UFC 119 Results

Oops. Didn't put in my picks for this one. Got busy. Sorry. Let's check out the results of what appeared, on paper, to be an underwhelming card.

Frank Mir def. Mirko Cro Cop (KO3)
This fight was boring as hell. Mirko is NOT a heavyweight. He should cut weitgh to 205 so he can face guys more his size. he runs around the ring looking scared and then does his patented two-handed shove off when opponents get too close. It's ridiculous. Neither fighter was engaging, which led to one of the dullest fights in recent memory. Cro Cop should cut weight or be cut, period. His time is LONG gone.

Ryan Bader def. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (unanimous)
This was hardly a barn burner, either. Bader deserved the nod, though, based on his aggression and takedowns.

Chris Lytle def. Matt Serra (unanimous)
Serra was game, but engaging Lylte in stand-up is pretty silly as far as game plans go. Lytle dominated.

Sean Sherk def. Evan Dunham (split)
Dunham was robbed. This fight represents all that is wrong with judging. Sherk got takedowns, but he laid and prayed. Dunham had more heart.

Melvin Guillard def. Jeremy Stephens (split)
Bad decision.

CB Dollaway def. Joe Doerksen (sub 1)
Joe's never going to live this down in my mind. There's no excuse for losing to this meathead. Embarrassing.

Matt Mitrione def. Joey Beltran (unanimous)
Mitrione got through this by the skin of his teeth. Could have gone either way, I think. He needs to pick up his game.

Thiago Tavares def. Pat Audinwood (sub 1)
Didn't see it.

Waylon Lowe def. Steve Lopez (split)
Didn't see it.

TJ Grant def. Julio Paulino (unanimous)
Didn't see it.

Sean McCorkle def. Mark Hunt (sub 1)
Didn't see it.

Overall, it was a pretty shite event. Let's hope the next one's better - though the card doesn't look so hot.
