WEC 48 Live Play-by-play
WEC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo vs. Urijah Faber
Round one: In the opening minute both fighters are just feeling each other out. Not much is happening apart from some range finding strikes. 3:00 left and the Faber chants start by the crowd at the ARCO Arena. 2:40 and Faber goes after Aldo but comes away with nothing. Faber keeps switching stances and throwing wild strikes in these opening minutes in order to catch Aldo off guard with something. 1:30 left and Aldo connects with a nice knee. Under a minute left and Urijah really begins to open up. :30 left and Aldo lands a big knee to the body knocking Faber back and onto the canvas. He quickly stands back up though and gets back to the striking. A very close round which I would give to Aldo 10-9 because he had some of the cleaner more effective shots.
Round two: Faber starts off rushing at Aldo but doesn’t land any strikes. Aldo got a body kick in and then followed up with a series of punches. 3:30 and Aldo almost connects with a big uppercut, if it had connected properly it could have been the end of the bout. Aldo looked like he was going to go in for the flying knee but never managed it. Aldo is really working the leg kicks now and they are looking as though they are giving Urijah a hard time. :30 and Urijah is now limping with the left leg. It has took such a beating in this second round. Easily 10-9 to Aldo.
Round three: A minute in and Aldo gets another few leg kicks and it is looking as though Urijah can take no more punishment. These leg kicks are taking their toll on Faber now and he is limping while Aldo takes no risks in breaking him down further. Urijah went for the takedown with 2:15 left but Aldo escaped. The kicks are continuing and with :10 left Aldo knocks Faber down with one. 10-9 Aldo.
Round four: 3:40 and Aldo gets mount on Faber and then back mount looking for the rear naked choke. Faber gets out though and gets the fight back to standing. Another leg kick puts Faber down and Aldo goes in for the kill but Faber survives. The crowd begins to chant fo Faber with1:45 remaining. Aldo gets a mounted crucifix and begins unloading some left elbows and punches. The punches were not effective though and Urijah managed to hang in until the end of the round. 10 -8 Aldo
Round five: Faber goes in for a takedown but does not manage to get it. Faber is stood back up. The round plays out like all of those previous. 10-9 to Aldo
Final result: Jose Aldo defeats Urijah Faber via unanimous decision (49-45, 49-45, 50-45)
WEC Lightweight Champion Benson Henderson vs. Donald Cerrone
Round one: Henderson got off to the better start in this fight getting control of Cerrone’s back while standing and then eventually getting the takedown. Out of nowhere came a guillotine choke and it was over, Ben Henderson got the victory by submission.
Final result: Benson Henderson defeats Donald Cerrone via guillotine choke at 1:57 of round 1
Mike Brown vs. Manny Gamburyan (145-pound limit)
Round one: Opening minute and neither fighter has come out on top. Both have landed a few strikes so far. Manny lands an overhand right with two minutes remaining. and then a few seconds later Gamburyan caught Brown with a right hook that knocked him clean out. After seeing the replay you can see that Brown leant into the punch.
Final result: Manny Gamburyan defeats Mike Brown via KO at 2:22 of round 1
Final result: Shane Roller defeats Anthony Njokuani via submission (rear naked choke) at 3:07 of round 1
Antonio Banuelos vs. Scott Jorgensen
Round one: The opening two minutes of the round were relatively even on the feet. Jorgensen was controlling the center of the cage while Banuelos pases around the outside looking for an opening. That opening came at about 2:30 when a left connected sending Joegensen to the mat. Jorgenson was able to recover and the fight was back to standing with 1:40 remaining. 30 seconds remaining and Banuelos landed a nice spinning back kick to the mid-section. Banuelos tried some more kicks towards the very end which were blocked by Jorgensen. I score the round 10-9 to Banuelos based upon the knockdown.
Round two: Jorgensen came out looking for the win much more in this second round landing some good shots. Banuelos continues to look for the left while Jorgensen keeps working the jab. Jorgensen begins to land some more nice shots on Banuelos. Banuelos’ nose is really busted up and begins to bleed pretty bad towards the later portion of the second. Second round 10-9 to Jorgensen.
Round three: Jorgensen lands some big shots in the opening minutes of the round but Banuelos manages to recover. The blood continues to come out of Banuelos’ nose which is clearly broken. Jorgensen continues to pressure Banuelos and lands a solid right with three minutes remaining in the round. The crowd starts to boo with half of the round gone and shortly after Jorgensen drops Banuelos with a right gaining rear mount. 1:45 remaining and Jorgensen gets the RNC locked in but Banuelos finds a way out. Jorgensen gets back to rear mount and works on opening up Banuelos for another choke which he locks on with 15 seconds remaining but was never able to finish. 10-9 Jorgensen in my book.
