BOSTON — Chael Sonnen (29-13-1) did exactly what everyone expected him to do: He outwrestled Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (21-8). Then he did what was almost unthinkable. He submitted the former UFC light heavyweight champion in the first round.
With both fighters back on their feet, Sonnen shocked Rua by latching in a guillotine choke and falling to his back to finish the hold. With time ticking down, Sonnen squeezed the neck. Rua held out for as long as possible but was forced to tap with 13 seconds left in the first round. It was Rua’s first submission loss since 2007.

The 25-year-old Dubliner, fighting in the featherweight division, beat his Hawaiian opponent 30-27, 30-27, 30-26, despite suffering a knee injury in the second round.
“I feel like a champion, honestly, put me in with anyone, anyone in the world, I’m dangerous for them all"
After the fight, the Crumlin man told mmafighting.com: “I’m at a loss for words. I wanted to stand up all the way, he caught my leg in an awkward position, my leg was wobbly when I got up. You live and you learn.
“I really wanted to finish, I can’t stress that enough, I want to put people away.”
“I feel like a champion, honestly, put me in with anyone, anyone in the world, I’m dangerous for them all. I’m just looking for my time to prove it. And it will come.”
While Neri Naig had been mostly silent since the sex tape's release, Chito Miranda has consistently defended his lover, at least on social media. He previously posted a lengthy Facebook message calling out the people who criticized his girlfriend.
"I don't really care what other people think or say about me (that's their opinion ... and I respect that), but I do care about what they say about my girlfriend, and I have one simple question for those who have a problem with her, regarding their self-righteous beliefs and opinions on morality, tastelessly expressed through their hateful comments: What do you do on your spare time aside from bashing helpless girls on the internet?" Chito Miranda wrote following the Neri Naig sex tape scandal.
Chael Sonnen (29-13-1) outwrestled Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (21-8). Then he submitted the former UFC light heavyweight champion in the first round.
The bout served as the main event of Saturday’s “UFC Fight Night 26: Shogun vs. Sonnen” card at Boston’s TD Garden.
Sonnen, who is primarily a middleweight, took Rua down immediately at the opening bell. But Rua patiently worked back to his feet and actually scored his own trip, working briefly from top position. But he couldn’t hold Sonnen down, and he’d soon pay for the mistake.

Afterward, Sonnen took the mike and issued a formal challenge to Brazilian MMA legend Wanderlei Silva.
“Right here on the UFC’s new home, FOX Sports 1, Wanderlei Silva, 6-feet tall and 205 pounds,” Sonnen said in his post-fight interview. “Boy until I met you, I didn’t know they could stack crap that high.”
The night’s co-feature saw heavyweight dark horse Travis Browne (15-1-1) earn a stunning, come-from-behind victory over former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem (36-13).

Brace yourself, world—the first photos of post-birth Kim Kardashian have surfaced, and in them, she looks...just like she always does.
Yes! It's shocking. The pictures were taken by TMZ as Kim, Kanye, North and their nanny left an L.A. medical center on Wednesday. Kim and Kanye look healthy and good, but the baby, of course, is covered up by a sheet in the car seat.
Oh and the nanny. I hope you didn’t think that car seats walk themselves into the pediatrician. Also what if the baby needed something while they were at the pediatrician and the doctor was busy? Kim would have to pick up North’s car seat, figure out how to buckle her car seat into the car, drive all the way home, find her nanny, get the nanny to fix the baby, then take the baby allllll the way back to the doctor. It would be a colossal waste of time. Hence Nanny had to come

Toni Braxton's dress did the world a favor and slid right off while she was performing Best part ... Toni just kept singing, until a guy on stage handed her his suit jacket to cover up the goods.
Lady Gaga loves to bare it all! This time, the ‘Applause’ singer went topless for the September 2013 Issue of ‘V’ Magazine! Keep reading and see the pic.
