Jeremy Stephens vs. Melvin Guillard
Round 1
Guillard swings with a wild overhand right to start the round, but Stephens ducks and counters with a right hook of his own, dropping Guillard to his butt, but not hurting “The Young Assassin.” Guillard pops right back up, and after a few moments charges Stephens, throwing lots of punches but landing none of them. Back in the center of the cage, Guillard is now finding the range with his overhand right. Guillard is light on his feet and now throwing nice one-twos. In contrast Stephens looks stiff, though landing body kicks here and there. As the round comes to a close, Guillard continues to dart in and out with strikes and Stephens continues to try to counter, but neither man lands anything significant.
Round 2
Stephens lands a stinging leg kick to start the second frame. Guillard continues to use the push kick to set up his heavy right hand. Guillard lands a left kick to the body and presses the action. “Lil' Heathen” lands a nice right uppercut – left hook counter combination. Now Stephens is the one moving forward. Guillard catches Stephens with a low kick to the cup, and referee Josh Rosenthal stops the action briefly. Stephens recovers fast and lands another hard kick to Guillard's lead leg. Stephens catches Guillard with an accidental eye poke, but Guillard is not fazed. Within seconds, Stephens catches Guillard with what appeared initially to be a low blow, but upon further investigation, it appears the kick was clean. As action resumes, Stephens counters another Guillard right hand with a pretty uppercut. Now Stephens is landing cleanly, first with a leg kick and then with a kick to the body. Stephens continues to press forward, and lands another body kick as the round ends.
Round 3
Guillard starts the round with combinations, but Stephens counters with that same stinging leg kick. He lands two more. Guillard lands a left hook flush to the cheek of Stephens. Guillard is using his speed advantage to land straights to the head and body. Now Guillard is increasing his work-rate but landing nothing meaningful. Both men look content to stay on the outside and not risk an exchange in tight. Stephens lands a big left uppercut to Guillard's torso, but Guillard isn't hurt. The crowd boos the lack of action. As the horn sounds, it's Stephens moving forward and landing a body kick.
Official scores: 29-28 Stephens, 29-28 Guillard and 30-27 Guillard. Melvin Guillard takes the split decision.
Evan Dunham vs. Sean Sherk
Round 1
Round 1
The lightweights touch gloves as the round begins, and Dunhan is feinting with his jab early on. Sherk lands a short leg kick, but Dunham is doing an excellent job of keeping his distance until Sherk closes and slams Dunham to the mat. Dunham has a tight guillotine locked up, but Sherk stays calm and wiggles his way out of the submission attempt. Now Dunham is working from the butterfly guard, trying to land short elbows, but Sherk is in control. Dunham scrambles to his feet, using the cage to regain his base. Sherk immediately locks his hands in a double-leg and once again slams Dunham on his back. Dunham again scrambles to his feet and nearly catches Sherk in a guillotine before gaining back control. Sherk escapes quickly and cuts Dunham with a nasty elbow from Dunham's guard. Dunham's cut is gushing blood, and referee Rob Hinds calls the doctor over. Dunahm is given the OK to continue, and the round ends.
Round 2
The cut over Dunahm's right eye is massive. Sherk starts the second stanza by getting his shot stuffed, but the stocky lightweight is relentless, again digging for a double-leg. Dunham locks up a tight guillotine yet again, but someone Sherk escapes defeat. Back on their feet, Sherk presses Dunham against the cage, and is content to give up his neck once again to a guillotine choke. After another scramble, Sherk is controlling Dunham with a front headlock. Back in the center of the Octagon, Dunham is once again trying to use his reach, despite wearing a crimson mask over the right side of his face. Dunham is really turning it up now, landing punches and kicks from the outside and two flying knees to end the round.
Round 3
After a brief exchange, Dunham lands a right high kick that wobbles Sherk, who immediately shoots for a takedown. Dunham pummels for an underhook, but Sherk manages to complete the single-leg. Dunham pops right back up and is landing short elbows and hammer fists while his back is against the fence. Now he gets an underhook and shoves off the Muscle Shark. Dunham looks confident with his strikes, and Sherk's reach disadvantage is glaring. Again Sherk digs for a takedown and again Dunham looks for a guillotine. Back in the center of the cage, Dunham is now landing his overhand left regularly. He follows up with two beautifully timed flying knees that stagger the former champion. Sherk is trying desperately to counter, but he has no answer for Dunham's length as the round comes to a close.
Official scores: 29-28 (twice) and 28-29 for the winner by split decision, Sean Sherk. The crowd boos the decision loudly.
Matt Serra vs. Chris Lytle
Round 1
Round 1
As the fight begins, both fighters are throwing with bad intentions, with Lytle targeting the stocky Serra's head, while Serra goes after Lytle's ribs with short hooks. Lytle is finding a home for his jab, and Serra's left eye is cut. After a slip and an awkward scramble, Serra lands a solid overhand right. It's a tough round to score so far, as both men are throwing at about the same clip. However, Lytle seems to be getting the better of it, as evidenced by Serra's left eye. Lytle lands two nice right hands, and follows up with a beautiful one-two combo.
