Sadollah takes out Johnson at UFN 24

Amir Sadollah won the battle of two "The Ultimate Fighter" stars on Saturday night at Ultimate Fight Night 24. Sadollah forced DaMarques Johnson to submit due to strikes in the second round of their bout.

The fight started with an eventful first round. Johnson took advantage of an early slip by Sadollah to get in side control, but couldn't do much with it. Moments later, Johnson caught a kick to get another takedown. That time, he was able to land elbows while on the ground before Sadollah returned to his feet. Johnson threw Sadollah for another takedown before Sadollah reversed, and landed some serious strikes before the round ended.

In the second, the two had a furious exchange early, both landing strikes and coming out with bloody faces. But Sadollah took the upper hand halfway through the round. He got full mount and rained down blows onto Johnson's head. At first, Johnson was able to roll away, but Sadollah stayed close. He regained mount, took control of Johnson's hand and then blasted Johnson with elbows until the bout was stopped at 3:27.

"I am ecstatic with my performance," Sadollah said after the fight. "I'm here not just to look good. I want to be the best and fight the best."

Johnson took this fight on short notice after Duane Ludwig and James Wilks both pulled out because of injury. His record falls to 12-9. Sadollah, who has fought every one of his pro bouts in the UFC, is now 5-2.

Overnight MMA hijinx: Lesnar chokes Fallon, Guida funnels beer

Brock Lesnar got a pop on Jimmy Fallon's show last night to promote Season 13 of The Ultimate Fighter. Fallon closed by having Brock "show him a move." The former UFC champ demonstrated a version of the rear-naked.

Next time a TV host or reporter asks to be manhandled someone needs to lock on that twister "The Korean Zombie" used on Saturday during his win over Leonard Garcia.

In other overnight news, UFC fighters drink beer and sometimes lots of it. Apparently, Clay Guida funneling some brew at Lake Havasu during an unnamed time recently is news, so TMZ posted this photo. Since the site is also following the awesome "Teen Mom" brawl from last week, we'll oblige.

Going to work, MMA fighter gunned down at U.S.-Mexico border

It can happen anytime to anyone. Safety issues in Mexico reached the border between Tijuana and San Ysidro, Calif., as MMA fighter Sergio Salcido Luna and another man were gunned down in their car while waiting in line to cross into the U.S. early�Monday morning.

Salcido, 25, and Kevin Joel Romero, 28, were American citizens who worked at West Coast Beverage Maintenance, a San Diego-based company that services draft beer equipment. They were shot dead in a company truck at 2:40 a.m. PT by an assailant using a 9 MM weapon. The men, both U.S. citizens who lived in Playas de Tijuana, were shot in the head, chest and arms.

Salcido was an MMA welterweight who was 4-5 in his young career. His recent losses included former "The Ultimate Fighter 12" contestant Sako Chivitchian.

The San Diego Union-Tribune called the border shooting "rare."

Shootings in the border crossing lanes are extremely rare. In January 2002, a Mexican soldier sprayed bullets into cars waiting in line on the Mexican side of the Otay Mesa border crossing, wounding three people. In April 1995, a stray bullet from a police shootout hit an innocent Mexican motorist in the head as he was waiting in line to cross into the United States, killing him instantly.

Initial reports said the murders may have been drug related.� Attorney General Rommel Moreno Manjarrez told reporters one of the victims had a "small packet of drugs among his belongings."

"They were good guys," [Matt] Pelot [the victims' employer] said. "I don't think they were dealing drugs, selling drugs or anything to do with drugs. They were both very hardworking individuals. They had a zest for life."

After testing the substance in the bag and saying it was not marijuana, the authorities have since ruled out that murder was a result of drug-related violence.

"There is another line of investigation that is very strong," said Jorge Alberto Aguirre Carbajal, coordinator for the homicide unit of the Baja California Attorney General's Office in Tijuana.

