    UFC 142 Bonuses: Edson Barboza Wins Knockout, Fight of the Night

    Brazilian lightweight Edson Barboza outdid himself Saturday at UFC 142 in Brazil, not only claiming his third straight Fight of the Night, but also the Knockout of the Night honor as well.

    With each UFC 142 post-fight bonus worth $65,000, Barboza pocketed $130,000 in addition to his fight purse.

    Barboza and Terry Etim shared the Fight of the Night honor for their pay-per-view opener, the only fight on the main card to go past the first round. And Barboza's spectacular finish set the tone for what turned out to be a wild night of fights.

    After controlling most of the fight with leg kicks, Barboza landed a wheel kick to knock Etim out cold at two minutes and two seconds of the third round. In executing the first wheel kick knockout in the UFC, Barboza won his fourth straight UFC fight and advanced his MMA record to 10-0 overall.

    For Submission of the Night, Rousimar Palhares made another bid towards becoming the most dangerous leglock specialist in the UFC, needing just 63 seconds to force Mike Massenzio to submit. The heel hook was Palhares' third in the UFC and his fourth leglock finish in the UFC.

    The UFC 142 bonuses set at $65,000 is just $10,000 short of the performance bonuses handed out at UFC 141 in Las Vegas.

    Gabriel Gonzaga Submits Ednaldo Oliveira

    In his first UFC fight since 2010, former heavyweight title contender Gabriel Gonzaga made quick work of the previously unbeaten UFC newcomer Ednaldo Oliveira.

    In the early going Oliveira appeared set to out-box Gonzaga. But a couple minutes into the first round Gonzaga picked Oliveira up and slammed him down, and once the fight was on the ground Gonzaga put his Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt to work: Gonzaga methodically went about taking Oliveira's back and wrapping his arms around Oliveira's neck for a rear-naked choke.

    Once Gonzaga had the choke in, there was nothing left for Oliveira to do but tap the mat to end the fight. Gonzaga had won.

    "It felt great to be back in the Octagon. I showed that I still have my BJJ skills in there tonight," Gonzaga said afterward. "My time away from the UFC was good for me. I dealt with some personal business in my life and came back refocused. Before, I was training well, but my mind just wasn't in it. Now, I'm back, I feel great. I'm focused and I showed that by beating a 13-0 fighter."

    It was a solid performance by Gonzaga, who improves his overall MMA record to 13-6. After losing to Brendan Schaub in 2010, Gonzaga initially said he would retire from MMA. But it's good to see him back in the Octagon: He's still capable of fighting at a high level, even if Oliveira didn't give him much of a test.

    As for Oliveira, who drops to 13-1-1, he's a fine young fighter, but not good enough on the ground to deal with someone of Gonzaga's skill level. He found that out the hard way.

    Thiago Tavares Beats Sam Stout

    In a hard-fought 15-minute battle at UFC 142, Thiago Tavares defeated Sam Stout by unanimous decision.

    It was a fight that easily could have gone either way, and in fact all three rounds were close enough that they could have gone either way. The individual scores were not announced at the end of the fight, but Tavares won on all three judges' cards.

    The win improves Tavares's MMA record to 17-4-1. Stout, who was fighting for the first time since the death of his coach, close friend and brother-in-law Shawn Tompkins, suffers a tough loss and falls to 17-7-1.

    "Sam Stout was the toughest opponent I've ever faced and this is the biggest win of my career. I thought about this fight for a long time," Tavares said afterward. "I have to be honest: of all the ways I saw this fight going, I never expected to beat him striking. I tried to take the fight to the ground, but he has great takedown defense. The fight stayed on the feet and I was able to win there. I want another big name next."

    Early in the first round Tavares made it obvious that his game plan was to get the fight to the ground, and he generally executed that game plan effectively, clinching with Stout, slamming him down and briefly attempting a guillotine choke. But Stout did a nice job of getting out of the choke and into a dominant position before getting back to his feet and landing some good punches late in a close and fairly even first round.

    In the second round it became much more Stout's kind of fight, as he kept it standing and began to land effectively, although Tavares also landed a kick that opened up a cut on the side of Stout's head. Each of the first two rounds was close enough that it was conceivable for the judges to score it either way.

