Show just started.
Tyson Griffin vs. Sean Sherk
-Mostly stand up battle, mostly punches.
Result--Unanimous Decision - Sean Sherk. (Controversial.)
Fabricio Werdum vs. Junior Dos Santos
-Short stand up trading.
Result--Dos Santos 1st round TKO (uppercut, barrage.)
Gray Maynard vs. Rich Clementi
-****ing Boring Fight, I want my 15 mins. back. Too many stalemates on the ground.
Result--Gray Maynard Unanimous Decision.
Josh Koschek vs. Thiago Alves "Co-main event"
-Good Fight. Kos was awesome for coming in only after !2 weeks! of prep.
Result--Alves Unanimous Decision.
Patrick Cote vs. Anderson Silva
-Good fight until Cote blew his ACL on his own accord. It happens.
Result--Anderson Silva by TKO 3rd round due to Blown ACL of Patrick Cote. (Not through a kick or whatever, he just blew it.)
Note: THis is the first time somebody's faced Silva into the third round. Silva connected w/ a solid roundhouse early in round 1 followed by two straight lefts that did almost NO damage to Cote. What a chin! And throughout the first 2 rounds, Silva wouldn't go on the offensive at all, staying at kicking distance most of the time circling the edge of the octagon while Cote is in the middle ("Octagon control") Sigh. TOo bad. I hope that ACL problem doesn't degrade his skills too much.. so frustrating.
Too dissapointed to watch any more of the 'extra' fights.
