UFC 109: Relentless –
Las Vegas, Nev. – Mandalay Bay Events Center – Feb. 6, 2010
Randy Couture waited 12 years to fight Mark Coleman in the
Octagon, and Couture came out on top at UFC 109.
The two Hall of Famers were originally set to fight at UFC
17 in 1998, but the fight was scrapped due to an injury. A dozen years later, Couture
won by technical submission in Round 2 with a rear-naked choke.
Paulo Thiago scored a technical submission over Mike Swick
with a D’Arce choke in Round 2.
Demian Maia won a unanimous decision over Dan Miller to earn
a shot at Anderson Silva’s UFC middleweight championship.
Chael Sonnen also earned a shot at Anderson Silva later in
the year by scoring unanimous decision over Nate Marquardt.
In the PPV opener, Matt “The Terror” Serra knocked out Frank
Trigg at 2:23 for his first UFC win in three years.
All of the Spike TV preliminary bouts ended in unanimous
decisions. At light heavyweight, UFC newcomer Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis
defeated Brian Stann.
In lightweight bouts, TUF 6 winner Mac Danzig beat Justin
Buchholz; “The Young Assassin” Melvin Guillard defeated Ronys Torres; and Rob
Emerson won his bout with Phillipe Nover.
In the early prelims, Chris Tuchscherer won a heavyweight battle
with Tim Hague by majority decision. Joey Beltran defeated Rolles Gracie Jr. by
TKO in Round 2.
