Irvin Ties for Fastest UFC Knock Out in Controversial Decision.

James Irvin knocked out highly touted and heavy handed Houston Alexander in just 8 seconds at last nights Ultimate Fight Night. Irvin opened up immediately with a right that folded Alexander and sent him to the mat, Irvin followed up with two more hard shots and Steve Mazzagatti quickly called an end to the fight.

Alexander popped right up and protested the call but you can clearly see Houston's arms locked straight in the air because his brain got rocked and he was making no attempt to defend himself. I can understand his anger, it must be frustrating as hell to train so hard and get finished in 8 seconds but fighter safety must come first.

All in all it was a great card and I would have been happy even if it had been a PPV. Big props to Nick Diaz and Matt Hamill both guys are tough as hell and never give up. And how about that split lip Hamill had! Yikes! He'll carry the scar from that fight for the rest of his life.

But boy do I feel bad for "Farm Boy" Tommy Speer, talk about deer in the headlights. Anthony Johnson just put a whoopin on Tommy and left him slumped out cold against the cage... not flattering at all. I think Tommy needs to head back to farm because he just doesn't have what it takes to compete with the big boys.

Kimbo Slice and KJ Noons Shine at EliteXC Renegades.

YouTube sensation and street fighter turned pro Kimbo Slice needed only 19 seconds to defeat MMA vet Bo Cantrell in last nights EliteXC Renegades event. Kimbo advanced steadily on Cantrell and scored a hard uppercut to the upper chest followed by a sweet elbow to the eyebrow area which the commentators seemed to miss. Cantrell went down at that point and was tapping almost as soon as he hit the ground.

KJ Noons had a great night picking up the EliteXC Lightweight Belt after defeating hard hitting Nick Diaz. Noons was able to land some big shots on Diaz including a devastating knee to the face served up when Diaz tried to shoot opening up a nice cut on his eyelid.

KJ went on to pound Diaz with more hard shots and the ringside doctor was forced to end the fight. Diaz was understandably upset and left the arena with a 2 finger salute for the doc and promoters.

All in all a pretty entertaining card and EliteXC production gets better with each event they put on.
