Stat of the Day: Jimmo/Sokoudjou
Last night’s fight between Ryan Jimmo and Sokoudjou was the closest unanimous decision in MMA history (that I know of) which didn’t include an even scorecard — yes, this has happened in Japan. The scoring used a half-point system that some commissions outside of the USA have already adapted in boxing.
The scores were for Jimmo: 49-48.5, 49-48.5, and 49-48. For the record, I thought Sokoudjou edged it by about 1.5 points — man, that was weird to type.

“Keep an Eye Out For…”
[#87MW] Eddie Arizmendi (15 – 4 – 0) is on a 9 fight win streak (7 by stoppage). Not all of his victories have been over fighters with great records; however, 2 that stand out in this current streak are:
- 2nd round KO via punch over rising middleweight [#120MW] Jason Norwood (11 – 3 – 0) in July 2011
- 3rd round unanimous decision over [#64WW] David Hulett (18 – 9 – 0) in September 2009
Out of Arizmendi’s 15 victories, only 2 have gone to a decision. In fact, 17 of his 19 professional bouts have been stoppages. Arizmendi last lost in June 2008 to UFC fighter [#109WW] Seth Baczynski (14 – 6 – 0) via 2nd round submission (triangle choke). The 25 year old Tuscon, Arizona native will attempt to extend his win streak to 10 when he faces [#272MW] Arthur Guseinov (8 – 2 – 0) on October 14th at M-1 Challenge 27.
[#55LW] Alexander Sarnavskiy (15 – 0 – 0) is one of the hottest young prospects developing in Russia. Sarnavskiy, 22, has already racked up 15 consecutive wins (since his pro debut in December 2008). In 2011 alone, Sarnavskiy has won 3 bouts with choke based submissions. Within the last year, his victories include:
- 1st round rear naked choke on lightweight [*] Marcio Cesar (14 – 6 – 1) in August 2011
- 1st round triangle choke on featherweight [#114FW] Douglas Evans (13 – 9 – 0) in May 2011
- 2nd round rear naked choke over lightweight [#314LW] Beau Baker (8 – 5 – 0) in March 2011
- Rear naked choke in 0:43 of round 1 over lightweight [*] Arsen Ubaidulaev (8 – 4 – 0) in December 2010.
- TKO via spinning back fish and punches in 0:14 of round 1 over [*] Victor Kuku (8 – 8 – 1) in October 2010.
Sarnavskiy is a definite finisher, going to the cards only twice in 15 starts. Currently toiling on the Russian MMA scene, it is time for Sarnavskiy to come to the U.S. and ply his trade against higher caliber opponents. Can he continue his winning ways against tougher competition?