    Tavares seemed to be comfortable and in control for most of the third round, and it appeared that the fight was going his way. At the end of the round, however, Stout began to unload, landing some hard shots in the final 20 seconds of the round. Tavares appeared to be hurt as the fight came to a close, but Stout hadn't done quite enough, and Tavares escaped with a win.
    "I thought I took rounds two and three, but I just struggled to find my rhythm," Stout said. "My head wasn't in it in the first round. I had a slow start and I have no one to blame but myself for that."

    Edson Barboza Knocks Out Terry Etim in Spectacular Fashion

    Edson Barboza is still undefeated, and he ran his record to a perfect 10-0 with an absolutely sensational knockout of Terry Etim at UFC 142.

    After getting the better of Etim in the stand-up in the first and second rounds, Barboza put on a show in the third, with a spinning wheel kick that landed perfectly to Etim's chin and knocked him cold.

    Etim was obviously out cold the instant the kick landed, and he fell straight backward onto the canvas.

    Etim immediately went for a takedown in the opening seconds of the first round, and it was obvious that he didn't want to stand with Barboza, who's a lethal striker. But Barboza showed great takedown defense and did a nice job of sweeping Etim when the fight did go to the ground, and it was Barboza who kept the fight standing, landed solid leg kicks and controlled the first round of the fight.

    The second round was more of the same: Barboza got the better of the striking exchanges, and when Etim managed to take Barboza down, Barboza popped right back up. Etim actually landed a couple of effective kicks in the second round, but Barboza was the one landing the harder kicks and following them with punches, and it was Barboza controlling the fight in the stand-up.

    And then came the third, when Barboza had one of the greatest highlight-reel knockout kicks you'll ever see. It was a brilliant striking display from a great young fighter.

    "When you fight in Brazil, it's unlike fighting in any other place in the world. In a fight, you try things and hope they work," Barboza said. "Tonight, it (the kick) worked. It's something I've practiced a lot and I finally was able to land it hard. I'm happy with this outcome and you can expect more of that soon."

    Erick Silva Disqualified by Referee Mario Yamasaki

    We have a major controversy at UFC 142.

    Erick Silva, one of the most exciting young welterweights in mixed martial arts, was disqualified despite putting on a great show in his native Brazil because referee Mario Yamasaki ruled that Silva had landed illegal punches to the back of opponent Carlo Prater's head.

    Silva swarmed on Prater from the opening bell, landing a hard knee at the start of the fight to knock Prater down and then pummeling Prater with hammer fists on the ground until Yamasaki had no choice but to step in and stop the fight after just 29 seconds. But while it looked like Silva would win by TKO, instead Yamasaki disqualified him.

    "I'm not a judge. I didn't stop the fight," Prater said. "All I know is that he hit me and it sent a shock of pain through my body unlike anything I've ever experienced. I don't know if the shots were legal. I just know it was unlike anything I've ever felt."

    Yamasaki was briefly interviewed by UFC announcer Joe Rogan after the fight, and Rogan was incensed, insisting that all of Silva's fights were legal. Yamasaki, however, insisted that Silva did hit Prater on the back of the head, and Yamasaki said that once he made his decision it was final.

    "I had to decide right there and then. There's nothing I can do," Yamasaki said.

    Silva showed a great deal of class after the fight and declined to criticize Yamasaki, even though he was obviously disappointed to have lost a fight he dominated.

    "I have great respect for the referee but I see that most of them hit the side of the head. I don't see that any of them hit the back of the head," Silva said.

    Silva has now fought twice in the UFC, for a total of just 1 minute, 9 seconds. He made his UFC debut at UFC 134 and beat Luis Ramos by TKO in just 40 seconds. Technically, his record has now dropped to 13-2, but there's no question that Silva was the better fighter in the Octagon on Saturday night, even as he walks away with a disappointing loss.

    Rousimar Palhares Submits Mike Massenzio

    Rousimar Palhares did what everyone expected him to do at UFC 142: He grabbed hold of Mike Massenzio's leg and didn't let go until Massenzio tapped out.

    Palhares is a brilliant Brazilian jiu jitsu practitioner who is widely regarded as having the best leg locks in MMA and he showed that off on Saturday night, forcing Massenzio to tap out to a heel hook just a minute into the first round.

    "I'm super happy," Palhares said afterward, before dedicating the fight to a friend who recently died.

    Palhares is now 14-3 in his MMA career, with 10 wins by submission, and five of those 10 submissions coming by heel hook. Palhares has found a move that he can execute as well as anyone, and he keeps going back to it.

