Ufc 106 Results

Ufc 106 Results: latest news about, The Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin main event just ended and we have the complete UFC 106 results ready to go.

Everyone saw the controversial decision in the first Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin fight and the judges’ decision in the second is equally head-scratching according to these UFC 106 results.  Forrest Griffin took the decision 30-27, 29-28, and 28-29 although most thought he lost the first two rounds before coming back and dominating in the 3rd when Tito looked gassed.

Anthony “Rumble” Johnson swung hard against Josh “Kos” Koscheck but the knockout artist could not overcome Koscheck’s wrestling (and eye pokes) as “Rumble” was choked out in the 2nd via rear naked choke.  The UFC 106 results show both fighters connected with hard punches but Johnson could never stop the 2nd round takedown attempts.

Other UFC 106 results show that it did not take Antonio Rogerio Nogueira “Minotauro” Nogueira very long at all to dispatch top light heavyweight title contender Luis “Banha” Cane and the brother of the former interim heavyweight champion knocked out Cane in the 1st round.

Amir Sadollah battered Phil “The New York Bad Ass” for 3 rounds and easily won the decision.  These UFC 106 results were not unexpected after Sadollah used a steady stream of kicks and defense to tire out the hard-hitting Baroni.

The last UFC 106 results of the main card had Paulo Thiago getting a well deserved decision victory against UFC-newcomer Jacob “Christmas” Volkmann.  Thiago knocked down Volkmann a few times but “Christmas” never quit and had a decent chance to tap Paulo with a choke before the Brazilian pulled out to seal the victory.

The Spike TV UFC 106 results had Kendall “Da Spyder” Grove choking out wrestler Jake Rosholt by triangle in the 1st round and Ben “Killa B” Saunders giving the first career knockout to Marcus “The Irish Hand Grenade” Davis following some killer Saunders’ knees.

The co-main event, a welterweight clash pitting San Jose fighters Anthony Johnson and Josh Koscheck, will put the winner in prime position for a title shot at champion Georges St-Pierre.

Koscheck initially got the better of stand-up striking exchanges before Johnson popped in two jabs. Johnson slipped a clench, but then committed a rule-breaking violation by sending a right knee toward Koscheck’s head.

Kneeing on the mat, Koscheck appeared to have got his arm up in time to deflect the blow toward his right eye. Referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the action and deducted a point from Johnson for the illegal knee. A ringside doctor was summoned and reported to the ref that Koscheck had “blurry vision as a result of the foul.”

Still, the fight resumed and Koscheck turned to wrestling. Johnson was seen with a small cut over the left eye.

In the second round, Johnson was poked in the left eye twice in the first minutes. Both fighters had a lively exchange of blows in the center of the octagon. Koscheck got Johnson on his back and sent a few damaging elbows to the 25-year-old’s head.

U.S. Afghan President Will Support the Following: Clinton

WASHINGTON : The United States will support the next Afghan president and recognizes opposition challenger Abdullah Abdullah’s decision to withdraw from a runoff, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday.

“I recognize the decision by Dr Abdullah Abdullah not to participate in the second round of balloting in the Afghan presidential elections,” Clinton said in a statement.

“It is now a matter for the Afghan authorities to decide on a way ahead that brings this electoral process to a conclusion in line with the Afghan constitution,” she said.

“We will support the next president and the people of Afghanistan, who seek and deserve a better future.”

Abdullah withdrew after President Hamid Karzai snubbed a series of demands promoted as a bid to avoid a repeat of massive first-round fraud, with the challenger saying he saw no point in standing in the second round.

Clinton said Abdullah “ran a dignified and constructive campaign that drew the support of Afghan people across the nation.

“We hope that he will continue to stay engaged in the national dialogue, and work on behalf of the security and prosperity of the people of Afghanistan,” she said.

Rio De Janeiro Olympics 2016 Vote

COPENHAGEN — Like sweet, sultry samba music, Rio hit all the right notes. Chicago had Barack Obama. Tokyo had $4 billion in the bank. Madrid had powerful friends. But none of that mattered. Rio de Janeiro had the enchanting story – of about 400 million sports-mad people on a giant untapped and vibrant continent yearning, hoping, that the Olympics finally might come to them. And the International Olympic Committee was hooked.
Olympians, we’ll see you on Copacabana beach in 2016. Let Carnival begin.

On a chilly Danish evening of high drama, the IOC on Friday sent the games of the 31st Olympiad to Brazil’s bustling, fun-loving but crime-ridden city of beaches and mountains, romance and slums.

The IOC closed its eyes to the risks – the huge projected costs of the Rio Games, the concerns about how athletes will get around and where people will sleep – to focus on the reward of lighting the Olympic cauldron in one of the last corners of the globe yet to be bathed by its light.

“It is Brazil’s time,” said the country’s charismatic president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Chicago was knocked out in the first round – in one of the most shocking defeats ever handed down by the committee of former Olympians, sports administrators, royals and other VIPs.

While blues legend Buddy Guy twanged “Sweet Home Chicago” in a promotional video the city played to the IOC, bad blood between the committee and its U.S. branch – they’ve had flare-ups over revenue sharing and lucrative broadcasting rights – proved to be a note of discord. IOC members said the slap to Chicago was more directed at the U.S. Olympic Committee than to the Windy City itself.

The win was decisive: Rio beat Madrid by 66 votes to 32.

