10/31/2011- UFC 137 Results, Bellator 56 Results, NY Giants def. Miami, preview of WWE Raw, more

Hello everyone! Happy Halloween! I hope you all had a great weekend, or a decent one for those who were affected by the snow in the northeast on Saturday. It was definitely a shocking moment over the weekend since the last time my area had snow was in 2008, but the difference was that the snow sticked to the ground. Anyways, here is what happened over the weekend, and what's in store for the week.

UFC
UFC 137 took place on Saturday night and emanated from Las Vegas. Overall, there were 11 fights on the card. 4 were streamed on Facebook, 2 aired on Spike, while the remainder aired on PPV. Here are the results:
Facebook
  • Clifford Starks def Dustin Jacoby via unanimous decision
  • Francis Carmont def Chris Camozzi via unanimous decision
  • Ramsey Nijem def Danny Downes via unanimous decision
  • Brandon Vera def Eliot Marshall via unanimous decision*
Spike
  • Bart Palaszewski def Tyson Griffin via KO at Round 1
  • Donald Cerrone def Dennis Silver via submission at Round 1**
PPV
  • Hatsu Hioki def George Roop via split decision
  • Scott Jorgensen def Jeff Curran via unanimous decision
  • Roy Nelson def Mirko Filipovic via TKO at Round 3
  • Cheick Kongo def Matt Mitrione via unanimous decision
  • Nick Diaz def BJ Penn via unanimous decision

**= this also aired on PPV

After the PPV, Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic and BJ Penn announced their retirement from the UFC. Also, after a controversial remark that Nick Diaz made about GSP, GSP felt disrespected and asked to have a fight against Diaz on Super Bowl Weekend in 2012.

Bellator
Bellator 56 was also aired in the same night as UFC 137. However, it was on MTV 2 instead of PPV. Here are the results from Bellator 56:
  • Eric Prindle def Ron Sparks via KO in Round 1 to advance to the Heavyweight Finals
  • Jeremy Spoon def. Adam Schindler via unanimous decision*
  • Thiago Santos def Neil Grove via submission in Round 1 to advance to the Heavyweight Finals
  • Ben Askren def Jay Hieron via split decision to retain the Bellator Welterweight Championship
Here are the highlights:


NFL
The New York Giants were the only New York team to play this week as the New York Jets had a bye week. Yesterday was a  game against the Jets fierce rival Miami Dolphins. After Miami dominated the 1st half of the game, the Giants made a comeback and got a win 20-17 to "put it in the books".


College Football
Last Saturday was a big day in college football as West Virginia def Rutgers 41-31, Notre Dame blew out the Navy 56-14, Oklahoma blew out Kansas State 58-17, and last but not least Kean University def Rowan University 13-6.

WWE
This Monday on Raw, the Muppets are guest starring to promote their movie, "The Muppets". Also, The Rock will respond to John Cena for Survivor Series, and Jim Ross will accept the Michael Cole Challenge to face Michael Cole with the announcer's job on the line.




That's all I have to say for now. Have a good week!