    Massenzio is a fine fighter, but he's not on Palhares' level, and this was an easy victory for Palhares. Massenzio falls to 13-6 in his MMA career, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's released by the UFC.

    "That's a world-class athlete who was the better fighter tonight. I had the best camp of my career," Massenzio said after the fight. "I just got stuck. It wasn't my night. I'm really disappointed."

    Palhares, however, has a lot of big fights left in the middleweight division. He's a threat to anyone -- especially when he locks onto your leg.

    Vitor Belfort Submits Anthony Johnson

    One of the most popular Brazilian fighters in the UFC put on a show back home on Saturday night.

    Vitor Belfort, who has been with the UFC longer than any active fighter and is a star in his homeland, fought in Brazil for the first time since 1998 and pulled off a first-round submission victory over Anthony Johnson at UFC 142.

    In the early going Johnson appeared to have Belfort in trouble, but Belfort maintained his composure, got the fight to the ground and steadily transitioned into a dominant position, taking Johnson's back on the ground. Belfort sunk in a rear-naked choke and Johnson tapped out with just 11 seconds left in the first round.

    "A loss is a loss. My legs just got really tired," Johnson said after the fight. "I didn't get beat up in there and he really didn't hurt me with what he hit me with. I just got tired. I've got to figure this thing out."

    The fight was marked by controversy beforehand, as Johnson failed to make weight, and there may be more controversy following the fight because referee Dan Miragliotta stood the fighters up twice in the first round for questionable reasons.

    "He kept trying to take me down and I kept fighting it. 'Make him quit.' That was my goal and I did just that," Belfort said of Johnson. "I had the whole country (of Brazil) behind me and I could feel it in there tonight. Next to God and my family, my fans are one of the most important things to me. Rio, America, all over....I love my fans."

    But there's no controversy about this: Belfort put on a tremendous performance. Up next for Belfort is a stint coaching on the upcoming Brazilian season of The Ultimate Fighter, where his opposing coach will be Wanderlei Silva. Belfort will then fight Silva at the end of the season.

    If Belfort looks as good against Silva as he did against Johnson, that's going to be a rough fight for Silva. Belfort is looking good.

    Jose Aldo Knocks Out Chad Mendes at UFC 142, Keeps Featherweight Belt

    Jose Aldo is still the featherweight champion of the UFC.

    Aldo, fighting back home in Brazil for the first time since signing with Zuffa, defeated Chad Mendes by first-round knockout at UFC 142, defending his featherweight title and showing once again that he's among the most lethal strikers in mixed martial arts, in any weight class.

    It was a huge left knee to Mendes' face that knocked Mendes flat on his back, and Aldo then pounced with a couple of punches on the ground before referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight at the 4 minute, 59 second mark of the first round -- just one second remained in the round.

    "I want to thank the home crowd, all my friends who came out," Aldo said afterward. "I'm so happy fighting at home."

    Aldo showed that happiness to be fighting at home by running into the crowd after the fight, where he was mobbed by fans. It could have caused a crowd control problem, as large numbers of fans swarmed around Aldo, but there were no incidents and Aldo eventually made his way back into the Octagon for his post-fight interview.

    The story of the fight before that brutal knee was Mendes' inability to take Aldo down: Mendes tried for takedowns and Aldo had little trouble shaking him off. In the final minute of the fight Mendes did grab hold of Aldo and clinch with him against the fence, and at one point Aldo had to hold the fence to prevent from being taken down. But Aldo bided his time against the fence, saw that opening, and finished things with that knee.

    The win improves Aldo's professional MMA record to 21-1, while Mendes lost for the first time in his career and drops to 11-1.

    "Jose's a great champion. He's a tough dude. That's the best I've felt for any fight, I was very prepared, and he got me," Mendes said afterward. "He was the better man."

    For Mendes, there's no shame in losing to Aldo. Aldo is among the greatest fighters in the sport.

    Die gevechten zijn vet, maar de buitenlanders worden wel genaaid in Brazilië.
    Waarom moest bv Johnsen steeds opstaan, doen ze normaal nooit. Zo kan ik er nog een paar noemen.
    Ik hoop dat Chael-Anderson niet in Brazilië wordt gehouden.

    Ja daar zit wel wat in wat je zegt. Ik had wel het gevoel dat big john zich een beetje liet beinvloeden door het publiek, zodra er boe geroep kwam vanuit het publiek toen ze op de grond lagen liet hij ze op bepaalde momenten te snel weer staan.

