Customer Retention: How the Story Changes
Ardath Albee, CEO & B2B Marketing Strategist
Jun 12 2014
4:00 pm
45 mins
Business executives confirm that a majority of revenues come from existing customers – 68% according to a survey conducted by SAS and Loyalty 360. Yet most marketers spend the majority of their attention on net new customer acquisition. With contribution to revenues an increasing mandate from executive teams, marketers can benefit by engaging customers to drive cross and upsell. However, it's not the same thing at all as marketing to brand new buyers. Putting high-strength retention programs into play will require a shift in marketing mindsets.
Customer retention programs require:
· A new approach based on your customer's status quo
· Developing a better alignment with sales and account management teams
· A new twist on personas specific to customer attributes
· A continuous feedback process that also creates higher quality net new leads

THE THEATRE review of "Invisible Man" and "Chaplin." The writer didn't entirely understand what was bugging him about the director Christopher McElroen's "Invisible Man" (adapted from Ralph Ellison's 1952 novel by Oren Jacoby; at the Studio Theatre, in Washington) until he saw "Chaplin" (at the Barrymore). And although it's rare that a populist, barely-there bio-musical like "Chaplin" has any relationship at all to a serious dramatic narrative, the shows share a flaw: they fail to accurately depict their heroes' experience of evil. The evil that the Invisible Man (Teagle F. Bougere) suffers is bigotry. Racism has had a cataclysmic effect on his mind and his body; his response is to cut himself off from the hurting world. But McElroen has cast the wrong actors in the piece. Bougere's charm is soon eclipsed by his lack of imagination: he doesn't bring anything of his own to the part. He is cut off from his character's pain. Almost three hours long, "Invisible Man" is too big for Bougere's boyish talent. Because he is central to every scene, he comes to represent the show's shortcomings. McElroen has missed an opportunity to show how degradation actually happens; instead, his play about racism is a cliché, in which everyone is either angry or singing the blues. Also stars Edward James Hyland, McKinley Belcher III, Deidra LaWan Starnes, and Joy Jones. Rob McClure, the young star of the new musical "Chaplin," is a fantastic performer, who is blocked in his attempts to be great in this show by two things: the direction, by Warren Carlyle, and the score, by Christopher Curtis. Carlyle and Curtis have given Charlie Chaplin's muddy past a sentimental spit shine. The creators of "Chaplin" don't ask any of their amiable performers to do anything that we haven't seen on Broadway before.

U.S. Fiscal Uncertainty and Your Portfolio
by Charles Rotblut, CFA
The fiscal cliff loomed as we sent this issue to the printer three weeks before the November election. Unless Congress and the president reach an agreement, tax cuts enacted under the George W. Bush administration will expire and automatic budget cuts will go into effect on January 1, 2013. As I said in my Editor's Note, we are delaying publication of our 2012 tax guide until the January 2013 issue in hopes that we will have more clarity about 2013 tax rates.
Congress is expected to reconvene on November 13. It is possible that both parties will agree on a plan or at least be close to agreeing on a plan by the time you read this. It is also possible that no agreement will have been reached and fiscal uncertainty will still loom. Either way, there are portfolio actions you can and s

It is a disgrace that our elected officials put more time and energy into keeping their jobs and getting reelected than it making common sense corrections to our tax codes.
Investors at all levels are insecure about their unknown future.

You have not commented on the direction of stock prices, based on your best guess about the outcome of Fiscal Cliff. For instance I have about $25,000/- to invest. Should I wait for the outcome or should I go ahead and invest now? It is not important that your guess should prove correct. Any informed guess is better than drifting.

The federal budget has increased 7+% per year for 4 years. The sequester would barely dent one year's escalation and provide a ray of hope that would be stimulating to the economy in my opinion. Any simple agreement on taxes would put the issue to bed near term. I would pay more in tax if it was earmarked for debt reduction instead of spending increase.

I just signed up. I've been investing/trading for over 10 years and I am yet to find a newsletter to be happy with. What I am looking for is buy/seel recommandation where I will not lose more than 20% on that recommandation, specially when there is already a gain of 20% or more on the same position. As a new subscriber I can not buy whole Portfolio I would like to see some of the best present recommandations to start investing with you. I do not beleave in in long term investing.
Thank you,

Hi Sam,
Trading too frequently can harm your long-term performance. I would suggest reading this article by Mark Hulbert, which looks at the impact transactions have on investment newsletter performance.

