went the distance, with Sherk winning a split decision and Mitrione winning a unanimous decision.

Submission of the Night went to C.B. "The Doberman" Dollaway for his highly impressive chokeout of Joe "El Dirte" Doerksen. Dollaway showed great patience and persistence by holding onto a guillotine choke until Doerksen attempted to roll out of it, which lead to one of the most spectacular submission scrambles in UFC history. Doerksen and Dollaway rolled and flipped around at least 5 times with Dollaway holding into the choke, until Dollaway got Doerksen into a position where he had no choice but to tap. Thiago Tavares and Sean McCorkle were also eligible for the submission bonus.

There was no Knockout of the Night award given, despite Frank Mir's main event knockout of Mirko Cro Cop. Mir was the only fighter to score a knockout on the card, but likely due to the boring nature of his fight until the instant KO, Mir was denied the bonus for knocking out Cro Cop by UFC brass.
