UFC 134 openers: Alcantara and Jabouin victorious in Rio

The first of 14 Brazilians to appear on the card tonight at UFC 134 in Rio de Janeiro put on a good scrap. The elder of the two, Yuri Alcantara showed a little more poise and scored well in each round to roll to a unanimous decision victory, 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28, over Felipe Arantes at UFC 134 in Brazil.

Technically, this was Alcantara's UFC debut, but he already has a Zuffa win under his belt from WEC 53 where he destroyed Ricardo Lamas via first-round knockout. His gameplan wasn't too tricky tonight. Arantes didn't possess the takedown defense to stay off his back. Alcantara (25-3, 1-0 UFC) scored five takedowns. He spent most of the time trying to improve position. Alcantara did land a nasty elbow in the second that opened a small cut around Arantes' right eye.

Alcantara also threatened for a rear-naked choke early in the third, but gave up the position seconds later when he failed to secure Arantes' lower half. Alcantara is reportedly a jiu-jitsu black belt, but appeared sloppy on most occasions when threatened for a submission or got the mount. Give him credit though, getting to those positions is impressive in itself.

Jabouin gets first UFC win

Jabouin made a successful debut at 135 pounds tonight. His kicking game was too much for Ian Loveland to handle. Jabouin landed most of the significant shots in the fight and took a split decision victory, 29-28 on two cards and 27-30 on the other.

Jabouin was particularly effective using the spinning back kick. He crushed any hopes of Loveland getting the win by also exhibiting good takedown defense.

Loveland's lost two straight. He's 1-2 with the UFC. Jabouin is 16-7 and now 2-3 with Zuffa promotions.

Cerrone get his wish for quick fight with Siver match up at UFC 137

Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone is as hot as a pistol right now. After his quick win over Charles Oliveira two weeks ago at UFC on Versus 5, he told Joe Silva he's waiting for the phone call. Even if there was opening for UFC 135 just six weeks, he'd take the fight.

"I want the Denver card coming up very soon. Hopefully nobody get hurt, but then I hope somebody gets hurt," joked Cerrone. "I told [UFC matchmaker] Joe [Silva], I'm the guy to call. I'll fight anybody, anywhere. I have to back that up."

Well, it won't be that soon, but Cerrone is now booked to take on Denis Siver in late October.

Siver's original opponent Sam Stout had to back out of the fight. There's no official word on the reason, but it makes sense to think that Stout is out because of the recent passing of his brother-in-law and trainer Shawn Tompkins.

Tompkins passed away on Aug. 14. He died in his sleep from a heart attack. The 37-year-old, who worked out of Las Vegas and Canada, was laid to rest on Aug. 19. Stout, 27, is riding a nice streak with two straight wins and 4-of-5.

Now it's Cerrone turn to step in with Siver, who's also been on fire. The Russian fighting out of Germany has won four straight including an upset over Sotiropoulos. Stylistically, this is a dream for fight fans. Cerrone loves to bang it out and Siver, is a very good one-trick pony with an excellent stand-up game.

This is a another statement fight for Cerrone, who was one of the big stars in the WEC, but always had that cloud of doubt hanging over him. How good were WEC lightweights? We get more answers at UFC 137.
