FIrst fight: JT Money v. CB Dalloway.
JT Definately controled most of the fight in my opinion, but he needs to work on his defense. JT let CB get on his back a couple times and it lost him the match. I think JT could do well in the UFC with some more training, still not a fan of CB. CB's illegal knee to JT's face while JT was on the ground definitely isn't helping him with his fan base.

I guess anybody watching it for free can comment here.
It was wild to see Paul Buentello and Gary Goodrich duking it out. Talk about some old school guys, these guys were both on the old UFC Dreamcast game.
Vitor Belfort looked pretty strong making his MW debut, knocking out Terry Martin. He was quick on his feet (which is where 95% of the fight took place).
