Anthony Pettis
Anthony Pettis, der aldrig er blevet stoppet, har nu 17 sejre i 19 kampe, og den ny UFC-mester hviler ikke på laurbærene. Straks efter kampen udfordrede Pettis UFC's fjervægtsmester Jose Aldo til en super fight.
Nattens co-main event var en sværvægtskamp mellem Josh Barnett og Frank Mir. Mir indkasserede sit tredje nederlag på stribe, da han blev stoppet 1.56 inde i første runde efter et knæ, som Barnett fulgte op med slag på gulvet. Mir mente efterfølgende, at dommeren havde grebet for tidligt ind. Det fik Barnett til at foreslå, at de to fightere fortsatte kampen på parkeringspladsen:
“I know I didn’t want to stop, I’ll tell you that much. Me and Frank are the kind of guys who would rather die than quit. That’s the way it goes. I’m just here to fight. If you want us to come back after the main event and do it again after the main event, we’ll walk back out here. We can do it in the parking lot, too. I’ve got enough to go around for anybody.”
