Matt Wiman – via UFC.com

It’s time to check in for another edition of Highs, Lows and Oh-No’s to see what was the best, the worst, and the oh-no moments from UFC on Fuel TV 5.

Highs
Matt Wiman submitting Paul Sass by armbar. Sass has had thirteen victories and all but one of those victories was finished by a submission. And while there were times when he nearly had Wiman in a submission, it was even more surprising to see Wiman actually grab ahold of the arm and lock in an armbar. At first Sass was defending it well, but when Wiman was able to fully extend the arm, it was just a matter of time before Sass either tapped or his arm was broken. Thankfully he chose the former.

Brad Pickett knocked out Yves Jabouin with a massive uppercut. Back at UFC 91 Jeremy Stephens landed a massive uppercut on Rafael dos Anjos in what was dubbed a wii-bowling uppercut. Pickett seemed to have studied that tape, because he landed a massive uppercut that sent Jabouin to the canvas. Pickett pulled back and fired the punch straight in between Jabouin’s arms and it quickly became the knockout of the night.

Lows
Duane Ludwig suffering a knee injury in his fight with Che Mills to end the fight. It’s no secret that Ludwig likes to stand and trade and Mills seemed like the perfect opponent for that scenario. Mills was actually getting the better of Ludwig but then a crazy thing happened. Ludwig stood up from a takedown, shifted to one side and then collapsed and verbally submitted. Thankfully Mills didn’t throw a big punch to the non-defending Ludwig, but it was not the fight that anyone, including Mills and Ludwig wanted.

Oh-No’s
Kyle Kingsbury suffered multiple fractures above his eyes and nose in his loss to Jimi Manuwa. Manuwa, a former body builder before turning to mixed martial arts, posses serious punching power. And while Kingsbury wanted a third round, it was evident that his eye was swollen shut and it should have been stopped by the doctor. The question now is, will Kingsbury be able to fly home or not due to the facial fractures.

The UFC’s return trip to England was filled with spectacular fights and finishes. Headlining the night of action was a heavyweight showdown between Stefan Struve and Stipe Miocic. The co-main event featured the hometown hero Dan Hardy taking on Amir Sadollah.

When it was all said and done, four fighters earned an extra $40,000 for their efforts inside the cage. Brad Pickett picked up the Knockout of the Night award, Matt Wiman earned the Submission of the Night award, and main event fighters Struve and Miocic earned the coveted Fight of the Night.

UFC 146 took place at the MGM Grand tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada for the first all heavyweight card in UFC history. Junior dos Santos defended his belt for the first time against Frank Mir, when he finished him with strikes three minutes into the second round. Mir didn’t have much for dos Santos offense wise, and seemed defeated when he couldn’t get the fight to the floor.

In the co-main event, it was Cain Velasquez who bloodied up Antonio Silva early in the fight from half guard, and opened up a huge cut over the eye of Silva. Referee Yves Lavigne even stopped the fight at one point to have the doctor check on the cut, but the fight continued. After another minute, LaVigne stepped in to stop the bout, and give Velasquez his first win since losing his belt to Junior dos Santos.

The entire main card was all finishes, and none of the fights entered the third round. The collective time for all the main card fights was 21:50, and it left plenty of time to show some of the under card fights. Below are the full results for UFC 146.
