Lightweight bout: Roger Huerta vs. John Halverson

Huerta defeats Halverson by technical knockout due to strikes from the back mount at :19 in round one.

In the post-fight interview, Huerta asserted that the knee actually landed on Halverson's shoulder, which is a legal target for knee strikes to grounded opponents.[8]

Middleweight bout: Anderson Silva vs. Travis Lutter

In the main event of the evening, Anderson Silva defeats Travis Lutter by submission at 2:11 in round two. A combination of a triangle choke and elbow strikes, which Silva delivered to the top of Lutter's head, caused the tapout.[9] Lutter contends that the triangle choke was the chief factor in causing the tapout: "But I tapped because of the choke. I was going to sleep. I'm not beat up at all."[10] The bout, originally scheduled to be a title defense for Silva, was changed to a non-title match when Lutter failed to weigh in at the contracted weight for the title fight.
