12 Alistair Overeem def Vitor Belfort Decision (Unanimous) 3 5:00

Overeem/Belfort was apparently a snoozefest and alot of people left in the main event. Belfort layed on his back for the fight. Southworth & Irvin were apparently leaning on the cage but the door wasn't closed properly, Irvin fell out and got injured. That's what he gets for being nearly 5lbs overweight. If he had of been on target, maybe the door might not of opened?

Suprised Bang got knocked out. Tyson Griffin is a 145lb'r naturally and has a win of Urijah Faber. This win definately brings up his stock and halts Bang in his tracks..

Puder picks up a win against another no-namer and Melendez wins a one sided against Guida - Who recently beat Josh Thompson. Melendez continues to rise and rise - The offers are definately there for him. Shooto probably first, but who knows?

Eugene Jackson is back in his second fight in recent time with another decent win. It's good to see Eugene do well - If you've watched him on Rites fo Passage, you'd know he's a very genuinely nice guy. His stock dropped a couple of years back in UFC after a string of losses, but I guess he's on a comeback trail.

Anywho, that about rounds it up. Oh - Cung Le won too.

PiZaRR-0

Vitor pulled his hamstring but apparently he still should have won. I'd love to see the fight even though it was rubbish. Has anyone actually seen it?

Yeah, I read the reports. It looks as though Vitor won and it was a bad decision. Unlucky for him - A win against Overeem would of done lots for his confidence. The initial PBP of the fight didn't look fair after I read a few more PBP's by other people.

Yeh I just saw rights of passage the other day, I was really looking forward to Randleman/Vitor so I was disappointed when overeem was put in.

Looks like Cung le is making a name for himself, we just have to wait and see how he will do against a good BJJ fighter. He already has the strikes and takedowns taken care of.

Can't wait to see the clip of Irvin falling out of the cage
