UFC on Versus Recap

Versus was home to some of the best fights in recent memory, from a brawling Main Event (that was marred by a bad decision) to Brian Bowles' TWIN victory over Damacio Page. Let's break it down a little further:

The Main Event

Diego Sanchez vs Martin Kampmann was one of the most horrific massacres since Diego Sanchez vs Clay Guida or Diego Sanchez vs BJ Penn....let's face it, Diego Sanchez can brawl. But, that's about all he could do against Kampmann. Sanchez landed a single takedown out of 15 attempts, and after taking the fight to the ground, it only lasted for a fraction of a minute.

While Diego Sanchez landed 45 strikes (27%), Martin Kampmann connected on a total of 97 (47%) So not only was Kampmann more accurate, but he landed a LOT more strikes. Kampmann dominated the stand up and the ground game (or lack of).

While Deigo scored a single takedown, Kampmann stuffed 14 attempts and scored a knock down. Again, Diego scored 0. Kampmann also landed a strike while on the ground; Sanchez landed none.

So this all begs the question...how the fuck did Diego Sanchez win the fight? He landed less punches, less relevant punches, less leg kicks, scored 1 takedown out of 15 attempts and was beaten beyond recognition. The answer, as sad as it is....uneducated judges.

It is clear by these statistics that Kampmann dominated every aspect of the fight. What the judges saw however, was Sanchez stalking Kampmann and throwing wild flurries. What they missed, Kampmann landing technically perfect counter-strikes and using his head movement to avoid almost every single punch thrown. They saw 1 takedown, and missed Kampmann stuffing 14 attempts. The judges missed the technical aspect of the fight. When you have people's paygrade resting on your decision that is something you can't afford to miss.

Kampmann won.

Who? Where? What am I?

In the night's Co-Main Event, C.B. Dollaway got knocked into next week by Mark Munoz. In less than a minute, the Fillipino struck with a vicious straight followed up with some ground and pound.

How did C.B. respond? Acting like a goof and arguing with the referee. Truthfully, Mario Yamasaki made a great call that every other referee would have made. When a fighter gets his head caved in by a little brown man, you stop the fight. It wasn't just a knock-out though, C.B. Dollaway looked like he came back into consciousness with a serious case of Autism. He looked like he just caught his father butt fuckig the family pet. It was one of the greatest post K.O. faces in MMA history.

The problem with C.B. is he's a dick. He has faced mediocre competition and really thinks he is in the top of the division. NO C.B. you aren't. You are not. And now, you aren't even in the middle of the division. While C.B. thinks Top Ten, the rest of us think, "Who the FUCK is C.B. Dollaway?" You aren't wrong to ask that question, it's ok, don't feel bad. He's a nobody.

What the Fuck?

Brian Bowles fought Damacio Page in 2008 and won at 3:30 of the first round via guillotine choke. Guess how this goofy-haired badass beat Damacio Page the second time? At 3:30 of the first round via guillotine choke.

Good work Brian, good work.
