UFC on Fox Recap: Mighty Mouse Retains Belt

by Dr. Octagon, J.D.

Demetrious Johnson vs. John Moraga: Demetrious Johnson outclassed Moraga throughout the fight. Moraga only landed one good punch, but it was a doozy, hitting Johnson straight in the nose as he was coming in. Still, Johnson recovered, and won the fight with an armbar late in the fifth.

Rory MacDonald vs. Jake Ellenberger: I can’t believe what a snoozer this fight was. Jake Ellenberger apparently didn’t like being jabbed in the face, and didn’t push the action at all as the crowd booed throughout the entire fight. I hate it when fighters give away two rounds in a three-round fight. Rory jabbed and backed up any time the shorter fighter came at him, but cruised to an easy victory.

Robbie Lawler vs. Bobby Voelker: Robbie Lawler put a savage beating on Bobby Voelker. Lawler finished it with a kick to the head and two coffin nails on the ground. Great fight.

Liz Carmouche vs. Jessica Andrade: Andrade looked good in the first, but Carmouche got on top of her on the second and went Gorlilla on her. I believe this is the first time that two openly gay fighters have faced off in the Octagon, which went almost unnoticed in the lead-up to the fight.
