Johnny Eduardo vs. Alejandro Perez

Round 1 – We’re off. The action has begun, marking Johnny Eduardo’s first competition in over three years. He’s getting up there in age. Let’s see how he looks. The two fighters touch gloves. That’s surprising to see, considering the animosity shown at yesterday’s weigh-ins. Perez lands a leg kick and a jab to the body. Eduardo tries a kick and punch of his own, but both whiff. Both fighters miss. Perez jabs, and jabs again. A looping overhand right from Eduardo misses but he follows it up with another punch that connects. Eduardo pelts Perez’s lead leg with an outside kick – and another. Eduardo lands a body punch. He switches stances and rips Perez’s body with a kick. Both fighters sling in the pocket. Looks like Eduardo landed the better shots. Perez looked briefly stunned. Head movement galore for Perez, who rocks his body funkily back-and-forth in an exaggerated motion – a taunt, perhaps. Weird visual, regardless. Perez checks a kick but eats a straight jab from Eduardo. An outside leg kick lands for Perez, which he follows with a punch to the head of Eduardo. A spinning backfist misses for Perez before the round ends. Eduardo looked good in his first round in years. 10-9 Eduardo.

Round 2 – The fighters exchange leg kicks, picking up where they left off in Round 1. Coming out of the corner, Eduardo’s left eye looked busted. Now it looks even more swollen. That’s certainly something to watch. Perez gets aggressive but Eduardo calms the pace with a spinning back kick to the chest. Perez jabs the body again. Eduardo catches a lazy Perez knee and takes him to the canvas. In Perez’s guard, Eduardo scoots over to the fence and lands an elbow. Perez tries to scramble up but Eduardo is too strong on top. Perez rolls to his side and explodes to his feet against the fence. He eats a few shots but ultimately gets away from Eduardo. Bombs are slung by Perez. He’s throwing everything he has but is missing. Perez shoots for a takedown of his own and gets it. Eduardo briefly threatens a submission off his back but returns to guard. Perez rises to his feet and lands a hard ground-and-pound shot to Eduardo’s head. Eduardo scrambles for a leg but Perez threatens a guillotine. Eduardo rolls to his back. The sequence repeats and Perez lands in side control. Eduardo is very leery of Perez’s guillotine threats. From side control, Perez isolates an arm – and gets the tap! Wow. That’s an unusual one – a straight armbar. He took Eduardo’s left arm, stuck it between his own legs and grabbed hold of Eduardo’s neck – and cranked. That looked painful. Anyway, Perez wins by submission.

Result: Alejandro Perez def. Johnny Eduardo via submission (armbar) – Round 2, 4:13

Stephanie Egger vs. Shanna Young

Round 1 – Both fighters are super patient here early on. Young throws a pair of slow left hands that miss. Egger catches a Young kick, but isn’t able to get the takedown against the fence. Young breaks free and the two fighters circle out. Egger feeds Young a one-two combination. A few moments later, the two fighters tie-up and hit the mat in a 50-50 position. Young is working for a leg submission but Egger follows the ankle and escapes away from a heel hook. After a brief struggle for position, Egger ends up in half guard where she lands ground-and-pound. Egger moves to side control and then the crucifix. She’s landing ground-and-pound, which isn’t the heaviest but is amounting to damage. The round ends with Egger on top. 10-9 Egger.

Round 2 – Young misses on a combination. Egger fires back but also misses. A lone right hand from Egger glances Young, who answers with one of her own. Young pressures Egger against the fence after a short combination. Egger swiftly reverses position with a judo throw. Wow, that was beautiful – and it put her in a very advantageous position of side control. Young tries to push off the fence, but Egger catches her and they end up in the same position. Egger pummels away with some ground-and-pound but gives up position to Young, who returns to guard. A heavy Egger elbow thuds on the head of Young. Referee Mark Smith didn’t like Young’s response (or lack thereof) and waves off the fight. That was an odd stoppage. Young did cover up and turn away but it was a lone shot – and a delay from the referee. Regardless, the fight’s over. Egger wins for the first time in her UFC career.

