Dang. I was hoping Rich would win this one. And I thoughtMike Swick was spposed to fight Kampmann? Did he get hurt?

Just watched the replay and that knockout is similar to Silva's on Griffin.

Belfort is extremely quick with his strikes.

I was reading the results and I was hoping Trigg got beat by rear naked choke again.