I certainly agree on term limits for congress and also having a review of their benefits including their salaries and I think it is ridiculous that they make these decisions for themselves. I would like to see the number of federal employees reduced by 50% and much of what they do returned to the state and local level.

Their "retirement" income is assured
They have a separate health care plan

All they worry about is being re-elected

Twins held to four hits, lose 4-22:15 am | August 2, 2013
Offensive woes have Elizabethton staring at unfamiliar territory.
For the first time in 18 years, a Twins baseball team is staring at a record below .500 in August thanks to East Division leader Bluefield, which took advantage of a lopsided hit column in a 4-2 series-opening decision at Joe O'Brien Field.
"We didn't square many balls up," said Elizabethton manager Ray Smith. "That's not giving ourselves that much of a chance when you can't put guys on base. It makes it tough on our pitching staff to go out and throw shutouts every time for us to get a chance to win. That's not going to happen too often.
"Hopefully one guy will get hot and it will get contagious."

The MAMFT program is a 48-hour program designed to meet the academic requirements for the Marriage and Family Therapy (LMFT) license in Oklahoma. The curriculum is divided into 14 modules containing theoretical and applied psychotherapy courses and 450 hours of internship. Marital therapy, family therapy, and play therapy courses are completed over five nontraditional, accelerated semesters. MAMFT-track students will complete most of the program with their MSCP counterparts, but will diverge in Module 14 to complete Marital and Family Systems. MAMFT-track students have the option of adding an additional 12 hours to complete a 60-hour program. If students choose to complete an additional 12 hours of course work, they will complete Module 15 (Substance Abuse) and then rejoin their MSCP counterparts for Modules 16-18.
The courses (modules) are completed sequentially to allow focused study on one subject area at a time. Class meetings occur one night per week for a four-hour session for the first year of the program. In year two, classes will occur over intensive weekend courses that meet Friday evenings for four hours and all day Saturday for eight hours. Extensive directed study occurs outside the classroom in preparation for participative learning experiences during class time.
In addition to the courses, MAMFT students will complete a 450-hour Internship. Specific guidelines for the internship are provided in a supplemental publication (Internship Handbook). Work on all components of the program (modules and internship) occurs simultaneously.
Another vital component of counselor preparation is supervised experience in marital therapy, family therapy and play therapy counseling situations. This process is initiated briefly in the first module, but is developed more fully during the internship placement. Internships begin at the end of the first semester and are completed by the fifth and final semester. The internship occurs in approved clinical settings in which marital or marriage counseling is an integral part of the practice. Throughout the program, students are encouraged to apply the training from their psychotherapy courses. The clinical capstone of the program occurs in the Multicultural Treatment Planning course. Students integrate assessment, diagnostic, and treatment process into a clinical demonstration of their abilities to conceptualize the dynamics of their clients and to articulate comprehensive treatment plans.
All graduate degree programs at SNU require an exit evaluation. In the MAMFT program, the exit evaluation occurs through a Clinical Competency Interview (CCI). The CCI is a way of demonstrating clinical competency of the student and synthesizing the various clinical components of the program. The CCI is intended to evaluate students' competence in assessing, diagnosing, and treating clients. Specific guidelines for completing the CCI are available in the CCI Handbook.

Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Worth Moving For – I moved from New York, and this place beats every New York eatery for breakfast, hands down. Great service, great eggs benedict and pancakes, and friendly. Go at 10:30AM, order breakfast, and then watch the 11AM duck walk, then eat.
mmmmmmmm best meal ever – we had a good time , very nice restaurant and my meal was awesome! i will go back again and i recommend it
Best Corned Beef Hash and Egg Benedicts in Orlando – I eat breakfast every Sunday morning at the counter of the open-kitchen B-Line Diner in the Peabody Hotel on I-Drive. Without exception, they make and serve the best corned beef has anywhere which is fresh and not salty. Their egg benedicts with Canadian bacon or sausage patty's which they make, coupled with their shredded hash brown potatoes that have onions, tomato and green peppers mixed in are excellent. Darin is the egg specialist and creates a variety of egg dishes at the request of customers, while Wendy works the grill making the hash browns, corned beef hash and anything that needs to be put on a flat grill. The kitchen team is friendly, professional and massively competent, and the Servers are the most professional I have encountered in Orlando and most other cities; in this day and age of hiring and then not training people who serve the public. Breakfast costs me roughly $19.00 plus tip, which is more than the chain restaurants but you do not have kids flipping their pancakes past your head or screaming about a full diaper!! Piece, quiet, good food, coffee! It does not get any better than this anywhere!!
Open 24 hours a day, this Peabody Hotel eatery is known for both its great food and its extended service.
– The Scene
The decor, gleaming with chrome and shiny pink Formica tables, harkens back to the roadside diners of yesteryear. With a jukebox in the corner, the B-Line gets loud. Kids will like the children's menu and activities, including coloring books and crayons.
The Food
Not your typical diner fare. The menu ranges from burgers to filet mignon. The chicken potpie, a golden tub of pastry filled with tender chunks of meat and vegetables, is as excellent as the falafel sandwich on pita bread. Considering the diner decor, the menu, surprisingly, also includes healthy options. The delectable desserts displayed in a glass case don't, however, fall into that category. Choose from an excellent selection of cakes, pies, tortes and cookies. If it's available, try the moist and delicious red velvet cake.
B for the Best – B-Line Diner is a great place to go after hours or anytime of the day since they open almost 24 hours everyday. They are known for their great desserts and clean enviroment. All I can say is, it's worth the drive from downtown Orlando to I-Drive for some after hour munchies, enjoy the clean and quiet enviroment.

Sméagol (Gollum) is a single, 587 year old, hobbit-like male of no fixed abode. He has presented with antisocial behaviour, increasing aggression, and preoccupation with the "one ring."
Sméagol comes from a wealthy and influential family, his grandmother being a wise woman in the river folk community. Nothing is known about Sméagol's birth or schooling. He was spiteful to others and had only one friend, Deagol, whom he later murdered after stealing the ring from him. For Sméagol this was an important life event; the ring enabled him to disappear and listen secretly to conversations. His family and community, appalled by his actions and believing he was a thief and murderer, banished him to a solitary life in the misty mountains. He lived for many years with the ring as his only friend and began to detest the outside world—loathing the sun, moon, and wind. He ate only live animals or raw fish. Eventually Sméagol created Gollum, the outsider, who had a more violent personality. When Gollum was 25, the ring was stolen by Bilbo Baggins.1 Since then Gollum has had obsessional thoughts and has dedicated his life to reacquiring it, sometimes …

I have done this religiously for 4 weeks. 2 minor cheat days in this 4 weeks. Having consistent good workouts and truly hitting 10's often. I am seeing no change in my physique! Anybody else going through this? When should I start seeing changes? I am 43 yrs old. 250 lbs and 6'1'' tall. My scale at home has been all over the charts registering as much as 3 to 4 lbs differences day to day! Becoming a bit discouraged!
Are you a male or female? I'm also in my fourth week, but I am seeing results physically (not dramatic, but they are there) and I am feeling results ... From what I've read and been told, females usually see the best results in the 8th week range, males normally by 4 weeks.
Can you give an example of what you are eating during the day and when? Are you taking any supplements?
I posted this last week on another thread:
I think it was in the Body for Life Champions book where I read that it takes the normal 6-8 weeks for men and 8-10 for women to really notice a difference. There is always the exception to where you would see something sooner, and some would not see anything until the end. The thing I tell my girlfriend, everytime she complains about her build and weight, is that this is a marathon not a sprint. She quit smoking 4yrs ago yesterday and put on 20+ lbs the first yr she quit. She works out and eats the same way I do, but her body still is not use to not having nicatine and so she has not lost or gained any weight since. Doc's tell her she is at her weight that her body wants her to be. To me she looks healthy and great, but what do I know about women?...Not a Damn thing....lol We just keep on keeping on...someday she will accept the way she looks...to me is BEAUTIFULL!! Now I want my cookie....lol
Tis better to look UP in the mirror to be inspired than to look DOWN at the scale and lose your desire!! - SEM
First - you CAN do this.
Second - The program works.
I've followed BFL with varying levels of success for 8 years now. My success varyied based on my adherence to the program. If you post an average day or two of meals, we'll all be happy to give you an honest critique.
At 6'1" and 250, you should be seeing good weight loss results for the first few weeks. I would suggest reading (or re-reading) the original book. Eat simply for your first challenge and leave the recipes and added ingredients for the maintenance phase when you've gotten where you want to be. Enjoy your free day, but the other 6 days, stick to simple foods in proper portions, lots of water, and hit your 10's. You'll get there, don't give up!
Best of luck!
I am Male, performing workouts religiously. Increasing weight every other workout and hitting good high points! Nutrition- I use 2 lean 15 shakes per day, 3 solid meals with authorized foods per day, cottage cheese and fruit as last snack of the day. My exercise starts at about 8:30 each morning and meals are spaced 2.5 to 3 hours apart. Minimal cheating on cheat day. Consume about 100 to 120 ounces of water per day!
"use 2 lean 15 shakes per day "??? Not sure what this means, "3 solid meals with authorized foods per day" A solid meal = maybe a 3 to 4 oz max of lean protein, portion of steam veg, and a small plan russet potato. that is as solid as it should be. do that cooked no or low fat, and small portions of veg, starch, protein, for the three meals, a snack being as small as 1 protein bar, or maybe 12 almonds, or a shake made with water and possible a cup of berries. I know that you will see results doing that. You will not be hungry and YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT FAST!
PS ANOTHER TRICK, add a wedge of lime or lemon, about packet of nutra sweet or stevia to it and fool your system into thinking it is being replenished all day long

