Tavares vs Griffin!:
The lightweight divison is consdered by many to be the most exciting and this match was even slightly better than the three featured bouts!Unbeleivable!
Knockout?:
The funny thing about naming a card Knockout is that it produced no knockouts the entire night. Mostly decisions and a few subs. The undercard fights actually produced a few nice submissions. The main cards were a little underwhelming. What saves this card and raises it sky high is the Shogun/Forrest Griffin fight. Not since the first Tyson/Holyfield fight have I found myself jumping out of my seat during a match. That one I can watch over and over.
