Shane Carwin delivered the knockout of the night with huge uppercuts that dropped Frank Mir. Carwin continued the assault with huge right hands on the ground that knocked Mir unconscious long before referee Dan Miragliotta intervened to stop the bout. UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar entered the ocatagon after the fight and called Carwin’s interim title a “make believe belt,” they are expected to collide on July 3.

Kurt Pellegrino and Fabricio Camoes had an exciting fight that displayed both competitors tremendous grappling abilities. Pellegrino did not disappoint his home-state New Jersey crowd and finished Camoes in the second round with a rear-naked choke.

Jim Miller won a unanimous decision over Mark Bocek (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) in a very close fight that could have easily gone the other way.

Saunders had stepped in on Thursday after Thiago Alves was unable to pass pre-fight medical exams.

Nate Diaz took care of Rory Markham in a bout that was officially in the middleweight division after Markham failed to cut to 170lbs. Diaz was able to land more strikes on Markham and finished him with some ground and pound. Ricardo Almeida and Matt Brown battled through the first round but Almeida was able to expertly apply a rear-naked choke to force the second round submission.

After Vitor Belfort dropped out of his scheduled April 12 title bout against Anderson Silva, many wondered who would get the next middleweight title shot. Demian Maia was granted the opportunity which did not bother Marquardt who knocked out Maia in twenty-one seconds. “Even though I beat him, he has two recent wins under his belt against tough guys so I think he’s as deserving as anyone,” Marquardt said of Maia. Although deserving, Marquardt did not give Maia much of a chance against the champion, Anderson Silva. “I think Demian’s one of those fighters who will really go for the submission. It seems like in the past that’s been one of Anderson’s weaknesses but I saw him fight Thales Leites and he pretty much nullified him,” said Marquardt. “It wasn’t a very exciting fight but he followed his game-plan and Thales wasn’t able to do anything. If he’s (Silva) able to do the same with Demian (Maia) where Demian’s not able to take him down, then he’s definitely going to win that fight. “

Nate “The Great” has recently been spending time in Montreal, training with UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre for his upcoming title defence against Dan Hardy. Marquardt weighed in on Hardy’s chances against GSP, “He’s a tough up-and-comer. I think he’s got a puncher’s chance, at best. I think Georges is a way better fighter. Georges is the best of the best, the best of the A level fighters. I think Dan is probably a decent B level fighter,” Marquardt said of Hardy. Georges St-Pierre may be one of the best mixed-martial artists in the world but his training partner continues to see improvement. “He’s always been a very well-rounded fighter, but it seems to me like his finishes are getting a lot better, his striking finishes or his submissions,” Marquardt said. “He’s always had very good control with his wrestling, just a dominant position. He’s quick on his feet, he’s got a good jab, so he can control the fight a lot and I think he’s made a big improvement on being able to finish the fight.“ Though St-Pierre may be the heavy favourite, Marquardt knows that heavy favourites sometimes lose and warns GSP to stay focused, “I think Georges has to take this fight seriously. You have to take any fight seriously especially when you’re dealing with a guy that’s got knock out power. “