WEIRTON - Weirton First Church of the Nazarene was the setting for the wedding of Tiffani Mari Swiger and Ashik Khan on Jun 7. The 2:30 p.m. ceremony was officiated by the Rev. Larry Barkley.

She carried a bouquet of red and white roses, stargazer lillies and pink alstroemerias with white satin ribbon and jewels.
The groom is the son of Sharzam and Wantie Khan.

Areas of expertise
Islam and Islamic cultural studies; African cultural studies
My teaching focus at Southwestern is the Islamic tradition and topics related to the broader area of Islamic cultural studies as well as African cultural studies.
My research sits at the intersection of the humanities and the social sciences, drawing on the disciplines of literature, anthropology and sociology, communication studies, political science and religion. My work has focused particularly on expressive culture in Sudan and its religious, cultural, aesthetic and political dimensions. I have research and teaching interests in the following areas: postcolonial studies and theories of nationalism and globalization; performance studies and expressive culture (including ritual, theater and everyday performances of identity); gender studies (gender, sexuality and religion); media studies (religion and media; media as a technology of subjectivity and community, etc.); indymedia; alternative media and community-based media); African and Middle Eastern literature and film/video; poetics and politics of ethnography; community-based cultural production and activism; peace and conflict studies; global, international and intercultural education; discourses of human rights and humanitarianism; Sudan.
I am also interested in broader theoretical and methodological issues in the study of religion; the interaction of religion with other disciplines; the transmission and dissemination of religious identities and ideas across borders; and the pedagogies of the humanities and social sciences in a globalized and virtual age.

Margery Eagan: Obama's left turn sure to drive GOP to claim it's right - 118 Comments
Yesterday, we saw the real Barack Obama. He threw aside his cautious, centrist first-term posturing and burst out of the closet as the fully formed, big-government liberal conservatives have always claimed him to be. And they are right.
Yesterday, Obama, who need never campaign for office again, became the first president in history to use the word "gay" in an inaugural address. "For if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."

