UFC 130 Live Results: First TKO of the Main Card

Nick Meyer
The UFC 130 action is underway in Las Vegas and the second Spike TV fight and first pay-per-view fight have both just ended.

In early UFC 130 live results, Demetrius Johnson was able to win a unanimous decision over Miguel Angel Torres using his top control game.

Torres' star is falling a bit as he used to be a top five pound-for-pound fighter but Johnson scored a bit of an upset in Las Vegas.

In the fight between Brian Stann and Jorge Santiago, Stann rocked Santiago with a left hook midway through the first round. Stann, who came in 4-1 since training with Greg Jackson's vaunted camp, added some ground and pound after dropping the international star with the big shot early in the fight and continued for a clear win in the round.

The live results for the Stann/Santiago fight were somewhat surprising early but Stann's improving striking was definitely on full display.

A few leg kicks and a nice uppercut combo in the second continued to help Stann's cause. But Santiago's spinning backfist caught Stann around the midway point. Stann then caught a lazy leg kick but Jorge Santiago a bit later as they continued to trade near the center of the Octagon.

Stann pushed Santiago aside on a flying knee attempt again in the second as time started to wane and then later landed another leg kick and a body kick for good measure.

A huge right hand counter shot and a little ground and pound finished the deal for Stann in the second round as the former WEC star showed off excellent power then went over to console his downed opponent.

The UFC 130 result for Stann: another big wint o move to 3-0 since he dropped to the middleweight division. Stann could be someone to watch for in the near future as he inches closer to the top.
