UFC 75 RESULTS

1. Jess “Joker” Liaudin (-115) defeated Anthony “The Crush” Torres (-115) by referee stoppage at 4:10 in the first round due to strikes. Torres was bleeding from the nose. Liaudin looked very strong.

2. Dennis Siver (+160) defeated Naoyuki Kotani (-200) via knockout at 2:04 in the first round. A decent little upset for those who wagered on Siver, but it’s hardly the biggest of the night.

3. Thiago Silva (-350) defeated Tomasz “Gorilla” Drwal (+275) via referee stoppage at 4:23 of the second round due to punches.

4. Gleison Tibeau (-180) defeated Terry Etim (+150) by a decision after 3 rounds.

5. Houston “The Assassin” Alexander (-180) defeated Alessio “Legionarius” Sakara (+150) in one minute with a flurry of knees and then some wicked ground and pound.

6. “Irish Hand Grenade” Marcus Davis -(205) defeated Paul Taylor (+160) at 4:14 of round one by armbar submission. After being rocked, Davis recovered and transitioned from side control into a full mount. He then slapped on the armbar for the win. Some experts, by the way, seemed to think the fight should have been stopped when Taylor had Davis in serious trouble. But it wasn’t, and that’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

7. “The French Sensation” Cheick Kongo (+280) defeated Mirko Cro Cop (-360) by unanimous decision after 3 rounds. Wow! The +280 underdog picks up the win, and we might have very well seen the end of Cro Cop in the UFC (or anywhere else, for that matter). Kongo did a nice job of pressing Mirko against the cage, delivering knees (including a few low ones) and basically just eating up time and picking up the win. It wasn’t pretty, but he got it done. The final scores were all 29-28 for Kongo.

8. Michael “The Count” Bisping (-225) defeats Matt “The Hammer” Hamill(+185) by split decision after 3 rounds (29-28, 27-30, 29-28). A very close fight, and Bisping may have very well got the hometown decision. Still, he continues to roll on along.

9. Quinton “Rampage” Jackson defeats Dan “Hollywood” Henderson by unanimous decision after 5 rounds (48-47. 49-46, 49-46). A competitive fight which might not appeal to the casual fan (as it didn’t feature two men hitting each other in the head for the whole fight). Still, Jackson got out with the win over a very tough opponent. He is now the unified champion, and it will be interesting to see what the UFC does with that.
