Round 2: Jackson opens up with a combo, but Evans ducks them and pushes Jackson into the cage. The crowd boos it, but if Jackson can't work his way free, that's where he deserves to be. An uppercut frees him a few seconds later, though. Back to the middle of the cage. Jackson manages to throw one punch, and Evans bull-rushes him to the fence again. This strategy is a smart place, though not exciting as the fans grow restless. Herb Dean breaks them apart. Rampage is looking to counter, but Evans hits and gets out.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira def. Jason Brilz by split decision

What fight were they watching ?

[RhacHead]

Rashad exicuted his game plan to a T,but I believe that one has to please the fans and that was one BORING match to watch.Two guys cuddling against a fence c'mon...
How about Brilz? I could be biased since he and I are both frim Omaha but I thought he won the first 2 rounds if not all three.I don't know where they get these"judges" but between that call and Machita vs Shogun #1 I'm starting to think either
A) There are some backroom bribes
B) they need to get an eye exam
(End soap box rant)

P.s. I loved the play by play
