Hugo Viana shines in bantamweight debut at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale

All the Brazilian 'Wolverine' needed was a weight class change. Well, that and four minutes and five seconds to dispose of his opposition and make a successful bantamweight debut.

Hugo Viana, a member of Team Vitor Belfort from season one of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil, made his bantamweight debut on Saturday at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale, easily dispatching of Rueben Duran. Viana is undefeated in the UFC at 2-0, but previously fought at a catchweight of 150 pounds. At bantamweight and despite being much smaller than Duran, Viana was nevertheless able to use his considerable hand speed and knockout power to repeatedly hurt Duran en route to a TKO stoppage.

Through the four minutes of the bout, Viana sent Duran to the canvas four times, all of which came from crushing right hands. Duran hung tough with most of them and was able to resume striking exchanges until the very end of the fight. Duran was barely recovering from being dropped for the third time when he went down again from a lunging power right that not only sent Duran to the canvas, but did so face first and with Duran having a glassy-eyed look.

T.J. Waldburger submits Nick Catone in the second round

Submission ace T.J. Waldburger was looking to get back on track after a disappointing showing against Brian Ebersole earlier this summer. Against Nick Catone at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale in Las Vegas, Nev. on Saturday night, Waldburger got what he was looking for.
The win, however, didn't come automatically or easily.

Catone set the pace early, getting takedowns, decent ground and pound and the better of scrambling exchanges. The former collegiate wrestler was able to use his size and technical wrestling advantages to likely earn the judges' nod in the first frame.

But his dominance wouldn't last long. A right had early in the second frame rocked Catone and sent him crashing to the canvas.

Catone tried to use his wrestling as a way, but the quick-thinking Waldburger jumped to a one-arm (from Catone) guillotine.

Realizing he didn't have it, he transitioned to a triangle. Catone defended, but strangely moved his free arm across his own body, which is exactly what Waldburger needed from him to finish the choke.

Waldburger moves to 4-2 in the Octagon and 16-7 in professional mixed martial arts.

Mike Pyle stops James Head with strikes from the Thai clinch

As a once longtime training partner with UFC legend and Hall of Famer Randy Couture, it's only fitting Mike Pyle would do his best work not in his twenties, but late thirties. On Saturday, the welterweight contender stopped James Head in the first round of their contest at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale in Las Vegas, Nev.

Head, who entered this bout on a two-fight win streak, clearly appeared to be the much larger man. He was also the aggressor, forcing Pyle's back to the fence and landed a two-punch combination. Pyle, however, continued to move around the cage and never lost composure.

Later in the round is when the Las Vegan took over. As the two clinch along the fence, Pyle locked up the Thai plum and fired a knee to the middle. Head hung on, but only to his own detriment. Pyle kept the plum, angled off the cage to create space and fired a shot that landed flush on Head's chin.

As he collapsed, Pyle pounced. All that was required to earn the stoppage from referee Steve Mazzagatti was a few more punches.

Pyle moves to 7-3 in the UFC and 24-8-1 overall in professional mixed martial arts competition.

Dustin Poirier overwhelms Jonanthan Brookins to earn first-round stoppage

In a bout between two featherweights looking to get back on the winning track, it was the American Top Team transplant who came out the victor in a wild back and forth exchange. Dustin Poirier, after a chaotic beginning to the bout, submitted Jonathan Brookins in the first round of their main card bout at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale in Las Vegas, Nev.

The end came officially at 4:15 of the first round due to a suffocating d'arce choke.

Matters started simply enough with the two feeling each other out on the feet, but things quickly took a turn for the crazy. Brookins was able to land power punches that had Poirier backing up and clearly hurt. Brookins pursued but opted to wing heavy shots, which Poirier also met with equally chaotic swings. Both fighters landed significantly.

Brookins continued to pursue Poirier and was able to land several more hard, accurate punches. However, it was Poirier that begin to put his offense together with combination striking. Brookins' lack of movemnt - both with his head and feet - cost him in the end. Poirier forced Brookins to put his back to the fence and dropped him with a furious combination.

Brookins attempted to shoot on Poirier, but the Louisiana native stopped it with locked up a bicep grip for the d'arce choke.

Poirier fell to his left hip and moments later, Brookins tapped.

