Aug 01 UFC on Versus 2 Quick Results

So much for my predictions. The main event was a no brainer, and Jon Jones made short work of The Janitor, Matyushenko. Several people on the social network sites starting crying foul at what they felt was a quick stoppage, but the rules are clear and fighters must, at all times, be able to intelligently defend theemselves. Facet of the matter is, Matyushenko was caught in a crucifix position, with Jones reining down blows across the mostly undefended face of Matyushenko. The rest of the card, however, went the other way for me, as Okami was able to stick to his gameplan and outfight Munoz for 3 rounds, Ellenberger saw his opponent stopped by the doctor due to what looked like a broken orbital bone, and Gomi shocked the crowd by knocking out Griffin for the first time in his career.
