Forrest Griffin Vs Rashad Evans 27th December 2008

Well this was one of my favourite fights. Rashad came out confident as ever and produced a champion worthy performance. Thing i liked about this fight was after when both fighters showed a tremendous amount of respect for each other. Griffin admitted defeat and praised the new champion. I thought this was very big of him. People get the impression that cage fighting is a dog sport kinda thing. But in the UFC and similar companies the main concern is the fighters health, not money. I think those guys that diss mma should actually read into before they judge the athletes that do it. But anyways enough ranting, great fight and the better fighter won on the night. Other great fights at UFC 92 was Wanderlei Silva Vs Rampage Jackson III. Another amazing fight! Rampage came out the victor in this one though. But the best fight of the night had to be Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Vs Frank Mir for the interim Heavyweight championship. Frank Mir knocked Nogueria out to take the belt and came out with something very controversial. He told Lesnar he was gonna make him famous with a break when they fight again. Lesnar laughed it off at ringside. Mir also said "I've never been more afraid then when I walked into the ring tonight." Such a classy guy. Also another good show of sportsmanship after the fight. All in all this was a great night for the UFC.