The Library of Congress is a juggernaut. Over 31,000 items arrive at the Library each day; some 7,000 are incorporated into the permanent collection. The world's largest library contains more than 100 million items in 450 languages. This Brobdingnagian institution is housed in three enormous buildings, with a staff of about 5,000. It's almost incomprehensible.
Yet pause for a minute to return to 1800, when the seat of government was transferred from Philadelphia to the new capital, Washington, and the Library was first established. The library, originally for the sole use of Congress, was a no-frills affair. The first books, 740 of them, arrived from London in 1801 and were housed in the Capitol.
In 1814, the British invaded Washington, burning the Capitol building and the small library in the process. Retired President Thomas Jefferson, an avid book collector with the finest library in the country, stepped forward and offered his collection to Congress. It is hard to imagine, but Congress actually hestitated, objecting that Jefferson's library contained controversial material, such as "immoral" French writers and philosophers. After four months of angry Congressional debate, the final vote on the matter was 81 in favor and 71 opposed. Interestingly, the better-educated members of Congress were more likely to vote against accepting Jefferson's offer, which perhaps in itself was a validation of Jefferson's well-known advocacy of "the common man."
By accepting Jefferson's 6,487 books, the size of the Library was more than doubled. More importantly, however, it was set upon a new course. In accepting Jefferson's books, Congress tacitly subscribed to his all-embracing philosophy, which guides the Library to this day.
A visitor to the Library of Congress usually enters the grand Thomas Jefferson Building completed in 1897. The magnificent interior, with its soaring vaulted ceilings, marble columns, mosaic floors, and ornate murals, was a decidedly American undertaking - something of a political statement in the European-besotted Gilded Age. While the decorative themes may seem decidedly lopsided to the modern visitor - scarcely acknowledging non-Western cultures - they are remarkably beautiful.
On my first visit to the Library (I must sadly advise that there is little hope of taking it all in on a single visit), I joined a guided tour shuffling herd-like through the halls for the simple reason that only tour groups are taken in to view the wondrous main reading room. On a second, more leisurely visit, I sat resting on a bench outside the "American Treasures" exhibit, contemplating the multitude of literary and philosophical quotations adorning the walls.
I asked the security guard standing nearby, "Do all these quotations ever make you curious about the people who wrote them? Does sitting here inspire you to read?"
The guard smiled ruefully. "No, can't say that it does. But I like looking at all the quotes. There are some real good ones."
There sure are.
From journal Paper Chase
June 14, 2002
The normally wordy Roosevelt made but a single entry in his pocket diary that day: a large black X with the words, "The light has gone out of my life" beneath it. Afterwards, he rarely mentioned his wife. It was as if he were putting an event too painful to contemplate behind him.
For insight into the inner Roosevelt, historians rely on his private papers, over 250,000 of which are housed at the Library of Congress. On a recent visit, the pocket diary containing the above entry was on display in the "American Treasures" exhibit on the second floor, in a glass case also containing diaries of Walt Whitman, Clara Barton, and George Patton. Elsewhere in the exhibit are documents from the Progressive Era: manuscripts by Ida R. Tarbell and other "muck-rakers", a charming photo of the Roosevelt children lining up for "roll call" at the White House, and newsreel footage of the Spanish-American war, the war that made T.R. an American icon.
T.R.'s personal hero was Abraham Lincoln, and numerous Lincoln artifacts are in evidence, including the contents of his pockets on the night he was assassinated. To walk through the exhibit is to walk through American history. Here is George Washington's school copybook; there the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation. Items are selected and rotated from the library's 121,000,000-object collection.
"American Treasures" is divided into three parts: Memory, Reason, and Imagination, the organizing themes of Thomas Jefferson's personal library. In truth I can scarcely do justice to this single exhibit at the Library of Congress, whose architectural and cultural glories are legion. By taking a narrower approach, tracking T.R., I soon realized that had I picked virtually any figure of importance in American history I would have been richly rewarded.
An interesting mental game to pursue at the exhibit was to find the T.R. connections. In the "Imagination" section a first edition of Owen Whister's The Virginian is displayed. Roosevelt was a friend of Whister's, and like him was an Eastern "dude" who went west, became a rancher, then came back East to write about – and romanticize – the life of the cowboy. Next to Whister's book is a letter from Frederick Remington, whose paintings and sculptures did so much to establish the Wild West in the popular imagination. Remington, also a T.R. confederate, illustrated many of his books.
Noted for his prodigious reading habits, Roosevelt liberally exercised his presidential borrowing privileges at the Library of Congress. While he was a man of action, he was also one of our most intellectually accomplished presidents. "He was our kind," said Robert Frost. "He quoted poetry to me. He knew poetry."

Now, the collection ranges from two copies of every book published in the USA to countless other one dimensional objects (that is the critera) like Bob Hopes' joke script. You will get to see two of the world's rarest books, a perfect Guggenheim Bible (one of three in the world), plus a giant Rheims hand-lettered Bible. They are housed in temperature-controlled, upright-piano-looking cases. Your guide will point out that the library's roof is capped with what was then rarer and far more costly than gold, an aluminum ball. The breathtakingly beautiful main reading room is familiar from countless films. For a neat souvenir, you can get a card that entitles you to read material but not check it out. Tours are on a first-come, first served basis and last about an hour. Wait times for a tour are about half an hour. You may also make arrangements through your Congressman for a tour; this may help cut down on your hassle wait time. Don't forget to take a look at the slightly riske Jupiter fountain outside. Free, of course--you've already paid through your taxes! Young children may be bored with the explanations of the symbols used in the decorations.

