Bennett did say it was good news for Silva, the UFC and the sport.

"We're happy to get these results," he said.

^WTF? I don't get it.

So, Melvin Manhoef was knocked out in spectacular fashion again at Bellator 133 last night:

I feel bad for him. He should seriously consider hanging them up.

He probably won't, but he probably should.

RULES
The competition area will be 8-meter diameter and 60 cm high circle stage with no ropes or cage, with a possible moat of water surrounding it. There will be 3 rounds of 3 minutes each, with 1 round extension, 1 minute between each round. However, the time and number of rounds may be changed if both sides agree.
Competition clothing will be provided as a sleeveless top and two trousers to choose from. Supporting gear will be determined or approved by officials. MMA gloves will be used.
A fighter can win by KO, TKO, opponent’s submission, or three judge decision. Additionally, a win can come by TKO fall, if one opponent falls off the stage 3 times in one round. In scoring, a fighter loses points for receiving damage or falling/being thrown and subsequently off the stage.
Techniques not allowed include the usual, plus no head kicks or stomps to a grounded opponent, and no chokes to a grounded opponent. Allowed strikes include the usual, plus elbows and head butts. Standing grappling is allowed but will be a break when it takes place on the ground.

Those are some crazy ass rules! With Minowa and Douwes in the tournament I'm definitely going to watch this.

UFC 187 could become the next (attempt) as a mega event. Look at that stacked card so far. Now please, UFC, don't fill the rest of the cards with nonames or something. 5-6 more fun fights and this could become a big, big event.

Agreed.

I just hope injuries won't ruin another event.
