Very good Pay Per View today. Good entertaining fights all the way through with plenty of action. At no stage was I annoyed or looking for more action, the whole thing was a constant adventure.

The only disappointment I had was with my ability to pick the winners. As it stands I believe I only picked one correct winner with quite a few upsets in their providing excellent value to those who enjoy a punt.

The best fight of the night was the main event with Couture and Nogueira providing a slugfest for the ages. These to legends of the sport left their hand bags back in the locker room and came out trying to belt the living snot out of each other. Excellent fight and definitely worth fight of the night bonuses of $60,000 each.

While I could not find the 15 minute fight I have found the following highlights and think they are worth a look.

While Tim Hague and Todd Duffee were on the undercard, the following few seconds made the main show. A new UFC record for the quickest KO now belongs to Duffee, look out the rest of the heavyweight division!

Next we have the submission of the night with Jake Rosholt choking out a battling Chris Leben.

Next we have herky jerky nipple tweaking Keith Jardine counting sheep after a Thiago Silva pizling.

Last but not least Nate the truly ‘Great’ Marquardt made quick work of the Brazilian submission machine Demian Maia. The only submitting Demian got a chance to do was the post fight drug test. After the fight ‘the Great’ called out Anderson Silva for a rematch shot at the title.

Both Marquardt and Dan Henderson lay claim to the title shot but we will see what the UFC does in the coming weeks. Maybe Anderson will vacate the title and step up to light heavyweight permanently… who knows.
