The fight (No. 1)
In the night’s first episode, we have Team Miller’s Steven Siler (17-6) vs. Team Bisping’s Diego Brandao (13-7).
UFC president Dana White does the standard pre-fight introductions, referee Josh Rosenthal is officiating the fight, and we’re underway.
Diego opens and misses with a flying knee that Bisping immediately admonishes. But he then lands a nice overhand right before Steven answers with a straight right while avoiding an uppercut. Diego lands another overhand punch that staggers Steven. He follows him into the cage with another knee and then drops Steven with a vicious two-punch combo. And this fight is over in quick fashion due to the TKO.
The trash-talking between the coaches begins moments later, even as the ref announced the official result. As Team Miller heads back to the dressing room, Bisping chases after them with taunts. Miller isn’t sure why Bisping is so hostile but ultimately surmises it’s because he has a small penis.
The fight (No. 2)
It’s fight day, and we have Team Miller’s John Dodson (11-5) vs. Team Bisping’s “Prince” John Albert (6-1).
Dana again does the intros, and Steve Mazzagatti serves as ref.
We’re underway, and it seems John is going to have some issues with “Price’s” longer reach. John, though, unloads a nice combo and follows with a low kick. “Prince” then just barely checks a heavy head kick. John gets through another combination. “Prince” circles away and regroups and looks fine. John lands a nice body kick and darts out of range. He returns with a body punch and low kick. “Prince” returns a low kick. John shows nice footwork and lands another body kick. John fails on a takedown but lands some punches. “Prince” then clinches and unloads some knees, but he’s tagged with punches and staggered. John unloads more punches and a knee, but “Prince” takes him to the mat. But during a scramble, John ends up on top. “Prince” works his way back to his feet, but he’s exhausted. The pace slows as “Prince” throws single strikes, but John darts in with a knee. “Prince” becomes the more active fighter, but he doesn’t have much behind his shots, and John tags him with a kick to the ribs. “Prince” answers with one of his own. John works some kick-punch combos. “Prince” nearly gets a takedown at the end of the round but ends up on his back and eats hammerfists before the horn sounds. The round belongs to John, 10-9.
John works low kicks but then slips when he’s accidentally kicked in the groin. He’s back up and shakes it off, and we’re underway again. John pushes forward with punches, but “Prince” easily defends. John lands a nice lunging punch to the body. “Prince” lands a low kick, but John answers with a head kick that partially connects. The fighters trade in the center of the cage, and the round is up for grab midway through. “Prince” snaps off a nice low kick and then takes John’s back from a standing position. But he slips off and goes to the mat, and John works from top with punches before “Prince” gets back up. John works more low kicks before clinching and forcing the fight to the mat. He quickly lets “Prince” back up, though. John lands some two-punch combos as “Prince” wings tired punches. There’s little action late, but John scores a late takedown before fighting off “Prince’s” amrbar attempt. It’s a closer round, but John likely takes it 10-9.
Sure enough, there’s no third round, and John Dodson gets the win via 20-18 scores.
