Results From UFC on Fox Sports 1 Saturday August 17
Updated Aug 18, 2013 7:45 AM ET
Chael Sonnen forces Mauricio “Shogun” Rua to tap out to a guillotine choke. For its opening night, FOX Sports 1 chose the UFC. For the sport, it was the chance for a showcase. At its best, athleticism, action, and unpredictability are common threads that weave through it in equal measure, though those are not always givens. The last time mixed martial arts saw this kind of opportunity was in 2011, when the UFC and FOX smashed the champagne on their maiden voyage to mixed reviews. This time around, there was nothing to criticize. It was all there on full display, highlighted by a stunner of a headliner, which saw Chael Sonnen force Mauricio “Shogun” Rua to tap out to a guillotine choke. Yes, Sonnen, the man who had been criticized for his problems with submissions, the man who had never beaten a former UFC champion, and who had spent most of the last seven years as a middleweight, tapped out a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and the last fighter to hold the light-heavyweight belt prior to the Jon Jones era. The official time of the finish came at 4:47 of the first round, snapping Sonnen’s losing streak at two. Full Results: Chael Sonnen def.
