We missed it Sat night b/c we went to the Titans game. Who won? I really want to know how the Forrest Griffin/Stephan Bonnar fight was.

The Bonnar vs. Griffin fight was pretty good, not as good as the first, but pretty good none the less. It seemed like both of them were pretty hesitant to throw the first round. They were really playing it safe but then they started to let it go in the second and third rounds. Forest got the better of the standup with his punches being more crisp and down the middle. Bonnar was throwing a lot of hooks and over hands and he did connect with a lot of them. It was another bloody fight like the first one but this time Forrest didn't get his nose broke. I was really hoping to see this fight go to the ground some. I wanted to see how their ground games stacked up against each other. I wanted to see if Stefan could submit Forrrest because he is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black belt under The great Carlson Gracie(RiP). The fight never went to the ground though so we will never know unless there is a third fight but since Bonnar did not win this time there is no need for a rubber match.

I watched it! Forrest won a unanimous decision over Stephan, but it wasn't nearly as exciting as the first fight. I'm a Griffin fan and he fought well. I've been disappointed in Bonnar, he lookded awful losing to Rashard Evans.
The Iceman clocked Renato Sobral and won by knockout early in the first round. The other fights were okay, the most impressive fighter other than Liddell was Nick Diaz who defeated Josh Neer by submission.

Yes. Griffin won by Unanimous Decision. All three judges scored the fight 27-30. (Even Forrest was surprised to find out all judges scored the second round in his favor.) There was a tiny, little bit of blood. It was a good fight, but not nearly as good as the first fight between the two.
Liddell won against Babalou by TKO punch during the 95th second of the first round. Hermes Franca colored his hair green with black stripes and won his match. (It was also his birthday.)
Nick Diaz was back to his original form and beat Neer by Kimora.
Cheick Kongo, Gouveia, David Heath, MacDonald, and Okami also won their matches.

I saw it. It made up for UFC 60 and 61. Griffin won by unanimous descision and Chuck ko'ed Babalu. Diaz submitted Neer (kimura) Chieck Kongo knocked out Christian Wellisch, and Hermes Franca submitted Jamie Varner (arm bar). This fight card was the most exciting since UFC 47 (Liddell and Ortiz).

I was glad to see Diaz win. He is a very good fighter and really needed one. He has been so close in a few of his last losses and he really seems to be a very good sportsman.
