Josh Neer chokes out Duane Ludwig at UFC on FX 1
After the two clinched for the beginning of the first round, Duane Ludwig came in with several strikes that wobbled Neer, but then Neer answered back with jabs of his own. This patter continued to repeat until Ludwig tried for a takedown. Neer put in a deep guillotine. Ludwig raised his hand to tap, but was out before he even had the chance to tap. The bout was stopped at 3:04 of the first round.
Neer is 33-10 after this win. He has been in and out of the UFC, but has two straight stoppage wins since rejoining the promotion in October. Ludwig has been on a two-fight win streak, and now is 21-12.

Officer Mike Russow takes UFC on Fox 2 decision
Russow started with a quick takedown. When they returned to their feet, Russow was aggressive, landing a combination before clinching up with Einemo. He moved inside with strikes, and then got another takedown. From there Russow controlled Einemo until the last five seconds, when Einemo briefly reversed position before the round ended.
The second round started much like the first, with Russow getting a quick takedown. Russow briefly stood up and towered over Einemo, but returned to controlling him on the ground. They were stood up with 22 seconds left in the round, but Russow returned to the takedown that served him well for the first two rounds.
Einemo was more aggressive in the third round, and nailed Russow with a knee and a punch. Russow got the takedown again, but had more trouble with it. When on the ground, Einemo came close to take Russow's back, but Russow slipped out of it. Russow controlled Einemo for most of the round, but the two were stood up with just over a minute left. Einemo hit Russow with a knee, then Russow used the next knee for another takedown.
Russow is a full-time member of the Chicago Police Department and took a month off from the department to prepare for this bout. He's now 4-0 in the UFC and 15-1 overall. Einemo, a member of the famed Golden Glory camp, has lost both of his UFC bouts.

UFC on Fox 2 postfight: Awards and Bisping earns respect from Sonnen, fans and his boss
CHICAGO -- Michael Bisping was the prefight villain of the night at the United Center, but with a hard-fought performance against Chael Sonnen, he converted an awful lot of haters.
Sonnen took a unanimous decision but it was far from easy. Don't believe it? The brash Sonnen had nothing but nice things to say about one of mixed martial arts' No. 1 heels.
"The whole fight I was never in a position tonight where I was comfortable, not one. It was 15 awkward minutes. I don't have a bad thing to say about the guy," said Sonnen,
Both fighters were surprised it was announced that Sonnen swept the scorecards and one judge, Clay Goodman scored it 30-27.
"There's no way on earth that was a 30-27 and that judge needs to have a serious thinking about his career," said a frustrated Bisping.
Bisping's resolve was strengthened by an outpouring of support on Twitter and the Internet. He's never been received very well by fans and MMA media.
"I think I won rounds one and two. In this modern day of social networking, you just gotta look at the internet, and the general consensus is that people think I won the fight," said Bisping.
UFC president Dana White was also a strong backer of Bisping's performance.
Seconds after the final bell, even Sonnen thought Bisping may have pulled the upset.
"I said to him 'what do you think?' He said 'I think I might have gotten the first two.' I said 'yeah I think you might be right,'" Sonnen said.
The winner was quick to point out that a 30-27 score can be deceiving.
"That doesn't mean I disagree with the judges. They were close rounds. You can have a 30-27 that's still a close 30-27. I don't know that that judge was out of his mind. If it had gone the other way I don't know that I would've been complaining."
It might be even more surprising for fans and MMA experts to hear Sonnen say Bisping could've won the fight in the first.
"I was surprised about everything. Michael Bisping hit me so hard in the first round, I didn't even know what day it was," Sonnen said. "I remember when I came to, I looked at him thinking 'oh my god, you have no idea how bad you hurt me or you'd step in and do something about it.'"
- The event at the United Center was a rousing success with a huge crowd of 17,425. Lower ticket prices were great move by the promotion which still hauled in a gate of $1.2 million.
- The UFC handed out postfight awards to Lavar Johnson for Knockout of the Night and Charles Oliveira for Submission of the Night. Nick Lentz and Evan Dunham got Fight of the Night honors. All four got $65,000.