Final result: Scott Jorgensen defeats Antonio Banuelos via unanimous decision (29-28 all three judges)

Strikeforce Miami Live Recap
Nick Diaz vs. Marius Zaromskis (170-pound)
Round one: Here we go with the main event! Zaromskis comes out quick and tries to take DIaz out but Diaz returns some good shots of his own. Diaz looks for the single leg takedown but Zaromskis catches him and both fighters end up clinching against the cage. Diaz spends around a minute kneeing Zaromskis in the leg which against the cage. Zaromskis gets taken down by Diaz but gets back up quick and Diaz connects with a good left. Zaromskis tags Diaz though and Diaz falls and shells up. Diaz is bleeding and Zaromskis goes after him, it is not over for Diaz though who continues to throw some big shots. The crowd begins to chant “Diaz”. There is absolutely no defense from either fighter at this point and Zaromskis gets tagged with a massive uppercut, it looked as though he would go out but he continued standing and staggering around until Diaz connected with one more good shot and Zaromskis went down. Diaz takes the fight and the Strikeforce welterweight championship.
Result: Nick Diaz defeats Marius Zaromskis via TKO at 4:38 , Round 1*
Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos vs. Marloes Coenen (145-pound)
Round one: Fight gets underway fast with both fighters throwing big shots and then ending up in the clinch against the fence. Coenen tries to get the armbar from guard but Cyborg gets out and drops a huge right hand on the face of Coenen. Cyborg picks up Coenen from guard and slams her down then drops two big shots once again. Coenen gets a couple of upkciks and the referee stands the women back up and both fighters begin exchanging blows. Coenen drops levels and looks for the takedown but Cyborg stands her back up and both fighters end up against the cage in the clinch. After separation both fighters begin throwing massive shots once again. A very hard round to call but I would go with Cyborg 10-9.
Round two: Cyborg unloads on Coenen and knocks her down but Coenen is still in it. Cyborg gets into guard and picks Coenen up to slam her but Coenen manages a safe landing right back on the ground. With a minute left Cyborg unleashes a great amount of shots on the grounded Coenen but none do any real damage. That second round clearly belongs to Cyborg so I have it at 20-18 right now for the champion.
Round three: Cyborg quickly goes for the takedown but cant and the fighters end up against the cage. The fighters separate and Cyborg begins to unleash. Coenen goes for the takedown and it is reversed by Cyborg who takes Coenen down and into half-guard. While in half-guard Cyborg keeps trying to keep Coenen down while throwing some blows. Coenen got Cyborg into her guard and Cyborg stood up and began to unleash. Coenen got out and both fighters got back to standing. Coenen through a big right hand and Cyborg returned a few before taking Coenen down and unleashing once again. Coenen shelled up and Cyborg continued the onslaught until the referee stopped the fight to give Cyborg the victory.
Result: Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos defeats Marloes Coenen via TKO (Strikes) at 3:40, Round 3
Greg Nagy vs. Herschel Walker (215-pound limit)
Round one: Walker tags Nagy with a straight jab early on which makes Nagy stagger back but then the fight gets back to normal. Walker is looking extremely tight in his stance and even throws a bit of a dance in there. Nagy goes for the takedown but Walker sprawls and attempts to take the back of Nagy. Walker then takes mount and begins to unleash the GnP. Nagy defends the initial onslaught of GnP. Nagy gets Walker in a heel hook but Walker gets out almost immediately and goes back to sprawl position. Walker then got north-south of Nagy and then into side control. First round went to Herschel Walker easily 10-9
Round two: Walker gets a good takedown in the opening minute of the first round and ends up in side control. Walker then transitions onto the back of Nagy who rolls over to give Walker high mount. Nagy escapes the mount and tries to get back to his feet but Walker keeps forcing him back down to the ground. Walker takes the back of Nagy again and flattens him out but can’t get the hooks in or the choke. Nagy tries to roll over again and Walker once again gets mount on Nagy. That round once again was all Herschel Walker 20-18 so far on my scorecard.
Round three: Nagy comes out quick in this round but Walker takes him down against the cage and lands in Nagy’s guard. Nagy goes for the armbar on Walker but Walker pulls his arm out quite easily. Walker gets back to where he left off in round number two, high mount. Walker begins with the punches from high mount and Nagy just struggles to get out of it any way he can. Walker gets to back mount and Nagy just covers up, the referee stops the fight because Nagy is not trying to improve his position.
Result: Herschel Walker defeats Greg Nagy via TKO (Strikes) at 2:17, Round 3
Robbie Lawler vs. Melvin Manhoef (185-pound limit)
Round one: The first thirty seconds pass with no contact and then Manhoef connected with a kick to the midsection of Lawler. After a minute the crowd begins to boo a little bit due to the lack of contact. Manhoef gets Lawler to shell up against the fence but Lawler gets away. Manhoef begins unleashing with 2:15 left in the round, there are some powerful leg kicks and huge uppercuts going in. Lawlers leg is clearly hurting but out of nowhere Lawler connects and KO’s Manhoef. I am left thinking WTF?
Result: Robbie Lawler defeats Melvin Manhoef via KO at 3:33, Round 1
Bobby Lashley vs. Wes Sims (265-pound limit)
Round one: Wes Sims acts like his normal self at the start of the fight by trying to play games with Lashley but he quickly gets taken down and Lashley begins with the GnP. Sims later regained control of Lashley but could not get back to standing. Lashley postures up and starts throwing down punches until Sims rolled over and the fight was stopped due to strikes. Sims thought the stoppage was pre-mature.
Result: Bobby Lashley defeats Wes Sims via TKO (Strikes) at 2:06, Round 1