Chicago got just 18 votes in the first round, with Tokyo squeezing into the second round with 22. Madrid was leading after the first round with 28 votes, while Rio had 26.

In the second round, Tokyo was eliminated with just 20 votes. Madrid got 29, qualifying it for the final round face-off with Rio, which by then already had a strong lead with 46 votes.

The indignity suffered by Chicago – long considered a front-runner – was such that some IOC members squirmed. Obama flew overnight from Washington to sell his adoptive hometown and its plans for Olympic competition on Lake Michigan’s windy shores to the IOC. First lady Michelle Obama, with talk show host Oprah Winfrey and sports stars in tow, jetted in first and spent two days buttering up IOC members, an essential part of the secretive and unpredictable selection process.

IOC members seemed wowed, posing for photos with her and taking souvenir shots of the president with their cell phones. But, in the vote, Chicago was shunned.

Obama called Silva to congratulate him, but the nature of the loss still rang as a stinging anti-American rebuke. Close to half of the IOC’s 106 members are Europeans.

“To have the president of the United States and his wife personally appear, then this should happen in the first round is awful and totally undeserving,” senior Australian IOC member Kevan Gosper said.

French IOC member Guy Drut said “an excess of security” for the Obamas unsettled some of his colleagues. He complained that he’d been barred from crossing the lobby of his hotel for security reasons, and he grumbled that “nothing has been done” to resolve the financial disputes between the IOC and the USOC.

Of Obama’s performance, Drut said: “He didn’t do too much. Michelle Obama was exceptional.”

“This morning the city was closed because of Barack Obama,” he added.

In Chicago, there was bewildered silence when IOC president Jacques Rogge announced: “The city of Chicago, having obtained the least number of votes, will not participate in the next round.”

On Rio’s Copacabana beach, where nearly 50,000 people roared when the winning city was announced, the party headed into the night.

Rio spoke to IOC members’ consciences: the city argued that it was simply unfair that South America has never hosted the games, while Europe, Asia and North America have done so repeatedly.

“It is a time to address this imbalance,” Silva told the IOC before it delivered its verdict. “It is time to light the Olympic cauldron in a tropical country.”

Madrid’s surprising success in reaching the final round came after former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch made a morbid appeal for the Spanish capital, reminding IOC members as he asked for their vote that, at age 89, “I am very near the end of my time.”

Samaranch ran the IOC for 21 years before Rogge took over in 2001.

Beating three rich, more developed nations that had all previously held the games represented a giant, morale-boosting coup for Brazil. The emerging nation is bounding up the ranks of the world’s biggest economies but still has millions of people living in poverty.

Like a football team before a big final, Rio’s bid leaders and Silva held hands in silent prayer before walking out to deliver a flawless and impassioned presentation. A bid official said Silva’s last words of encouragement were “let’s stay calm, and stick with our plan.”

Brazil’s central bank governor reeled off impressive statistics about an economy predicted to be the world’s fifth-largest by 2016. The state governor pledged that taxes would not be raised for the games and played down safety concerns. Computer-generated bird’s-eye images of how venues will spread across the city, with sailing in the shadow of Sugar Loaf mountain and volleyball on Copacabana, provided the wow factor.

Then Silva delivered the knockout.

“Among the top 10 economies of the world, Brazil is the only country that has not hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” he said. “For the Olympic movement, it will be an opportunity to feel the warmth of our people, the exuberance of our culture, the sun of our joy and it will also be a chance to send a powerful message to the whole world: The Olympic Games belong to all peoples, to all continents and to all humanity.”

Silva, a bearded former union leader, disappeared into a huge group hug with the joyous Rio team after Rogge announced that the city had won. Football great Pele had tears in his eyes. Brazil will now hold the world’s two biggest sporting events in the space of just two years: in 2014, it is hosting the World Cup.

“There was absolutely no flaw in the bid,” Rogge said.

Now, Africa and Antarctica are the only continents never to have been awarded an Olympics.

“We have sent out a message that we want to go global,” IOC member Gerhard Heiberg said.

Obama held out the enticing prospect of a Chicago games helping to reconnect the United States with the world after the presidency of George W. Bush. He told the IOC that the “full force of the White House” would be applied so “visitors from all around the world feel welcome and will come away with a sense of the incredible diversity of the American people.”

An uncomfortable moment came during Chicago’s presentation when an IOC member from Pakistan, Syed Shahid Ali, noted that going through U.S. customs can be harrowing for foreigners. Obama responded that he wanted a Chicago games to offer “a reminder that America at its best is open to the world.”

But the IOC’s last two experiences in the United States were bad: the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics were sullied by a bribery scandal and logistical problems and a bombing hit the 1996 Games in Atlanta.

Former IOC member Kai Holm said the brevity of Obama’s appearance – he was in and out in five hours – may have hurt Chicago.

“Too businesslike,” Holm said. “It can be that some IOC members see it as a lack of respect.”

IOC members said Asian voters may have banded together, at Chicago’s expense, in the first round in favor of Tokyo, which offered reassurances of financial security, with $4 billion already banked for the games.

“The whole thing doesn’t make sense other than there has been a stupid bloc vote,” Gosper said. The last U.S. city to bid for the Summer Games, New York, did scarcely better. It was ousted in the second round in the 2005 vote that gave the 2012 Games to London.
