UFC 121 takes place in Anaheim, featuring a UFC heavyweight title match between Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar. Check back for results through the night.
Jon Madsen vs. Gilbert Yvel
Yvel has a reputation for being the dirtiest fighter in the sport, although he has behaved in recent years. Madsen is undefeated in UFC competition (aside from the Ultimate Fighter), but has had a series of dull performances.
Round 1. Madsen and Yvel feel each other out standing up briefly. Madsen gets a takedown and stuns Yvel with ground and pound. He continues with punches and referee John McCarthy stops the contest.
Winner: Jon Madsen, TKO, round 1.
Dongi Yang vs. Chris Camozzi
Camozzi is a lightly regarded former competitor on the Ultimate Fighter. Yang is an undefeated South Korean prospect making his UFC debut. Yang comes out to what appears to be a Mexican techno song.
Round 1. Yang lands a pair of nice straight lefts and follows with a leg kick. Yang lands another nice leg kick, blocks Camozzi's kick attempt and takes Camozzi down. Yang throws down some hard punches and swiftly ducks out of a heel hook attempt. Yang passes guard but Camozzi reverses and takes top position. Yang quickly stands up but Camozzi catches him with a knee to the body on the way up. Yang throws a few punches but Camozzi answers with a couple knees. Camozzi lands a couple kicks but gets caught with a stiff one two punch combination from Yang. Camozzi stuns Yang with a counter as Yang moves in. Good, competitive round. 10-9 Yang.
