MAIN CARD

• Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Dan Henderson-Henderson hurts Shogun first with a right hand, Shogun is bleeding all over the place, Henderson controls the first moments of round one, Shogun lands a good punch and Henderson falls to the mat, he recovers and should win round one
• Henderson pounds on Shogun in round two. The two fighters are throwing leather, But Henderson is getting the better of it. Mauricio Rua is having a tough time with his breathing because he is all bloodied up, he shows the signs of all of the punches Henderson has landed. Henderson lands a good uppercut near the end of the round, round two goes to Henderson
• A lot of pounding going on in round three, both men are giving it and taking it, Henderson still looks like he is getting the best of Shogun, but this is a war, Dana White even said this on Twitter. I give round three to Henderson again, but this fight is incredible. What a fight! What a war!
• Henderson is now tired and Rua seems to be taking over the fight. Rua takes Henderson down which is a chore in itself, he gets the better puncher for the first round of the fight. Henderson looks tired and this could be bad for him with one round back. Rua wins this round and makes the fight a little bit closer
• Shogun Rua controls round five, Henderson is exhausted, but he makes it through the round. Henderson wins the fight unanimously 48-47 over Shogun Rua, one more round and Henderson would have lost. This was a war until Henderson ran out of energy. Good fight for both fighters and looks to bring about a rematch.

• Wanderlei Silva vs. Cung Le-Let the fireworks begin, I predict a KO for somebody-Cung Le is cut around the eye, he lands kicks in round one, but Wanderlei Silva lands some very good punches, this round could go either way-Cung Le is pounding on Wanderlei Silva in round two, he knocks Silva down and Silva jumps up with a welt on his face. Cung Le is doing well until he runs into a right hand from Silva, bam the fight changes in Silva's favor. Silva hits Le with an Uppercut and hurts him, follows it with a head kick and right hand, Le is on the ground and Wanderlei Silva finishes him, TKO win for Wanderlei Silva, Le's nose is absolutely destroyed after this fight-What a welcome to the UFC

• Urijah Faber vs. Brian Bowles-Urijah Faber controls Brian Bowles in round one, slams him to the mat and wins the first round, Faber gets in the better shots-Faber hits Bowles with a good uppercut and wins via a submission guillotine choke over Brian Bowles. Great victory for Urijah Faber

• Martin Kampmann vs. Rick Story-I expect Rick Story to win this one, but we will see soon- I was wrong-Story wins round one by throwing two punches for every one Kampmann throws, Story looks like he wants the KO badly-Kampman controls round two, gets in the better shots and wins it, Story looks he faded some since round one.There was a ton of action in the third round, both fighters did good work, Kampman wins via split-decision- I hate when this happens-Two big losses in a row for Story

• Stephan Bonnar (winner) vs. Kyle Kingsbury-Bonner controls round one and wins it 10-9, Kingsbury has a bloody nose- Bonner Takes Kingsbury down and controls him in round two, winning the round-Bonnar comes out fresh for the third round, wins the round and wins the unanimous decision, why did one judge give it to him 30-25?
