I DK most of the fighters. Only know Vitor. Everytime i post that i think he should retire, he wins mostly... last 5 fights going back to 2011, only lost 2x - to Jon Jones and Anderson Silva. Rockhold was the Strikeforce MW champ.

LOL at wiki entry on Rockhold... someone edited it to a loss already!

Rockhold by UD
Souza by UD
Anjos by UD
Natal by Sub

Good to see Paulo Thiago back in action not sure how he will do though haven't seen much of his opponent.

Fabio Maldonado vs. Roger Hollett will be a good fight. Like to see Maldonado pick up the win.

John Lineker usually puts on good scraps.

Mostly looking forward to seeing juiced up Belfort take a beating.

[mattboxingfan]

Lineker looked great. He was landing his right hook at will until he got the finish in the second.

Rockhold didn't give Belfort the beating he deserves. Guess we will have to wait for the Silva rematch to see that.

Paulo Thiago got the win as did Maldonado.

Souza didn't take long to get the sub when it hit the ground.

Not a bad set of fights.
