    Wow, talk about your upsets with UFC 92 "Ultimate 2008." In all the big fights, everybody favored to win lost. Griffin loses the light heavyweight championship belt to Evans, and it's a little disappointing that Forrest couldn't defend the title. Evans has got a bright future in the sport, while Griffin is still growing and will make a nice comeback. Mir made a historic win by giving Nogueira his very first stoppage in a very long career, which speaks volumes at what is clearly a sign that all the damage Minotauro has gotten throughtout his years has finally caught up. Frank Mir proved that he still has it in him to win back the heavyweight belt, while Minotauro really needs to take a break from fighting to heal all the damage he has taken these past years. As for Jackson vs Silva part 3, Rampage finally got his win against The Axe Murderer with a very decisive knock out punch. I've always said that Wanderlei hasn't been the same iconic fighter he was years ago, since his defeat to Cro Cop in the fall of 2006, while Quinton has only gotten better as the years have gone by. You know the ironic part of this is? Griffin, Nogueira, and Silva all trained together for this night, and they all lost. What's up with that?
