Here we go… Time for the Main Event.

Diego Sanchez enters the octagon in a warrior frame of mind, lets see if it transfers to tonight’s fight. This should be fun.

Round 1 – Diego is the more active fighter ( as one would expect ) and lands more punches and kicks, but Joe Stevenson laughs off the majority of Sanchez’ strikes. Is the effort of getting down to 155 sapping Diego’s power?

Round 2 – Lots of activity, with an advantage to Sanchez. Unless Joe Stevenson shows something in round 3, he is going home with a loss.

Round 3 – Joe Stevenson just couldn’t get it going, it looks like Diego Sanchez is going to be succesful in his lightweight debut.

Judge 1: 29-28

Judge 2: 30-27

Judge 3: 30-27

Winner: Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez

Nate Marquardt stops a clearly gassed Wilson Gouveia midway through the 3rd round with a hellacious knee followed by a flurry of punches. This was an entertaining fight despite the fact that Marquardt was in control the entire time.

Winner Nate Marquardt

Wow, This is quickly becoming a night of first round stoppages. Les than a minute  into the first round, Dos Santos TKOs Struve. This fight was over and done so quicly that there really isn’t much to say about it other than…

Winner: Junior Dos Santos

Barely two minutes into the first round, Demian Maia subbmits Chael Sonnen with a beautiful triangle choke. Maia remains undefeated at 5-0 (all by submission) and is shaping up to become a force in the UFC.

Winner: Demian Maia

Out of nowhere Paulo Thiago catches Josh Koscheck with a stiff right hand and gets the first round TKO.

This was a fight that never went to the ground and was clearly being dominated by Koscheck up to that point.

Win: Thiago
