UFC 118 on Spike: Lauzon returns from injury and destroys Ruediger

 

After his experience on season 5 of "The Ultimate Fighter," Gabe Ruediger ever got to fight in UFC again. Perhaps now would he had waited a bit longer time. Joe Lauzon, returning from a knee injury, slammed, fists, elbowed and finally armbarred Ruediger. Was just over two minutes of absolute domination as won Lauzon via submission in the first round.

"Welcome to Boston," shouted Lauzon, who comes from Near East Bridgewater, Massachusetts, "I'm glad I got to fight here in Boston. I wanted to take his arm, and this is exactly what I did."

Not there was absolutely no ring rust from Lauzon, who was returning from a knee injury in January. Lauzon (UFC 7-5, 6-2) set the tone early with a great Ruediger right and pushed against the cage. Here's where I got a hold of Ruediger and slammed him to the mat.Ruediger encrypted well but was still getting hit by big shots. scored on his knees and took some shots massive facial as Lauzon punched under the arms. Ruediger actually gotten at his feet, but was almost suplexed as part of another slam to the mat.

Lauzon don't leave it this time.That's when he downloaded with some elbows enormous face of Ruediger. He bailed then renounce his back where Lauzon converted for finishing armbar.

  Update: Lauzon won $ 60,000 for the submission of the night.

Reputation of Ruediger took a beating from his appearance on 5 TUF.He was pictured dine and relax before his first fight and then couldn't make the weight.He was quite the Queen of the drama and close before making it always at La Scala.UFC Dana White he launched by casa TUF and he refused to show.The UFC elected not to give an official Ruediger fight after the season was over.

He then hit the minor league circuit, and Lauzon, also a cast member that season, went on to become one of the hottest prospects in 155-pound division of UFC. Lauzon went 5-2, winning four bonus reward postfight. Ruediger (17-6, 0-2 UFC) was a fill-in tonight for the Etim Terry injured. we'll see if he gets another shot. This was a pathetic and showed once again a minor lack of class when he refused to shake the hand of Lauzon following the fight.

Jorge Gurgel has had a bad habit of hitting with strikers. A brilliant Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, he did not suffer devastating consequences until this evening. Gurgel of Noons K.J. game and nearly banged your head off. In the first three minutes of struggle, Gurgel has been marked by 20-of-44 shots. It is only made worse from there. Noons eliminated almost Gurgel with a left hook at the end of the first. Then at the beginning of the second, he finished quickly when he landed a bad combination with right straight, followed by a left hook. Kerry Hatley Referee stopped the fight at 0: 19 of second Noons giving the victory, but was not without controversy.

Once Noons fell Gurgel, tried to Hatley to save Gurgel. The REF hesitated so Noons downloaded with three more left on Gurgel helpless. Then as the official carnage listlessly moved to stop the fight, Noons delivered a right knee. A problem, Gurgel was still on the soil. The blow was clearly illegal.Showtime Mauro Ranallo screeched color entry in protest. Apparently, Texas officials decided the knee was legal or simply not seeing it.

 

When Gus Johnson of Showtime entered the cage he probed Noons with four questions but shied away from him asking the illegal strike (pictured).

"Jorge is great adversary," said Noons (9-1). "He was to stay away from my hands trying to me enter into his gameplan but I instinct killer".

At the end of the first there was also a question about left hook that almost eliminated Gurgel (13-7).Showtime never shown a playback with sound.It seemed that the punch landed as the bell sounded.Ranallo and others thought that it may have come only after the Bell.

In all, 41-Noons landed of-80 strikes while Gurgel was just 21-of-67. Clearly, Noons landed the heaviest blows. Gurgel was bleeding around both the eyes and nose. he could barely stand at the end of the fight was noons of face markings.
