Unfortunately for those that decided not to tune in, you missed a hand full of exciting fights. Nate Quarry and Chris Leban were both on the brink of defeat in their fights, but both managed to dig deep and pull out surprising knockouts.
Kenny Florian continues to show his ever improving MMA game, finishing Din Thomas in a Rear Naked Choke in the 1st Round. Florian stated after the fight that he makes it a point to finish his fights, perhaps again taking another jab at current UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk, who has won his last three fights by uneventful decisions.
This is the second time that Florian has made this comment after a fight, making a similar statement after his last victory over Alvin Robinson at UFC 73. ?Coincidentally,? Sherk had just Lay N? Prayed his way to a five round unanimous decision over Hermes Franca right before Florian?s fight. Thomas seemed to have hurt his knee when he shot on Florian, allowing Florian to set up the choke.