The simplest way I can describe
Halo: Reach
is exactly what I tell everyone who asks me for my opinion on it: the gameplay is phenomenal and addictive, but don't expect the storyline to blow you away with cinematic prowess. Halo: Reach is a Halo title in all respects. The same enormous variety of weaponry both human and alien is available for experimentation, the same versatility of vehicles takes you from land to space, and all of this is accompanied by the same wide range of enemies waiting to face their doom at the hands of you: Noble Six.
There is a theme to this prequel that as of yet has not been seen in the Halo franchise. That theme is a presence of sacrifice that we've seen in cinematic trailers previous to the game's launch. A spartan is on the run with a clear directive. Bomb in hand, he bolts at the Covenant ship seen in the distance while attempting to haphazardly avoid the shrapnel and oncoming fire from enemies. In a sad turn of events, a missile finally lands near him and leaves him crippled on the floor. A nearby friendly takes notice and picks his task up where it fell, leaving the poor soldier to gaze at the sky until death finally overtakes him after a look of understanding is quickly exchanged between the two. When the new soldier makes it on board the Covenant ship and throws the bomb into its pit, nothing more clear than "sacrifice" at the hands of genuine desperation comes across viewers' minds.
The trailer was touching and well-choreographed, but the level of emotional investment is remiss in the events that occur in the game itself. Necessary sacrifices are made in the name of a dire struggle against the Covenant forces in this first stand against them on planet Reach, but the set-up for a story of desperation and sacrifice is no more than following orders as the newest member to the Noble Team tasked with various missions across Reach to help the standing forces and citizens in this time of war.
Your missions range from bringing relay systems back online to helping soldiers on the field to defending bases in space on a brand new battle spaceship. The most significant of your missions comes directly from Dr. Catherine Halsey. She has noticed suspicious activity from the Elite members of the Covenant who come in groups to investigate some sort of artifact on Reach. Halsey is determined to follow through with her data research to attain this unknown artifact before they do, believing that it will mean the annihilation of the human race if she is unsuccessful. Only when you are tasked with her lab's protection and delivery of this data do you feel that the game embraces the storyline that was meant to be the face of Reach.
Halo has never been distinctive based on its storyline. While it is existent and the overall premise may be intriguing, the missions along the way are forced directive - which is all good in fun and games, considering I have all the motivation I need to want to kill the Covenant forces. This is, of course, the fact that it's fun to.
Halo: Reach is not a game to be hailed on its quality of storyline. Characters are hastily introduced, and no particular bond grows between them. It's clear that the intention for some form of relationship amongst the Noble Team members was present, but I'm never thoroughly convinced as a player taking the role of Noble Six. As Chuck has told me, [
minor spoiler
] Halo: Reach is like a horror film: you know the events will lead to many deaths; the mystery is when and how it will happen. This portrayal of sacrifice is nowhere near as intensely felt as the cinematic trailers would have led you to believe [

