Josh Koscheck gave Chris Lytle, for which Lytle was paid a mere 14 grand. Lytle got his face broken to pieces and his head emptied of blood, but hey, now he can buy a Camry. Well, a used Camry.

Well, the fighters are also making money off of advertising revenue. Their pants are advertised up like Nascars. The UFC provides insures them for whatever medical injuries they receive during the bouts.

Koscheck is a bore. I cant stand when wrestlers get control and just lay there and land the occasional shot just to not get stood up. Even with the cut, it was probably the worst fight of the night.

Rampage went on a rampage and got taken down at gunpoint in Costa Mesa, CA. Rampage is gonna have to spend a big chunk of the $285,000 he earned at UFC86 on legal fees to get his dumb ass out of this one.

While I agree that Koscheck is a bore, I think this was one of the better fights of the night. IMO, the Gump/Rampage fight wasn't as good as this one. I was surprised that the ref didn't stop this massacre in the 2nd round.
