While Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson headlined UFC 114, the results show it wasn't the best fight of the night.
Todd Duffee vs Mike Russow - Mike Russow took it into the third round, looking like a man fighting to hold off an inevitable defeat. While both Russow and Duffee were sitting at 253lbs, Duffee was lean and cut, while Russow looked overweight and out of shape. Russow spent the whole fight backpedaling and panting his way through, acting as if his loss was only a matter of time. Then, with a little over two minutes left in the match, he landed a right that started Duffee on the way down, and a followup shot sealed the deal. The third shot, a little smack on the motionless face of Duffee was just for good measure. Duffee's departure fromt he fight was very different from the way he left his last fight, his first UFC match which he won in a record 7 seconds, scoring a knockout blow against Tim Hague.
Michael Bisping vs Dan Miller - This was another slow fight that went the distance. Michael Bisping eventually won by unanimous decision.
Antonio Nogueira vs Jason Brilz - The old addage "Never leave the decision in the hands of the judges." applies here. Nogueira won by a split decision against Jason Brilz, but everyone in attendance knew it was the wrong decision. After the decision was announced, the crowd erupted into chants of "Bull****! Bull****!" as it was evident that Brilz had completely dominated the first two rounds, but had lost the third round. Any idiot could tell you 2 > 1, but the judges appeared to have failed basic math. Regardless, Nogueira came away with the tainted win, and Jason Brilz gained a whole new crew of fans who watched him get robbed.
John Hathaway vs Diego Sanchez - The first fight of the Pay-Per-View segment was the first boring fight we got to watch while paying (There were a couple others in the preliminaries that were on Versus, but Hathaway-Sanchez was the first one we had to pay to see.) Hathaway did land some really nice shots, including a vicious knee to the head in the first round which would have taken most fighters out, but Diego Sanchez held in there and managed to make it to the final bell, before losing in a unanimous decision.
Melvin Guillard vs Waylon Lowe - Guillard was quick off the bell, and managed to KO Lowe in the first round.
Dong Hyun Kim vs Amir Sadollah - Kim by unanimous decision.
Efrain Escudero vs Dan Lauzon - Escudero by unanimous decision.
Cyrille Diabate vs Luiz Cane - Diabete by TKO in the first round.
Aaron Riley vs Joe Brammer - Riley by unanimous decision.
Ryan Jensen vs Jesse Forbes - Jensen submitted Forbes in the first round.
