Predictions:

Franklin over Liddell via Decision. I think Rich has a little more left in the tank.
Barry 1st Rnd TKO over Cro Cop. Barry is the younger, faster, better version of Cro Cop.
Kampmann over Thiago via decision.
Rothwell over Yvel via 2nd Rnd KO
Condit over MacDonald via 3rd Rnd TKO. MacDonald is the brightest young star in the sport, but Condit has too much to offer him at this point of his career.

Griffin via 2nd Rnd Sub over Dunham
Danzig over Wiman via 2nd Rnd Sub

Loiseau over Miranda via 2nd Rnd TKO
Wilks over Sobatta via 1st Rnd Sub
Funch over Patrick via Decision
Pyle over Lennox via 2nd Rnd Sub

Fight of the Night: Kampmann/Thiago
KO of the Night: Rothwell
Sub of the Night: Danzig

ok card but not worth 45 bucks, to see two aging fighters.

ok card but not worth 45 bucks, to see two aging fighters.

The other 4 pay per view fights make the 45 bucks a bargain.

Wiman defeats Danzig via 1st Round Sub. Guillotine
Dunham defeats Griffin via Split Decision

Main Card:
Condit defeats MacDonald via 3rd Round TKO. This was a GREAT fight, maybe the best fight in the UFC this year.
Rothwell defeats Yvel via Unanimous Decision
Kampmann defeats Thiago via Unanimous Decision. Great performance from the Hitman, definately opened alot of eyes.
Cro Cop defeats Barry via 3rd Round Sub. I think Barry gave Cro Cop too much respect and seemed to hesitant to throw his hands. And Cro Cop eventually found his range.
Franklin defeats Liddell via 1st Round KO. Jaw dropping KO. I did not see it coming.

Rich broke his arm early in Round 1 before coming back to secure the KO.

Chuck didn't see the KO coming either. He got knocked stiff. Time to retire.
