Main CardJoseph Benavidez (#2) vs. John Moraga (#5)

Round 1:

Official Result: Joseph Benavidez (#2) defeats John Moraga (#5) via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

I'm not sure where Benavidez goes from here. He's lost to the champion twice, and is too small for 135 pounds.

Travis Browne (#3) vs. Andrei Arlovksi (#8)

Round 1:

Arlovski clips Browne early and follows up with huge punches, but Browne recovers. It looked like Arlovski needed that boost of confidence. Browne lands a couple of nice punches, but gets clipped three more times. Browne gets his wits back and scores a leg kick. Arlovski drops Browne with a backhand. Browne drops Arlovski! This is crazy. Arlovski back up and finishes Browne on the feet!

Official Result: Andrei Arlovski (#8) defeats Travis Browne (#3) via TKO (punches) Round 1, 4:41

That was one of the craziest rounds in UFC history. My words can't do it justice. That was guano crazy.

Donald Cerrone (#3) vs. John Makdessi

Round 1:

Cerrone scores a couple of huge leg kicks, then a body kick. He looks two weight classes bigger than Makdessi. A head kick lands for Cerrone, and poor Makdessi looks lost. Cerrone's corner flat out tells Cerrone to play with Makdessi. Cerrone lands a couple of punches, and Makdessi finally gets a body-head hook combo. Makdessi gets a jab, but that motivates Cerrone to land a few big punches of his own. Cerrone is in complete control. Makdessi gets a few punches off to close the round