Aguirre said that he could not discuss specifics because of the ongoing investigation. He also said authorities have been interviewing family members and friends of the two victims.

The timing of this tragedy is also significant with an MMA event, Strikeforce, in nearby San Diego on Saturday. Any fans from out of town who were thinking of a quick trip to Tijuana may be dissuaded.

Agitated Greg Jackson growing tired of the bashing in Evans-Jones beef

Rashad Evans is going to work in Florida and Jon Jones will be in Albuquerque. It's pretty much set in stone when, the light heavyweight teammates from Jackson's Submission Fighting, prep to meet some time later this year.

Jackson joined ProMMARadio to bring some clarity in the beef� between the two fighters. Larry Pepe did a nice job of pushing the envelope in what clearly is a very sensitive situation for Jackson. The renowned trainer is generally cool as a cucumber, but got a little testy (3:00 mark).

"To be clear, I don't know how many more times I'm going to say it," Jackson told the dogged Pepe. "If Rashad Evans said to me ' Greg, absolutely I do not want Jon Jones on the team. No way.' Where in any of my 16-year history would I have been like 'the heck with that, I'm just going to bring him on the team anyway?' There's nothing about me that says that. I've never done that before. I've never done that since."

Jackson said repeatedly that Evans didn't make it clear from the beginning that he had a problem with Jones joining the team. He also told Ben Fowlkes that he did not agree with Jones' decision to take the fight against Evans.

As a result of all the drama, neither fighter will have the benefit of using Jackson's expertise for the fight. Jackson told Pepe he will not train Jones. That role will taken over by Mike Winkeljohn. Jackson won't corner either fighter on fight night.

If Evans ever chooses to return to Albuquerque to work with Jackson, the trainer said he has no bad feelings and he'd welcome him back with open arms.

Chan Sung Jung Submits Leonard Garcia With a Twister

by Michael David Smith
In a rematch of one of the wildest, craziest slugfests in mixed martial arts history, Chan Sung Jung forced Leonard Garcia to tap out with just one second remaining in the second round of their fight Saturday at UFC Fight Night 24.

Although this fight wasn't quite the memorable battle that their first fight was, it was entertaining. And the result was more satisfying: In their last bout, Garcia won a highly questionable split decision. But this time around Jung took it out of the judges' hands, using a nifty twister submission on Garcia to secure the submission victory.

It was the first twister submission in UFC history.

Streak of bad luck hits American Kickboxing Academy fighters

Someone must have broken a mirror while under a ladder as a black cat crossed their path at American Kickboxing Academy, the gym that trains Cain Velasquez, Josh Koscheck, Mike Swick, Josh Thomson and a slew of elite fighters. Two of their fighters had to withdraw from fights this week.

First, Jon Fitch pulled out of his planned rematch with B.J. Penn. The two were slated to fight at UFC 132 after they fought to a draw at UFC 127. No replacement has been named, but Penn is still expected to fight on the card.

Then, Mike Kyle was forced out of next week's Strikeforce bout with Gegard Mousasi with a broken hand. Strikeforce is looking for a replacement.

This is after Velasquez hurt his shoulder in training for a bout with Junior dos Santos, Koscheck broke an orbital bone against Georges St. Pierre, and Swick went through a laundry list of ailments that have kept him from fighting.

Since it's opening day for baseball, AKA fighters may want to think about pulling some ideas from "Major League" and "Bull Durham" to remove whatever curse that has befallen them. Sacrificing a live chicken might be a bit much -- especially for animal rights crusader Thomson -- but a bucket of KFC and chicken bones on their cage just may do the trick.

‘Korean Zombie’ uses twister submission to beat Garcia at UFN 24

It wasn't the slugfest the first fight produced, but Chan Sung Jung more than made up for the lack of big strikes by beating Leonard Garcia with a unique submission. "The Korean Zombie" showed he can fight smart as well by landing a twister to finish Garcia with just one second left in the second round in the first televised bout at Ultimate Fight Night 24 on Spike.

