UFC FIGHT NIGHT 12 BLOW-BY-BLOW LIVE MAIN CARD COMMENTARY:
DrubySunshine here. Tonight should be a good fight card with some solid action. Mike Swick will have his first fight at 170 against the solid Josh Burkman in what should be a good matchup.

This should be a good solid event. I have to admit that I am not really a fan of any of the fighters involved, but that doesn’t mean that these wont be good fights.
Cote vs. McFedries is gonna b a slugfest (curious to see how McFedries performes with the recent death of his mother in the back of his head)
Swick vs. Burkman will be a close fight that will go the distance
I am curious to see How Diaz performs…I am sure he is constantly getting better and i cant wait to see him face Alvin.
Taveres is usually exciting
I wanted to see batman vs. Crane…but I doubt that will happen.
This card is a good card for the mma fan who just wants to see some free action i think.. swick and burkman (to me) are pretty evenly matched for eachother and if burkman can survive the quick side of swick then i give it to burkman. alvin beasted gurgel on the ground and if diaz thinks he can just take it down there then good luck to him.. hopefull cote will play it smart and finish drew on the ground but we’ll see
swick is on his way to the ww championship! it starts tonite!

Where’d you hear that? Rumors is Clay Guida vs. Sammy Schiavo.
just on ufn 12. they were going through the fights lined up and goldy said something along the lines of, “Frank Edgar and Clay Guida lined up for UFC Fight Night 13. It sure is a stacked card.” unless they just said that they are both fighting on the card and not fighting each other, but im pretty sure goldy said they are
THIS SUCKS!!!

This is a little off subject. If you have comcast digital cable check out pros vs joe. On the info screen for it, it say the UFC CHAMPION KURT ANGLE will be on it.
Awesome the Batman fight is starting. So glad they aired it
Pellegrino looked good on the feet. Man thats a nasty hole in his lower lip.
i like pelligrino. he could be really good if he works on his conditioning. thats what killed him in his fight with daddy
Fight update: Mike Swick defeats Josh Burkman via majority decision
Bullshit, JB had that fight, easily!!!!!, bullshit call, mike had great takedown defence, that’s it, JB landed shots, mike was kneeing in the ball, grabbing the fence, what gives!!!!! Wack call
Swick and Burkman was NOT main event worthy, VERY BORING FIGHT!! on another note.. COOOTEEE COTE COTE COOOTEEE!!!!
Maaaaaaan, the live fights tonight were pretty lackluster. I was disappointed with Tavares’ showing, and the main event was a snoozefest. I’m not sure what was going on with Swick tonight, but he didn’t look the same fighter. Also, he looked way too thin. To the point where he sort of reminded me of a younger version of Mr. Mackey from Southpark.
Good wins for Cote and McFedries, but other than that, I wasn’t very entertained tonight.
I guess all of the names they listed for UFN 13 should make up for it.. Florian/Lauzon, Bonnar/Hammill, Karo/Alves.. as well as Guida and Edgar on the card. I think they might have even mentioned another fighter that will be appearing. That’s pretty damn stacked for an Ultimate Fight Night card.
[quote comment=”278577″]frankie edgar vs clay guida at ufn 13!!!!![/quote]
Oh damn, did they say they’re fighting? That should be a sick fight. Guida is fighting contender after contender.. he’s an animal.

I AGREE TOTALLY !!!!!!!!!!!
I didn`t get to c that that last round between Swick vs Burkman..it was like ufc4, at the end when Gracie was still pinned under Severn and the ppv time expired.
Did this happen to anyone else??
Drew asked for it when he tapped his chin before getting tkod…Cote speaking about Drew`s mom`s was a total class act.. Cote should fight soon Jas Mcd..Rich F..or Yushi..he for sure moved up a bit more before knockin g on Silva`s door.
Nate Diaz should fight a. Huerta. b.Edgar c.Clay d.Tyson next.
or. Kurt..speaking on the batman what a Kick he ate by Alberto Crane i thought Crane was going to finish him..Kurt slept on the striking and almost paid for it. Good fight.
Other than the main event..Great night of fights.
I love Mike Swick, but I think Burkman got robbed. Swick was running the whole fight only throwing counters. If I was Burkman, I’d be pissed at the outcome. He didnt really land much but that was because Swick avoided him.
On another note Alberto Crane sucked exactly like I said he would besides the lucky head kick at the start.
On a last note, Patrick Cote is the BOMB.
Does anyone know how Gray Maynard looked in his fight?
Diaz was bad ass as expected! Wow To Cote nobody take MCfredies on the Chin like that and still counters for a win. Tavares looked like crap as bad as Omigawa’s offense was-Good chin and defense but that’s it(I think he is still getting to much hype for beating Black). Crane is good off of his back, shots for subs constantly but has the standup of my 10 year old son. I like Pellegrino he is one of those guys that needs a step up on the ladder-he went 3 full rounds with Joe Stevenson 2 and a half of those rounds with a broken hand. With Swicks training camp being the who’s who in wrestling in that division you would think he would have a much better answer. I don’t think either one of them deseved that fight. Josh Burkman had the first, the second was pretty even as even can get, and the third Swick put together a few combos and a head kick. Swick gave him to much respect and JB could have gone to a different ofense considering Swick would not go down at all. Easier said then done from my couch I guess.
Did anyone else hear Mike Goldberg say something about Ultimate Fight Night 13? I believe he said some fighers names and i thought he said Clay Guida and a few others that haven’t been announced for UFN 13. I think he said this during the 2nd round of the Tavares fight. If anyone heard it too could you tell me?
thanks