RANDY COUTURE VS. GABRIEL GONZAGA Heavyweight Championship Bout
Gabriel certainly earned this shot at the heavyweight belt, though its probably not the match that the UFC wanted. The UFC spent a lot of money to bring Pride veteran Mirko Cro Cop to the Octagon with hopes that a mega pay-per-view event again Hall of Famer Randy Couture would recoup its investment. But like a Mike Tyson comeback, it just wasnt meant to be. Mirko took a tune-up fight against a little known up-and-comer named Gabriel Gonzaga and got knocked out cold.
ImageThe 44-year old champion, Randy Couture, takes on the 28-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion Gabriel Gonzaga, who bears a slight resemblance to Chief Wiggum. The ageless Couture has been here before. 10 of Coutures last 12 fights have been title fights. Couture has the ability to pull off the impossible, coming out of retirement to beat the younger and bigger heavyweight champ, Tim Sylvia. But even Couture has acknowledged his fighting style would have matched up better against Cro Cop than Gonzaga. Gonzaga has won all four of his UFC fights, none of which went to decision.
When the fight started, both guys came out swinging
and connecting. Randy kept Gonzaga pressed up against the fence where he could control the fight, throw elbows, land body shots or force a takedown. Gonzaga was dealt some rotten luck when his nose sustained a deep gash on the bridge during a takedown and most likely was broken. Gonzaga bled like a stuck pig and never seemed to overcome it. He just wasnt prepared to be muscled up against the fence for the entire round. Round one went to Couture.
In the second, Gonzaga tried a high leg kick that Randy ducked under and pressed Gonzaga back against the fence. Gonzaga told the ref he couldnt see and the ref called timeout. But Gonzaga didnt want to quit, just have the blood wiped. Referee Dean said you cant stop the fight for that. Either fight or quit. When the fight resumed Randy had his back and tried to spin Gonzaga around for a takedown but Gonzaga avoided it by holding the fence. Referee Herb Dean immedietly took a point, no warning. Randy smelled blood and poured it on. I winced each time Randy punched him in the nose. Man, that has to hurt. Still Gonzaga fought on gamely trying for takedowns but he could not get away from the fence. Round two goes to Couture even without the help of the point deduction.
Gonzaga finally landed some high leg kicks in the third. The second one really stunned Couture and Randy wisely took Gonzaga to the fence where he could control the fight. With just over three and a half minutes left, Couture got a takedown and half-guard and began the ground-and-pound process. Couture landed uncontested left-hand after left-hand until finally Herb Dean stopped the fight. Randy Couture remains the UFC Heavyweight Champion!
An unbelievable win for the 44-year-old Randy Couture, now 16-8. He overwhelmed a younger, bigger fighter. If you cannot escape when Couture has you wrapped up against the fence, you are toast. Gonzaga, now 8-2, worked hard for this shot and came away with nothing but stitches. I cant imagine where he goes from here. For those who appreciate shiny objects, celebrities in attendance included Keanu Reeves, Kobe Bryant (with who I hope was his wife), Lee Majors (who spontaneously put a chokehold on Forrest Griffin), Michael Irvin, and Jenna Jameson (hanging on her beau Tito Ortiz). What? No Kevin James?
The under-appreciated Josh Koscheck is fresh from exposing the UFCs golden boy, Diego Sanchez, as overrated. Josh dominated the previously unbeaten Sanchez for a three round unanimous decision in UFC 69 last March. Josh is on a five fight winning streak and tonight he faces the former champ Georges St. Pierre, a man who has something to prove after losing his Welterweight belt getting knocked out by underdog Matt Sera in UFC 69.
In the first round, St. Pierre shot in for the takedown and pretty much controlled Josh for 3 1/2 minutes on the ground. Koscheck got a takedown with just over a minute left and finished the round on top. Close, but the round probably went to Georges for controlling the round longer. In the second, Georges landed a leg kick and quickly went for the takedown. He held Josh down for the entire round, making three Kimura arm attempts. Josh put up no offense and lost his second round. Fortunately for Joshs face, Georges wasnt interested in ground-and-pound and seemed content to try submissions. The third round stayed standing for 3 minutes with Georges landing the only shots and leg kicks. Josh took him down with two minutes left but Georges landed on top. St. Pierre dominated Koscheck until the bell rang, this time throwing some elbows that bloodied Joshs nose.
Georges seemed really strong, really conditioned and really in control. With the unanimous decision, his MMA record improves to 14-2. As for Koscheck, the loss wont hurt him. Hell be back. Losing to GSP is nothing to be ashamed of. Koscheck (MMA 11-2) got controlled but not blown out. He just cant say hes a better wrestler than GSP anymore.
Always the gentlemen, Georges said in Koschecks ear after the decision was announced, Ive been there before
youre gonna be back
During his post-fight interview with Rogan, Georges apologized to his fans for his loss to Sera calling it the best thing that ever have happened to me for my career. Never shy about post-fight requests, Georges grabbed the mic and asked Dana White to hold a UFC event in Montreal Canada saying the people there would go crazy. Dana smiled and applauded from his seat.
