UFC 106: Great Fights, Little Nog has Arrived, and Twitter

79 Reach (79) inches of Kendall Grove.

3 Jake Rosholt is a (3) time national wrestling champ from Oklahoma State.

2 It took Grove about (2) seconds to slap on a beautiful triangle choke to end the fight at 3:59 of round one.

17 Minutes (17) into the Spike broadcast when we got to see extra action in the form of George Sotiropoulos and Jason Dent. Sotiropoulos scored a second round armbar.

7.5 Ben Saunders has a (7.5) inch reach advantage on Marcus Davis.

1 Saunders used his knees, not his reach, to batter Davis to become the (1st) man to stop the former boxer and he did it in round one.

45 Minutes (45) into the Spike broadcast when we got to see another under card fight. Brian Foster beat up Brock Larson for much of two rounds.

2 Larson actually lost (2) points in round one for striking Foster while he was down. It ended up not mattering and Foster got his first win in the UFC.

42 The pay-per-view is being brought to us by Left 4 Dead 2.

11 Minutes (11) into the PPV when Phil Baroni stepped through the Octagon gate with Bad to the Bone filling the arena.

10 First (10) seconds of round two were real good for Amir Sadollah, much like the end of round one.

108 With (1:08) left in the bout Mike Goldberg said, “Now Baroni’s just proving how tough he is.” About five seconds before that I was thinking man Baroni is freaking tough.

40 Minutes (40) into the first hour when people at Buffalo Wild Wings and Hooters everywhere were scratching their heads and saying, “So there’s two Nogueira’s?”

130 At (1:30) into his UFC career Little Nog had Luis Cane rocked and it wasn’t long before he finished the fight. The Little Nog train has arrived.

3 After the Little Nog thrashing there were three pretty tough guys in the Octagon: Little Nog, Big Nog, and Anderson Silva.

2 Tough night for Marcus Davis. We saw him get KO’d (2) times on the night. Back to live action with Jacob Volkmann and Paulo Thiago.

459 At (4:59) of round one Thiago jacked Volkmann with a right hand. It marked the end of a tough round for Volkmann.

3 Thiago and Volkmann put on (3) entertaining rounds in my favorite fight of the night so far.

724 Time (7.24) seconds it took Bruce Buffer to say, “Anthony Rumble Johnson!”

525 Time (5.25) seconds it took Bruce Buffer to say, “Josh Koscheck!” Koscheck needs a nickname.

120 At (1:20) of round one Koscheck looked away from Johnson for a split second.

76 According to Goldberg Koscheck has a (76%) average on clinch takedowns.

1 Illegal knee (1) delivered by Anthony Johnson to Koscheck’s left eye? And it took a while for the doctor to check Koscheck out.

46 Seconds into round two (46) when Koscheck returned the favor with a finger in the eye of Johnson. Then all the sudden there was another one.

21 Koscheck leads in the eye damage department (2 to 1).

13 With just (13) seconds left in round two Koscheck finished Johnson with a rear naked choke. He then called out Dan Hardy and said he was “going to go talk more shit on his twitter @Josh Koscheck.”

20 Minutes (20) into the third hour when Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin stared at each other for their second go around.

119 At (1:19) of round one, on his first try Tito took Forrest down with ease.

353 At (3:53) of round one Forrest avoided Tito’s takedown attempt.

288 After a spirited second round Forrest landed about (288) strikes on Tito in round three (we’ll have to wait for Compustrike to give us the official number), but it was a lot more strikes than Tito landed and it earned Griffin the split decision.

1 The (1) fight we didn’t get to see was between Caol Uno and Fabricio Camoes and it ended in a draw. Is this the first draw since Tito and Rashad a couple years ago?
