So a big night last night.
Mike Swick made his return in a big way picking up Knkckout of the Night over DaMarques Johnson. Swicks first fight and win in over 30 months.
Lyoto Machida earned a title shot with his 2nd round KO of Ryan Bader. Machida looked brilliant in this fight and Bader had absolutely nothing. Although Machida, who came in 4 lbs light, has hinted at a drop to middleweight.
Joe Lauzon ties the UFC record for post-fight bonuses picking up both Fight of the Night and Submission of the Night with his 3rd round submission over Jamie Varner. This was a hell of a scrap.
Junior Dos Santos who is expected to defend his title for a 2nd time against former champ Cain Velasquez, told Dana White that, no disrespect towards Cain, but he wants to fight Alistair Overeem next. Says Overeem is a punk and a cheater and he wants to knock him out. Overeem is currently being denied a fight license until December 27th at the earliest.
Rory MacDonald has been forced out his UFC 152 fight against BJ Penn. MacDonald suffered a nasty cut above his right eye while training this past week. Has to do 1 month without contact. 48 stitches in total.