This lightweight bout features the Sports Illustrated cover boy, Roger Huerta, undefeated in four UFC fights, against Alberto Crane, an unbeaten Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion making his UFC debut.
The first round was a jiu-jitsu clinic with each man escaping and applying multiple submission attempts. Between which, Huerta would land some serious blows from the guard. He cracked Crane in the face and opened a bleeding mouse under his left eye. In the second, Crane went for more takedowns and leg holds leaving his face unprotected and Huertas fists would make him pay. By the end of the round Crane was exhausted as Huertas superior conditioning allowed him to escape every submission attempt and punch Crane in the face for the effort. Crane had nothing left for the third round. Huerta continued his beat down. At one point Crane was holding onto Huerta from behind. Huerta looked up at the big screen to see where Crane was hiding his head and landed some back elbows, one side then the other. With just over three minutes left, Huerta was in full mount pounding away. Crane turned over and left his head unprotected. Huerta landed a few blows before the referee stopped the fight.
This was an amazing win for Huerta, who improves his MMA record to 21-1-1, because usually those jiu-jitsu guys get a fighter on the floor, take him out of his game, exhaust him with relentless submission attempts, and eventually cinch one for the tap out. Fortunatley, Huerta overwhelmed Crane with his physical conditioning and wore his man out. The undefeated Crane loses his UFC debut and drops to 8-1. Roger Huerta is 5-0 in the UFC and is now a SERIOUS contender!
The Ultimate Fighter Two (TUF 2) winner Joe Stevenson is back for his 6th UFC fight with only 1 loss. His last win a guillotine choke submission win over Melvin Guillard in Fight Night 9 last April. Kurt Pellegrino won two of his last three UFC fights. Stevenson won TUF 2 as a welterweight but after losing his next welterweight bout, he dropped down to lightweight and became a terror, winning his next three fights. This is a good fight for Pellegrino but I would love to see Stevenson step it up and go against some upper echelon talent like Penn, Pulver, Diaz, Fisher, Gamburyan or Sherk.
Everything Pellegrino tried in the first round seemed to end up with him in a guillotine chokehold. Both fighters were active but Stevenson was silly with submission attempts. Pellegrino started to score points near the end of the round making it too close to call. The second round started with 2 and a half minutes of standup, each fighter landing some good cheese. Afterwhich the fight went to the ground where Stevenson laid down the ground-and-pound and opened up a cut on Pellegrinos forehead with an elbow. While leaping into Joes guard with 49 seconds left on the clock, Pellegrino landed a beautiful shot right on Joes face to let him know he wasnt giving up. Moe of the same in the third. Then with a minute left, Stevenson turned it on while he had an exhausted Pellegrino against the fence and pounded out a unanimous decision.
Once again Stevenson showed good sportsmanship in his post fight comments with Rogan, giving much respect to Pellegrino and blessing our troops in the armed forces. He asked Rogan if he should get a title shot and Rogan concurred. Joe ups his MMA record to an amazing 33-7. He is ready for a title-shot with Sherk or at least a big-money fight against Pulver or Penn (all things possible). The persistent Pellegrino drops to 16-3 but looked good and was not embarrassed by Stevenson.
|Kendall Grove, the winner of the Ultimate Fighter 3 (TUF 3) television show, goes for his fourth straight UFC win against TUF 4 runner-up, Canadian Patrick Cote. The long-legged Grove is highly regarded as a future champion but will have to get past a crafty veteran first. This is definitely a test for Kendall that he needs to pass.
The first round was busy but inconclusive with both men mostly against the fence jockeying for position. Then, with 53 seconds left in the round, coming off a clinch, Cote drops Kendall with a right cross behind the ear. Kendall wobbles to the mat and Cote jumps on, gets full mount and tries to pound out a stoppage. But Kendall is squirming all over the place. Cote tries a rear naked choke but no deal. Then Kendall rolls onto his side after a taking a shot in the face. It gives Cote clear access to land some heavy right-handed bombs. After bouncing a few off Kendalls head, the ref stopped the fight.
Impressive victory for Patrick Cote who beats a formidable opponent and improves his MMA record to 12-4. For Kendall Grove, he not only lost his first UFC fight and drops his MMA record to 10-4. He also lost a lot of mystique tonight much like Diego Sanchez did after his loss at UFC 69.
This middleweight bout features, Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist, Thales Leites, taking this fight on short notice, against Ryan Jensen making his UFC debut. Thales lost his UFC debut but won his next two UFC fights. Six of Ryans MMA wins came by way of choke but he prefers to stand and fight.
Ryan Jensen came out active, landing multiple leg kicks, escaping submissions. For four minutes he controlled the fight. Then with 1:17 left in the round, he got caught in an arm bar and tapped out. Thats what happens with these jiu-jitsu fighters, they can be losing the fight, their opponent makes one mistake and they catch him in a submission.
Thales improves to 12-1. Jensen loses his UFC debut and drops to 11-2.
