Okay, there wasn't really a bad fight all night, though a lot of the undercard matches ended in the first round. Here are the results:
George Roop (9-5) defeated lightweight Dave Kaplan (3-3) by split decision. I like George, so I was happy for him.
Welterweight Brock Larson (27-2) stopped Mike Pyle (17-6-1) via arm triangle at 3:06 of the first round. Whoot! Brock is from Minnesota!
Welterweight Yoshiyuki Yoshida submitted former Navy SEAL Brandon Wolff by guillotine choke at 2:24 of the first round.
Kyle Bradley beat Philipe Nover (Waaaah! He was one of my favorites from TUF a couple seasons ago! You know, the one Junie Browning talked shit to all the time?) but it was really disputed. Kyle kind of threw him down and then punched him when he was on the ground, and Lavigne stopped the match because Philipe went limp briefly. He recovered, and was pissed off about the stoppage, and so was the crowd. They booed Lavigne for the rest of the night.
Chael Sonnen beat Dan Miller by decision in three rounds, which is particularly incredible because he was a last-minute replacement in the fight and had to lose 36 pounds in 3 weeks to make it. Miller also almost submitted him at one point.
Drew McFedries knocked out Xavier Foupa-Pokam in 37seconds. I really like McFedries. He's an inspiration. He's been living with Crohn's Disease for a long time and has had a bunch of other challenges, and just keeps getting back up to fight again.
Krzysztof Soszynski (I think he was on the same season of TUF as Philipe) knocked out Andre (?) Gusmao in the first round.
Frankie Edgar beat Sean Sherk by decision, which really pleased me because Frankie Edgar is a pretty small 155-pounder, and Sean Sherk is HUUUGE. But it was the classic story of the fast little guy beating the slow big guy.
Matt Hughes won the decision over Matt Serra, and they actually hugged afterwards. I think the bad blood is gone. Matt Hughes bugs me though, so I'm bummed about the loss.
AND.
Lyoto Machida is now the new Light Heavyweight Champion of the World. By knockout in the second round. Rashad Evans got Knocked. Out. Cold.
So there ya have it.
I wonder if Anderson Silva would go up to 205 pounds and fight Lyoto. Now THAT would be an insane fight!
