PostHeaderIcon Gegard Mousasi wins at Strikeforce/ Gokor in corner.

Gegard Mousasi has stated he is now taking his training more seriously and one of the first things he did was return to Gokor's Hayastan MMA Academy and asked Gokor to help. Gokor Cornered Mousasi on his recent Strikeforce fight and with this win Mousasi will be moving to UFC and a potential Title run. Below is an excerpt from MMAJunkie.com about the fight. 
 
OKLAHOMA CITY – Fighting for the first time in 13 months, former Strikeforce light heavyweight champ Gegard Mousasi was dominant in a first-round finish of Mike Kyle.

The light heavyweight bout was part of the main card of the "Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine" event at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City – the promotion's final show. It aired on Showtime following prelims on Showtime Extreme.

Kyle, a former heavyweight, pressed forward with powerful punches to start the fight, but Mousasi managed the distance well as he slipped the strikes and countered with low kicks and straight punches. Kyle quickly settled into a more manageable pace, and Mousasi moved into the clinch and earned a takedown, settling into his opponent's guard.

Kyle shifted his hips and looked for an opportunity to crawl back to his feet, but Mousasi transitioned to mount and delivered several powerful punches. Kyle rolled to avoid damage, and Mousasi locked in the rear-naked choke with little hesitation. Kyle quickly tapped, although referee Don Turnage didn't seem to acknowledge the effort. Kyle gave it a second series of taps, and the fight was waved off with 51 seconds left in the opening round.

Following the win, Mousasi credited an increased focus on his training efforts for the impressive win, which saw him outstrike Kyle 39-13, including 34 shots landed on the floor.

"I got more professional, I think," Mousasi said. "I got out of my comfort zone, I think, and stepped up my training."

Mousasi (33-3-2 MMA, 4-1-1 SF) is now 5-0-1 in his past six fights and could be in line for a big name in his UFC debut. Kyle (19-9-1 MMA, 3-4-1 SF) falls to 1-2 in his past three official appearances.

PostHeaderIcon UFC on FOX 4 results: Manny Gamburyan defeats Michihiro Omigawa

Monday, 13 August 2012 13:26 | Author: Steven Marrocco - MMAJunkie.com | PDF Print E-mail

 



After a back-and-forth fight between the former judokas, Gamburyan took home a unanimous decision in the second preliminary-card fight of "UFC on FOX: Shogun vs. Vera."

UFC on FOX took place Saturday at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Gamburyan vs. Omigawa aired live on FUEL TV in advance of main-card fights on FOX.

Gamburyan stalked in with hands low as Omigawa bounced and kicked the legs to start off the action. Gamburyan broke a staring match with a flying knee. But a straight left from Omigawa dropped him just moments later. Omigawa did not choose to keep the pressure on and instead continued to snipe as Gamburyan pressed in yet again. Omigawa, who switched stances several times, had difficulty replicating the success of his first straight left, and Gamburyan scored with several stiff punches. His subsequent attempt to take the fight down was unsuccessful, but with Gamburyan's late-round surge, the first round was close.

An aggressive Omigawa pressed with left hands right off the bat to start the second, which prompted a short firefight as Gamburyan attempted to counter. Taking advantage of a lull in action, Gamburyan pressed for a takedown and was briefly caught in a modified choke. After an extended struggle, he managed to get the fight down, but Omigawa popped right back up.
