TSN Producer Andrew Nichols is in Montreal at the sold out UFC 83: SERRA vs. ST-PIERRE 2, where Quebec’s own Georges ‘Rush’ St-Pierre attempts to become the undisputed champion in a rematch with reigning titleholder Matt ‘The Terror’ Serra. Follow Nichols’ Blog as he reports from the Bell Centre.
8:00pm ET - Well, after some technical difficulties, I think we’re up and running for the rest of the night. The pre-show card started about 30 minutes early. Jonathan Goulet defeat Kuniyoshi Hironaka by TKO in the 2nd round. The Bell Centre is only 30 percent full, but the house is rocking. The crowd is thoroughly behind the Canadian fighters. More to come.
8:07pm ET - In the 2nd fight of the night, Cain Velasquez defeated Brad Morris. Morris was dominated throughout the fight, and was caught a hook he could not recover from. Canadian Sam Stout is on his way to the ring. The crowd is lit up. Stout will give GSP a run for loudest reaction of the night.
8:31pm ET - Stout vs Rich Clementi (Lightweights): Sam Stout lost a split decision to Rich Clementi. We’ve had to sort out some technical issues on site, but it appears we’ll be full steam ahead for the rest of the card.
8:44pm ET - Demian Maia vs Ed Herman, 3 Rounds (Middleweights) - 1st Round: Herman’s tights have a large sponsorship for Condomdepot.com… his nickname is "Short Fuse"… only in the MMA. The first round was slow paced, with a lot of ground and pound exchanges.
8:48pm ET - Demian Maia vs Ed Herman - 2nd Round: Herman has the advantage through most of the round. Out of nowhere, Maia slips Herman into a triangle submission hold. Maia has his man fall asleep in the hold and pounds away until the referee stops the fight. Winner at 2:27 of the 2nd round: Maia.
