Light Heavyweight bout: Brazil Luiz Cane vs. Bulgaria Stanislav Nedkov
Luiz Cane was too casual and failed to use his left hand from the southpaw stance to defend against Nedkov’s winging overhand rights. Cane, having bloodied and possibly broken the Bulgarian’s nose, was caught by a right hand as the first round came to a close. Careless defeat for Cane.
Lightweight bout: England Ross Pearson vs. Brazil Edson Barboza
UFC 134 Great first round by Ross Pearson pressurising Edson Barbosa 10-9 Pearson. Barboza lands right which puts Pearson down in the second but he is straight up. A very competitive second round, and a great stand-up fight, Barboza in my my book takes the second round marginally. 19-19.
Heavyweight bout: Brazil Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. United States Brendan Schaub
Another shocker as Big Nog gets a great victory over Brendan Schaub with a left-right but the right hand rocked Schaub and put him down. The Brazilian followed up with several punches, having looked in some trouble himself during the early exchanges. KO for Big Nog, but this fight could have gone either way. Schaub showed he is still raw – and will need to rebuild. I still maintain that Big Nog is vulnerable – but a great victory for him in his home town – a mile from his own gym.
