Thiago Santos defeated Anthony Smith via TKO in round 2. This fight was definitely not going the distance that’s what Thiago Santos did; relentlessly putting pressure on Smith and giving no room for recovery. In the first round, Santos landed two huge head kicks but Smith was still in the game. But in the second Santos landed a liver kick that sent Smith crumbling to the ground and from there Santos unleashed non-stop strikes as Smith held on to the legs of Santos. The referee had seen enough and stopped the fight at 1:03 secs.

Lyoto Machida defeated Erik Anders via split decision. Ya Boy Erik Anders got what he asked for – an experience veteran who put on an intelligent fight strategy taking Anders to the fifth and final round. Erik had limited success in the early rounds as he landed a straight left ad stunned Machida. But on the scorecards, Machida was ahead as he landed more significant strikes than the younger Aanders. Machida showcased an improved game plan and as he got back to his karate roots displaying more leg kicks. He clearly lacked the punching power but his volume striking got him the win.
