UFC 120: Carlos Condit KOs Dan Hardy

by Michael David SmithDan Hardy complained heading into his fight with Carlos Condit at UFC 120 that Condit and his trainer, Greg Jackson, are too cautious and try to win dull decisions. He can't say that anymore.

Instead, Condit knocked Hardy out with a brutal left hook in the first round of their bout in London on Saturday.

After the televised card got off to a dull start with three straight decisions, Condit changed everything by standing and trading shots with Hardy. After a couple minutes of action, Condit and Hardy both threw left hooks at each other at the same time, but Condit's landed just in time to send Hardy to the canvas. Condit landed a couple more on the ground to erase any doubt.

Shane Carwin announces fight with Nelson via email to fans

The former UFC heavyweight contender announced his first fight after losing to Brock Lesnar at UFC 116. Shane Carwin sent an email to members of his fan community, announcing that he will fight Roy Nelson on New Year's Day.

I will be fighting Roy Nelson on 1-1-11 in Las Vegas Nevada.  The fight will be the Co-Main Event of the Edgar Maynard rematch.

I think Roy is a tough opponent for anyone. He has been in several main event situations and has fought a lot of veterans in the sport. I am honored to be fighting again and feel like Roy is a worth opponent.

My goal for the fight is to be exciting and go home with the win. I have a lot to prove as does Roy so this should make for a great fight.

Sending an email to fans is completely in line with Carwin's style. From the beginning of his career, he's been incredibly accessible to fans. His Twitter feed is filled with replies to his supporters.

UFC 125 is already shaping up to be an action-packed card. In addition to Carwin/Nelson and Edgar/Maynard, Clay Guida confirmed that he will fight Takanori Gomi.

Coenen takes Strikeforce womens 135-lb. belt, Kaufman's arm

After two lackluster rounds, Sarah Kaufman and Marloes Coenen put together a spectacular finish for the Strikeforce women's championship fight in San Jose on Saturday night. Coenen won the belt with an armbar at 1:59 in the third round.

The women had a cautious first round, spending much of it in the clinch. Twice, they were broken up by the referee. Coenen used her reach advantage to keep Kaufman at a distance. This continued in the second round. Both women threw more knees in the second, but were still broken apart. Kaufmann finished the second round well, reversing a Coenen hip toss, landing on top and throwing vicious ground strikes as the round came to a close.

The third round started almost as exactly as the second ended. Coenen took Kaufman down, but Kaufman reversed her easily. She followed up with huge strikes. It appeared that Kaufman was close to finishing off Coenen until Coenen grabbed an arm and turned it for an armbar. Kaufman tapped quickly, handing over the Strikeforce women's championship to Coenen.

There was a bit of controversy after the fight, as Kaufman claimed that Coenen held onto the armbar after Kaufman had tapped. Coenen apologized profusely, diffusing what could have been a bad situation.

"I really didn't know. The referee came in too late, and I apologize, Sarah," Coenen said about the armbar after the fight.

Miesha Tate is up next for Coenen. After the fight, Coenen had a short, simple message for her next opponent. "Let's get it on."

Title shot hopes for Jon Fitch seem dim

In a video he recently Tweeted, Jon Fitch showed that he is not an adept standup paddleboarder.

Falling off the paddleboard after three seconds is the least of Fitch's problems. That welterweight title shot that he thought he was in line for? It turns out that the winner of Jake Shields vs. Martin Kampmann will likely get the next shot at the winner of Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck.

"If Jake Shields should win against Martin Kampmann, it will probably be him next," [Dana] White said.

That "probably" is a ray of hope for Fitch. Probably means nothing is set in stone. Fitch proposed that he should fight the winner of Shields/Kampmann for the title shot. What would you like to see happen with the UFC welterweight belt?
