UFC and DREAM vet Kuniyoshi Hironaka got his second win in as many months at Saturday's Cage Force 11 in Tokyo, dropping former Olympic wrestler Katsuhiko Nagata with a right straight before finishing him off at 3:41 of the opening frame. The ADCC-bound Keita "K-Taro" Nakamura and PRIDE vet Daiju Takase picked up decision wins.

 

Eight-year veteran and "The Ultimate Fighter 4" competitor Jorge Rivera (16-7 MMA, 5-5 UFC) recently signed a new four-fight contract with the UFC, according to a new report from the Boston Herald. Rivera's April split-decision win over Nissen Osterneck, his 10th for the UFC, completed his prior contract. The 37-year-old has been rehabbing an injured left shoulder since the April win.

 

Over the weekend, the fight between Rich Clementi and Kyle Jensen ended prematurely when Clementi suffered a broken clavicle at just :45 seconds in the first round. Clementi and Jensen came after each other early, and after a clinch it was Clementi who went for a throw, but ended up crashing on the mat himself as Jensen reversed the move. As Jensen worked to improve his position, Clementi yelled up to referee Mark Matheny that he broke his collarbone, and immediately the fight was stopped.

 

Also Micah Miller, brother of Cole Miller, defeated J. C. Pennington via rear naked choke in the second round.

 

Drew 'The Master' Fickett did not pass his pre-fight physical and was not permitted to compete by the Arizona Commission for his Rage in the Cage 129 bout with Shannon Ritch. Apparently he showed up drunk to the event and was not allowed to compete.
