Notes:
- I can't say much for my predictions for this event, although I did call a first round knock out for Vitor Belfort. I'm impressed with the way he finished the fight and his explosive style may make for an exciting fight with current Middleweight Champ Anderson Silva. Three guys really impressed me on this card. Junior dos Santos proved he is a top contended in the Heavyweight division. His size and quickness was remarkable, in his first  big fight against an MMA superstar. Look out for this guy. Newcomer, Paul Daley, also made an impression in his UFC debut, finishing top contender Martin Kampmann effortlessly in the first round. It will be interesting to see if he gets an immediate title shot. Finally, up-and-coming light weight Rafael Dos Anjos looked really poised in his fight.
He dominated the entire bout proving to be a contender in the division. His quickness and punching power is remarkable.
I hope he gets to face a top 10 guy in his next fight. Efrain Escudero was another guys that really impressed me last night.
