Did Fedor win?

 

He bashed Coleman's face BAD and then broke his arm off in round 2.

Big suprise.

 

After the fight, a bloody and battered Coleman picked up his 2 crying daughters and walked towards Fedor, telling his girls "Say Hi to Fedor, he's a nice guy!"
I thought the girls were gonna yell at Fedor for hurting their daddy.:jester:

 

DETAILED FULL RESULTS:

Fight #1:
-Robbie Lawler vs. Joey Villasenor

Round 1: Round opens with Lawler throwing a big high kick, that was only partially blocked so it had some effect. He quickly threw a big knee that dropped Villasenor and hurt him, and Lawler smelling blood went in for the finish and after two or three punches on the ground, the referee had no choice but to stop the fight.

Fight #2:
-Kazuhiro Nakamura vs. Travis Galbraith

Round 1: Very good first round, Galbraith is the real deal. Both fighters got hit good on the feet with punches, early on Nakamura dropped Galbraith and looked to finish him with strikes on the ground once he dropped. I was actually running into this room to type up the results when they told me it was Herb Dean as ref, and they didn't stop it. Rest of the round was back and forth both on the feet, with takedowns and reversals. Round ends with Nakamura doing a beautiful judo throw and gaining mount as the bell rounded.

Round 2: Round opened with a solid Nakamura takedown. The two get back to their feet and exchange, both getting slightly rocked in the process. A few moments later, Nakamura lands both a good right and then a left, neither really knockout punches but punches that stunned him, Galbraith rushed Nakamura into the corner and Nakamura landed a great knee to the face that dropped Galbraith to his hands and knees. Nakamura huddled over him throwing down punches, and Herb Dean had no choice but to stop the fight mid-way through the second round.

Fight #3:
-Phil Baroni vs. Yosuke Nishijima

Round 1: Round opened with Baroni quickly taking Nishijima down. He worked ground and pound and switched from guard to half guard to side mount and back and forth. He had Nishijima's arm trapped at one point in side control, ala Hughes-Penn II, but didn't finish him. He tried a kimura, almost had it - Nishijima didn't escape but moved around enough to take the pressure off. Baroni went for it again and this time got it.

Fight #4:
-Dan Henderson vs. Vitor Belfort

Round 1: Good first round, to those who are anti-Henderson it could be called a "typical Henderson round" although the round was entertaining. Early Hendo got the better on the feet and took Belfort down. He controlled position everytime on the ground, despite a few reverals which Hendo got out of soon thereafter he was in control of the round and more effective.

Round 2: Not an exciting round, mostly Henderson taking Belfort down and controlling him on the ground. On the feet later in the round Belfort landed a decent body kick, that was pretty much all his offense for the round. I've got it 2-0 Henderson, although a couple people watching here with me gave Belfort the first round (and no, they don't know fighting well enough for their opinion to matter).

Round 3: Another semi-uneventful round. Mostly spent with Henderson out-wrestling Belfort and controlling position on the ground, where the entire round was spent. Belfort had a reversal early on and controlled top for a little bit, but was reversed. Belfort had a reversal right at the closing seconds, but didn't do anything with it. I've got 3-0 Henderson.

Fight #5:
-Butterbean vs. Sean O'Haire

Round 1: Quick fight with O'Haire using the complete wrong game plan, trying only for his puncher's chance. Against Butterbean, if you're not a kickboxer like Mirko CroCop or a boxer like Floyd Mayweather - with no other experienced MMA skills other than some kickboxing training, don't just exchange with Butterbean and hope for the best. That's legitimately all O'Haire seemed to be doing, before an exchange in the clinch where a big inside punch from Butterbean landed, almost crippling O'Haire. Referee quickly stopped it.

Fight #6:
-Josh Barnett vs. Pawel Nastula

Round 1: After a long intermission, we're back. Round one here was a Nastula round, with him getting a couple takedowns and controlling the action throughout the round. As the round ended, Nastula - who was on top, remained on the ground holding his leg/knee. Didn't see why his knee would be hurting.

Round 2: Round opens with Nastula getting a takedown again. Round was going the same way for most part of the round, until the referee stood the fight up for a lull in the action. On the feet, Nastula came incredibly close to knocking Barnett out with his hands. He got him down again, but after Barnett recovered he reversed Nastula with relative ease and dove for his feet, grabbed onto an ankle and Nastula was tapping before I honestly even realized Barnett had fully sunk in the submission.

