By Mike JohnstonWhether fans were watching in 3-D or 2-D, they witnessed a bloody show put on by Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann in the main event of UFC on Versus 3. Sanchez ended up winning a unanimous decision that was met with boos from the stands, as many believed Kampmann should have won. As always, UFC fans across Canada took in the night’s action and were active on Facebook and Twitter voicing their opinions.
“I don’t know what the judges were looking at in the main event,” said David from Montreal. “All you have to do is look at how damaged Diego’s face was and it tells you that Kampmann won the fight.”
In the co-main event, Mark Munoz made quick work of CB Dollaway, winning by knockout at just 54 seconds of the first round. Dollaway controlled the action early, but Munoz landed a right hand and followed up with ground-and-pound. “If you get caught with a Munoz right hand you’re going to sleep. I thought this fight was going to last a lot longer than it did,” said Bill from Toronto.
Also on the main card, history repeated itself as Brian Bowles submitted Damacio Page with a first round guillotine choke. “Wow! Bowles looks like a 12-year-old boy with a tattoo, but he is one great fighter. Glad to see him back from injury,” said Alex from Mississauga. And, Chris Weidman won another bloody affair in his UFC debut as he defeated Alessio Sakara by unanimous decision.
Fans watching on Facebook saw WEC vet Danny Castillo win a unanimous decision over Joe Stevenson in a lightweight bout. Cyrille Diabate won a one-sided decision over Steve Cantwell in light heavyweight action.
In preliminary action, Igor Pokrajac defeated Todd Brown by TKO at the end of the first round in their light heavyweight fight when he landed a knee in the clinch. “There’s no way anyone can take a knee to the head like that and keep going. Big time knockout. I’m so glad I’m not a fighter lol,” tweeted Erin from Alberta.
Also, Rousimar Palhares pulled off one of his patented leg locks as he submitted Dave Branch with a second round kneebar. Shane Roller came from behind to knockout Thiago Tavares in the second round of their lightweight bout. The win was Roller’s first in the UFC after coming over from the WEC.For more info visit ufc.com and follow @MikeyJ_MMA on Twitter.
