UFC 107 RESULTS:
-
Kenny Florian (14-4) took his first step back up the ladder, forcing
Clay Guida (25-8) to tap out to a rear naked choke at 2:19 of the second round of their lightweight showdown.
Florian opened a deep cut over Guida’s left eye that threatened to end the match in the first round. It didn’t last much longer, though, as midway through the second round, Florian caught Guida with a right hand that knocked Guida off both feet and face down on the mat. Florian pounced, locking in a choke and getting the submission.
“Tonight was my night,” said Florian, who lost a championship match versus Penn in August.
“I want another shot at the title.”
-
Stefan Struve (23-3) opened the PPV broadcast with a unanimous decision over former title challenger
Paul Buentello (25-11). Two judges scored the heavyweight match 29-28, while the third had it 28-28.
Struve used every inch of his 6-foot-11 frame to nearly submit Buentello in the first round. The second round featured several slugfests that had the Memphis crowd roaring (and left one of Struve’s teeth implanted in his mouthguard, resulting in a brief delay before the third round). Both men looked tired in the third round, with Struve controlling the stand-up game with repeated leg kicks.
