Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva (30-4-0) took out Chael Sonnen (28-12-1) in round 2 by way of TKO after weathering a difficult 1st round.

Forest Griffin (19-7-0) got the unanimous nod to beat Tito ‘The People’s Champ’ Ortiz (17-11-1) and then ran out of the octagon like a loon thinking he lost.  Then took Joe Rogan’s microphone and did Tito’s final exit interview.  If it would have been anyone else maybe we could hold a grudge…

Cung Le (8-2-0) won the unanimous decision against Patrick ‘The Predator’ Cote (18-8-0) proving that 40 isn’t too old for the sport, in a slugfest that saw very little time on the mat.

Dong ‘Stun Gun’ Hyun Kim (15-2-1, 1nc) was beat by Demian Maia (16-4-0) or maybe just karma, when Demian took Kim down and some injury caused Dong Hyung Kim to verbally submit.  We’ll look into this one more.

Chad ‘Money’ Mendes (12-1-0) earned a TKO over Cody McKenzie (13-3-0) when he delivered a grueling body shot, after catching a kick, that dropped Cody for the night.

Ivan Menjivar (24-9-0) got out pointed by Mike ‘The Hulk’ Easton (13-1-0) in a 3 round fight where Easton just seemed to continually pick up steam.
