 UFC
110 preliminary card results: Lytle pulls off big submission, Bonnar
unlucky
By Phil Lanides
The preliminary portion of UFC 110 is in
the books. Here are the results:
 James
Te Huna defeated Igor Pokrajac via TKO (strikes) - Round 3, 3:26:
An exciting back-and-forth bout that saw Te Huna take
the first round, while Pokrajac likely evened things up in the
second round. In the third round, both fighters looked a little
tired, and in the end, Te Huna was able to take advantage. A right
hand sent Pokrajac to the mat, and the Australian native followed up
and finished for the TKO victory.
C.B. Dollaway defeated Goran Reljic via unanimous
decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28): Not the most exciting
fight, but there was a good amount of action in this one. Dollaway
gets the close win, and perhaps gets a spot on the main card for his
next fight.
Chris Lytle defeated Brian Foster via submission
(knee-bar) - Round 1, 1:41: Foster made a cardinal
mistake in this one: don’t get into a slugfest with a former pro
boxer. Both fighters traded big blows to get things started. Lytle
stunned Foster with a left hand, who decided to shoot in. The
Indiana native took advantage and locked in a gruesome kneebar. A
hold rarely seen in MMA, but it was more than enough, and Lytle’s
return to the Octagon is successful.
Krzysztof Soszynski defeated Stephan Bonnar via TKO (cut)
- Round 3, 1:04: After an eye-poke from Bonnar in the
first round, it appeared that he caught an accidental head-butt. It
started a flow of blood from his nose, and though it didn’t come for
the while, the end did come as a result of the cut. Regardless, it
was a very exciting packed with action. By the third round, Bonnar
is bleeding all over the place, and the ref stops the fight and has
the doctor check the cut. Doc recommends the fight is stopped, and
the ref obliges. Bonnar questions if the fight should have been
stopped, as it was a head-butt that precipitated the end.
Definitely some solid action to get the UFC’s debut in Australia
underway. Be sure to check back for the full results later on.
