San Diego Sports Arena - August 1

Jon Jones Vs Vladimir Matyushenko

Jon Jones continued to justify the hype surrounding his young career Sunday at UFC on Versus 2.

It was a short night for the prodigious talent, who barely broke a sweat in dismantling Vladimir Matyushenko with a salvo of elbows from top position at just 1:52 of the opening period.

Yushin Okami – middleweight – won with a split decision over former NCAA wrestling champion Mark Munoz in a grueling battle of attrition.

Ellenberg stopped Howard in the third round after the events doctor decided he was not in a condition to continue.

With a ringing right hook just 64 seconds into the fight, Gomi flattened Griffin sending him crashing to the mat face first. Referee Jason Herzog immediately intervened, pulling Gomi off a prone Griffin to give “The Fireball Kid” his first UFC victory.