Quinton Jackson reacts to positive steroid test from ?King Mo?
It was just two weeks ago that Muhammed Lawal was calling Quinton Jackson washed up and a B-level actor.
Jackson didn't say too much since, but he did sit down for an interview yesterday which happened to be perfectly timed with the news released by the Nevada State Athletic Commission that "King Mo" tested positive for an anabolic steroid following his Strikeforce fight.
"I feel that any fighter who has to use steroids to go in the cage and fight somebody is not a true fighter somebody just blatantly taking anabolical steroids to get in the cage is a sad case," said Jackson.
Jackson said Lawal's recent woes are to be expected.
"He talk a big game and calling people bums, it's just karma. Look at him. He's a very cocky individual," said Jackson.
Lawal tested positive for Drostanolone, but denied using any illegal substances.
Jackson shows a good sense of humor later in the interview over the fact that King Mo was mocking on his role in the "A-Team."

UFC on FOX 2 Main Event Breakdown: Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis
Filed under: UFC
Rashad Evans has been the light-heavyweight division's No. 1 contender in waiting for 18 months, a lengthy purgatory that will only end if he beats Phil Davis at Saturday night's UFC on FOX 2 show, and emerges uninjured. On paper, it is a fight he should win. He has twice as many fights as Davis, and has competed against higher-caliber opponents over the last few years. The odds reflect that, with Evans a 2-to-1 favorite by the estimates of most.
But there are also factors that suggest the outcome isn't quite that clear cut. For one, Evans (16-1-1) has only fought once in the last 18 months, against the struggling Tito Ortiz. For another, Davis (9-0) has had 10 months in between fights. Because of the fact that Davis is newer to the sport, he has more to learn, and might have benefited more from the time off between fights.
The biggest improvements Davis can hope to show in this matchup are his overall striking game and wrestling transitions. To date, Davis' best standup weapon has been his kicks, something he has proven to be reliant on. Against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, for example, he threw 18 kicks and 18 punches while standing. A true 1:1 kick/punch ratio is very unusual at the highest levels of MMA.
That ratio alone isn't troublesome, but the issue comes in the fact that against Nogueira, he landed only two of his 18 arm strikes, just 11 percent. He will have to do more in the pocket to keep Evans honest, because if Evans can completely discount his punches, the fight becomes easier for him. To that end, Davis has been working with fellow light-heavyweight Alexander Gustafsson as well as bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz. After 10 months, it's hard to imagine we won't see any real improvements.
In recent days, Evans has made headlines for saying that Davis isn't a very good wrestler, a statement that doesn't jibe with Davis' pedigree as a former NCAA national champion.
"Your technique is trash," Evans said during a Thursday press conference. "You won a college championship off junk. You could not win on an international level because you have trash technique."
The statement was no doubt a piece of gamesmanship on Evans' part, but the fact is that given Davis' wrestling history, he has underperformed a bit in the takedown department, successfully landing just 50 percent of his tries according to FightMetric. His problems stem from often shooting from too far away with no setup. To date, Nogueira has been his most decorated opponent. Nogueira has no background in wrestling, but Davis was just four of 11 against him. Again, though, this is the type of area that could benefit from some intensive training, and Davis might look significantly better this time around.
On the other hand, in his limited time fighting, Davis has shown some of the best defensive work in MMA. According to FightMetric, he's only been hit .38 times per minute -- by far the lowest number in UFC history. He's also never been taken down, so has a perfect 100 percent takedown defense record.
Both of those numbers will be tested by Evans, who has the most complete game of any opponent Davis has yet to face. Evans won't be lost if just one thing doesn't work. He has good hands, throws kicks, moves well into takedowns and has effective ground and pound.
Evans has said that he has gone back to his wrestling roots, and that showed against Ortiz as most of the fight was spent on the ground. But given the fact that the area is Davis' strength, it's worth wondering if Evans will truly engage him there or simply wants to plant the seed in Davis' mind so he'll have something else to think about.
Evans is a very good MMA wrestler, but it's unlikely he'll put Davis on his back for any stretch of time. That leaves a fight where Evans is likely going to be on the defensive, hoping to avoid Davis' takedowns throughout. Remember, this is a five-round fight, so it could become a grind. Davis may or may not have success in taking the fight to the ground, but he's also quite likely to work Evans against the fence and hope to wear him down with dirty boxing and sheer physicality.
In some ways, that kind of plan could work to Evans' advantage. He's always fought well as a counter-striker, and he's never had any real issues with stamina. Davis has looked strong in fights that have gone the distance, but he's prepared to go five full rounds for the first time in his career, while Evans has had to do it three times now.
Their wrestling games should largely cancel each other out, so unless Davis has made a big leap forward in his striking, this should still be Evans' fight to lose. Evans is more experienced, has shown more power and has big-fight experience. Davis is still a blue-chip prospect, but there's no way to know whether his time off helped him by allowing him time to refine his skills, or it hurt him by adding ring rust. A Davis upset wouldn't be a huge surprise, as he's capable of grinding out a win with his physicality and will, but most other routes to victory seem to favor Evans, and so his perpetual role as top contender should continue by a close decision.

