n a one-sided beat-down of Patrick Cote on the first televised bout of Saturday’s UFC 121 fight card, dominating Cote on the ground for three rounds on the way to an simple — and not particularly exciting — unanimous choice.
Lawlor grabbed Cote, held him against the fence and then took him down in the early going, and that was exactly where he wanted to be. They spent the rest of the round on the ground with Lawlor honestly well dominating, hitting Cote and nearly finishing him with an arm-triangle choke, which Cote broke free from with the help of an illegal grab of the fence. It was an simple 10-9 round for Lawlor.

Eddie Alvarez and Ben Askren had huge Bellator wins in Philadelphia on Thursday night. Askren won his first MMA championship, while Alvarez won a superfight over UFC veteran Roger Huerta.
Alvarez owned Huerta from the opening bell of the first round, landing leg kicks, knees, and punches. Huerta was wobbled early on, and never seemed to regain his composure. Huerta had a huge strike near the end of the first round and chased Alvarez around the cage, but that and a second round takedown were about all the offense he could muster. In front of a home crowd, Alvarez thew punishing punches that made Huerta’s left eye swell shut.
The injuries took their toll, and the fight was stopped after the second round by the doctors because of Huerta’s vision. Since the bout was not a title fight, Alvarez’s title was never in danger, but he was still pleased to win in front of his home crowd.
"What a tough son-of-a … you know," Alvarez said of Huerta after the fight. "I hit him with a lot of hard shots, and he wouldn’t go down."
Ben Askren became Bellator’s welterweight champion with a grappling-filled win over Lyman Excellent. Askren took the choice 49-46, 48-47 and 50-45
Askren showed off the style that earned him the nickname "Funky." He took the fight by taking down Lyman Excellent at will, and then using a mix of wrestling, jiu-jitsu and ground strikes to control Excellent for the entire fight.
Excellent had flashes of brilliance, like early in the fourth round when he landed a huge punch that looked to slow Askren, but it wasn’t enough. He had no answer for Askren’s takedown prowess, and developed a mouse under his eye in the fourth round that hampered his vision. Excellent had another chance in the fifth round when he caught Askren in a combination armbar/triangle choke, but Askren calmly went out of it.
Askren admitted after the bout that Excellent did considerable hurt. He looked at his image on the video screen and joked about what his swollen and bruised nose.
"It’s always hideous, but it ain’t this damn hideous. Lyman did some hurt," Askren said.
Askren was not the only Olympian on the card, as Rick Hawn had a memorable Bellator debut. The Olympian showed off his judo skills with a breathtaking throw near the end of the first round, and then followed up with a bevy of punches. He TKOed Levon Maynard with just seven seconds left in the round.

A reporter from Sweden’s Automobil was returning a Saab 9-5 to the factory in Trollhättan when he stopped at a gas station to fill the tank. And what did he spy with his small eye? A 9-3 Sedan also pulling up to the pumps, with a trunk full of batteries. When the car started up, the reporter realized that said 9-3 was also powered by a diesel engine. This has all led to speculation that Saab has picked up its previous work on a diesel hybrid powertrain.
Three years ago, in November 2007, some scribes visiting the same factory got an engineer to admit that General Motors and Saab were working on a diesel hybrid. The engineer said that “We will get everything to work together. With the next generation of hybrid we can lower the fuel consumption up to 40 percent. This is possible with the use of more electricity.” Peugeot has a diesel hybrid coming in early 2011. It will be fascinating to see if Saab could get in front of that wave and reap the benefits instead of playing catch up.

In a fantastic battle at UFC 121, Diego Sanchez and Paulo Thiago brawled for 15 minutes before Sanchez won a unanimous choice in the best performance of his career to date.
“My motto for this camp was, Just earn it,” Sanchez said afterward. “I worked very hard for this.”
It was a close, back and forth battle that two judges scored 29-28, as did I. One judge scored it 30-26, which is a tough score to justify.

