Saturday night I went to the Rumble on the Rock.
Highlights were as follows
Royce Gracie and Chad Rowan will fight New Years eve in Japan.
*Kaynan Kaku vs. Gilbert Melendez
Winner Gibert Melendez Kaynan was not prepared and didn't know what to do once he got hit.
*Ross Ebanez vs. Dennis Hallman Dennis Hallman won (don't remember much though)
*Wes Sims vs. Antoni Hardonk Hardonk won this fight reversing the mount and chioking him out.
*Falaniko Vitale vs. Kristof Midoux This was one of the best fights all evening as far as standup fighting goes the frnch man Midox was extreemly fast and hit like a ton of bricks Falaniko didn't stand a chance.
*Kurt Kipapa vs. Aitor Canup I don't remember this fight but I do know that Aitor Canup won because every Hawaiian fighter lost exept one and I will let you know who that is latter.
*Sean O'Haire vs. Shungo Oyama Sean O'Haire for an ex WW(E, F what ever) wrester he wasn't bad he is strong and fast and he won. he got zero style points because he is a GOOFBALL the guy was doing somekind of weird dance step coming into the ring. Then when he won we tried to do a back flip and landed on his head.
*Wesley Correira vs. Yoshihiro Nakao Cabbage what more can I say everone likes Cabbage but unfortunealy he was fighting a wall and the wall wouldn't go down. Here's the scoop. Yoshi took him to the ground a couple of times and was working him really good the referee stood them up for no action (that was BS) Yoshi kept giving him elbows and stuff. Anyway they stood up for most of the 2nd and 3rd round and Cabbage kept giving him some serious rising knees while holding his head and Yoshi would not go down. Yoshi was even taunting him. It was like a Rocky fight little defense and alot of tired guys beating the Hits out of each other. Remember I told evey Hawaiian lost execpt one. Well Cabbage lost also.
*Royler Gracie vs. Yoshihiro Nakao personally I was rooting against Gracie; However, Gracie put on a clinic his opponent was small and stacked (mucular) Gracie was on the bottom (in the guard I think) and his opponent picked him up twice and slammed him from about 4 or five feet in the air. Gracie didn't let go and eventually choked him out with and triangulation Choke.
*Carter Williams vs. Tom Howard = Williams has some hugh legs he was on the bottoms and reversed it like my five year old was sitting on my chest. It was simply incredable. Williams impressively won the match in the first round.
*BJ Penn vs. Rodrigo Gracie = Went three rounds and the local boy fought his own fight. he would go to the ground with gracie beat him for a while and then get back up. BJ Penn is one tough SOB. BJ Penn won.
Disclaimer I know nothing about about BJJ or MMA terms so I appologies if I sound ignorant. I am just trying to inform the public.
