Pitbull claim for a title shot

Main Event

Another big night for Brazilian fighters at UFC®. In the main event of the night Thiago Alves beated up Matt Hughes by a lot, with a flying knee Thiago knocked down the former champion.
“He’s a good fighter, he got me, no doubt about it,” said Hughes.
Thiago Alves said “I want to apologize for not making weight. I had a sprained ankle a few days before the fight and wasn’t able to train.”

Illegal moves

Thales Leite performed a very good presentation in his fight. The down side of the fight was that Nate Marquarst lost 2 points because illegal hits. The first time he hit Leite with his knee while Thales without defense was knelling and the second time Nate hit the back of Leites’ head after the referee had gave him a warning. Thales won by Split Decision.

Easy fight vs complaint

Fabricio Verdum’s fight was very easy against Brandon Vera. Although Vera started the fight very aggressively, Fabricio mounted him and finished the fight in the first round. Vera complained a lot because he said he was OK when the referee stopped the fight.
