UFC 95 - Diego Sanchez Proves Best

UFC 95 is in the books! But before BetUS online sportsbook fight fans can turn their attention to UFC 96, where Quinton “Rampage” Jackson figures to solidify himself as one of the best in UFC again, we need to wrap up UFC 95.

Let’s take a look at the results.

UFC 95: Results

Per Eklund -170 vs. Evan Dunham +140 - - Dunham, as a nice long shot at +140, ended up taking down Eklund by technical knock-out in the 1st round. Dunham could use this victory as a springboard to bigger fights but getting +140 on him again might not be possible.

Paul Kelly -350 vs. Troy Mandaloniz +250 – As a -350 favorite, Kelly didn’t exactly dominate Mandaloniz but a unanimous decision at the end of round three was good enough for both the victory and a win for his backers.

Mike Ciesnolevicz -120 vs. Neil Grove -110 - - Neil Grove looked to be one of the better wagers on the card since he had the London crowd behind him, but Ciesnolevicz forced Grove into a submission in the 1st round and won as a slight -120 favorite.

Terry Etim -260 vs. Brian Cobb +200 - - Etim dominated “The Bandit” as a huge -260 favorite by knocking Cobb out in the 10th second of the second round.

Junior Dos Santos -350 vs. Stefan Struve +250 - - Struve had no chance against the heavily favored Dos Santos falling to Junior by a technical knock-out before the end of the 1st round.

Paulo Thiago +350 vs. Josh Koscheck -500 - - In what will definitely be a fight that betting fans will talk about for a long time, underdog Paulo Thiago was awarded a victory by knock-out in 3:29 of the 1st round. Let the conspiracy theorists raise their heads because by the looks of many fight fans, including this one, the fight was stopped way before it should have been. Koscheck could have come back.

Wilson Gouveia +220 vs. Nate Marquardt -300 - - Marquardt took his time but eventually he scored a technical knock-out over Wilson Guoveia in the third round. That makes Marquardt yet another favorite that brought it home on Saturday night.

Rory Markham -120 vs. Dan Hardy -110 - - Hardy was the slight underdog but he didn’t disappoint his backers or the fans in London. He knocked Markham out in the first round and the party began shortly after in Great Britain.

Demian Maia -300 vs. Chael Sonnen +220 - - This was supposed to be a tougher fight for Maia, but Sonnen got himself into a bad position early and Maia ended the fight in the 1st round with a beautifully executed throw which he then transitioned into a triangle choke.

Diego Sanchez -350 vs. Joe Stevenson +250 - - Don’t let the fact that this fight went the distance fool you. Sanchez dominated from beginning to end and easily won a unanimous decision. Stevenson might want to think about retiring. His loss to Sanchez was his third in a row.
