UFC on FOX 14 Main Card Results: Rumble Destroys Alexander Gustafsson In Round One

Tonight’s (Sat., January 24, 2015) UFC on FOX 14 is underway from the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.

The card features a pivotal light heavyweight clash between Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson for the next perceived shot at decorated champion Jon Jones.

The bout started with the fighters trading leg kicks and a good right from Guatafsson that was followed by a head kick from Johnson. Gustafsson’s jab found a home, but an eye poke to “Rumble” halted the action. Johnson dropped Gustafsson with a huge right. “The Mauler” was in big trouble, eating huge shot after huge shot and flopping to the canvas. “Rumble” swarmed on the ground to land power shot after power shot, forcing referee Marc Goddard to stop the fight.

In the co-main event, legendary slugger Dan Henderson will take on former Strikeforce champion Gegard Mousasi in “Hendo’s” return to middleweight. “The Dreamcatcher” pushed the pace with technical strikes early on, and then tagged him with an overhand right behind the temple to swarm a dazed Henderson with a flurry of strikes to earn a stoppage to boos from the crowd.

Upon review of the stoppage, it appeared that Henderson went for and succeeded in getting a takedown as referee Leon Roberts stopped the fight. “The Dreamcatcher” said that he warned Roberts of “Hendo” having blood in his eye after a sharp jab.

Phil Davis and Ryan Bader will also battle in the upper echelon of the light heavyweight division in a match-up of dominant wrestlers. Davis kicked off the bout with a clean right hand, controlling the action as Bader landed a few solid counters. “Darth” avoided two takedowns to land a good elbow in the second, but eventually Davis took his back and rode out the round along the cage wall. Bader landed a few accurate punches, but didn’t show much urgency as the action slowed to a crawl. Bader ended the bout with a suplex takedown, which may have ultimately sealed his split decision win.

The main card will be kicked off by a featherweight affair pitting Swedish native Akira Corassani and TUF alum Sam Sicilia. The fight began with Corassani winging shots and Sicilia pressing the pace with Octagon control. Coarrassani found a home for some pinpoint shots, but Sicilia remained undeterred. Sicilia suddenly unleashed a monstrous looping right hand that had Corassani out cold.
