Detailed Results:
Nick Diaz vs. Koji Oishi
Complete mismatch. Oishi came in with a completely unorthodox standing
style. His hands were way down from covering his head, and Diaz with an
overwhelming reach advantage and improved striking took out the #3
rated Welterweight Pancrase fighter in Koji Oishi, with a knockdown
from a big left hand followed by some ground and pound to a referee
stoppage, a little over a minute into round one.
Winner: Nick Diaz via TKO (punches) in Round 1.
David "The Crow" Loiseau vs. "Chainsaw" Charles McCarthy
Good fight. First round was pretty even, edge to Loiseau. McCarthy was
able to get the fight on the ground where he wanted, and even managed
to get Loiseau's back. He attempted a rear naked choke, but Loiseau
defended well and was able to reverse McCarthy and gain the top
position. The fight got back to the feet, and Loiseau controlled for
the most part to finish the round, missing a huge flying leg kick/knee
shot at the end of the round. Good first round, pretty close. Could
have gone either way, I'd give a slight edge to Loiseau.
Awesome finish here in round two. Loiseau lands a spinning back-kick
flush around the liver area of McCarthy. McCarthy grimised in pain as
he backed straight up, allowing Loiseau to come in landing a flying
knee that dropped McCarthy. From there, Loiseau finished up with a
couple of punches and the referee stopped the fight giving "The Crow"
the win via TKO in round 2.
Winner: David "The Crow" Loiseau via TKO (back-kick/punches) in Round
2.
Nate "Rock" Quarry vs. "Mr. International" Shonie Carter
Awesome entrance by Shonie Carter including some cool music, a pimp
walking cane and a pimp cup like rapper Lil' Jon carries around.
Quarry's entrance was uneventful. Anyways, first round saw Quarry come
out strong but getting nailed clean with a hard shot from Carter. That
would be pretty much all Carter would amount in the offensive
department as it was Quarry dispatching of the cagey veteran by
knocking him down twice with a devestating right hand. The second time
he came in to finish with punches, but the referee was already stopping
the fight giving Quarry the win via TKO in round 1.
Winner: Nate "Rock" Quarry via TKO (punches) in Round 1.
"The Head Hunter" Paul Buentello vs. Kevin Jordan
This was the pay-per view opener. Very weird entrance music and octagon
walk by Kevin Jordan, newcomer to the UFC. Buentello comes out in
yellow as usual. Awesome fight from the get-go with Buentello getting
rocked bad early, seemingly on the brink of defeat. He managed to turn
it around nearly knocking out Jordan many times, but also getting
caught with some big shots in the process as well. The fight ends when
it hits the floor and Buentello manages to secure a single-arm
guillotine, almost a side neck-crank for the tapout and the submission
victory in round 1.
Winner: "The Head Hunter" Paul Buentello via Submission (neck-crank) in
Round 1.
Forrest Griffin vs. Bill Mahood
The PPV debut for the winner in the 205 lb. division of "The Ultimate
Fighter" reality show on SpikeTV in Forrest Griffin, against tough
Canadian fighter Bill Mahood. Both guys came out swinging a little bit
early, with the fight going to the floor. Griffin gets Mahood's back
and slowly secures a rear naked choke, getting the tapout and
submission victory in round 1.
Winner: Forrest Griffin via Submission (rear naked choke) in Round 1.
Evan Tanner (c) vs. Rich "Ace" Franklin (UFC MW Title)
This is for the UFC Middleweight title. The first defense of the belt
since Murilo Bustamante defended against Matt Lindland back at UFC 37
in May of 2002. Tanner is coming in the champion in the rematch with
Franklin, who beat him the last time they fought at UFC 42 in April of
2003. Many, including Tanner, thought the first fight was stopped a bit
prematurely. He'll get his chance to prove that tonight. Awesome fight
that saw Tanner drop Franklin in the first round with a punch, almost
knocking him out and getting the win, but didn't. From there, it was
Franklin pulverizing Tanner's face all night long for four straight
rounds. The fight was stopped due to a big cut/welt above Tanner's left
eye in the fourth, and as soon as the doctor saw it the fight was
stopped and Rich Franklin was awarded the victory by TKO in round 4,
and the UFC Middleweight championship belt. Evan Tanner's face was an
utter mess.
Winner: Rich "Ace" Franklin via TKO (stoppage) in Round 4 to become UFC
Middleweight champion.
Karo "The Heat" Parisyan vs. Matt "The Terror" Serra
Awesome fight. Much like the last fight, Serra dropped Parisyan in the
first round with a punch, and the rest was all his opponent. Parisyan
had a tight armbar on once, but Serra managed to escape. Parisyan had a
rear naked choke secured, but Serra escaped. On the feet Parisyan was
dominating with strikes and takedowns whenever he wanted, and
brutalized Serra with elbows on the ground, nearly stopping him several
times. When it was all said and done, the former 155 lb. Serra hung in
there at 170 lbs. with one of the top contenders in Karo Parisyan,
managing to take him the distance. It was Parisyan winning an easy
unanimous decision with two judges giving him the fight 3 rounds to 0,
30-27, and one judge scoring it 2 rounds to 1, 29-28, all in favor for
Karo "The Heat" Parisyan.
Winner: Karo "The Heat" Parisyan via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27,
29-28)
"The Pitbull" Andrei Arlovski vs. Justin Eilers
Arlovski was dominating the first round with relative ease, landing
heavy strikes at will against the underdog Eilers. He had Eilers face a
bloody mess, mainly around his nose and mouth. Late in the first round
Eilers planted his foot wrong and popped his knee or somewhere on his
leg and collapsed, grabbing his leg. Arlovski jumped on top with
punches and the referee stopped the fight. The winner by TKO in round 1
due to injury stoppage and still interim UFC Heavyweight champion "The
Pitbull" Andrei Arlovski.
Winner: "The Pitbull" Andrei Arlovski via TKO (injury stoppage) in
Round 1.

first time against the first guy ever to beat him in MMA, making his
UFC return - Jeremy Horn.

Arsdale to headline the undercard.
