As the big-time athletes continue to filter into mixed martial arts, some veterans getting wake up calls. Lavar Johnson got his in the first 30 seconds of the fight from former LSU fullback Shawn Jordan. A monstrous left blasted him around his right eye, he pawed at it and knew he was in for a dogfight.
The 26-year-old Jordan (12-3) surprised the hard-hitting Johnson with his chin, wrestling and power to pull the upset via stoppage (key lock) at 3:08 of the second round. Johnson, who was part of the alternate bouts in the Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix, was a minus-270 favorite entering tonight's tilt.
Jordan was a member of the 2007 national championship team at LSU. It looks like he's got a bright future in MMA.
"[Fighting] is an entirely separate entity. It's great. I love it," Jordan said when asked to compare MMA to football. "It's a different type of competition, just me."
He's an athletic 5-foot-11 and 248 pounds. Seconds after a rough fight, he pulled off two successful standing back flips to celebrate the victory. Jordan was a big-time high school recruit out of El Paso, Tx. back in 2003. The No. 7 rated fullback in the country, he turned down Stanford, UCLA and Oklahoma State to go play for Nick Saban.
Johnson, also former college football player, is massive but Jordan walked right through the knockout artist's shots and dumped him like a sack of potatoes when they locked up.
On the ground, Jordan was heavy and wore Johnson down. By the middle of the second, Johnson (15-5) was struggling with badly with a swelled right eye and didn't pay attention to his right arm. Jordan grabbed it, got into position and pushed forward with all his weight. Johnson had to tap before his shoulder was shredded.
As the ring announcer shouted the results, you could hear Johnson tell Jordan that he never expected that early left hook that changed the fight. He said he was looking for the right from the southpaw.
Jordan, now working with Greg Jackson's MMA gym in Albuquerque needs to work on his standup, but he's definitely got a granite chin. Johnson drilled him with a left and an uppercut to start the second and Jordan just smiled. Johnson has 13 KO's victories in 21 fights.

The atmosphere tomorrow night at the Pepsi Center should fiery. That's if the energy carries over from this afternoon's weigh-in.
The main event fighters, Jon Jones and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, were both jacked up as they easily made weight for the UFC light heavyweight title showdown (video).
The staredown was highlighted by some barking back and forth.
"I had to keep it real with him. I'm gonna end his hype tomorrow," Jackson told UFC analyst Joe Rogan. "That's what I had to tell him."
Has Jackson gotten under Jones' skin during the long lead up to the fight? It's impossible to truly know, but he did get Jones to go away from his customary stare away during the faceoff. Jones looked straight at Jackson and the fighters began to chirp immediately.
"It's about time he grows up and starts acting like a real MMA fighter and quit throwing [out] a front for these fans," Jackson said. "Stare people down! That's what we do."
Check this UFC.com video for a closer look at the face-to-face conversation. Once Jones, 24, walked away he told Rogan there's already been too much talking, he just wants to do his in the cage.
Jackson, 33, was jovial before he hit the scale. He even shook his rump a bit for the crowd. Jones came out screaming "let's go!" and pulled off the "black socks with sneakers look" quite well.
The crowd in Denver seemed stoked for the card. They booed loudly when Josh Kosheck came to the stage. For a guy, who got called in on 19 days notice, Koscheck looked shredded. The greeting and staredown from Matt Hughes was professional. Koscheck has been goading Hughes by saying the UFC Hall of Famer ducked him over the years. Hughes hasn't taken any of the trash talk bait.

There two minor dust ups. Junior Assuncao burst accross the stage and got right in Eddie Yagin's face. The little Filipino was shocked, but didn't retaliate. Nick Ring did the same to Tim Boetsch, but did so in more gentle fashion.
Takanori Gomi's demeanor was interesting. The Japanese legends is usually very stoics, but when the taller Nate Diaz tried to hover over him and get in his face, Gomi glared at him and starting shaking his fists.
All 20 fighters made weight without incident.
