UPDATE at 7 p.m.:
Grice submitted in first round
One early mistake was all it took to deny Harrah product Matt Grice a victory at the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s UFC 100 in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Grice got caught in a guillotine choke within the first minute against Shannon Gugerty after being taken down by an inside trip in the lightweight contest.
Grice was able to work his way back up to his feet, but Gugerty never let go of the choke. Gugerty took Grice down again with the choke and referee Herb Dean stopped the bout 2:36 into the first round after Grice’s right arm went limp.
It is Grice’s second consecutive loss in the UFC. He also lost in February and is now 1-3 in the UFC and 9-3-0 overall. Gugerty improves to 12-3-0.
From Staff Reports
Well, the time for talking is almost over. We’re just hours away from UFC 100 in Las Vegas. You know the main event (Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir, Georges St. Pierre vs. Thiago Alves and Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping).
And if you read today’s paper, then you know the story of Matt Grice. I was surprised and delighted by how open he was about everything. He didn’t hold back. And here’s a little more info about Grice.
Since he’ll be fighting Shannon Gugerty in a preliminary bout, I’ll try to get that result posted as soon as it comes across the wire tonight. I would think it won’t be on the PPV, but if all the fights run short, then it could still possibly end up on air.
