1. Jorge Rivera vs. Kendall Grove. There is no other way to explain this than to say that Jorge beat the shit out of him and won in one minute. A brutal manhandling.

2. Jason Lambert vs. Wilson Gouveia. Sorry for the delay. Gouveia won in round two via one punch knockout. It was funny afterwards as they showed a replay and Gouveia's commentary was, "BYE!", and Rogan responded, "BYE INDEED!"

3. Marcus Davis vs. Jess Liaudin. Davis got his 11th straight win with the second straight one punch KO on this show. He then cut the longest promo in all of history afterwards.

4. Paul Taylor vs. Paul Kelly. First few minutes of this fight were an awesome brawl, then it became mostly a ground battle. Taylor has been on the bottom for most of the two rounds we've seen so far, and now has a brutal cut on his forehead. We're into the third. Same as the second. Kelly got the decision.

5. Fabricio Werdum vs. Gabriel Gonzaga. Fun first round with some HARD ass kicks and some fun grappling. Werdum won. It was really strange. It was like a sudden gassing on the part of Gonzaga. He just sort of laid down by the fence and Gonzaga laid in shot after shot after shot for the stoppage.

6. BJ Penn vs. Joe Stevenson for the vacant UFC Lightweight title. Penn beat the holy living hell out of him in the first and then busted him open with an elbow. You have never seen so much blood in your life. We'll see if they let this go to round two. It's over. BJ choked him out in the second. Both guys and the mat are drenched in blood and it looks like a killing field. Good luck, Sherk. {plug}