This is probably going to be a better card that UFC 81. I really like how Patrick Cote came in at 184, I think Cote has found his niche, and I think Patrick is taking the fighting game a lot more serious now. But I still think he gets crushed by McFedries. McFedries has the heaviest hands in that division. Period.
Swick vs. Burkman is going to be good. Burkman gassed terribly his last fight against Forrest Petz, and lets hope he does not do that in this fight or Swick will finish him. My pick is on Burkman.
I want to see Corey Hill and Matt Wiman terribly.
Does anybody want to bet me money that Cole Miller and Jeremy Stephens will be the fight of the night?
Alvin Robinson will defeat Nate Diaz and show that the TUF fighters after season 2 really are not that good.
Does this outcome finally change your mind about Nate Diaz and the the winners of TUF? I hope you didn’t bet any money on it because I think I hear Guido at your door looking to collect!
Kurt Pellegrino looked great
Nate Diaz looked good
Thiago Tavares looked like crap
Patrick Cote looked great
Mike Swick looked like crap
Josh Burkman looked like crap
Overall a crappy night
Nice to see Nate show some sportsmanship and help the other fighter up. I like both the Diaz boys style but I’m sick of hearing about what dicks they are. Maybe it’s all Nick.
I’m pissed about not seeing Cory and Gray’s fights.
Swick was not as gassed as Burkman. He could have ended that fight. I would have given it to Burkman just for that. At least he got to impress Stallone with those goofy Cobra Kai kicks.
duuuuude, nice synopsis for myself not having watched it…
Whatever, can’t wait for the next Leben fight, oh yeah and Brock
friggin’ Lesnar! He’s gonna hurt some fools!
Swick lost too much weight, needs to go back to 185.

He said Frankie Edgar, Spencer Fisher and Clay Guida. Wouldn’t it be awesome to se Frankie Edgar and Clay Guida go at it? or maby Fisher vs. Guida. Either sounds like an awesome fight.
Overall this was a pretty bad night. All the exciting fights except Cote vs McFederies and Diaz vs Robinson were in the Prelims. The Tavarez fight sucked and so did the Main Event. At least we didn’t pay anything for it.
That fight night was just as good as the last few PPV’s. TUF 13 has quite a lineup too unless guys end up backing out. I’m puzzled that the PPV lineup’s are getting thin while the free show gets better.

