UFC 130 updates!!!

[Emir Mehovic]

Story fights his way back to the feet, and again they clinch up. They break apart for all of two seconds before Story moves back in to work for another takedown on the fence. Winslow breaks them at 1:20 with little happening. Alves throws a left kick that Story uses to send him off balance. Alves lands on his keister, but bounces right back up ... where Story again ties him up and muscles for a short takedown. The crowd boos this continued gameplan from the 2-to-1 underdog, but it seems to be working for him. Alves fires off a couple kicks as the round draws to a close, but they're of little consequence

Alves needs to do something spectacular in the 3rd round to win.

[Emir Mehovic]

Alves has likely been told he's down a couple rounds, so comes out slinging. Against the fence, he lands a nice right knee to Story's chin. But Story doesn't dro, though the sweat flies. Story again sets up a shot with a combo, but can't get the fight to the mat this time. After some more combos, Story again moves in to clinch, holds Alves on the fence and tries to muscle him down. But Alves avoids it this time and they break apart. Nice shot from Alves, and he just misses on an uppercut. Story grabs a leg for a single, but it's not there. Some nice shots from both fighters, but nothing to give either of them an edge to capitalize on. With a minute left, Story again tries for a takedown on the wall, and when they break with 30 seconds left alves throws a high kick going for the late knockout in desperation. They slug it out for the last few seconds, but neither can end it. Alves did some good work, and I'll give him the third 10-9, but the fight to Story 29-28.

Result: Rick Story def. Thiago Alves, unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Im 4 for 7 in perdictions!!!

Stefan Struve vs. Travis Browne is next!!!!!!

[Emir Mehovic]

Struve (21-4, 5-2 UFC), the UFC's tallest fighter at 6-foot-11, has back-to-back knockout wins over Christian Morecraft and Sean McCorkle at UFC 117 and UFC 124, respectively. The Dutch heavyweight earned a Knockout of the Night bonus for his win over Morecraft. Browne (10-0-1, 1-0-1 UFC) looks to keep his unbeaten record intact. His last outing, at UFC 120 in London last October, was a unanimous draw against Cheick Kongo.

Round 1: Well, these guys are tall. There. It's out of the way. Browne opens with a pair of kicks, and Struve counters with one of his own. They then throw body kicks at the same time, and Struve follows with a flying knee attempt that backs Browne to the fence. Both guys are so tall they could reach over the fence and shake Dana White's hand if they wanted. Steve Mazzagatti breaks them up after only 20 seconds or so on the fence. Struve throws a right kick to the body, and Browne catches it and tries to throw him off balance. A teep from Struve pushes Browne back momentarily, and then they clinch – which leads to a takedown for Browne. Browne tries to make something happen on the ground, but there's not much there, and Struve gets out momentarily and works for a choke. But back on the feet, after some short exchanges, things go south for Struve in a hurry. A massive straight right Superman-like punch from Browne knocks Struve onto his back immediately, and Browne follows it with two big shots on the ground as Mazzagatti steps in.

Result: Travis Browne def. Stefan Struve, knockout, 4:11 Round 1
