A fight card that needed no judges is music to the ears of both the fighters and the fans. At tonight Bellator 36 from the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium in Shreveport, La the judges could have taken the night off because none of the seven fights went the distance.
An exciting start to the Bellator lightweight tournament saw two first round submissions and two (T)KO victories on the main card. The nights undercard was more of the same as none of the fights made it out of the second round.
The night saw a few upsets, but none were bigger then lightweight tournament favorite and former WEC champion Rob McCullough getting knocked out by Patricky Freire. After getting rocked in the first round McCullough was on the defensive for the remainder of the round, fending off the submissions of Freire. McCullough seemed to turn things around in round two but in the third round Freire dropped the tournament favorite with a right hand and the fight was over.
The second event of season 4 on MTV2 was exciting, entertaining and full of action, here is how the rest of the night’s action played out.

BAMMA 5 Main Card Results and Reactions
Leading into the UFC 127 event last night was the BAMMA 5 card from the MEN Arena in Manchester, England. The card was headlined by two fights featuring a couple of big names with possible big plans awaiting them should they win.
Unfortunately both Paul Daley (400 grams) and Ricco Rodriguez (2lbs.) showed up to the party a little overweight. Though their fights did go on, the Paul Daley vs. Yuya Shirai welterweight title fight was changed to a non-title bout.
The main card saw four fights, shown in the UK on SyFy and everywhere else on a PPV stream at www.bammatv.com. Now let’s check out how the night’s action played out and the reaction that follows the result.

UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort Results and Recap
The highly hype UFC 126 is now in the books and while it’s tough to live up to the hype, it was damn close. Live from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada five former champions stepped into the octagon tonight.
When it was all said and done the UFC gave fans 10 or the 11 fights between the PPV, Spike TV and Facebook. Sorry Mike Pierce and Kenny Robertson guess the UFC wanted to leave one fight on aired for the upcoming DVD.
The undercard got things started off with a bang as the first three fights ending via within the first two rounds via KO/TKO. In the Facebook bout, Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson looked great tonight and spoiled the debut of Norifumi Yamamoto with his great speed and wrestling.
The spike TV portion of the card saw Chad Mendes completely dominate Michihiro Omigawa for a unanimous decision to open things up. The final bout of the undercard had Donald Cerrone shaking off a slow start to submit Paul Kelly and win the submission of the night.
The main card was five good fights, worth of the PPV cost, but it was two fights that really made the night.
Jon Jones handed Ryan Bader his first loss with a second round submission that earned him both the submission of the night and a title shot. In a shocking announcement Joe Rogan told us all that Rashad Evans blew out his knee and offered Jones the title shot at UFC 128 against Maurico Rua.
In the nights main event Anderson Silva made everyone’s jaw drop to the canvas as he dropped Belfort to the canvas with a clean front kick to his jaw. The two fighters were filling each other out for most of the fights until a flurry of action that ultimately ended with the knockout.
