Strikeforce on NBC 12/28 Show Re-Cap

Strikeforce 12/28 Show Re-Cap

This one had been sitting on TV for a while.

Welterweight Fight- Brandon Thatch (3-0) vs. Brandon Magana (5-1) Playboy Mansion II- 9/20/08

This fight has 3 3-minute rounds.

R1- Magana controlled with a takedown and keep the fight on the ground but didn't do much damage.

R2- Magana got another take down and controlled the round. Thatch landed more strikes in the round but Magana got another take down at the end of the round.

R3- Magana with another take down, got a full mount and took Thatch's back but didn't get anything from either position. Magana ended the fight with another take down.

This was an example of Magana winning the fight due to being a superior wrestler. Very reminiscent of some of Josh Koscheck's fights from the Ultimate Fighter 1 show before Koscheck advanced his game.

Winner: Brandon Magana by Decision (Split)

Luke Stewart (5-1) vs. Jesse Juarez (6-4)- Playboy Mansion II- 9/20/08

This is a standard 3 5-minute round fight.

R1- Pretty even round to start with. Stewart started to control the fight once he got it to the ground and ended up submitting Juarez at the end of the first round.

Winner: Luke Stewart by Submission (Arm Bar) R1 4:55
