Welcome to our ongoing coverage of UFC BEDLAM~! Keep checking back throughout the night for results of the main card.
1. Brandon Vera vs. Fabricio Werdum. Werdum beat him via ground and pound in the first. Rogan said this might have been a premature stoppage, but upon watching the replay he admitted that you could make an argument either way. This was the same ref who stopped the Kimbo fight, by the way. Crowd booed loudly.
2. Nate Marquardt vs. Thales Leites. Pretty good fight. Very controversial. Nate got docked two points during the fight, one for an illegal knee and one for a shot to the back of the head. In the end, because of those two points, he lost the decision. Problem was, they had a replay of the shot to the back of the head and it was clearly to the side. Crowd booed the decision. Marquardt wasn't hurt by this, though, and probably got over bigger because of his performance.
3. Luiz Cane vs. Jason Lambert. Cane won via TKO in the first round. He rocked Lambert and then stayed on him until Herb Dean stopped it. Lambert tried to double leg Dean afterwards but failed.
4. Marcus Davis vs. Mike Swick. Swick won a three-round decision 29-27. He lost a point for grabbing the fence in the third. He definitely won but aside from a vagina on Marcus' cheek he really didn't come close to finishing him at any point.
5. Michael Bisping vs. Jason Day. Bisping won in the first round via mauling.
6. Matt Hughes vs. Thiago Alves. Rogan said Alves looked huge. No shit? He didn't make weight by FOUR POUNDS, then re-hydrated. Thiago killed him with a super hard knee in the second, and worse, when Matt collapsed he ended up going sideways on his own knee. Ref stopped it. Destruction by Thiago, though tainted in some ways due to his failure to make weight.
a. Thiago Tavares vs. Matt Wiman. Well, this was the best Matt Wiman performance of all time. He looked fucking great, winning in the second round with a straight shot right to the face. Best fight on the show by far. {plug}