Round 2
Now Lytle is really looking to land that right hand, and finally does so, staggering Serra. But the Terror isn't deterred, landing a nice left hook of his own. Like Sherk in the previous fight, Serra is suffering from a significant reach disadvantage, and Lytle is taking advantage, flailing away with haymakers at the round's midpoint. Lytle lands a crisp right hand followed by an uppercut, wobbling Serra once again. Lytle lands more heavy shots, but somehow Serra battles back, landing several blows of his own and bulling Lytle up against the fence. Lytle is on fire now, landing bombs on Serra's face, but somehow the New Yorker stays on his feet. The crowd cheers both fighters as the horn blows to end the round.
Round 3
The friends-turned-foes embrace as the third round begins, and Serra goes back to work with the body shots. Lytle catches Serra with a short uppercut as the Renzo Gracie black belt rushes in after a Lytle slip. Serra looks for an ankle pick, but Lytle slips out of it easily. Serra looks exhausted, landing a leg kick with no snap to it. Serra throws another leg kick, but Lytle catches it and lands more shots. Serra is throwing everything he has into each shot now, but Lytle is the much fresher man. “Lights Out” is keeping Serra on the outside by using his jab, then follows up with several fierce hooks on the inside. Serra throws a high kick, but his leg isn't long enough to reach Lytle's head. The fighters again embrace as the round ends.
Official scores: 30-27 across the board for Chris Lytle, who takes the unanimous decision.
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Ryan Bader
Round 1
Round 1
Bader presses forward as athe fight begins, and Nogueira circles away from the fence. Nogueira is measuring Bader, and lands an overhand left. Minotoro is circling away and looking to counter against the younger fighter. Bader scores a takedown and starts landing devastating ground-and-pound before Nog can push him off and recover guard. Bader is doing nothing spectacular but continues to maul Nogueria with short punches and elbows from top position. Rogerio manages to wall walk and regain a standing base. Nogueira lands a nice kick to Bader's liver and stuff's a takedown. Nog lands a big right hook, but Bader scores a quick takedown. Nog escapes the position and the round ends with both men standing.
Round 2
Bader lands a body kick to start round two. Nog lands a glancing left straight, but Bader comes back with a superman punch. Both men are now feeling each other out at a distance, with neither committing to their strikes. Halfway through the round, Bader counters a Nogueira leg kick with a takedown. Nog lands punches off his back from half-guard and regains his feet. Nog lands a knee as Bader dips his head, but Bader pushes the former Pride star away. Both men throw shots, and Bader connects with a solid right to Nogueira's jaw.
Round 3
The fighters touch gloves to start the round. Both men are standing in the pocket now, and Nogueira catches Bader with an accidental eye poke. Josh Rosenthal halts the action, and Bader recovers quickly, landing a body kick as the fight resumes. Both fighters land shots, and Bader is twice stuffed when trying to take Nog down. Rogerio lands a couple of sharp left hands, and Bader scores a takedown. Nogueira immediately escapes and lands a knee after getting to his feet. Now Nogueira is stalking Bader, looking for an opening. Both men look winded. Neither man can land the big shot they're looking for. Suddenly, they both cut loose and land big shots before Bader scores a takedown. Bader is inactive from Nog's guard as the round ends.
All three official judges see the bout 30-27 for Ryan Bader.
Frank Mir vs. Mirko Filipovic
Round 1
Round 1
The main event begins with both men showing controlled aggression, followed by a feeling out process. Mir rushes forward and tries for a takedown. Cro Cop stuffs it, but is still being pinned against the fence. Filopovic hits Mir with an accidental knee to the groin and Herb Dean halts the fight to allow Mir to recover. As the fight resumes, Mir is aggressive immediately, and Cro Cop circles away. With both men measuring the distance, Cro Cop throws a lead-leg high kick, but it doesn't connect. Mir lands a body kick and presses Cro Cop against the fence before the Croatian shrugs him off. Mir is tenacious, however, and presses Cro Cop against the fence yet again after an exchange standing. Herb Dean has seen enough and restarts the men in the center of the cage. Cro Cop lands a low kick with the round winding down, but Mir counters with an uppercut.
Round 2
Mir pushes forward and CroCop is able to circle away, but neither fighter is landing anything effectively. Mir gets back in the clinch against the cage, but isn't able to work CroCop to the mat. Referee Herb Dead separates the fighters, and after a few more exchanges, Mir pushes the action back against the cage again. The referee steps in again after a lull in action. The fighters stop to look at each other, as the crowd boos in disapproval.
Round 3
Slow moving in the final round as well, but CroCop is a little more aggressive, but still nothing landing solid. Mir gets the clinch again, presses the action against the cage, and it's more of the same from the previous two rounds. Herb Dean separates them again, and it's back to the center. Another quick exchange, and after a brief clinch, Mir connects with a huge knee that drops CroCop, knocking him completely out.
Result: Frank Mir By Knockout
