*try to read with Goldberg's voice in your mind... lol*
What a great night of fights we all go to witness, as #1 p4p TJ Crawford took on Ivan Pavlinsky and Oliver Wood had a rematch with Dan Murphy after a semi-controversial decision at Bushido 20 sent the then #1 p4p home packing with no belt and Oliver Wood in the spot light.
LHW Title fight: Crawford v. Pavlinsky
Pavlinsky was 2-0 coming into the fight, both by submission and Crawford was on an impressive win streak.
Crawford throughly dominated the pace, keeping Pavlinsky away but the fight was NOT completely one sided. The contender failed to fight in his strong point and that lead to a majority decision loss (2 judges gave the fight to Crawford, one scored it a draw) , and Crawford coming away with the big win, retaining #1 p4p status in this fight of the night.
LW Title fight: Oliver Wood v. Dan Murphy
This fight was literally the Frankie Edgar and BJ Penn of OMMA. Everyone thought that Dan Murphy, mr. p4p would roll through Oliver Wood at Bushido 20. However, Wood was the judge's decision... while this may have sparked some controversy, he settled it here at Bushido 22 with an impressive submission win over Dan Murphy to prove why he won the belt. He walked away with the belt, and left no doubt in anyone's mind as to why he was champ.
MW fight: Anderson Silva v. Amos Pintos
The middle weight champion had no second thoughts about picking up this fight, rendered NOT a title fight against contender Amos Pintos. He picked apart the contender in a first round KO win.
Amos looks to graduate back to contender status and hopes his rematch will be slated... for a Bushido title fight.
Middleweight bout: Karnes v. Dunn
This fight looked to be a title eliminator as Karnes and Dunn were both coming in hot off of KO wins in their previous fights, but Dunn proved to be the better striker and became victorious in this 1st round TKO.
Dunn may be looking at a title shot soon after picking up 3 straight wins in Bushido.
WW bout: Miller v. Chan
Jackie Chan is definitely an impressive fighter. He pulled out a submission victory to win the fight and Submission of the night Honors. He also added to Miller's recent lose streak of 2, now 3.
MW bout: In another MW bout, Rainbow Sasparilla fought valiantly but alas failed to win over Mike Ortiz, who absolutely rocked Sasparilla into near unconsciousness in this TKO victory that was so beautifully executed it was awarded (T)KO of the Night.
What a stacked card and a great showing from three Bushido Champions, we look forward to seeing them all fight again. (P.S. Scott, PPV buys were through the roof with an impressive 200k viewers at one point... you should consider doing 2 title fights again sometime) (20 viewers)
