Straight to the results. Nate Diaz started the off the event with a great armbar submission victory over Takanori Gomi, Travis Browne defeated Rob Broughton via unanimous decision, and Mark Hunt defeated Ben Rothwell via unanimous decision. In the co-main event Josh Koscheck defeated UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes via KO at the very end of round 1 (4:59), and in the main event my boy Jon Jones defeated Quinton "Rampage" Jackson via submission with a rear naked choke in round 4 to retain his title.
It is unsure after this event as to if Matt Hughes will retire from fighting. It would be great to see him go out with a bang, but he is getting old and slow. He is apparently still contemplating fighting for the UFC again.
Jon Jones on the other hand, proved to still be improving. It wasnt quick or easy, but he controlled most of his fight with Rampage and submitted him with a fair amount of ease in the 4th round. Next for Jones is Rashad Evans, who I also believe will have a lot of trouble with Jones. With the tension between the two, it should make for a greatly hyped fight.
As for points, Joe and I (Shawn) got 4 points, Jon got 3 points, and Vinny got 2 points.
Standings:
Shawn: 78 points
Joe: 72 points
Vinny: 64 points
Jon: 63 points