    Dat zou voor Chael niet echt positief zijn nee. Maar goed alsnog vette card en vette gevechten, zeker ook die van Vitor!

    Echt vette gevechten inderdaad.
    Wat een dikke ko van Barboza zeg poefffffffffffffffffffff al een tijdje niet zo een mooie ko gezien hoor.#
    Palhares doet weer wat hij erg goed in is, mooie win voor Palhares. Misschien een partij tegen Chris Leben of Rich Franklin nu.
    Vitor Belfort scoorde ook een mooie sub. Ik ben blij dat Antony Johnson heeft verloren, ik mag hem niet echt. Dan ook nog een grote bek hebben nadat je niet eens 185 kan halen. Misschien toch nog naar lightheavyweight :P ?
    DIKKE KO ook voor Jose Aldo, ik dacht WTF doet Aldo nou na z'n winstpartij hahaha ik schrok wel ff
    Trouwens ook leuk dat Gonzaga heeft gewonnen in z'n comeback fight

    De scheids was Dan Miragliotta en niet Big John McCarthy (heb net zijn boek uit, echt een aanrader)

    Zeker een hele gave maincard, zieke KO van Barboza, jammer van de uitkomst van Silva vs Prater en goede finishes van Belfort, Paulhares en Aldo. Beter dan dit wordt het niet snel.

    UFC 142 Morning After: MMA Needs Better Rules and Better Refs

    In the first week of the 2010 NFL season, Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson caught what appeared to be a game winning touchdown pass, only to have a referee overturn the call on an obscure, ill-defined rule about what actually constitutes a catch -- a rule that has come to be known as the Calvin Johnson rule by fans who still have a hard time understanding why Johnson's apparent catch was not a catch.

    Few things bother NFL fans more than the way the NFL's complex rules -- and the referees' enforcement of those rules -- detract from an otherwise thriving sport. The same could be said for MMA, where the UFC and the state athletic commissions have worked together to codify a unified set of rules -- only to find time after time that those rules aren't as clear as they should be, and that referees don't enforce the rules uniformly.

    The latest example came at UFC 142, where referee Mario Yamasaki disqualified Erick Silva for hitting Carlo Prater in the back of the head, even though no one seems to agree about whether a disqualification was the correct response, or even about what constitutes the back of the head.

    UFC President Dana White wrote on Twitter immediately afterward that disqualifying Silva was a "BS call," and he was right: Silva deserved to win. The UFC needs to work with the athletic commissions to more clearly define the rules, and to recruit and train better referees to enforce those rules.

    I don't know what the precise rule on strikes to the back of the head is, and neither do you, and neither does anyone. No one knows because there is no precise definition of "back of the head." Some referees use the term "mohawk," meaning the back of the head is an inch-side strip right in the middle of the back of the head, the area that would be covered by a mohawk haircut. Other referees use the term "earmuffs," meaning the back of the head is a larger area that includes everything that would be behind a pair of earmuffs.

    Under the "mohawk" definition, Silva didn't hit Prater in the back of the head. Under the "earmuffs" definition, Silva did hit Prater in the back of the head.

    UFC announcer Joe Rogan clearly was buying into the "mohawk" definition, and he went off on Yamasaki during an awkward post-fight interview in which Yamasaki clearly wasn't prepared to defend his decision. Yamasaki didn't inspire a lot of confidence by his inability to defend his decision, but in fairness to Yamasaki, referees aren't generally put on the spot the way Rogan put him on the spot, so it's not surprising that Yamasaki was caught off guard.

    Even if you think SIlva did commit a foul by hitting Prater in the "earmuffs" area, Yamasaki didn't handle it the right way. If Silva committed an illegal strike, Yamasaki should have stepped in and taken a point away from Silva, and only stopped the fight after having the doctor check on Prater and determine whether Prater could continue. Instead, Yamasaki stepped in and waved his arms to stop the fight instantly.

    A disqualification for an illegal strike should only take place if the illegal strike is what caused the fight to end. But it appeared that Silva's legal strikes -- a brutal knee to the body and several powerful hammer fists to the side of the head -- were enough to finish Prater off. Prater suggested after the fight that it was really the knee that did him in.

    "I'm not a judge," Prater said afterward. "I didn't stop the fight. All I know is that he hit me and it sent a shock of pain through my body unlike anything I've ever experienced. I don't know if the shots were legal. I just know it was unlike anything I've ever felt."

