Junior Dos Santos Beats Shane Carwin

Junior Dos Santos Beats Shane Carwin by Unanimous Decision

In the first half of the 1st round Shane Carwin looked good. He was trading punches with Dos Santos and seemed to be holding his own. But as the second half of first round came about Shane Carwin looked seriously gassed out. One minute he looked fine and the next he was caught with a glancing shot that sent him stumbling to the side of the cage. Santos followed up with about twenty unanswered punches. It looked like the fight was going to be stopped but Herb Dean let it continue.

At one stage while Junior Dos Santos was destroying Carwin with punches against the cage, Santos actually looked to the referee as if to say; Aren't you gonna jump in. But the referee did not stop the fight, which I think was the correct decision as Carwin was still defending himself in the way of having his head turned away from the punches and positioning his hand up in front of his face to try to block the punches. The end result of this huge barrage of punches was Shane Carwin's nose being broken and his face looking a complete bloodied mess.

The rest of the fight was quite slow paced. Carwin was trying to clear his head, and Junior Dos Santos was landing punches but being very cautious also. He knew that he was going to win the fight and didn't want to make any silly mistakes and end up getting caught by a big punch from Shane Carwin. Junior Dos Santos was taken down a few times by Carwin but managed to get back to his feet quite easily. He showed excellent strength.

Shane Carwin did land some punches, but after that first round beating he was rather spent and looked more interested in just seeing the fight through to the end instead of trying to actually win the fight. Fair play to Shane Carwin, he showed a lot of heart by not giving up, but something tells me that if Dos Santos would have pushed the action a little more instead of fighting cautious, he probably would have stopped Shane Carwin.

Junior Does Santos will now fight Cain Velasquez for the UFC Heavyweight Title.

Jon Jones Vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

Jon Jones Vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

This match is not yet set in stone, but Jon Jones is more then likely going to defend his UFC light heavyweight title belt against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Very exciting match up. Both fighters are coming off decent wins, but Jon Jones's victory over Shogun Rua was much more impressive. Jon Jones is on fire at the moment and seems unstoppable. He is very talented there's no doubt about that. Is Rampage the man to put a stop to Jones winning streak. Hopefully we will find out soon.

It's been confirmed that UFC Welter Weight Champion George St. Pierre will fight StikeForce Welter Weight Champion Nick Diaz at UFC 137. This will be the first time that the current champion from the UFC will fight the champion of StrikeForce. This should be a great fight. We all know that GSP is one the best MMA fighters in the world but Nick Diaz is also right up there too. More importantly, Diaz is very experienced in all aspects of MMA, and really comes to fight, so it won't be a walkover for GSP.

Carl Froch Vs Glen Johnson

Carl Froch Vs Glen Johnson

Carl Froch will be defending his WBC Super Middle Weight Title on Saturday night against Glen Johnson. The winner of this fight not only has the WBC title, but also goes through to the final of the Super Six Tournament to face Andre Ward. Glen Johnson's a very tough old workhorse fighter. He's been in with almost all the great fighters of his era, and done very well against them too. Glen Johnson is now in his early 40's but don't let that fool you. Even today, he is still fighting and beating top class fighters. He has a boxing style that is very hard to neutralise. Basically, he just keeps walking his opponent down, and sooner or later he catches up with them. It's hard for an opponent to stay away from Johnson for the whole 12 rounds. He is great at working on the inside and equally as good at mixing his punches from head to body. Johnson's overhand right is something that Carl Froch should be weary of..

Although Johnson is way past his prime and everyone expects a Carl Froch win, he still has a tough fight on his hands. Johnson is a really tough opponent, very awkward and very strong. Carl's tactics have to be right for this match. If he uses his range and movement for most of the fight he should win. But if he abandons his gameplan and trys to have a tear up with Johnson he could very well find himself in deep trouble. Not saying Carl can't go toe to toe, we have seen in previous fights that he can have a tear up with the best of them. But he doesn't need to risk fighting like that in this fight. Box clever and Froch wins on points. If Froch want's a war he plays into Johnsons hands and Froch could possibly be saying bye bye to his WBC title and a place in the super six final.

Something tells me that Carl won't be silly in this fight. He's not stupid, he knows he has to fight clever against Johnson. Should be a very interesting fight.