Jon Jones? future: One writer?s view of top prospects at 205 pounds
Champs age, suffer injuries and the field of developing fighters beneath them eventually catches up.
Jon Jones is already getting that ridiculous treatment at light heavyweight, so Adam Hill from the Las Vegas Review-Journal put together a list over at ESPN.com to shine a light on the guys who may end Jones' dominance at 205 pounds. Phil Davis was tabbed the No. 1 prospect contender.
The parameters he used were active fighters who have not held a UFC belt in the weight class and haven't previously fought for a title in the weight class.
Check out the entire list here (sorry it's Insider access only). The list included fighters like:
8. Ryan Jimmo (16-1), UFC
The Canadian got knocked out in the first round of his MMA debut way back in 2007. Since then, he's lost one fight ....
3. Gegard Mousasi (32-3), Strikeforce
Though just 26 years old, Mousasi has fought 37 pro MMA bouts already and is an undefeated kickboxer. He also is a proficient wrestler and displays above-average grappling skills ...2.Alexander Gustafsson (13-1), UFC
This one is all about potential. The 6-foot-5 Swede is only getting better, and being teammates with Davis at Alliance MMA in San Diego can only help. Gustafsson, whose only loss came at Davis' hands in April 2010, has reeled off four straight stoppage victories, with visible improvement each time ...
He also listed Ryan Bader, Stanislav Nedkov, Thiago Silva and Rafael Cavalcante. Who did Hill miss?

UFC on FX 1 picks, Vegas-style: Could Guillard?s size be the difference?
Explosiveness against technique. It's a solid way to describe the main event tonight at UFC on FX 1.
Melvin Guillard can overwhelm his opponents, while Jim Miller can slowly pick you apart with his overall game. But there may be one other factor that determines the outcomes of this one. Guillard may simply be too big for Miller, one of the smaller fighters in the lightweight division.
Guillard tweeted this morning that he'll actually be over the welterweight limit as he steps into the Octagon tonight (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT) for this 155-pound tilt.
Kevin Iole and Frank Trigg joined myself on ESPN1100/98.9 FM in Las Vegas to make our picks using the Sin City betting odds. Iole likes Guillard and Trigg thinks the size disparity won't make a difference. He's worried about Guillard surviving if he doesn't finish the fight in the first few minutes.
UFC on FX 1 betting odds:
Best bets in bold
Melvin Guillard (+150) vs. Jim Miller (-170)
Duane Ludwig (-105) vs. Josh Neer (-115)
Mike Easton (-345) vs. Jared Papazian (+285)
Pat Barry (-155) vs. Christian Morecraft (+135)
Jorge Rivera (+130) vs. Eric Schafer (-150)
Kamal Shalorus (-140) vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov (+120)
Daniel Roberts (+265) vs. Charlie Brenneman (-325)

