I only got this PPV to see the inevitable destruction of Rich Franklin by “Black Jesus” Anderson Silva. Nothing on the undercard interested me in the slightest. “Big” announcement at the event as former professional wrestler Brock Lesnar, purveyor of the Shooting Star Headbutt, has signed with the UFC. Love to see Couture destroy him…hell I’d like to see anyone destroy him.

Middleweight bout: Ryan Jensen vs. Demian Maia – Maia defeats Jensen by submission at 2:40 of the first round with a rear naked choke

Middleweight bout: Kalib Starnes vs. Alan Belcher – Belcher defeats Starnes by TKO at 2:39 of round two due to doctor stoppage.

Light heavyweight bout: Eric Schafer vs. Stephan Bonnar – Bonnar defeats Schafer by TKO (strikes) at 2:47 of round two.

Lightweight bout: Jorge Gurgel vs. Alvin Robinson – This fight started off great. Some slick groundwork, then after the 1st round it went to shit. Gurgel just got sat on and pounded for the final 2 rounds. Needless to say Gurgel lost via unanimous decision.

Heavyweight bout: Brandon Vera vs. Tim Sylvia – Sylvia defeats Vera by unanimous judges’ decision…boooooring

Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva vs. Rich Franklin – Black Jesus destroyed Rich Franklin in Franklin’s hometown as expected. It wasn’t brutal as last time, but it was still a hell of a beat down. Franklin wore Bengals colors, and Black Jesus in his infinite and all knowing wisdom, wore Steelers colors to further upset the already hostile crowd. It was glorious.
