UFC Fight Night 58 Prelims Results
UFC Fight Night 58 is set to go off tonight (Saturday December 20th, 2014) in Barueri, Sao Paolo, Brazil. Headlined by Lyoto Machida vs CB Dollaway, the event also has a decent prelims section.
Marcos Rogerio de Lima Igor Pokrajac faced off at light-heavyweight next. These guys are huge at 205, and pack some serious power. De Lima slugs a serious of huge punches during the first round, and Pokrajac is done. TKO win for Lima.
Featherweight Tom Niinimaki welcomed Renato Carneiro to the UFC, in quite a slow starter. The two never really engaged in round one, “Moicano” opened up in round two and managed to rock “Stoneface” on the feet and get the finish by RNC submission.
Also at 145 pounds we saw Darren Elkins taking on Hacran Dias, and it was the Brazilian in control of the fight. He was too strong and fast on the feet for Elkins, and also scored numerous takedowns. Elkins rallies at the end, but it’s not enough. Dias takes the UD.
Leandro Issa battled Yuta Sasaki at bantamweight to start the FOX Sports 1 prelims in a fast paced grappling match. Issa looked very sharp in victory, as he submitted Sasaki with a tight rear naked choke in round two.
Tim Means took on Marcio Alexandre Jr at welterweight, and it was mostly a stand up war early on. Round two saw Alexandre collapse from an apparent knee to a downed man, although second inspection showed it was legal. So is that a TKO? They continued for the full three, with Alexandre looking beaten and tired, Split for Means.
Jake Collier vs Vitor Miranda opened the Fight Pass card at middleweight and what a great fight. After tentative exchanges early on, Collier nearly got a finish with a gator roll on the mat. They stood back up, and Miranda landed a beautiful head kick and finished with punches on the ground.
