An Alternate UFC: Because I SUCK Online

[RyanLeaf16]

If you add CB I stop following.

I hate that fucker.

Damnit!

Well, it was nice having you around...lol

I actually have no idea who I am going to add just yet. I would like to add Couture, Barnett, Shields, Lawler, Overeem, Carwin, Antonio Silva, Jon Jones, Hamill, Pulver and Cote.

There are some others - I am trying to make the roster large enough to really avoid a cycle of fights. I might even add obscure guys, VSN guys, etc.

January 16th, 2010

Headline Event/Heavyweight Match: Cain Velasquez (me) V Minotauro Nogueira
Velasquez continues his rise in the heavyweight ranks thanks to a big win over UFC veteran Minotauro Nogueira.

Nogueira looked to take control on two separate occasions when he was able to score takedowns against Velasquez, but, Velasquez was able to transition out of trouble. Eventually Velasquez was able to stun Nogueira which made him vulnerable to a barrage of Velasquez punches. Referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight after Nogueira could no longer defend himself.
Result: Cain Velasquez wins by TKO 1:21 into the 2nd round


Main Event/Light Heavyweight Match: Forrest Griffin (me) V Chuck Liddell
This was an absolutely brutal fight. Both fighters went at it and landed absolute bombs. Liddell displayed his veteran savvy with a consistent counter-attack. Liddell seemed content to allow the fight, and Griffin, to come to him. Both fighters physically punished each other, but, Forrest Griffin was able to score the knockout with a kick to the head.

FEDOR ARRIVES! Fedor Dominates Lesnar in Winning Heavyweight Title

Fedor forced champion Brock Lesnar to tap-out midway through the 1st round.


UFC 107
February 20th, 2010
Sommet Center - Nashville, TN


Maincard Results:

Welterweight Match: Amir Sadollah V Matt Arroyo (me)
This match went the distance! Both fighters played the fight conservatively, waiting for the other to engage. It was a stand-up fight through nearly the entire fight. Matt Arroyo was able to score one takedown of Sadollah, but, that was it. Each fighter chose to work the body with a variety of punches and kicks. Arroyo was awarded the victory in a unanimous decision by the judges.
Result: Matt Arroyo wins by Unanimous Decision after 3 rounds


Heavyweight Match: Fabricio Werdum V Heath Herring (me)
Excellent fight! This was a fight of contrasting styles. Werdum attempted to work the muay thai clinch throughout the fight. Herring was able to successfully counter with slams. Herring wore down Werdum by landing kicks to the upper body and the head before finally knocking out Werdum just before the end of the 2nd round.
Result: Heath Herring wins by KO 4:44 into the 2nd round


Lightweight Match: Gray Maynard (me) V Tyson Griffin
This was an even fight for the duration of the bout. Both fighters scored knockdowns against the other and both had several takedowns of the other. It looked as if the fight would come down to a judges decision, however, with less than a minute left in the 3rd round, Tyson Griffin was able to land a kill-shot that put Maynard on his back and unconscious to earn the victory.
Result: Tyson Griffin wins by KO 4:03 into the 3rd round


Headline Event/Light Heavyweight Match: Shogun Rua (me) V Jon Jones
Another fight that went the distance. Early on, Rua was dominated by Jones due to an inability to defense Jones' takedowns. Jones was unable to inflict much damage to Rua early on because Rua was able to quickly transition out of each takedown. Regardless, Jones dominated the 1st round. Rua came out for the 2nd round with a varied strategy of quick strikes with multiple takedown attempts. Rua was much more successful in the 2nd round and nealy pulled off a triangle choke for the victory, but Jones was able to escape. Each fighter split the 3rd round, however, due to the amount of takedowns scored by Jones in the 1st, he was granted a unanimous decision victory.
Result: Jon Jones wins by Unanimous Decision after 3 rounds


Main Event/Heavyweight Championship Match: Brock Lesnar (me) V Fedor Emelianenko
The fight itself did not live up to the hype. Brock Lesnar was simply over-matched by Fedor. Lesnar was only able to land a few jabs, hooks and defensed a few takedowns. Fedor, undeterred, finally got Lesnar on the ground and immediately locked in a arm-bar that forced Lesnar to tap-out only a few minutes into the 1st round.
Result: Fedor Emelianenko wins by Submission in the 1st round

UFC 108
March 13th, 2010

Light Heavyweight Match: Brandon Vera (me) V Matt Hamill
Not much to say here. Hamill wins by knee-bar 1 minute into the match.
Result: Matt Hamill wins by Submission in the 1st round


Lightweight Match: Spencer Fisher (me) V Nate Diaz
Another relatively quick match. However, this match was much more entertaining. Both Fisher and Diaz impressed the crowd with their groundwork and transitions. It was really a site to see. Lots of submission attemtps as well. Just before the end of the 1st round though, Nate Diaz was able to lock in a triangle choke on Fisher which led to Fisher tapping out.
Result: Nate Diaz wins by Submission in the 1st round


Welterweight Match: Josh Koscheck (me) V Ben Saunders
Excellent groundwork by both fighters. Koscheck scored multiple takedowns as well.

