Thumbnail-In Case You Missed It: UFC
Fight Night 75
Heavyweight
record for significant strikes is now at 146, thanks to Josh Barnett and, as
importantly, Roy Nelson’s chin. Barnett kept the pressure on “Big Country”
throughout the 5 rounder and earned the Unanimous Decision. This fight should
serve notice to all HW contenders: if you find yourself, back against the fence,
in a clinch and “The Warmaster” towers before you, get out of there. Barnett’s
clinch-work is superb. He controlled Nelson against the cage, landing elbows
and body shots, just picking away at him.
Two
Middleweights, two distinct game plans. Gegard Mousasi scored an early take
down in the first and spent 4:38 of the round on top. As all rounds start on
their feet, Uriah Hall had another chance to utilize his plan. Jumping spin
kick, followed by a flying knee and finishing punches, ended the match at 0:25
in the 2nd round. This marks Hall’s 8th career KO and the
first time Mousasi has been KO’d.
Two fights in 2015, two first round TKO wins for TUF 14
Winner, Diego Brandao. This one occurred at 0:28 over Katsunori Kikuno.
Kyoji Horiguchi bounced back, from his loss to Mighty Mouse
for the Flyweight title, with an UD win over Chico Camus.
Make it 15 of 21 wins by decision for Takeya Mizukaki. Mizukaki
earned a Unanimous Decision victory over George Roop. Roop slides to 15-12.
Lost in the event, the reality show finale ended in a draw. Mizuto Hirota and Teruto Ishihara will both get 6 figure UFC contracts.
