 UPF-M 7 was a mixed martial arts event to be held by Ultimate Pit Fighting – Montreal on June 29, 2013 at the sold out Paddy O'Malleys Bar in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Daniel Newman versus Luis Hernadez
-[Results]: After a close fight, Luis Hernadez out pointed Daniel Newman using effective takedowns and top control. On the feet, Hernadez landed with several punch combinations and single shots to the head of Newman. The clinch was a bit more even but overall the stats favored Hernadez for the win. Luis Hernadez def. Daniel Newman via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).
-[Victory Speech]: Hernadez attempted to hype himself up on the mic which didn't go as well as he'd hoped.
-[Welterweight bout]: James Dove versus Marco Basa
-[Results]: Two dudes that needed their first professional win desperately clashed... and the result was incredible. Marco Basa landed every single strike that he attempted in this fight – and he attempted many strikes. He landed with ample punches and kicks to the head of his opponent, a few dozen chopping leg kicks, and some body kicks and punches for good measure. This dude was Michael Bisping-ing it I guess because he went heavy on the accuracy and aggression and simply out pointed his foe. Either that or James Dove has an incredible chin. Marco Basa def. James Dove via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).
-[Results]: Basa thanked the fans in attendance who gave it up for this one sided beating.
-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Alexander Georges versus Justin Johnson
-[Results]: Folly (n): Lack of good sense; foolishness: “and act of sheer folly”. That's how I describe the game plan of Justin Johnson. Justin Johnson the white belt kickboxer that took down Alexander Georges the purple belt and got himself submitted in the time that it takes IHOP to prepare a serving of Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity. Alexander Georges def. Justin Johnson via Submission (Guillotine Choke) at 0:18 of round 1.
*I know it takes more than eighteen seconds for them to make that breakfast, bear with me here.*
-[Heavyweight bout]: Paso Leati versus Shine Like A Diamonds
-[Results]: Paso Leati landed accurate yet brutal strikes as he pummeled his fellow Muay Thai stylist. The plurally named Shine Like A Diamonds fired back with accurate, albeit pointless strikes. In the end, Paso was standing with his gloved hands raised. Paso Leati def. Shine Like a Diamonds via TKO (Strikes) at 1:24 of round 1.
-[Victory Speech]: Paso Leati thanked his fans for their support.
-[Welterweight bout]: Sean Sorrowe versus Ser Jaime Lannister
-[Results]: Sean Sorrowe came forth with wild flailing punches aimed at the chomper and bread basket of the Kingslayer but never really made anything happen until he got a takedown late in the final frame. For his part, Ser Jaime Lannister went for broke with rapid fire head kicks in an attempt to find a quick finish to this fight. Ser Jaime Lannister def. Sean Sorrowe via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).
-[Victory Speech]: In his post fight victory speech, Mr. Lannister announced his plans to dominate the MMA world. The fans ate it up. He then went on to announce his split from his previous manager and put himself on the table to young managers that wish to work with him.
-[Welterweight bout]: Anderson Jones versus Eddard Stark
-[Results]: Undefeated grappler Anderson Jones had a lot of hype following him into this much anticipated matchup with Eddard Stark. For his part, Stark is known for being a young but growing boxer with a decent defensive game behind him. This surprisingly quick finish of Jones puts Eddard Stark in a position of prime real estate in the welterweight division's growing title picture.
-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Philmore Butts versus Guillaume Mein
-[Results]: Philmore put his knockout power on full display as he quickly stopped Guillaume Mein. To his credit, Mein attempted to get some stuff going early on. He tried to push Philmore to the cage to bully him and get a takedown and he tried to put a combination together but he was simply overwhelmed by the striking of Philmore Butts who returns to his former glory. Philmore Butts def. Guillaume Mein via KO (Punches) at 1:55 of round 1.
-[Victory Speech]: An excited Philmore Butts sold himself to the crowd in attendance who were all cheering for more Butts. Heh.
-[Middleweight bout]: Fenix Espada versus Jadyson Costa
-[Results]: These two undefeated fighters met and Fenix showed his class. Right out of the gate, Espada landed with a wicked head kick that left Costa patrolling queer street. Costa got back up a bloody mess and did everything that he could to get Espada to the ground just short of the old “your shoe's untied” trick. In the end it wasn't enough; Fenix Espada put a second head kick on the button and sent Jadyson Costa to the happy farm. Fenix Espada def. Jadyson Costa via KO (Head Kick) at 0:47 of round 1.
-[Victory Speech]: Fenix Espada made an ass out of himself in an attempt to hype himself up. I missed the speech myself but I'm told it was to the affect of “I'm awesome, screw y'all” before throwing the mic down. Oh well, who needs fans?
[Co-Main Event]
-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Sal Langreck versus Maurice De La Rue
-[Results]: Langreck landed quickly and he landed often. He dropped De La Rue with a monster of an uppercut, shoved him against the cage only to pull guard when he failed to get the better of the clinch game. On the ground, a battle for position commenced with De La Rue sneaking into half guard before ending up back in full guard and in the triangle choke. Sal Langreck def. Maurice De La Rue via Submission (Triangle Choke) at 2:45 of round 1.
-[Victory Speech]: Sal Langreck gave a short but polite speech to the fans before walking out of the cage.
[Main Event]
-[Welterweight bout]: Bear Stevenson (#1) versus Nando De Leeuw (#5)
-[Results]: Two of the top fighters in the UPF welterweight division clashed to see who would earn the first slot of the upcoming welterweight championship fight. After a dicey first round that saw Nando De Leeuw keep the fight standing and dominate Stevenson with his kickboxing, Stevenson got the takedown early in the second to change the tides. Once on top, Bear Stevenson knew that it was do or die against De Leeuw – he knew that if he let De Leeuw tee off on him with punches and kicks for another few minutes, he may not get to see that third round. He peppered Nando De Leeuw with hellbows a la Jon Jones that rocked De Leeuw who turtled up until the referee called a halt to the action.
*Bear Stevenson (5-0-1) retains his position as the top ranked welterweight in UPF – Montreal and awaits the winner of Nyrkilla Tapettava versus Ronald Rousey for the chance to fight for the first welterweight title.*

Fight of the Night goes to Bear Stevenson and Nando De Leeuw. I've always claimed that my ideal fight of the night would be a back and forth war between two evenly matched competitors. I would be remiss in my obligations if I didn't acknowledge this fun little show that these two put on. Nando De Leeuw looked well on his way towards winning this fight on the feet with his particular brand of Muay Thai striking but found himself in a world of trouble when Bear Stevenson took the fight down and stole it all away. Awesome work guys.
As always I'd like to thank our event partner: Ultimate Fighting Fuel based in Los Angeles
