UFC 64 round-by-round coverage

We'll have full coverage in kind of backwards order. We're looking for your thoughts on tonight's show, so you can leave a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle along with a best and worst match to dave@wrestlingobserver.com.

Notes from the prelims that didn't air from Oliver Copp:

Kurt Pellegrino b Junior Assuncao via choke in the first round
Yushin Okami b Kalib Starnes via pounding on the ground in the third round.

Sean Sherk captured the lightweight title beating Kenny Florian via unanimous decision over five rounds.

Rich Franklin vs. Anderson Silva for the middleweight title is next up. Franklin has a nasty black right eye and swelling near his left eye from training.

Silva knocked him out in the first round. He was destroying Franklin's body with knees from the clinch, and then started throwing knees to the head. It was a brutal knee to the chin and face that broke his nose. A second knee rocked him and a third knee to the temple put Franklin down and out. Franklin said that he was surprised how strong Silva was in the clinch and looked very dejected.

Clay Guida b Justin James via choke in the second round. First round was excellent. James got the early edge striking, but Guida finally got him down and did some ground and pound. James got an armbar late in the round, but Guida did a great job escaping.

Second round saw Guida take James down and use ground and pound. He connected with a good punch from the top that stunned James. He connected with a dozen or more punches until maneuvering to James' back and getting a choke to win.

Spencer Fisher vs. Dan Lauzon opens the PPV. Lauzon was winning the round with two takedowns and ground and pound. When Fisher got up, he unloaded on Lauzon with a flyine knee to the shoulder and punches to the chin and another to the temple and Lauzon was down and it was stopped.

Cheick Kongo vs. Carmelo Marrero:
First round saw Marrero take Kongo down. Marrero never hurt Kongo badly but did enough ground and pound to take the round.
Second round saw Marrero score three takedowns, but did nothing with the advantage. Kongo at least tried a guillotine from the bottom. I could see it being scored for Marrero got I have it 19-19.
Third round saw Marrero go for a takedown and Kongo stuffed him and got on top and was working for a wristlock a few times. Marrero got a takedown late in the round. I'd give Kongo this round.
I've got it 29-28 for Kongo but the announcers indicate 29-28 for Marrero. Either way, it was a boring match. 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28 for Marrero via split decision. To me, all those takedowns in round two shouldn't have won the round because he did nothing with them, and Marrero went for submissions in round two and three.

Jon Fitch vs. Kuniyoshi Hironaka is up next.
Round one: Hironaka was working for a triangle early, but Fitch escaped and scored with ground and pound. He had Hironaka's back at the end of the round. I'd give it to Fitch.
Round two: Fitch threw a punch and scored a high takedown. Lots of ground and pound. After a stand-up, Fitch got another takedown. Late in the round he was getting good hard punches. Easily 20-18 for Fitch at this point.
Third round: Fitch dominated stand-up, and scored takedowns at will and brutalized Hironaka with ground and pound. Fitch busted his own nose up landing on his nose doing a takedown. Easy 30-27 for Fitch. I don't see how it could be scored any other way.

One judge had it 30-25 and the other two had it 30-27, easy win for Fitch.

Sean Sherk vs. Kenny Florian.

Great match. The story of the match was Sherk was always able to take Florian down and was landing clean shots with punches and elbows. Florian can take punishment, incuding surviving a fifth round slam where his head bounced off the mat. When the fight was standing, it was a war and Florian was getting the better with wicked body kicks, but Sherk could always get him down. Florian bloodied Sherk up on the right side of the head in the second round from a series of elbows while on his back. Sherk was bleeding badly for the rest of the fight. I had it 49-46 and the judges scores were 49-46, 49-46 and 50-45 for Sherk.