Round 1 – Pirrello lands a heavy outside leg kick. The two shadowbox for a bit before de Andrade explodes with a combination that lands. De Andrade cliches Pirrello against the fence before the two break. De Andrade lands a leg kick of his own. Pirrello winds up for a left high kick and eats a short left hand that sweeps him completely off his feet. He’s unconscious! De Andrade lands a follow-up shot and that’s it. What a knockout!

Jamie Mullarkey vs. Devonte Smith

Round 1 – A touch and gloves and we’re off. This could be a banger, folks. Both fighters are throwing hard early. Smith lands a jab and then ducks under Mullarkey’s one-two combination. Mullarkey stalks Smith and lands a hard outside leg kick. Mullarkey tags Smith, who answers with a rocking shot. Mullarkey is stunned but just for a second as he knocks smith over. Smith pops up. It was just a shove while he was off-balance, but it bought Mullarkey the time he needed to recover. A slick Smith combination ends with a thudding knee to the forehead of Mullarkey. That was very audible – a thud. Mullarkey retreats and is bleeding but relatively OK, it seems. Mullarkey lands an inside leg kick. The two fighters tie up and Mullarkey briefly drags Smith to the mat. The round ends with Mullarkey elbowing Smith against the fence. Fun round. 10-9 Smith.

Round 2 – Mullarkey steps in a thrashing leg kick. Smith looks immobilized. I’m not sure if that just stung or shut off some nerves, but Smith definitely looked hobbled. He seems to be moving better on it now. Mullarkey continues to go back to the leg kick, but is being really smart with it. He’s not throwing it often enough where Smith can anticipate it, but continues to chip away from time to time. Mullarkey lands a punch that seemed to bother Smith’s eye. Mullarkey charges forward and unloads on Smith. Oh man, Smith is turning into a punching bag – or a kneeing bag – or an elbowing bag. Mullarkey is unloading. Smith drops after a body shot and Mullarkey follows him down. Mullarkey pummels away as Smith covers up – and that’s it. Dan Miragliotta has seen enough and waves off the fight.

Bethe Correia vs. Karol Rosa

Round 1 – Correia is totally overwhelmed with emotion as she walks out to David Guetta and Sia’s “Titanium.” This will be her final fight. Rosa looks to play the spoiler. Rosa lands the first hard combination of the fight as the two clinch early on. She clearly looks like the faster fighter already. Correia jabs and jabs, but they miss. Rosa grabs hold of the thai clinch and throws knees followed by a leg kick. Correia looks a bit stumped. She was aggressive initially but isn’t throwing much of anything now. Rosa lands a combination as she marches forward. Rosa shoots for a takedown and shoves Correia against the fence. Correia successfully defends. The round ends. Clear 10-9 Rosa.

Round 2 – A hard Rosa knee connects early on Correia. That one hurt. Rosa lands a one-two combination. Correia continues to be in her slump of inactivity. Rosa’s combination frequency is increasing – as is the number of strikes she’s throwing at a time. Correia looks tired. She retreats as Rosa peppers her with strikes.

Round 3 – The final round of Correia’s career is here – and she needs a finish. Rosa comes out kicks-a-blazing but Correia hangs tough. Both fighters throw and land at the same time. Correia rips a two-punch combination to the body. Rosa connects on a leg kick and a knee to the body. The margin of striking abilities is pretty obvious here. Another perfectly-timed counter-knee lands for Rosa. That’s an unusual strike but she’s got her timing down nicely. Rosa still appears to be pretty fresh. Correia is digging deep. Her struggles in this fight have not been due to a lack of effort. Rosa tries an off-balance wheel kick. Yeah, that missed by a mile. Another stepping knee lands – and another. Rosa ties up Correia agains the fence again. There’s a minute left and it appears our streak of finishes tonight will come to an end.

