Shane Carwin hasn’t showed up.

Dana says the winner of Mir/Carwin will fight Brock Lesnar this summer.

Lots of press kissing Dana’s ass, one begging for free tickets.

UFC considering an event in Orlando (THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN).

I think some chick just asked Frank Mir to choke her out.

Someone asked Dana about Jake Shields and Fedor Emelianko… Dana says he likes Jake and its obvious that Strikeforce is trying to get him beat by having him fight at 185lbs when he’s the 170lb champ. As for Fedor, Dana says it’s all about negotiations not working out.

Seth Petruzelli gets a shout-out from someone in the audience who asks about bringing him back to fight Kimbo. — I like this.

Lots of people asking for autographs…props to Dana White and the fighters for being patient and signing stuff.

As expected, Fedor Emelianenko won again. Brett Rogers did his best to give Fedor some trouble, I think he broke Fedor’s nose with his first jab of the fight, causing some blood in the first round. In the second round, Fedor landed an overhand right that connected on Brett Rogers’ chin, sending him to the mat where Fedor pounced on him and threw a few more punches before referee John McCarthy stopped the fight at 1:48 into the second round. I think Brett Rogers’ thinks the fight was stopped early. Maybe he’s right, maybe the ref should have let Fedor punch him a few more times, but I think Rogers was done for at that point anyway.

I’m sad that CBS didn’t air Roxanne Modafferi vs. Marloes Coenen, and I’m disappointed to find out that Roxanne lost!

In other fights, Jake Shields laid on top of Jason “Mayhem” Miller for 5 rounds to win the StrikeForce middleweight belt. Mayhem had Shields in a dangerous rear naked choke at the end of round three, but Shields was saved by the bell.

Gegard Mousasi defeated Sokoudjou by TKO @ 3:43 into the second round.

and…

Fabricio Werdum won a decision victory over Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva.

I gotta pick Fedor to win this. One of the fights I’m most looking forward to seeing is Roxanne Modafferi vs Marloes Coenen, and I would like to see Roxanne win this one. I think the winner gets a shot at Cristiane Cyborg.

Gegard Mousasi will defeat Sokoudjou one way or another, although Sokoudjou certainly has a punchers chance.

Mayhem Miller vs. Jake Shields is an interesting matchup, I don’t really have a favorite to win. I know Miller is an underdog according to the odds, but he is always able to be competitive, and usually wins.

Antonio Silva vs. Fabricio Werdum, I’m picking Bigfoot to win.
