The UFC made the announcement to the pay per view audience via Mike Goldberg. They showed an interview with a dejected Travis Lutter and then with Anderson Silva who felt very disrespected that his opponent did not make weight.

I never get tired of seeing that Pete Sell knockout by Scott Smith. I had a feeling here that maybe Patrick Cote might end up with the same fate if he did not take this to the ground quickly.

The new formats for the names and information shows an obvious similarity to other major sports.

Scott Smith vs. Patrick Cote

Round 1 - Cote lands a nice leg kick and then another shortly after. Patrick landed a nice a body shot. Smith looks frustrated and then charges with a flurry. They lock up against the fence and as they release Scott lands a big right hand. They clinch and Scott lands some good shots only to get tossed around by Cote’s clinch. Patrick slams Smith down and starts raining down shots. Scott showed he has improved here and stands right back up. The round ends with both fighters throwing lazy jabs. I scored the round 10-9 for Cote.

Round 2 – Cote leg kicks. Smith rushes and lands some good shots. Patrick pushes Smith up against the fence looks to take Scott down. The referee separates them and then Cote almost drops Scott Smith who then starts acting like he is the Karate Kid in a very bizarre exchange. Joe Rogan was as confused as I was about Cote not trying to finish. Cote is content to just jab and throw some leg kicks. The round ends with Cote looking tentative and unwilling to exchange. I score the rounf 10-9 for Cote.

Round 3 – Big exchange and Smith gets the better of it. Scott Smith actually attempts a takedown on Cote. The referee resets them after they are inactive against the fence. Patrick lands some leg kicks and Smith looks to be picking his shots. Cote starts pressing the pace and then unloads with a quick flurry. Smith presses forward and lands a flurry of his own. He cannot take Patrick down again and they are reset yet again for inactivity. They explode and trade punches with Smith rocking Cote. The two fighters are pressed against the cage with no one really doing anything. Patrick flurries, but there is nothing there. The round ends with Cote celebrating and the crowd booing heavily. I scored that round 10-9 Smith.

Eddie Bravo scores the fight 30-27 for Cote. I scored the fight 29-28 Cote.

Official result – 30-27 for Patrick Cote and he gets his first official win.

Quinton Jackson vs. Marvin Eastman

Note: Rampage spent a bit of time listening to Tito Ortiz at ringside. He also looked a little nervous as he entered the Octagon. Marvin and Rampage had an intense stare down.

Round 1 - Eastman comes out looking to throw. Eastman lands some good jabs. They lock up and Rampage scores with an uppercut. Good knees by Jackson. Eastman pushes Quinton against the cage and leans on him. Jackson looks to trade now. Eastman shoots and it is quickly stuffed by Jackson. Eastman unloads with a good flurry. Rampage lets his hands fly and connects with a few. It looks like Jackson is uncomfortable with the cage. Jackson rocks Eastman with a big left hand and tries to finish as the time runs out. I scored the round 10-9 Jackson.

Round 2 – They exchange some small shots and them they are up against the fence again. Rampage pushes off and they are in the center of the Octagon. Rampage and Marvin both look like they are having trouble landing punches. A big right hook lands on Eastman’s head from Jackson. Rampage gets thumbed in the eye twice in this round. Jackson lands with some big uppercuts and knocks Marvin out cold.

Winner by KO – Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

Rampage states that he loves Marvin, but he said it was time for some “black on black crime” and then offers to take Chuck out for drinks at the after party.

Roger Huerta vs. John Halverson

Round 1 – Huerta and Halverson explode with Huerta grabbing a kick by John and taking him down. Huerta moves in and appears to inadvertently knee Halverson in the head rocking him badly and forcing the referee to stop the fight.

Winner by KO – Roger Huerta

Note: The replay appeared to show the knee landing to Halverson’s shoulder as Huerta claimed it did in the post fight interview. Randy Couture joins the booth for the up coming Cro Cop fight.

Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Eddie Sanchez

Note: Cro Cop makes his way to the cage very quickly and extremely confident.

Round 1 – Sanchez rushes and Cro Cop lands a left hand. Cro Cop lands a body kick and then lands another left hand that staggers Eddie. Sanchez lands a punch in return. Another straight left hand from Cro Cop. Left high kick that lands on the top Eddie’s head by Cro Cop. Sanchez lands a left hand again. Cro Cop rocks Sanchez one more time. HUGE right leg kick from Cro Cop. Cro Cop knocks him down with a big left hand and mounts him landing big punches. Mirko continues to pummel Sanchez and the referee mercifully steps in to stop it.

Winner by KO – Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic

Anderson Silva vs. Travis Lutter
(Non-title fight)

Note: Lutter approached the cage with a very dejected look on his face. He couldn’t even look in the fans eyes for more than a few seconds. He was booed heavily by the fans in attendance, most likely for not making weight.

Round 1 – Circling for 30 seconds. Lutter owns the center of the octagon. Silva stuffs two takedowns. Silva starts measuring and then throws a high kick. Lutter eats it, but takes him down anyway. Lutter in guard and dropping body shots. Anderson locks in a body triangle, but can’t hold it. Silva gets up, but gets taken down again. Silva attempts an arm bar. Lutter passes guard and gets in side control then gets the mount and drops bombs. Lutter attempts another takedown, but cannot make it stick. Silva narrowly misses with a stomp kick. I scored the round 10-9 for Lutter.

Round 2 – Lutter takes Silva down again right off the bat. As Lutter tries to pass guard he gets caught in a deep triangle choke from a setup by an upkick. But he is partially blocking it. Lutter’s whole body is turning red, but Silva cannot finish him. Silva is nearly illegally spiking Travis in the back of the head with elbows and Lutter taps out.

Winner by submission – Anderson Silva

It was a so-so night of fights for the UFC. Mirko Cro Cop and Quinton Jackson definitely made the night for me and most fans who watched this PPV.

Note: Wesley Snipes is in the crowd and I cannot imagine Joe Rogan is not thinking of issuing his fight challenge again, this time personally to the movie star.
