UFC 67 results
Dustin Hazelett d. Diego Saraiva by UD
Ryoto Machida d. Sam Hoger by UD
Frankie Edgar d. Tyson Griffin by UD
Terry Martin d. Jorge Rivera KO R1
Patrick Cote d. Scott Smith by UD
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson d. Marvin Eastman by TKO R2
Roger Huerta d John Halverson by TKO R1 (There was some controversey as to the ending)
Mirko Cro Cop d. Eddie Sanchez by TKO R1 in a very one-sided fight.
Anderson Silva d. Travis Lutter by submission (triangle choke+elbows) in Rd 2

Lutter had failed to make weight (was 1.5 pounds over the limit on the first weigh in, and could only shave .5 pounds off in the two hours between weigh ins). The fight was non title, and Lutter was docked 10% of his pay (5% to the sanctioning board, 5% To Silva).

Edgar versus Griffin was the fight of the night, it wasn't scheduled to air, but since there was a lot of early finishes, they showed it last, which was a great move.

Cro Cop looked DOMINANT, but this was a mismatch. Wonder if they are going to give Cro Cop a couple more victims before they through him at Liddell.

I think despite Rampage looking less then brilliant in his win, they're going to fast track him at Sylvia, especially if Couture doesn't beat him at UFC 68.. the HW division is slow right now.

The most hilarious part of this is the two announcers signed so far. Mario Lopez (Waiting for the first Saved by the Bell joke), and Bill Goldberg. Um.. hope they have a good MMA guy in the wings.. Thank god it's FRANK Shamrock and Renzo Gracie, we almost had our first Senior MMA event
