Mauricio “Shogun” Rua defeated Lyoto Machida by KO in round 1, ending the controversy surrounding their first matchup, in which Lyoto Machida was awarded a decision victory, despite many people who thought Shogun should’ve been the winner. This was Machida’s first loss.

Josh Koscheck TOTALLY dominated the trash-talking Paul Daley, and won an easy decision victory. I don’t think Paul Daley really showed any offense at all, until after the fight was over, when he snuck up behind Josh Koscheck and sucker-punched him with a left hook to the face. Unbelievable. There really isn’t any excuse Daley can give for his actions. I’m sure he’ll try to say he was full of adrenaline, or maybe even make up a lie about Koscheck saying something rude to him during the fight… but who cares. Daley seems like scum.

Brandon Vera defeats Krzysztof Soszynski by decision.

Demian Maia vs. Nate Marquardt – Holy shit Nate Marquardt hits hard. He drove a straight right hand into Demian Maia’s chin and put him out. Nate could have hit him several more times but stopped himself because he knew he was out. Demian Maia never even got a chance to show his jiu-jitsu. I suppose Nate will get a rematch with Anderson Silva now.

Chris Leben vs. Jake Rosholt – Round one ends with Chris Leben literally swinging to knock Rosholts head off. Big, wide swings from Leben, but none landed effectively. Man I was hoping for Leben to win this…but Rosholt ended up securing an arm triangle in round three and Leben goes to sleep, he’s left twitching on the ground, but he’s awake now and appears to be OK.

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, Chris Leben, you’re still one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC.

LOL, I think Bruce Buffer forgot Jake Rosholts last name, he announced the winner as “Jake……….Rosholt”

Add Todd Duffee to the list of people I want to see lose soon. He kind of seems like a dick. He KO’d Tim Hague in 7 seconds, and looked impressive, but like I said, he seems like a dick.

Joe Rogan mentions the UG’s hope of a Keith Jardine TechnoViking entrance, but it’s not happening tonight.

Oh hell, it’s on! Jardine with the pre-fight nipple tweak. That means this should be a tough fight for Silva… no it wasn’t…the nipple tweak failed, and Keith Jardine is KO’d in round one. He took a left hook and dropped to the mat, then Silva followed up with some punches on the ground to put Jardine unconscious.

Sign me up for the Ed Herman fan club. I’ve never really been a fan until tonight, but he’s a tough sumbitch. Unfortunately he got a knee injury and had to quit fighting in round two.

Who is this pony-tailed dude backstage warming up Randy Couture?

Well here we go, Randy Couture vs. Rodrigo Nogueira…I like both dudes, both legends, I’ll hate to see either of them go out on a bad note…but anyway, CAPTAIN F’N AMERICA RANDY COUTURE FTW.

This fight, after round one, is one of the most tense ever in my opinion. I like both guys, and they’ve both delivered their share of beating tonight so far.

Uh oh, Randy is in Nog’s guard now in round two. Will he GNP or will Nog get a submission?

Randy was in trouble several times but somehow survived everything, like CAPTAIN F’N AMERICA, this easily has to be fight of the night, and the winner is Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira by decision. GREAT FIGHT.

Randy says he wants to keep fighting in the future, he’s not ready to retire, says he feels great.
