Brian Ebersole vs. Dennis Hallman

Round 1 – Dennis Hallman is wearing the worst shorts ever. He is literally wearing manties. Why? Why? Ebersole has his chest hair shaven into an arrow pointing at his chin and Hallman is wearing the same type of manties Bruce Lee wore in Enter the Dragon. Hallman looks like he’s about to dance at Chip N’ Dales. Ridiculous really. He literally has one sponsor on the front of his manties and if your read it, you’ll be guilty of staring at Superman’s penis. It says “training mask” over Hallman’s penis. Hallman attacks, Ebersole is busy thinking about those manites and Hallman has his back with a body triangle locked on. Ebersole has nine losses via submission, so this is bad. Hallman may be one of the top three submission fighters in pro MMA. But those manties have to go my man. Hallman with both hooks in, puts some heels in Ebersole’s thighs.

NOTES: Charles Barkley is in the audience. And I have to say I feel just a little vindicated by Ebersole beating up a man in manties.

Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Vitor Belfort

Round 1 – Akiyama may have the best walkout music, next to Fedor. Love that Fedor music. — “Sexyama!”…. says Buffer. “The Phenom!” Akiyama sticks out his tongue. Former UFC champs have a certain aura. Head kick from Belfort, Akiyama blocks, but it knocks him back. High kick blocked by Vitor. Vitor hurts Akiyama and he is face down and out cold. It happened quickly. Akiyama finally sits up and opens his eyes. “I’m back!” yells Vitor. Vitor landed a left, then jumped on him with several left hooks. Very academic win. Looked like he’s in the best shape of his career.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Vitor Belfort def. Yoshihiro Akiyama by knockout Rd 1 (1:52)

NOTES: Vitor was very pumped up for the win. Mickey Rourke and Bernard Hopkins are in the house. Be sure to check out the Bernard Hopkins/Rashad Evans video we put up yesterday. The champ is teaching Rashad some finer points of the boxing game just days before this fight. Let’s see if he puts those pointers to use here. It mostly had to do with defense and how to tuck your chin. BHOP said he used to train with a tennis ball under his chin, holding it there between his chin and neck; this was to teach him how to keep his chin tucked. — Tito has a man yelling in his ear all the way to the cage, likely saying things like, “You are the baddest mofo on the planet… he continues this for the whole walk out, carrying his flag. Tito could win this fight folks… and it could be the fighter story of the year if he does. He’s kind of the last of the old school, the prodigal son grown up. Tito comes out to Eminem… both are hype, Tito looking like an MMA version of Eminem. — Rashad’s turn —-Walks out to some rap. Dances when he gets up to the cage. Biggie Smalls playing. He crawls into the cage and dances as Tito paces…

NOTES: Rashad said after the fight whether it was Jones or Rampage he was getting his belt back. Tito said he took the fight on short notice and gave it his best. He said he gave it is all, but he’s obviously disappointed. He apologizes to his fans. “Suga” Rashad looks good at his new camp.
