MAIN CARD

Michael Buffer opened the show with his trademark "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" shtick and then it's off to Megadeth.

Megadeth performed "Symphony of Destruction" which is over 15 years old. They still looked and sounded the same. While they were playing, all the fighters who will be fighting tonight came to the ramp, kinda similar to how PRIDE would have all the fighters out a the start of their shows.

The opening for the show aired and John McCarthy has joined Frank Trigg and Jay Glazer at the announce booth.

Michael Buffer is doing the ring announcing.

Mike Pyle (16-5-1) vs. JJ Ambrose (9-1-0)

Round 1 Pyle had Ambrose clinched up early and took Ambrose to the ground. Pyle tried to mount Ambrose and got behind him and got Pyle in an armchoke.He then landed a couple of punches. Pyle is trying to get in a rear naked choke and managed to get it in and Pyle tapped at 2:51 in Round 1.

Winner via tapout (rear naked choke) in 2:51 of Round 1: Mike Pyle

John McCarthy interviewed Mike Pyle afterwards and Pyle said he's ready to fight anyone.

We're back to Glazer, Trigg and McCarthy at ringside and Glazer noted that the promotion was born out of UFC banning Affliction clothing. They went over the card, no mention of Mark Hominick vs. Trenell Young, so that fight might be moved until after the main event. Impressive win for Nogueira.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (13-3-0) vs. Edwin Dewees (35-12-0)

Round 1 Frank Trigg predicted a short night for Dewees. Trigg had handed Dewees his last defeat. Dewees landed some leg kicks on Nogueira. Halfway into the round, Nogueira took Dewees to the ground and got in some punches. The announcers are talking about Dewees like he's some jabroni from the street. Nogueira landed some hard knees and started raining in with punches and referee Herb Dean stops the fight with under a minute left in the round.

Winner via TKO (strikes) at 4:06 in Round 1: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira

John McCarthy was backstage talking about how intense it's getting backstage as Andrei Arlovski was getting his fists taped.

Matt Lindland (20-5-0) vs. Fabio Negao (8-3-0)

Trigg is really no holds barred on commentary. Instead of putting both fighters over, he noted that he felt that Negao is a little overrated.

Round 1: Lindland knocked Negao almost immediately and got in a guillotine. Negao was trying to get out of the choke, but Lindland kept it in. Negao was finally able to get out but Lindland maintained control. With a minute left, they went to their feet but Negao seemed pretty exhausted at this point. Both threw a few punches that didn't seem to do much damage to close the round. If it weren't for the last minute, I'd have scored it 10-8 for Lindland, but as it is, 10-9 Lindland.