Fight #7:
-Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Kevin Randleman

Round 1: Round begins with Randleman practically in the middle of the ring as the ref started the fight, he immediately took Shogun down. He controlled him for a while, but Shogun was very busy underneath going for submission attempts. Eventually, Shogun gets an ankle/foot of Randleman's and attempts multiple submissions on it. Randleman didn't really defend the entire time, but was in my opinion just refusing to give up and trying just to survive the pain, maybe hoping Shogun would gas his arms out in the process. Shogun would give up on his submission a few times, seemingly each time Randleman looked like he was finally about to tap as Shogun would let go, but Shogun eventually switched to a kneebar and Randleman tapped.

Fight #8:
-Fedor Emelianenko vs. Mark Coleman

Round 1: All Fedor, I'm behind so I'll keep it short. Coleman only tried takedowns, never got it, and Fedor was pummeling him in the process. Coleman's left eye is swollen and bleeding and Coleman looks to have given up already.

Round 2: Round two opened with a slight feel out process, Coleman stunned our room by landing a big shot standing that woke up Fedor. Coleman eventually got a takedown - first of the fight, and not much after that Fedor from the bottom got an armbar, finishing the fight the same way as the first one.

Overall it was an OK ppv... nothing too special.. not a great opening US event for Pride.

 

Nishijima never actually submitted, the ref just stopped the fight because the kimura looked really bad, but I think Nishijima is just really flexible. Either way though he would have lost.. pure boxers simply can't switch to MMA that easily.

The reason that Nastula's knee was hurting at the end of the 1st round is because just as the round ended Barnett sunk in a sneaky leg lock very similar to the one he put on Nogueira right at the end of their fight in Final Conflict Absolute. It was only in for about 1 second before the round ended, but damaged the knee.

The post fight antics from Coleman were ridiculous... bringing his daughters into the ring.. and punching Fedor in the face jokingly (as if to say now I finally get to land a shot)... TWICE...

 

I thought it was a great opening event for Pride in the U.S. The event was solely to make the U.S realize that Pride has arrived! Later, we're going to get much better matches. They particularly marketed their american athletes for this show. Now that americans are aware of Pride, you can expect alot better fights, at least on paper.

the fights

 

the baroni stoppage was bullshit, Nisghijimma didn't seem in any pains, and he was angry it was stopped

 

Thanks Hanz.

 

Are there any videos of the Fedor fight online? I checked youtube but haven't seen anything yet.

 

Plenty.

 

I felt kinda bad for Coleman. It seemed like he didn't belong in the same ring as Fedor. He spent the whole first round grabbing Fedor's leg, it almost looked like he was begging for mercy.

How about some links to it then Dundee.

Thats Fedor v Coleman

Thats the entire event.

 

Fedor is a badass, I can't believe he survived that supplex.

 

It kind of helped that he's not human, cos the undead can't die twice.

 

The main event was UFC like. Disapointing for the US premiere.

 

I still can't believe that he submitted Randlemen 1 minute later that is sick.

 

I've always liked Belfort but the way he faught at 'the real deal' was kinda sad. I think he's truly lost what he had. He pretty much just let himself be controled and never let his hands fly. Not taking anything away from Hendo. Do you guys think he will bounce back from this or just continue on as the lackluster Belfort we've come to know?

 

Belfort is shot and hasn't won an even semi-important fight in years. Get over him. He was a myth, a front runner...a Tyson.

When he got hit, he became the fag we all know.

 

You can't deny he was very impressive when he started though. I remember his annihilation of Wanderlei Silva. That was brutal. I don't follow mma much, but I follow it enough to know that Belfort is probably the biggest disapointment in this sport.

 

that was 5 or 6 years ago, but yeah, he is a huge waste of talent

 

Yeah and Ken Shamrock was impressive too. He was fighting cans mostly. His only impressive win is Silva and it was a 20 second deal. Shit happens. If Silva had survived and breathed on Vitor "I was doing roids bigtime back then" Belfort, he'd have gassed and died.

Belfort was a myth.

 

Vitors BJJ was a myth for sure.....he's got no ground game

 

Belfort is incredible on the ground. Just needs a Gi. He's never been able to take it into the ring for some reason.

 

Belfort is alright on the ground. He has a good guard but he dosn't seem to work from it to much.

 

then whats the fucking point of it???? How can someones guard be good if they cant finish someone from it.....It that case, Mirko Cro Cop has a good guard
