Green goes the distance for the win
Desmond Green, a two-time MAC (Mid-American Conference) champion for University at Buffalo, earned a unanimous decision over Gleison Tibau in a three-round lightweight fight. The official judges scored it 30-27, 30-27, 29-27 for the three-time NCAA qualifier for the Bulls; in addition, all the reporters providing live coverage from both Sherdog.com and MMAjunkie.com all awarded each round to Green.
Sherdog.com reported in its live coverage that Green was "applying slow pressure and holding Tibau out of striking or shooting range" thanks to the long reach of "the Predator." MMAjunkie.com writers just outside the Octagon said, "This remains a boxing match, and Green is just a little more accurate and active. Not much kicking between the two."
With the win, Green is now 21-7 in his pro MMA career (and 2-2 in UFC), while Gleison Tibau drops to 33-14 overall, and 16-12 in UFC.
Brooks basically knocks himself out
The gods were not smiling on "The Monkey God" as Jarred Brooks, at one time a nationally-ranked high school wrestler from Warsaw, Ind., was knocked out in the second round by Jose Torres in their preliminary-round flyweight (125-pound) bout at UFC Utica.
Both MMAjunkie.com and Sherdog.com had their fightside reporters scoring the first round for Brooks in their live coverage. However, in what MMAjunkie.com describes as "a crazy turn of events" in Round 2, "(Brooks) lifts his opponent high in the air and leaps forward with a slam to the floor. Impressive move, but Brooks appears to be the one who's rocked, with the back of his head crashing into the canvas. Torres quickly pulls free from his stunned opponent and turns to take the back, punching away at his stunned opponent. Brooks is indeed out, and this fight is over." Score it a KO at 2:55 of Round 2 of the scheduled three-round fight.
With the loss, Jarred Brooks is now 13-2 overall in his MMA career, and drops to 1-2 in UFC ...while Jose Torres stays flawless at 8-0 overall and is now 1-0 after his UFC debut.