There are a number of very interesting fights in 13!
thats bullshit corey was not on the TV
Mike Swick looked 1/2 Decent but will turn out to be “JUST ANOTHER FIGHTER” in the Division. NEVER appologize for winning, people may have been boing but that doesnt mean he did anything wrong. There were 2 fighters and both did a good job. There is nothing wrong with respecting the other guys stuff.
Josh Burkman I actually thought he won the fight, He kinda died during the end of round 3 but he did push the fight. He was 3/4 the time the aggressor and had a solid game plan try and take him down by pushing to the fence. Yes he couldnt take him down but always got in position. Wouldnt you give the fight to a guy who was doing stuff instead of someone stopping a guy from doing stuff… I was pretty surprised by the spining round house… I wish that would have connected. Everyone would have said what a great match…
Patrick Cote TOUGH and at the same time lucky… Lucky it wasnt anderson silva he was trading with.
Drew McFedries I was feeling the tone of the fight and I got the vibe he was gonna win but was nonchalant about the whole thing.
Thiago Tavares, Everyone says he looked bad or didnt put out. I did think he won the first and second round… I dont think it was a boring fight, I was on the edge of my seat thinking when is someone gonna get a submission.
Michihiro Omigawa Almost had him twice with the straight armbar, but just didnt have the umph to snap it. I was actually thinking this was gonna be an easy fight for Thiago and thats what kept me wondering who is gonna end the fight.
Nate Diaz, God I hate this guy. Why do people he fights play his game. Never get on the ground with this guy…
Alvin Robinson, If he cant beat Diaz he mays well hang up the shorts. Diaz is not gonna beat sherk or BJ or even Manny again.
Kurt Pellegrino, Solid fighter with lots of spunk. Toughed out the boot to the head.
Alberto Crane, What the hell he had KPs head on a silver plater and couldnt put out… Kinda disappointed, The fight should have been over under a minute.
Corey Hill, I wanna see this fight somehow. I would say give him 2 yrs and the -155 division will see him somewhere near the top… Wont be the big name in the division but will always be on the fringe.
Over all I would say I got my moneys worth… HA HA HA
I purposed not to read any of the other comments before leaving mine so as not to be influenced. I’ll go back and read them afterward. I just wanted to see if what I thought of last night would be similar to everyone else. I can sum it up pretty easily…YAWN!!!!
What a boring main event. Patrick Cote is a very exciting fighter that an awesome hook followed with the upper cut.
I slept off during the main event from mid round 2 to mid round 3. I kept wondering when the shitty fight would end. I expected more from Swick, he didn’t engage he didn’t even look like he wanted to be there..glad it was free.
Cote has looked impressive lately having won his last three fights. The fact that he’s knocking people out bodes well for his eventual title shot against silva. Please god someone beat that guy!
My thoughts on the Main Card:
Nate Diaz vs Alvin Robinson: Since I have always been a huge fan of the Diaz brother’s, I was a little nervous about this fight because Alvin BEAT DOWN Jorge Gurgel who has great BJJ and decent standup which are similar qualities to Nate, but Nate is a MUCH better fighter than Gurgel. The 22 year old Diaz proved that he is indeed ready to step up in competition. Can anyone say Thiago Taverez??? SideNote: I was very happy to see Nick finally in Nate’s corner. I don’t think Nick has any fights coming up, but he did look much larger than usual. Yes he usually fights one weight class above Nate, but I thought he looked rather larger than usual - even considering he doesn’t have a fight coming up.
Thiago Tavarez vs Micci Omigawa: Tavarez should have finished him in the first round. Very dissapointing showing for Tavarez. If he wants to prove to be a Top 5 contender in the stacked LW divsion, then he has to finish fighers that have a losing record MMA (Omigawa was 4-5 coming into the fight).
Kurt Pellegrino vs Alberto Crane: WOW was I impressed with Batman. He was an animal in this fight. That kick to the jaw was wicked, to put it lightly. I thought the fight would be over within 10 seconds for sure. But Kurt was able to hang in there. Like I say, Crane is a BJJ guy fighting in MMA. I was impressed with that opening kick, but other than that, he did not look good on his feet. Other After that kick, Kurt simply dominated the fight. I loved when Kurt was slapping his most likely broken jaw and yelling and Alberto to bring it. I was a fan of Kurt before this fight, but now I am a big fan of Kurt. That hole in Kurts lower lip was SICK - his teeth went right through!
Patrick Cote vs Drew McFedries: A quick and explosive fight ending in KO as expected. Man oh man, does Cote have a jaw or what? The hardest punch thrown in the fight was the punch the Cote took before he put the beat down on McFedries. Working with Mark DellaGrotte is working wonders on Patrick Cote’s already impressive stand up game. Everyone but Hendo and Anderson Silva should be very weary to take a fight with Patrick Cote right now.
Mike Swick vs Josh Burkman: Zzzzzzzzzzz. What a sleeper. Burkman won round one. Round 2 was very close because not much happened, but I gave it to Swick because of the head kick. So it all came down to the 3rd and final round. Neither fighter did anything worthy of winning the round. I scored it 10-10, resulting in a 29-29 draw. One judge saw it my way. Gut I don’t know how 2 judges saw Swick clearly winning 2 rounds. I didn’t see Swick clearly win any rounds. The only round that was decisively won was round 1 by Burkman. As much as I don’t like Burkman, I think that the fight should have been a draw or Burkman should have gotten the split decision. Sidenote: The only thing that impressed me by Mike Swick was his take down defense.
“Ah, they’re speaking Purtugese”
“Ummm, that’s Japanese dude”
“Oh…”
“You are married to a Japanese woman, and you thought that was Purtugese?”
Immediately before Goldy had a Goldy moment, I asked my wife if she thought that guy was speaking Japanese or Portugese. She paused. I said I definitely think Japanese. No more than 1 second later is when Goldy said it was Portugese and Rogan corrected him. We paused it and looked at each other laughing at how bizzar that was. Then we rewound to hear it again, and then we hear that Goldy is married to a Japanese woman. I almost fell out of my recliner laughing…
cote is seem growing up as a fighter.

The Pellegrino/Crane fight was fantastic. It looked like the fight was over in the first 10 seconds. And then he turns it around 180 degrees and comes back to dominate and finish the fight. Nevermind the gaping hole in his lip from his teeth going straight through, and the intensity that Pellegrino brought from the opening bell.
with the time of the stallone interview, the fluff and all the other b.s. why not show the undercards that finished?
take out the tavares fight and give me the corey hill fight, miller fight, and wiman.
i mean whats the point of MANUFACTURING reality tv fighters if they’re not televised.
i want my money back…..

Took the words right out of my mouth, I had it 29/29 too, either guy could have got the decision, one of the closest fights I’ve seen. I was very disappointed with swick, I thought he would ko burkman in the first round. Swick looked horrible last night, skinny and weak looking, his stand up looked off, his only redeeming quality last night was his take down defense. The only person who really impressed me was patrick cote he looked great, and the kurt/alberto fight was a good one, back and forth, how I like them. Over all kind of a lame card with swick surprising me with his crappy performance.
There is no way in the world Swick won that fight…boo judges…boooooo!