"I've been watching Eddie Bravo videos on YouTube for a long time," Jung said through a translator. "I kept saying during practice at Korean Top Team that I'm going to do the twister in the UFC some day. Hopefully, I'll get the Submission of the Night."

Jung (11-3, 1-0 UFC) had Garcia's back late in the second when he decided to focus on one leg. He also got a hold of Garcia's head and cranked it back. The twister puts tremendous pressure on the spine. Garcia couldn't hold out, tapped and the fight was stopped by referee Dan Miragliotta at 4:59 of the second.

Garcia (15-7, 2-3 UFC) was headed down the wrong path from the opening seconds. He's built his reputation in the UFC and WEC by going for the broke. His striking is often reckless, but he does damage and scores with judges. He won the first throwdown with the Zombie at WEC 48, in a fight many thought Jung took by decision. Garcia repeated the feat his last time out against Nam Phan.

Garcia chose to go with a more controlled style and looked to counterstrike. He never got Jung's timing down. Garcia was the victim of a takedown in the first and ate some big shots on the ground.

In the second, he landed virtually nothing and went down again when the fighters connected on kicks at the same time. Jung jumped into top control with 1:11 left in the round. Jung softened him up with some big elbows. He threw Garcia's legs to the side and took his back with 33 seconds left.

Before this fight, Jung worked with Urijah Faber's camp, Team Alpha Male. He fought with a nice gameplan, beating Garcia in eveyr phase of the game.

Video analysis: Let’s all pump the brakes on Jon Jones

The hype train is rolling down the tracks for Jon Jones after he ransacked Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Don't dare step in front of it. If you suggest someone can give him a fight, you may get screamed at.

Jones is ultra-impressive, but he has a long way to go before he can be given an "era" or called an all-time great. Even Dana White cautioned fans to slow it down a bit.

"After what I saw tonight, it looks like he's like a mile ahead of everybody," White said, "But who knows, man. You never know in this sport."

White has seen young guys struggle in dealing with all the new responsibilities of being a superstar.

"His life is going to change in so many ways starting right now it's actually scary. When you get to this point, I worry about guys," White said.

"He's going to have to make a lot of choices over the next couple of years ? personally, professionally. He's in for a very wild, weird crazy ride right now. And he seems like a guy who's grounded enough and has the right people around him to handle it and go the right direction, but you never know."

Yahoo!'s lead MMA writer Kevin Iole joined us to discuss "Bones" and what he'll be dealing with in and out of the cage.

Strikeforce Challengers Preview and Predictions

by Michael David SmithThe first Strikeforce event since the UFC bought the promotion takes place Friday night in Stockton, with a Challengers event that we've been told over and over again will be "business as usual" -- with the exception of elbows to the head on the ground being allowed.

Where it won't be business as usual, however, is that the guys in the Challengers shows now have more on the line than they did before: Impressive wins will likely result in Challengers fighters eventually moving on to the UFC. But with the UFC/Strikeforce merger concentrating almost all the major league MMA in one place, those who fail to impress on the Challengers show are going to have an awfully hard time making it as a professional fighter.

What: Strikeforce Challengers 15: Wilcox vs. Damm

Where: Stockton Arena, Stockton, California

When: Friday, the Showtime televised card begins at 11 PM ET

Predictions on the five televised fights below.

Keith Jardine vs. Gegard Mousasi Set for Strikeforce April 9

by Michael David SmithKeith Jardine is returning to the big leagues of mixed martial arts, taking a tough fight on short notice against Gegard Mousasi on the April 9 Strikeforce event.

Jardine, who was once among the UFC's light heavyweight rising stars, was cut by that promotion last year when he lost his fourth straight fight. He then signed with Shark Fights and lost a fifth consecutive fight, and it appeared that his career had been derailed.

But Jardine stayed active and has won two straight fights on small-time MMA shows, and now he's jumping at a major opportunity to fight Mousasi.
