By Thomas Gerbasi
MEMPHIS, December 12 – With a host of family and friends in the FedEx Forum, Biloxi, Mississippi’s Alan Belcher left no one disappointed in UFC 107 action Saturday, as he halted Wilson
Alan Belcher vs. Wilson Gouveia -- Fight of the Night at UFC 107
“I wanted to show that I can finish fights and that I can knock everybody out in the UFC,” said Belcher, now 14-5.
The clear crowd favorite, Belcher stalked Gouveia (12-7). And while a hard right hand by Belcher got Gouveia’s attention, it also woke him up as he opened up with both hands on ‘The Talent’. Belcher eagerly threw back, and the crowd roared as a fight broke out in the Octagon. With a little over two minutes left, the heavy hands of Belcher hit paydirt, with a barrage of punches sending Gouveia slumping to the canvas. A few more ground strikes later and referee Herb Dean had seen enough as he halted the bout at 3:03 of the first round.
Now Belcher looks forward.
“I’m ready to step up and be the next contender,” he said. “I want that belt.”
In lightweight action, Matt Wiman broke a two-fight losing streak with a shutout three round decision over Shane
Scores were 30-27 across the board
Wiman vs. Nelson -- Watch it here
Nelson had some success in the first half of the opening round behind his quicker and more accurate punches, but by the middle of the frame, Wiman started to find his range, and a few hard right hands staggered Nelson and sent the fight to the mat, where the Texan finished the round strong and left Nelson with a cut on his forehead.
The fight hit the mat early in round two, but when the action stalled, referee Mario Yamasaki was forced to re-start the action two minutes in. Back on the feet, Wiman began to find a home for his right hand, but he started doing even better work with his striking on the mat as he kept Nelson – who tried a late submission attempt - from mounting a consistent attack.
A low kick by Wiman brought the third round action to a halt in the opening minute, and though Nelson came back fast after a brief break, Wiman took the bout back to the mat and slowed the Hawaiian’s momentum. By the two minute mark, the two were back on their feet, and both fighters scored well before another trip to the canvas. With under two minutes left, Wiman looked for an arm triangle, but Nelson wouldn’t bite, instead trying for a heel hook briefly after getting loose. And though Wiman ended the round with Nelson’s back, there would be no finish here.