Video: Jon Jones using kicks for different purpose in Fox ad
Just after the NFC championship game went to the half Sunday, Fox used�its rather large, NFL playoff platform to get viewers excited for Saturday's "UFC on Fox" fights. Instead of showing another ad with fight highlights with a popular, adrenaline-pumping song playing, it showed UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones using his kicks for a slightly different purpose.
The ad didn't fit what MMA fans are used to, and that's the point. This ad wasn't for people who already had planned to tune into Saturday's bouts. The ad was to show the general public that fighters are men with families and a sense of humor. (Jones later tweeted that the young girl in the ad is not his daughter.)

UFC 142: Mike Pyle is fired up to fight in front of hostile crowd
Mike Pyle has fought all over the world, but even he admits tomorrow night at UFC 142, Rio de Janeiro could be unlike anything he's ever seen.
"We're fighting and we have to fight other countryman on their soil. That makes it fun. Get out there in some hostile territory," Pyle told ESPN1100/98.9 FM. "It's kind of different. You don't get booed and looked at in strange ways at home. It's cool. Makes me feel like a super villain."
Pyle won't be walking through the Rio crowd with complete unfamiliarity. He cornerd Forrest Griffin back at UFC 134 and saw how intense the Brazilians were that night.
"The energy was ... I just got chill bumps just now thinking about that night when we walked out, how intense the crowd was," Pyle said. "They were into it dude. I can't even put it into words. It was awesome."
Pyle, 36, has fought in Denmark, Russia and the U.K. This will be his first time in Brazil and he's facing Bahia, Brazil native Ricardo Funch. The American is coming off a quick loss against Rory MacDonald. He made sure to make some changes to get back on the right track.
Pyle added a new jiu-jitsu coach, Mitch Coats and Nate Pettit, who's serving as his main coach.

UFC 142: Mike Pyle is fired up to fight in front of hostile crowd
Mike Pyle has fought all over the world, but even he admits tomorrow night at UFC 142, Rio de Janeiro could be unlike anything he's ever seen.
"We're fighting and we have to fight other countryman on their soil. That makes it fun. Get out there in some hostile territory," Pyle told ESPN1100/98.9 FM. "It's kind of different. You don't get booed and looked at in strange ways at home. It's cool. Makes me feel like a super villain."
Pyle won't be walking through the Rio crowd with complete unfamiliarity. He cornerd Forrest Griffin back at UFC 134 and saw how intense the Brazilians were that night.
"The energy was ... I just got chill bumps just now thinking about that night when we walked out, how intense the crowd was," Pyle said. "They were into it dude. I can't even put it into words. It was awesome."
Pyle, 36, has fought in Denmark, Russia and the U.K. This will be his first time in Brazil and he's facing Bahia, Brazil native Ricardo Funch. The American is coming off a quick loss against Rory MacDonald. He made sure to make some changes to get back on the right track.
Pyle added a new jiu-jitsu coach, Mitch Coats and Nate Pettit, who's serving as his main coach.

Quinton Jackson reacts to positive steroid test from ?King Mo?
It was just two weeks ago that Muhammed Lawal was calling Quinton Jackson washed up and a B-level actor.
Jackson didn't say too much since, but he did sit down for an interview yesterday which happened to be perfectly timed with the news released by the Nevada State Athletic Commission that "King Mo" tested positive for an anabolic steroid following his Strikeforce fight.
"I feel that any fighter who has to use steroids to go in the cage and fight somebody is not a true fighter somebody just blatantly taking anabolical steroids to get in the cage is a sad case," said Jackson.
Jackson said Lawal's recent woes are to be expected.
"He talk a big game and calling people bums, it's just karma. Look at him. He's a very cocky individual," said Jackson.
Lawal tested positive for Drostanolone, but denied using any illegal substances.
Jackson shows a good sense of humor later in the interview over the fact that King Mo was mocking on his role in the "A-Team."

