Justin Buchholz (155) vs. Corey Hill (155)
Dennis Siver (155) vs. Melvin Guillard (155)
Cole Miller (155) vs. Jorge Gurgel (155)
Justin McCully (236) vs. Gabriel Gonzaga (249)
Gonzaga gets a nice pop from the Vegas crowd despite McCully waving an American flag bandana. Neither fighter wanted to break the staredown when Dana patted them on the back, but they backed down simultaneously after the second time.
Gleison Tibau (156) vs. Joe Stevenson (155)
Marcus Aurelio (155) vs. Tyson Griffin (155)
Chris Lytle (170) vs. Josh Koschek (170)
Kos gets booed!
Ricardo Almeida (185) vs. Patrick Cote (185)
Cote looks great. During the staredown, Bruce Buffer in the background puts an arm around Renzo Gracie (who’ll be in Almeida’s corner) for some unknown reason.
Forrest Griffin (205) vs. Quinton Jackson (205)
Before hitting the scales, “Rampage” informs Joe Rogan that he’s wearing scratch’n’sniff underwear. Forrest is clearly in no mood to chat and cuts the post-scale interview with Rogan short.
Yahoo accidentally leaves the audio stream running for a little while after the video is cut, and we’re treated to Joe Rogan inexplicably testing the microphone (which he’s just gotten through using) by quoting Wreckx-N-Effect’s “Rump Shaker.” Now I’m ready for some fights!