Koscheck kept working the tender upper body of Saunders before a kick to Saunders' head put him out for the night.
Result: Josh Koscheck wins by KO 3:00 minutes into the 2nd round


Headline Event/Heavyweight Match: Antonio Silva (me) V Shane Carwin
Antonio Silva really impressed the UFC fans throughout this fight. Silva was able to stun Shane Carwin multiple times early in the fight. However, Carwin was able to recover and avoid a KO or TKO. Silva continued to take the offensive and utilized takedowns as a means to soften up Carwin. Silva also attempted a number of submissions with no success. Finally, a kick to the head knocked out Carwin and sealed the victory for Silva.
Result: Antonio Silva wins by KO 3:30 into the 2nd round


Main Event/Middleweight Championship Match: Anderson Silva (title holder/me) V Dan Henderson
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT! This match really lived up to it's billing as the main event. Both Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson went at each other! Both fighters recorded multiple takedowns of the other and the ground game for each fighter was amazing! The transitions and submission escapes were really something special. I am of the opinion that Henderson won the 1st round. While Silva dominated the 2nd round. However, even with the offensive nature of the fight, both competitors seemed to have a lot of strenth and stamina left. It looked as if the fight may go the distance. However, late in the 3rd round, after a barrage of kicks and punches for each fighter, Silva landed a clean kick to the head against Henderson who fell to the mat for the immediate knockout.
Result: Anderson Silva wins by KO 4:12 into the 3rd round

This was a stand-up fight throughout. Neither fighter really looked to take this to the mat. Both fighters were being defensive for the duration of the bout.

Thales Leites: "I want a shot at Anderson Silva."

At 16-2, Thales Leites feels he's earned a shot at the middleweight title

At 14-2, Thales Leites felt he was ready for a shot at the middleweight title. It didn't come. Instead, Leites, 28, took on Yushin Okami at UFC 103 and scored a decisive victory. Leites thought he was next in line for a title shot after the victory. Instead, it went to Dan Henderson who beat rival Michael Bisping at UFC 100.

Not to be deterred, Leites bided his time till his next match. It was against Michael Bisping. Fans of MMA and the UFC thought that this would be Leites' final exam - if he could beat Bisping, he deserved to be mentioned as a possible contender with Anderson Silva.

"I always thought I was a contender. I was shocked that Demian Maia got a shot. I knew from the start that Anderson [Silva] would chew him up and spit him out...and he did." Leites said.

Leites quickly disposed of Bisping at UFC 109 with a first round submission via Kimura. Bisping has even come out in support of Leites for a title shot.

"He's a good lad. He did a number on me and showed me just how dangerous he can be on his back." Bisping said referring to his submission defeat at UFC 109.

For now, there is no clear-cut #1 contender, but, many around the UFC believe that Leites will be getting his shot at Anderson Silva - possibly at the end of this year.

Couple of notes:

- I am moving up a difficulty level...again...hopefully, I can handle expert better than before.

- I have finally figured out how to get my capture card to work. So, I am thinking of making a highlight video of each PPV card so you can actually see what happened. Or I may just record the main event so you can watch one of the matches.

Let me know what you guys think of the video idea. I think it might be cool to watch the main event for each PPV yourself and just report on the rest. Or, I could TRY and make a highlight video for the entire PPV. I still have to get used to using the editing software and all that stuff, so...the first few vids may be rough.

EDIT: Below is a test video I made. It is not the actual main event from my PPV card. It is just a practice match that I did to test out if I got the software working with the PS3. As you can see, my editing is all sorts of fucked up as the first few scenes are mid-fight, then it cuts to the very beginning. It's really just a test and it is for practice. Obviously, I also cut a lot out. Normally, the match will be in it's entirety. Also, I apologize for the quality. I can't get the capture card to capture HD. Also, check out the sweet-ass move I make to evade a Thiago Alves kick!
