TORONTO -- This is the
UFC 129 live blog for
Jason Brilz vs.
Vladimir Matyushenko, a light heavyweight bout on tonight's pay-per-view at the Rogers Centre.
Brilz (18-3-1) is coming off a controversial split decision loss to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 114. Matyushenko (25-5) won his last fight against Alexandre Ferreira by TKO at UFC 122.
The live blog is below.
Round 1: And ... it's over. Matyushenko lands an uppercut, left hook combo, then follows up with hammerfists from the top, and it's over barely after it started.
Winner: Vladimir Matyushenko via TKO (:20)
While Randy Couture gets all the "old man" love among fans, Matyushenko is 40 years old and this has to rank among his career highlights. Brilz protested the stoppage but he was limp for a second and it was correct.