Poirier moves to 6-2 under Zuffa-owned MMA promotions and 13-2 overall.

Pat Barry blasts Shane del Rosario to earn KO win

In a bout where the end of the first round seemed to signal Pat Barry was in trouble, his vaunted power punching saved him yet again. Barry stopped Shane del Rosario by KO at :26 of the second round of their bout at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale in Las Vegas, Nev.

The bout began less than auspiciously for 'HD', however.

The two opened the fight by trading middle and leg kicks before del Rosario cliched along the fence. Del Rosario was nearly able to earn a single leg takedown, but a blatant fence grab prevented it. It also went unnoticed by referee Kim Winslow.

Still, after a few more exchanges and leg kicks, del Rasoario clinched again, pressed Barry against the fence and this time was able to yank Barry around to get the takedown. From there, things got scary for Barry as del Rosario attempted an armbar from the back. A transition to the oma plata and a return to back mount is baically where things ended.

The second round, though, is where Barry did what Barry does best. As Barry was backing up, he caught del Rosario flat-footed with a monster overhand left. A clearly rocked del Rosario wobbled back to the fence where two more right hands ended the fight cleanly.

Barry moves to 5-5 in the UFC and 8-5 in his overall MMA career.

Colton Smith controls Mike Ricci to earn unanimous decision win

The sixteenth season of 'The Ultimate Fighter' has it's winner: Team Roy Nelson's Colton Smith, who used dominant wrestling and top positional control to take a unanimous decision win over Team Carwin's Mike Ricci. Smith defeated Ricci by judges scores of 30-27, 30-27, 30-26 at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale in Las Vegas, Nev.

From the first bell to the last, this was Smith's bout. With the exception of one flurry at the end of round three, he was never in jeopardy and never in danger.

The pattern was basically the same. Smith would circle and exchange just a few strikes with Ricci on the outside. From there he'd level change, run Ricci into the fence and work from there as Ricci tried to either stand or avoid submission attempts.

When Ricci tried to stand, Smith would get his hooks in and snatch him off of his base. And when he was able to take his back, Smith worked relentlessly for the rear naked choke. While Smith never really came close to submitting Ricci, he constantly had Ricci in defensive maneuvers just to stay alive.

The only strange note came in the second round. Smith threw an inadvertent groin kick in plain sight of referee Steve Mazzagatti, yet the referee didn't intervene or warn Smith whatsoever. Smith even looked to the referee prior to following up on an obviously hurt Ricci.

With less than a minute in the fight during the third round, Ricci was able to briefly take Smith's back and even threaten with an armbar, but the Army Ranger in Smith was able to avoid it to take the unaninous decision victory.

Ricci fought this bout at welterweight, but plans to compete at 155 in his next UFC bout.

Roy Nelson punches Matt Mitrione into first-round stoppage victory

UFC heavyweight Roy Nelson is closer to the age of 40 than he is 30, but that doesn't mean he is any less dangerous. On Saturday night at The Joint in the The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev., Nelson stopped fellow season 10 'The Ultimate Fighter' alumnus Matt Mitrione with strikes in the first round at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale. The win came officially at 2:58 of the first round.

Nelson was originally scheduled to face UFC heavyweight Shane Carwin, but a knee injury forced him to withdraw from the bout. Mitrione accepted the bout on approximately five weeks notice.

The bout went as many had anticipated. Mitrione and Nelson stayed true to their reputations as pocket exchagers. Mitrione worked more leg and body kicks while Nelson was content to punch, but both landed significant strikes in the first three minutes of the contest. Nelson only very briefly tied Mitrione up for a body lock takedown, an attempt which Mitrione nullified with the exclamation point of a thudding elbow to the side of Nelson's head.

The two continued exchanging until Nelson slowly walked into Mitrione and fired a rear-hand uppercut while Mitrione tried to whip across a left hook. Nelson won the exchange and hurt Mitrione badly. Two follow-up right hands sent Mitrione covering up. A few more strikes and that was enough to earn the referee stoppage.

This marks the second loss in a row for Mitrione, and the first time he's been finished. All of Nelson's five UFC victories have come by way of knockout or TKO. Nelson ups his UFC record to 5-3 while his professional record moves to 18-7. Mitrione moves to 5-2, all of the bouts having taken place in the Octagon.

