A round up of a great night of fights
Cruz vs. Faber II:
If you are a hardcore combat sports fan, yesterday was your day. On the other side of the world in Germany, the boxing match between Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye was one of the most anticipated heavyweight fights in recent memory. However, the bout didn’t live up to any of its hype leaving many fight fans disappointed. UFC 132 in Los Vegas on the other hand provided Mixed Martial Arts fans with plenty of action and the highest profile Bantamweight title fight in the
(“I am ashamed to admit that along the way I lost sight of what is truly important [in] life.”)…
Well, Cris “Cyborg” Santos is officially a free agent, which either means that Strikeforce was unwilling to pay her what…
March 24th, 2007. That’s a day that changed Dominick Cruz as a mixed martial artist. He went into the fight a young kid going up against arguably the best Featherweight in the world (Norifumi Yamamoto was still the “other one”). Dominick came out a man on a mission. Fast forward to August 9th, 2009, Cruz’s first fight with Urijah Faber protege’ Joseph Benavidez. Cruz was once again the underdog, but the fight played out completely different this time.

Cheick Kongo vs. Pat Barry:
This fight was originally supposed to be the co-main event of the evening but was promoted to the main event. Many fans were expecting a K-1 kickboxing match but with MMA gloves and that was exactly what happened. There were moments when you thought the fight was going to end and Pat Barry would have his hand raised in victory, but it turned into one of the greatest comebacks in MMA history. When Cheick Kongo seemed to be down and out after being rocked by Barry, he comes back
Right now details of why Nate Marquardt was removed from the main event of the UFC on Versus 4 card are murky. But what we can confirm at this moment is that the UFC knew Nate for six weeks prior to the event that he may have a medical issue that would prevent him from competing in the card. The executive director of the Pennsylvania Atheltic Commission Greg Sirb spoke to MMAWeekly.com and had this to say:
“Nate has known for probably about a month and a half. He knew the situation. It was no
