It is finally over. UFC 84: Ill Will came and went like a shock to the system, Now it is over and done with. Well... for some of these guys, it is definitely over for the rest of the year. A few may be even considering a new career as 
StarBucks baristas. It's definitely safer than letting your face get beat to a pulp. They can at least watch the matches on their iPhones on Yahoo. So, how did it go? Pretty surprising in many ways!
Thiago Silva Vs. Antonio Mendes This one didn't take too long. It was all Mendes for a while there and it looked as though the UFC newbie was going to get his first win. Of course, Thiago had something to say about that with his fists. He got ground control on Mendes and rained down punches. Ground and pound stopped this fight in the first.
Tito Ortiz Vs. Lyoto Machida Ortiz made a name for himself before this event and was trash talking any and everyone. He made sure to burn every bridge he had in the UFC. I guess he figured a win was guaranteed in this match. The first two rounds of this one went to Machida. Tito did not have any answers for Lyoto. It wasn't until the third that Ortiz figured out what he had to do. He landed a bunch of punches and a few knees. But Machida was able to take Tito down and work some ground game on him. Tito almost gets Machida in a triangle but couldn't lock it in. So, what happens to Tito now? Who knows.
Wilson Gouveia Vs. Goran Reljic I said that "Stranger things have happened!" in my last post. Well, this is one of them. Reljic was supposed to go down in a blaze of newbie glory. The first round was a kicking mans dream come true in the Octagon. I really thought that I'd go this whole year without seeing some solid kicking but both Gouveia and Reljic were kicking like wild. In the second round, Gouveia had enough of Goran and was putting him down with some solid punches and kicks. Somehow Reljic took the upper hand and put the hurt on Wilson. The ref gave Wilson the night off and Goran the win.

The UFC has had impressive gains in popularity and pay par view buy rate numbers. Some people think that UFC may give Boxing a one hit knock out.