    It's frustrating for fans -- and could be dangerous for fighters -- to see how inconsistent referees are about enforcing the rule against hitting opponents in the back of the head. For high-profile examples of much more severe strikes to the back of the head that the referees let go, watch Vitor Belfort's victory over Rich Franklin or Shane Carwin's win over Frank Mir. In those fights, the victors landed much harder strikes to the back of the loser's head, and the referees let those strikes go. Consistency is needed in refereeing of any sport, and it's seriously lacking in MMA.

    UFC 142 Notes
    -- Gabriel Gonzaga landed only four strikes in his win over Ednaldo Oliveira, according to CompuStrike. But Gonzaga successfully completed both of his takedown attempts, achieved two dominant positions on the ground, and sunk in a rear-naked choke to end it. Gonzaga said, "I'm back," afterward, but that remains to be seen -- beating Oliveira doesn't prove that Gonzaga is back to his previous form as one of the elite heavyweights in the world. But there's no question that a fighter with Gonzaga's Brazilian jiu jitsu skills can make short work of a guy with a rudimentary ground game like Oliveira.

    -- Vitor Belfort finished Anthony Johnson off in the first round, a day after Johnson came in overweight by 11 pounds, and UFC President Dana White said afterward that he plans to cut Johnson. It's a shame that a fighter as talented as Johnson is losing his job, but if you can't make weight, you can't fight. And Johnson has repeatedly failed to make weight.

    UFC 142 Quotes
    -- "This was my first fight without Shawn. It was definitely an adjustment not having him in my corner. I hope Shawn would be proud."--Sam Stout, losing a tough decision in the first fight since his coach, friend and brother-in-law Shawn Tompkins died.

    -- "I went out there and proved to the people of Brazil that I belong in the Octagon. He was a very tough opponent. I had a tough camp and battled some injuries, but I was able to get in there tonight and control the striking and win."--Felipe Arantes, who put on a good showing in his victory over Antonio Carvalho and appeared ecstatic to win in front of his fans back home in Brazil.

    -- "This was like the World Cup for me tonight. To fight against a veteran like him was a true honor. I hope this win proved to the UFC that I'm ready for the main card. I felt like a complete fighter in there tonight."--Yuri Alcantara, using a soccer analogy to describe the feeling of beating Michihiro Omigawa at home in Brazil.

    Good Call
    -- When the first fight went to the judges' scorecards, it was a relief to hear all three judges get it right -- 29-28 for Felipe Arantes over Antonio Carvalho. Arantes clearly took the second and third rounds and deserved to win the fight, and it was also good to see that the judges didn't favor the Brazilian in the first round, as the Canadian Carvalho got off to a good start and deserved to win the first.

    Bad Call
    --Thiago Tavares took a unanimous decision over Sam Stout in a fight that easily could have been 29-28 either way. But the bad call was UFC announcer Bruce Buffer not announcing the judges' scores -- the fans were left with no idea how the judges arrived at their unanimous decision for Tavares, just that Tavares had won by unanimous decision. Announcing the scores is a must, especially in a decision so close.

    Stock Up
    Edson Barboza is now 10-0 in his MMA career after an incredible knockout kick of Terry Etim. We already knew Barboza was one of the most explosive strikers in the lightweight division, but no one could have predicted that he'd produce one of the all-time great knockouts against a good opponent like Etim. Barboza might struggle against some of the lightweight division's top wrestlers, but as a striker he's just about as good as it gets at 155 pounds.

    Stock Down
    Michihiro Omigawa has now lost three of his four fights since returning to the UFC early last year, after getting thoroughly dominated by Yuri Alcantara. Omigawa went on a tear in Japan in 2009 and 2010 and looked like one of the best featherweights in the world, but in the Octagon he simply hasn't been able to get the job done. He might be finished in the UFC.

    Fight I Want To See Next
    Jose Aldo put on such a show against Chad Mendes that I just don't see any challenges emerging for him in the featherweight division. The fight I want to see next is Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar. If Edgar beats Ben Henderson next month, I'd love to see both Aldo and Edgar keep their titles and meet at a catchweight of 150 pounds for a champion vs. champion superfight.

    Normaal gesproken zou het 1 punt eraf zijn bij een illegal blow en als hij niet door kan gaan: automatisch DQ. Het vervelende is alleen dat Yamasaki met zijn armen zwaaide alsof het afgelopen was.
