Mac Danzig demonstrated that when two elite athletes come together, skill will beat size. The �farm boy�, Tommy Speer, was much bigger than Danzig but seemed a bit overwhelmed -- not only by his opponent but by the atmosphere of a major UFC event. Danzig, who announced that he would move down to the lightweight division no matter what the outcome of the fight, imposed his will and dominated Speer and secured a rear-naked-choke at the 2:01 mark of the first round. In the main event, Clay Guida and Roger Huerta set a furious pace for the first ten minutes of their lightweight bout. Seemingly down to rounds to none, Huerta went all out in the third and landed a huge knee to Guida's chin. Huerta pounced on his stunned opponent and also secured a rear-naked-choke for the victory in the third round. However, the fight of the night belonged to the �War Machine� John Koppenhaver and Jared Rollins. This match-up was made after their infamous incident in the Ultimate Fighter house when Koppenhaver dropped off a gift in the Team Hughes toilet. Rollins confronted Koppenhaver and a physical altercation ensued. Their fight tonight was nothing less than physical. Elbows, cuts, and takedowns were traded and just when it seemed Koppenhaver was gassed, he reversed position and won the fight by technical knock out in the third round. Here are the results:
