Sanchez by Unanimous Decision
Good exchanges early. Great takedowns by Thiago. Went for the submission at least four times. Throwing good shots end of the first.
Thiago agressive early in the 2nd. Sanchez countered and went for the takedown and ended up sitting on his chest in the middle of the ring.
Referee seperates them, and then Thiago nearly gets a Kimura.
Crazy grappling on the feet and Sanchez gets the most insane slam I've ever seen! Look for the shot of the expression on his face in every UFC highlights package from now 'til the end of time.
Great exchange to finish the round.
Thiago goes for a takedown to start the third, but looks tired and Diego ends up on top. Thiago goes for the Kimura again. Sanchez gets his back with a body triangle. Thiago slips out but SAnchez chases him across the ring and ends up on top again. Thiago nearly gets a d'arce choke, but Diego pops out. All Sanchez on top throwing shots to the final buzzer.
Wow. What a fight. Diego has never looked better.

Shields by split decision
Pretty even first round. Real mixture of striking and grappling. Kampmann had good counters for a lot of Jake's takedown attempts.
Kampmann gets a big knee early and goes for a choke, but it dowsn't seem to worry Shields, who eventually ends up on top.
Kampmann gets up and lands some hard knees in the clinch, but again Shields ends up on the top on the ground.
Shields seems by far the more tired of the two at the start of the 3rd. That brtutal weight cut seems to be taking its toll.
Kampann controlling the ground game. Strong choke attempts but can't get it. Shields gets hits back and the final round finishes in that position.
Crowd booing again. Ignorant punks.

Kudos to Lesnar for shoving one of the walk-in guards out of the way. Been waiting for someone to do that for two years now.