FEATURE: MMA's Top 10 Knockout Artists
<B>By MATT MOLGAARD<BR>
MMANEWS.COM Staff Writer</B><BR><BR>
While the sport of mixed martial arts has come a long way, at the heart of the typical fan, there still lies a desire to see that big mind boggling, brain rattling knockout produced every time two combatants enter a cage. That?s just a part of the primitive nature buried in mankind, and it?s ingrained in our beings; it isn?t going anywhere. With that on the mind, it makes one wonder, who are truly the greatest knockout artists competing today?<BR><BR>
I?ve got a bevy of thoughts on the topic, and I?m eager to share. But, before you proceed to launch any hate mail in my direction because I?ve omitted your favorite fighter, remember that this is subjective. Also remember, that I?ve limited this list to just 10 entrants, which means, I?ve got to be pretty damn picky here, and I?ll be forced to neglect a few fighters who certainly deserve a spot on this list. With that said, here?s my breakdown of the 10 best knockout artists in the game today!<BR><BR>
Alistair Overeem: Overeem?s extensive kickboxing background has empowered him with a remarkably diverse offensive attack. The man possesses the power to render foes unconscious with his knees, elbows, feet and fists. What?s more impressive is how aesthetically pleasing his finishes tend to be. In 36 wins, ?The Reem? has finished 15 foes via technical knockout or knockout.<BR><BR>
Anderson Silva: The flashiest fighter on the planet also happens to be the best knockout artist the sport has ever seen. Anderson attempts maneuvers that seasoned veterans would scoff at, and executes with starling effectiveness. Every limb on this man is lethal, and he?s proven it by destroying 18 of his 31 victims.<BR><BR>
Vitor Belfort: There is little question as to who has the fastest hands in the sport: it?s Vitor Belfort, without doubt. While Belfort isn?t all that likely to finish a fight with a high kick, his punches are delivered with staggering speed and accuracy, and his knees have become quite brutal. More than 65 percent of his 21 victories have come via technical knockout or knockout; 14 to be precise.<BR><BR>
Hector Lombard: Lombard is the middleweight?s unsung hero. This guy is a gentleman outside of the cage, but an absolute berserker once the bell sounds. Boxing is his specialty, and believe me, he is quite special. 17 of his 31 career victories have come by way of knockout or technical knockout, and 15 of those stoppages came within the first five minutes of competition.<BR><BR>
Jose Aldo: Jose Aldo is basically a miniature Anderson Silva. He?s aggressive, bold, powerful, fast and creative as hell. He finishes with anything from uppercuts to flying knees, and he does so in such explosive fashion it?s easy to miss; a blink and that visual is long distanced. Aldo has put away 13 of his 21 victims courtesy of a knockout or technical knockout.<BR><BR>
Shane Carwin: In regards to pure punching power, Shane Carwin is the heavyweight king. This man can turn the lights out with a six inch punch: when there?s genuine power generated, it?s a nightmare for anyone. In 12 victories, Shane has (amazingly) never been drawn beyond the first round. Seven of his victims met their demise in the form of a colossal fist, or two.<BR><BR><!--more-break-->
Dan Henderson: Dan Henderson wasn?t always a knockout artist. Once upon a time he favored his wrestling over his boxing, but a mass amount of experience has changed that. ?Hendo? has developed one of the most frightening overhand rights in the game, just ask Michael Bisping. 13 of Dan?s 29 wins stand as technical knockouts, or knockouts.<BR><BR>
Melvin Guillard: Melvin Guillard may well be the most powerful man competing at 155 pounds. When he lands anything of substance, opponents don?t just fall, they crash to the canvas. The man?s career has made for a remarkable highlight reel, as is evidenced by the 19 knockout stoppages that decorate his overall 29 victories.<BR><BR>
Junior dos Santos: The UFC heavyweight champion didn?t earn his gold strap by stealing narrow decision victories. He did it by obliterating a string of quality foes. Boxing is the man?s game, and many have fallen victim to the Brazilian?s heavy hands. Of his 14 victories, 10 have come via knockout or technical knockout.<BR><BR>
Paul Daley: Paul Daley may not be a fan favorite fighter due to his overtly brash demeanor, but he packs a massive wallop in his punch, and his Muay Thai is a bona fide threat. If this man lands a flush shot, the fight is most likely over. Just reference his record, which boasts 20 stoppage victories in 29 total fights.<BR><BR>