As was first reported by MMA Fighting, the UFC and the WEC will merge in January 2011. The WEC will have its two scheduled events, Urijah Faber vs. Takeya Mizugaki in Las Vegas on Nov. 11 and Ben Henderson vs. Anthony Pettis in Arizona on Dec. 16. After that, the fighters will be rolled into the UFC.
Henderson, the WEC lightweight champion, texted with Cagewriter after the news broke. He gave a simple reaction: . He couldn’t be more pleased about the news that not only will the UFC and WEC merge, but that the winner of his bout with Pettis will fight the winner of Gray Maynard vs. Frankie Edgar for the UFC lightweight belt.
"I’m very excited. Now the major goal is to go over there wearing a belt," Henderson said. "To be the best and make that claim, you’ve gotta beat the best. I want to take that one step further and beat not only the best, but everyone so there’s no doubt."
His opponent on Dec. 16, Anthony Pettis, is just as excited about the merger.
"When I heard about it, I was finishing up my morning training session, and I wanted to go right back to the gym and train," Pettis told Cagewriter. "My fight with Ben was huge enough, and now I’m two fights away from being the UFC champion. It’s two championships in two fights."
He said he will always be grateful for his beginnings with the WEC.
"I look at it like college, and now I’m going to the NBA, and it just so happens that I’m the first-round draft pick. The UFC is where I want to be."
Henderson and Pettis both said they had no thought that the merger was coming, which was echoed by other fighters. Cagewriter broke the news to bantamweight Scott Jorgensen, who will fight Dominick Cruz for the title in December, and lightweight Anthony Njokuani, who will battle Edward Faaloloto in November.
"I reckon I’m going to be a UFC champion come January 1! I didn’t even know what happened, I was asleep. I had a missed call from my manager and a text from you," Jorgensen told Cagewriter. He also said that he is looking forward to being exposed to a whole new audience, who will like his style of fighting.
"I don’t place on dull fights," Jorgensen said. "The fact that we’re on the UFC stage means that I get to show more people how exciting and how tough I really am. Every UFC fan that wasn’t a WEC fan will become my fan now."
Njokuani didn’t have any specific UFC fighter that he wanted to call out. He was just pleased about the news.
"Oh, hell yeah. I’m ecstatic," he told Cagewriter. "There’s nobody. Whoever I go up against, I’m just using that person to show the world what I’ve got."

With the UFC eating up the WEC at the end of the year, it’s worth looking back at the WEC history, including the men who fought in the WEC. Starting in 2001, the WEC has hosted fight legends of the past and superstars of the future. But there are some surprises in the list:
5. Brandon Vera: His best known fight was an upset of Frank Mir, but Vera made his mark on the WEC’s heavyweight division early in his career. He scored a TKO over Mike Whitehead and knocked out Andre Mussi at WEC 13.
4. Nick Diaz: Before Stockton’s finest fought in the UFC and then became the Strikeforce champ, a young Diaz fought at WEC 6. Sharing the card with future opponent Frank Shamrock, Diaz submitted Joe Hurley with a kimura in less than two minutes.
3. Shane Carwin: The UFC heavyweight contender made his MMA debut in the WEC, scoring a submission by strikes over Carlton Jones at WEC 17.
2. Frank Shamrock: In between his bouts with the UFC and EliteXC/Strikeforce, Shamrock took his submission magic to the WEC. Fighting on WEC 6 in 2003, Shamrock armbarred Bryan Pardoe in under two minutes.
1. Dan Severn: The UFC Hall-of-Famer also holds a special place in WEC history. As the main event on the WEC’s first card in 2001, Severn beat Travis Fulton — the man with more than 250 fights under his belt — in a choice.

Jose Aldo has set the standard at 145 pounds but the featherweight division isn’t without hope now that it’s part of the UFC. There are no financial limitations when it comes to bringing in talent from outside the organization and now the UFC has small more ammo to work with when pitching its smaller lightweights that it may be time to drop a weight class.
Top candidates to bolster the 145-pound roster
1. Clay Guida
2. Jim Miller
3. Joe Stevenson
4. Mark Bocek
5. Cole Miller
Others with UFC and outside the promotion: Matt Wiman, Mac Danzig, Nik Lentz, Efrain Escudero, Marlon Sandro.

The UFC has a new heavyweight champion, as Cain Velasquez brutalized Brock Lesnar to win a first-round technical knockout Saturday at UFC 121.
The fight wasn’t close, as Velasquez showed vastly superior technique and unloaded on Lesnar on the ground until Lesnar’s face was a bloody mess and referee Herb Dean stepped in to stop the fight.
“I trained for a five-round fight and that’s what I was hoping for,” Velasquez said afterward. “I wasn’t expecting this. You can’t expect a first-round stoppage.”
