UFC 91- More 1st Round Endings Than You Can Count…
Sunday, November 16th, 2008UFC 91 was an exciting event with many first round victories for the main card. The first fight of the main card being Nate Quarry vs Demian Maia which ended only 2:13 into the first round via a rear naked choke submission by Maia. The second fight was Gabriel Gonzaga vs Josh Hendricks which ended with a solid right punch to the jaw of Hendricks and two somewhat undesired blows by Gabriel Gonzaga to Hendricks while on the ground ending the fight 1:01 into the first round. The next fight was Tamdan McCrory vs Dustin Hazelett, both fighters exchanged some lightning fast punches, but Hazelett was the victor 3:59 into the first round. See the trend here? The final main card fight ending in the first round was Kenny Florian vs Joe Stevenson. Florian put on one hell of a performance, excellent muay thai skills followed up with amazing BJJ. Florian quickly passed Stevenson’s guard and won with a rear naked choke 4:03 into the first round.
The final main card fight of the night was the fight we were all waiting for. Brock Lesnar versus Randy Couture. What an upset for all of us Randy fans. Randy held his own in the first and the second until getting caught with a punch somewhat to the back of the head / temple, which dropped Randy to the mat, only to catch a ton of hammer punches from Brock. Hats off to Brock, he will soon take on the victor of the Frank Mir vs Antonio Nogueira fight and loose to either opponents excellent BJJ.