When prompted to explain his late-in-athletic life penchant for striking despite having a jiu-jitsu background, Nelson argued he was born with a gift. That and striking wins are so much easier to come by.

"I think it's just one of those things - God blessed me (with striking)," Nelson said. "I used to submit everybody. But when I got my first knockout, I was like, 'This is so much easier than this wrestling and jiu-jitsu stuff.' I was looking to pick him apart and do it in the later rounds and show all the critics that a fat guy can go five rounds."

Illness forces Jamie Varner out of Melvin Guillard fight

AS VEGAS -- A fight-day illness has forced lightweight Jamie Varner to withdraw from his much-anticipated "Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale" bout with Melvin Guillard on Saturday night at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
According to MMAFighting's Ariel Helwani, UFC president Dana White said the bout has been rescheduled for UFC 155 on Dec. 29.

Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer informed the assembled Octagonside media of the fight's cancellation.

"He was sick all day, but he still wanted to fight," Kizer told MMAFighting. "He was throwing up backstage. The doctor checked him out and he determined he couldn't go. It's just one of those things, like an athlete training for the Olympics for four years and then getting sick the week he's supposed to go."

Both Guillard and Varner will receive their show money for the evening. The UFC will not promote another bout to the main card.

Ricci, Smith, Ellis, Manley win $25,000 TUF 16 season bonuses

Mike Ricci came up short in his quest to become the first Canadian winner of "The Ultimate Fighter," but he didn't walk away from Season 16 of the show with nothing.

On Saturday, he was dominated by Colton Smith in the TUF 16 finals, but Ricci picked up a $25,000 bonus for the season's best knockout for his semifinal win over Neil Magny.

Bonuses of $25,000 also went to Smith and Eddy Ellis for the season's best fight and Jon Manley for the season's best submission.

UFC officials announced the winners during Saturday's TUF 16 Finale, which took place at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

Ricci's knockout of Magny was his second stoppage of the welterweight tournament. He beat Jason South by TKO to get into the TUF house before beating Dom Waters and Michael Hill by unanimous decision before the Magny fight in the semifinals.

Manley submitted James Chaney with a guillotine choke 3:25 into the first round of their opening-round fight to reach the quarterfinals. Apart from the 16 fights to get into the TUF house, Manley's submission was the only one in the 14 fights once the 16 fighters were into the house.

Smith and Ellis battled back and forth in their elimination-round fight with Smith winning by majority decision. Many believed the fight should have gone to a third sudden-victory round. Instead, Smith advanced, then beat Igor Araujo and Manley to reach the finals against Ricci.

TUF 16 Finale bonuses: Barry, Waldburger, Elliott, Papazian get $40K each

On a night featuring nine stoppages in 11 fights, Pat Barry, T.J. Waldburger, Tim Elliott and Jared Papazian each earned $40,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday's TUF 16 Finale event.

Barry earned the "Knockout of the Night" award, Waldburger won the "Submission of the Night" bonus, and Elliott and Papazian picked up "Fight of the Night" honors.

UFC officials announced the winners and bonus amounts following the event, which took place at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

The event's main card aired on FX following prelims on FUEL TV and Facebook.

Barry had a little trouble with Shane del Rosario in the first round when the bigger heavyweight was able to take things to the ground, where he looked for a submission finish. So Barry didn't waste any time in the second round. He landed a big left hand that wobbled del Rosario, then moved in for a big combination and, ultimately, a giant right hand that planted del Rosario to end the fight just 26 seconds into the second round.

Waldburger spoiled Nick Catone's first fight at welterweight in a big way. He dropped the New Jersey-based fighter with a right hand, then finished him with a triangle choke on the ground. Catone wasn't even able to tap before being put out with the tight finish.

Elliott and Papazian brought some bad blood into their card-opening flyweight fight. Papazian landed a knee to a downed Elliott in the first round, and after a lengthy recovery time for Elliott, he was allowed to continue – and went on to dominate Papazian with scores of 30-25, 30-25 and 20-26, including a point deduction for the illegal knee. The TUF 16 Finale featured six KO or TKO stoppages and three submissions.
