Brad Blackburn vs. James Giboo

With both fighters making their UFC debut, Brad Blackburn (red and black trunks) defeated James Giboo with strikes in the second round.

Nate Loughran vs. Johnny Rees

With a nasty cut over his left eye, Nate Loughran (white trunks) held Johnny Rees in two triangle chokes before a third was so deep that Rees' hips were twisted and he had to tap out at 4:21 in the first.

Rory Markham vs. Brodie Farber

With a devastating high kick in the first round, Rory Markham (red-trimmed gloves) knocked out Brodie Farber at 1:37 in the first round.

Tim Credeur vs. Cale Yarbrough

After being eliminated on "The Ultimate Fighter 7," Tim Credeur (red gloves) proved he belongs in the UFC after he sent a clean right hand to Cale Yarbrough's head for a first-round knockout.

C.B. Dolloway vs. Jesse Taylor

C. B. Dollaway (blue gloves) executed his signature move, a Peruvian neck tie, on Jesse Taylor, submitting the once outcasted member of the reality show in the first round.

Kevin Burns vs. Anthony Johnson

The fight ended on a controversial note after Kevin Burns (white trunks) poked Anthony Johnson in the eye. The referee was forced to stop the fight at the 3:35 mark in the third round. The judges still voted in favor of Burns for the win.

Cain Velasquez vs. Jake O'Brien

Extending his UFC record to 4-0, former Arizona State standout wrestler Cain Velasquez (top) defeated Jake O'Brien by TKO at 2:02 in the first round.

Frank Edgar vs. Hermes Franca

In his return bout from a steroid suspension that kept him out of the Octagon since UFC 73, Hermes Franca (bottom) failed to retaliate against the multiple takedowns and punches from Frank Edgar. The judges voted unanimously in favor of Edgar.

Brandon Vera vs. Reese Andy

Dancing around the Octagon for the majority of the fight, light heavyweights Brandon Vera (blue and yellow trunks) and Reese Andy provided a lackluster battle. However, Vera, who owned a four-inch height advantage and dropped down in weight for the bout, did enough to earn a unanimous decision.

Anderson Silva vs. James Irvin

In his first bout at 205 pounds, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (standing) capitalized on James Irvin's only mistake. A high kick by "The Sandman" was caught by Silva, who responded with a right hand that sent Irvin to the mat. After a slew of punches for the TKO victory, "Spider" extended his MMA record to 22-4 to remain undefeated in the UFC.