Casey O'Neill vs. Antonina Shevchenko

Round 1 – Two weeks. Two Shevchenko sisters competing. Let’s see if Antonina can follow in the footsteps of her champion sister and get a win. Big step up for O’Neill. The two fighters engage. There’s no feeling out process. Referee Chris Tognoni calls timeout and warns Shevchenko about her fingers. The action resumes. The two fighters clinch and drag each other to the mat. After a brief struggle, Shevchenko ends up on top in side control. She’s working for the crucifix. She’s pummeling away. Tognoni warns O’Neill who scrambles up to her feet.

O’Neill drags Shevchenko backward and gets both hooks in. Shevchenko has wrist control so O’Neill swings around to mount and postures up. Fierce ground-and-pound rains down from O’Neill. Shevchenko gives up her back and O’Neill briefly tries to make her pay with a rear-naked choke but lets go. Shevchenko is defending strikes and submissions as best she can but she needs to find a way out. This is a death trap. O’Neill connects with a few more hard elbows. Tognoni warns. Shevchenko isn’t that hurt but she’s not doing much other than trying buck her opponent off. Dozens of hammerfists come pouring down. Tognoni gives Shevchenko all the time in the world, but she’s trapped. The fight is called off. O’Neill is the real, folks. Not bad for 23.

Jared Gordon vs. Joe Solecki

Round 1 – Less than 15 seconds into the fight, Solecki drags Gordon to the canvas. This is certainly not the start Gordon wanted. If he’s not able to stop those, it’s going to be a long night. That’s Solecki’s game. Gordon scoots across the canvas to the cage but he can’t get Solecki off him. Solecki moves to side control and lands some short shots. Gordon tries to use the fence to circle away from danger but Solecki rotates with him and gets his back with both hooks in. There’s still over three minutes left in the round and both men have barely broken a sweat. Solecki whacks Gordon and goes for a rear-naked choke but his arm is over the mouth. He lets go. Gordon shimmies out of one of the hooks but Solecki puts it right back into place. Solecki smothers Gordon as he tries to roll to mount. Gordon blocks that as Solecki seeks the choke again. No dice. One-and-a-half minutes remain in the round. Gordon rolls and Solecki postures up in the back mount. Gordon rolls again and gets to his feet. Solecki climbs up him and attacks a standing guillotine. Gordon dumps Solecki to the canvas and scoots to side control. Nice reversal but he doesn’t have much time to work. Gordon lands a couple short elbows, but they don’t have a ton of zip on them. That’s easy for me to say since I’m not getting hit with them, I know. The round ends with Gordon on top. 10-9 Solecki.

Round 2 – Solecki comes out and immediately dives for Gordon’s legs. Gordon defends against the fence. Solecki shoves Gordon into the chainlink. Gordon tries some Travis Browne elbows, which get Solecki’s attention. Solecki dives in for another takedown. If there was a crowd, they’d likely be booing this strategy. Gordon whacks Solecki with a few more hard shots. Solecki does not want to give up the attempt. Eventually, his effort pays off. Solecki gets Gordon down. Gordon reverses and ends up in Solecki’s guard. Not much action but Gordon is controlling. He finishes out the round on top. 19-19.

Round 3 – In the opening minute of the final round, there seems like there’s been more striking than the rest of the fight combined. Both men are tired and their strikes perhaps don’t have their usual zip on them, but they’re still trying. Gordon shoots for a takedown but is stuffed. Gordon shoves Solecki against the fence. In a lackluster Round 3 of a close fight, any sort of controlling positioning could edge this out. They separate. Gordon dips in again and gets a takedown on Solecki against the fence. Solecki gets up and separates. The two fighters throw and miss. Yeah, these guys are tired. Gordon lands an overhand left and then a right hand. They tie up center-cage and Gordon walks Solecki back to the fence. There’s blood coming from somewhere. Perhaps a clash of heads? Looks like Solecki’s left brow is sliced. They separate, take a deep breath and move forward once again. Solecki stings Gordon with a left hand as the clock ticks past 10 seconds left in the round. The round – and the fight – ends. It could go either way, but MMA Junkie scores it 29-28 Gordon.
