"Fight of the Night" landed in the laps of heavyweight icons Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Randy Couture. The two battled through three rounds with the Brazilian coming out on top of a phenomenal fight.
Nate Marquardt may have earned a shot at middleweight champion Anderson Silva with his performance, although Silva's camp is insisting on a Henderson vs. Marquardt bout first, but he definitely got the $60,000 bonus for "Knockout of the Night," decimating Demian Maia on Saturday night.
Battling through two tough rounds against hometown hero Chris Leben, it was former NCAA champion wrestler Jake Rosholt who picked up the "Submission of the Night" with a head and arm triangle that put the former "Ultimate Fighter" to sleep to get the win.
The card brought 16,088 fans into the Rose Garden Arena for the show, with a live gate of $1.92 million. The gate was one of the top five in Oregon history for a live event.
