Final Thoughts:

  • Chan Sung Jung earned a $75,000 Knockout of the Night bonus for his 7 second KO of Mark Hominick.  Jung tied the record for the fastest KO in UFC history.
  • Frank Mir picked up the Submission of the Night award and the $75,000 bonus that goes with it.  What makes this result even more impressive is that Mir had been tagged hard and looked to be on his way to a loss.  When Mir was knocked to the canvas, Nog went down to finish him.  Mir grabbed one of Nog’s arms and went into a kimura that either broke or dislocated Nog’s arm.
  • Jon Jones and Lyoto Machida earned Fight of the Night honors and $75K each.  Machida won the first round and in the second, Jones ended it.
  • After the fights, there were rumors that Alistair Overeem was going to have to pull out of his December 30th fight against Brock Lesnar.  Overeem has denied that his fight with Lesnar is off, although Overeem flew back to Holland to be with his mother who is battling cancer. Frank Mir has been listed as a possible replacement.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
