Since UFC 112 featured two title fights that both went the distance in completely baffling fashion, we didn’t get to see much preliminary card action, with the exception of Phil Davis’s first-round stoppage of Alexander Gustafsson. Here’s how the dark matches shook out…
– Phil Davis def. Alexander Gustafsson via submission (anaconda choke), 4:55 of round 1.
– Rick Story def. Nick Osipczak via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
– DaMarques Johnson def. Brad Blackburn via TKO, 2:08 of round 3
– Paul Kelly def. Matt Veach via submission (guillotine choke), 3:41 of round 2
– Jon Madsen def. Mostapha Al Turk via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
With three straight losses, Al Turk is definitely heading to the scrap yard after this one, while Blackburn and Veach may also be in trouble after suffering their second-consecutive defeats. But enough about those poor losers. Blackburn’s opponent DaMarques Johnson picked up a $75,000 Knockout of the Night bonus for putting Bad Brad away with a body kick in the third round of their fight after getting handled for most of the first two frames. Rafael Dos Anjos was awarded the Submission of the Night bonus for his armbar of Terry Etim, while the Fight of the Night was given to Mark Munoz and Kendall Grove for their two-rounder, which Munoz won via TKO after almost getting finished repeatedly in round one.

This was my comment a week ago in the ufc 112 video hype article. Am I a fucking Nostradamus or what? Not only did I predict it would turn out like the Leites fight but I also predicted that he would pull that same bullshit of apologizing in the ring and then taking it back afterwards and defending his shitball performance. Other things I was ahead of the curve on include: UFC blatantly exaggerating carwin's height and the odd fact that there seems to be more more giant sized condoms in Walgreen's than there are people who can wear them. oh, and that BJ isn't p4p better than GSP
edit: other things include that there is no time travel because there is no such thing as time, and that there are no such thing as alternate or multiple universes, but those aren't mma related.
