What a great night of fights on Versus!!


First lets start off with the main event.


John "Bones" Jones vs Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushanko


Well, what can you say here. John Jones proved that he is ready for a step up in competition as he dismantled Vladimir via first rd. tko. Jones looked very comfortable against a very seasoned vet in Matyushanko. He showed some patience and his desire to finish fights.


This win puts Jones according to Dana White, In the top 8 of the LHW division. Who and what is next for Jones?? Winner of Rampage/Machida?? Forrest Griffin?? We shall soon see.....



Next up..Mark Munoz vs Yushin Okami

Okami wins this matchup via Split Decision, Okami displayed great take down defense in this matchup. Basically stopping Munoz every attempt at a take down, Okami kept Munoz off balance with the staight left hand all evening, not letting Munoz get inside him to utilize the clinch or dirty boxing. The continued take down defense seemed to frustrate Munoz, and also took a lot of energy from Munoz as he seemed to gas in the 3rd round. This victory put Okami right back into the 185lb title picture.


Jake Ellenberger vs John Howard.
Ellenberger wins via 3rd rd. tko...doctor stoppage


This was a great fight...Both fighters came to throw bombs. Each trading off early. With Howard in my opinion getting the better of the standup the entire fight.. In the end it was the repeated takedowns and GNP from Ellenberger that was too much for Howard. Eventually closing the left eye of Howard and eventually leading to the doctor stoppage.


Takanori Gomi vs Tyson Griffin
Gomi wins via KO rd 1.
The fireball kid is back!! Griffin actually was looking good in this fight, as he stayed close to Gomi and pestered him with punches and low kicks, it was one attempted low kick that led to Tyson leaving an opening for a right hand from Gomi that put Tyson face first on the canvas. The referee immediately stepped in and stopped the fight. Tyson was not happy with this...but you can clearly see it was a good stoppage as Tyson was out.



Great night of Fights!!
