Once again it’s the beast machine giving you your weekly dose of MMA news and PPV reviews.

Before starting this post I would like to dedicate this post to Helio Gracie 1913-2009. This man was one of the original Masters of Brazilian Ju-jitsu. With a heart of gold and fighting spirit of a lion this master will forever be in the heart of those who practice Brazilian ju-jitsu. May he rest in peace.

This time around im gonna sum up last Saturday’s Pay per View UFC 94 The main event being George St Pierre VS BJ Penn. This high end rivalry began in 2006 when GSP beat Penn by a decision and Penn felt he did more (meanwhile in round 1 he did fantastic , poked him in the eye and was destroyed in round 2 and 3…so much for doing work)

The line up of fights were as followed

Clay Guida vs Nate Diaz

Karo Parysian VS Dong Hyun Kim

Jon Jones (NEW YORK) vs Stephan Bonnar (Ultimate Fighter season 1)

Lyoto Machida vs Thiago Silva

George St. Pierre (main event)

In the Guida vs Diaz fight it consisted of mass striking exchanges. Diaz clearly had the reach advantage but as far as wrestling went guida had complete control of the match. Diaz pretty much threw a great number of punches and a few takedown attempts but then being forced onto his back by guida. Throwing punches applying pressure and taking the fight to diaz on the ground. Guida SLAMMED the life out of diaz towards the end of the round. Diaz attemped a submission attempt but failed. In round 2 it was all control on the ground. Nate diaz again tried to submit guida but failed in the takedown game. In round 3 nothing but punch exchanging and clinching. Guida scored a sick takedown and was able to get control of Diaz leg utilizing his wrestling techniques. With an excessive amount of aggresion and active control Guida won this match with a decision win

Matchup 2 was Parisyan Vs DHK.. PLEASE TAKE NOTE DHK IS A SICK JUDO-KA (VERY GOOD JUDO MARTIAL ARTIST) and parysian is definitely one himself but DHK DEMOLISHED parisyan. Parisyan managed to get DHK into the corner but DHK was able to throw Parisyan into Guard and eventually took his back. DHK became a monkey and was able to hold onto Parisyan’s back and land a bunch of punches. Parisyan tried to roll DHK off but failed miserably. Parisyan finally was able to get DHK on his back and throw punches to the body of DHK. DHK was able to get up and control Parisyans back AGAIN. A back and forth match for round 1 DHK scored a sick Triangle against Pariyan but Parisyan was luckily able to get out of the submission attempt.

Round 2 – Striking exchanges through out the opening seconds. DHK Controls parisyan against the cage and ended up on his back after a judo toss attempt and Parisyan attempted a kimura from North and south position but failed to keep the lock in. Parisyan Caught DHK’s back with one arm hooked in DHK stands up back into a clinch with parisyan. Towards the end of the round Parisyan was able to finish off with a good exchange.

Round 3 – Striking and of course the clinch for both fighters. DHK takes parisyan down with a great Judo toss and when attempting to get up he threw an illegal kick to the face of DHK. Standing up Parisyan tries to take down DHK but fails and DHK clinches up with parisyan. Towards the end of the round Parisyan trips DHK with a leg trip and DHK was able to Control the match and DHK wins by decision.

Jones vs Bonner in my opinion Jones completely Dominated Bonner hands down. Jones who is from rochester NY has ALOT of potential and by defeating Bonner how he did proved everything. in round 1 Jones kept baiting bonner in with BS punches and kicks. Eventually getting serious and taking down and tossing bonner around like a ragdoll and tossing tremendous knees to bonners body. at this point even me and my training buddies said “This guy must know some type of aikido to be tossing bonner around like this”.. Honestly I cant even describe this fight except for SLAUGHTER. Jones did a great job controlling , Ground and pounding , submission attempts , and tossing bonner around like the hunk of garbage he is.

Lyoto Machida vs Thiago Silva- In round 1 it consisted of good exchanges of punches and kicks but when Silva was taken down machida got back up to bait silva in. Machida threw a vicious knee and a BIG left hand which put silva down. Machida keeping silva on the ground and controlling him with his ju-jitsu machida stood back up and scored a few leg kicks as Silva waited on his back for machida to attack. Machida was able to get silva in a clinch and a minor exchange of punches until the round was about to finish Machida throws silva off him with a trip and puts the exclamation mark with a HUGE right hand while silva was on the ground Knocking out Silva’s soul out of his body and out of the arena INSANE Finishing knockout

Penn vs GSP

As far as this fight went I have never seen BJ penn get dominated as much as he did in this fight. Penn should never fight in this weight class again after this fight.

Round 1 – The majority of the fight was in a standing clinch with both fighters exchanging knees back and forth GSP attempted a single leg but penn was able to avoid the takedown with his ju-jitsu practice. GSP exchanged some punches with Penn ending the first round. GSP winning the first round

Round 2 – the clinching was in GSP’s favor with his muaythai and ju-jitsu altogether. GSP scored a few vicious elbows to penn’s face and scored a sick takedown off the cage . GSP continues his assault with vicious punches and elbows and penn tries to rubber guard against GSP’s assault and receives a HUGE right hand from GSP. Eventually GSP gets side control of penn and throws punches and keeps penn in a 2 quarter stack (Head is held by one arm as the other is used to smother your breathing pattern) GSP continues scoring HUGE punches which exhausts penn to very little activity during the fight and him being on the floor. GSP continues his assault in the 2nd round throwing insane punches from all weird angles and cuts BJ penn under the eye. Round 3 is where GSP continues the SAME ASSAULT against penn. GSP opens up the wound on Penn’s eye and penn almost scores a take down trying to control GSP against the cage but fails. GSP continues throwing knees in the clinch. GSP takes BJ penn down and ends the round with punches to win all 3 out of 5 rounds so far.

Round 4 – GSP catches penn in side control and begins his assault throwing punches just like in rounds 1 – 3 same result and elbows and everything else PENN GETS DESTROYED in this round. GSP gets up and punches the cage (in my opinion i have NEVER seen GSP this angry)

Is there a round 5? ……………NO GSP WINS !!!! BJ Penn is unable to fight and throws in the towel.

Now alot of people ask if GSP cheated in the fight. The answer is no. When you secure side control on your opponent in the UFC you are allowed to throw 3 o’ clock (horizontal) elbows and punches of your choice as long as it doesn’t hit the ear. GSP in this fight was able to destroy BJ Penn’s will in this fight.. great fight to GSP and yet another Marvelous night in the UFC Book