Remember when Tito Ortiz was a 22-year-old phenom? He celebrated his 37th birthday yesterday in Vegas
Another sign some of us are getting really old. How many of you folks remember watching a precocious 22-year-old Tito Ortiz debut at UFC 13 in 1997 and eventually slam his way to a UFC title in 2000?
One of the originals of this young sport just turned 37 yesterday.
Tito did it in style with his girlfiend Jenna Jameson at XS nightclub inside Encore Las Vegas.
[...] arrived at the hotspot after midnight and were seated at a private table overlooking the dance floor. Ortiz was dressed to the nines in a black pinstripe vest, black slacks, a black dress shirt and a white tie, while the blonde bombshell and former porn star wore skin-tight black pants, a shear top and fingerless leather gloves.
Before the late night party, Tito and friends celebrated just south on Las Vegas Boulevard at Caesars.
[...] Jameson and 18 of their friends dined at the new Old Homestead Steakhouse in Caesars Palace, feasting on Osetra caviar, shellfish platters, Dover sole, porterhouse steaks and side dishes.
The happy couple hung out the night before at Encore's Surrender. St Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford was also there.

Work! Jon Jones does his thing on the runway
UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has found his next opponent. Though the names Dan Henderson and Rashad Evans have been thrown around, he will face off with Derek Zoolander in a walk-off.
While in Brazil to take in UFC 142 last week, Jones walked in the Auslander fashion show. Skip to the 1:25 mark to see him.
He's a little too fast, but he did have the dead-eyed look that models work hard to achieve. But don't leave MMA for modeling, Jon. There's more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good-looking.

Dream realized: Diego Brandao buys his mother a house
Now, she is in a home. After the finale, he returned to Brazil and bought her a house. She started celebrating before he got home. From MMA Junkie:
"I can tell she's drunk," Brandao joked. "She's completely drunk. My friends told me, 'Eeesh, it was crazy during the fights in Manaus. Everything stopped.'"
Who can blame her? Her son made his dreams come true and was going to buy her a house. He turned heads earned a reputation for finishing fights while working his way through the show's tournament. He gave his mother plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Brandao trained with Jackson's MMA in New Mexico before fighting on TUF, and plans to return there soon after this weekend's fights in Rio de Janeiro. He does not yet have a fight lined up, but wants to be ready when he gets the call from the UFC.
With the UFC's featherweight division plumping up due to lightweight dropping down and the latest season of TUF, who would you like to see Brandao fight next? Tell us in the comments or on Facebook.

Chad Mendes fires back at Gray Maynard, Jose Aldo?s secret weapon
Jose Aldo knows he'll have to grapple come Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro so he brought in what he thinks is the answer to solve the Chad Mendes riddle. Gray Maynard is a former college wrestler just like Mendes. Mendes doesn't see the comparison.
"It think that's completely wrong just because you're a wrestler doesn't mean you're the samer as me," Mendes told ESPNRadio1100/98.9 FM. "I think our styles are completely different. In MMA, he doesn't really use a whole lot of wrestling anymore."
Mendes elaborated and sounded like he was getting more annoyed.
[ Don't miss the action: Watch UFC 142 live on Yahoo! Sports ]
"When he does wrestle, he's more of the bully. He's a slower, not very explosive [wrestler]. He gets you up against the cage and works for takedown from there," Mendes said. "My style of wrestling is more explosive from the open. Blast a double take you off your feet kind of wrestling."
What really set off Mendes was Maynard suggesting that he wasn't ready for a fight against Aldo.
"I don't see it. Him saying that I don't know where he's coming from. He's never trained with me. I don't know how he's saying he doesn't think that I'm ready. Maynard doesn't know anything about me."
Mendes challenges Aldo for his title on Saturday at UFC 142.
