UFC 95 Wrap-Up
Last Saturday, February 21, 2009, UFC 95 took place in London's famed O2 Arena, and here's how the headlining competitor's fared:
In a unanimous decision, the main event was decided in favor of Diego Sanchez, who beat up and beat out Joe Stevenson for his first win in his first ever lightweight bout.
In the semi-main event, Dan Hardy knocked out Rory Markham 10 seconds into the second minute of the first round.
Nate Marquardt TKO'd Wilson Gouveia 3 minutes and 10 seconds into round 3 after wearing him seriously down in round 2, landing Marquardt the coveted spot as the next challenger to Anderson Silva's middleweight championship title.
Chael Sonnen came over from the WEC only to lose by submission to undefeated Demian Maia.
One of the greatest surprises, though, came in the opening match of the main card between welterweights Paulo Thiago, in his UFC debut, and Josh Koscheck, in which newcomer Thiago handily knocked out contender Koscheck for a jaw-dropping first UFC win.
