Have I missed the thread on this? I recorded it so it may have already dropped off the page
Our own Dan Hardy had won at just over 1 minute. To be fair it wasnt a great fight. But Dan did what he set out to do. Rory Markham didnt really know what day it was!
It was the only really massive punch of the fight but it was a cracker!
Well done Dan!

Dan deserves all the success he's getting.
Great guy and a very gifted fighter.
Can't wait to see who's next.

Was an awesome night at the O2. Great entertainment all night, only 2 fights went the distance and one other was stopped in the 3rd round. Every other fight was stopped in the 1st round so there was submissions, TKOs and KOs a plenty!! I thought Dan was very unlucky not to get KO of the night to be honest. I know Josh Koscheck would agree with me as he feels the ref shouldn't have stopped the fight after he was floored!!

Koscheck needs to watch his own fight again.
He was out. Marc Goddard made the right decision, fight over!
It was a good night - atmosphere wasn't as good as recent UFCs though.

Now is it me or was that the worst UFC event in a loooooong time?
Stephenson Vs Sanchez isn't a main event - there wasn't even a title at stake.
The other fights were average at best.
Come on Dana, sort it out.
On the good news though, good to see Hardy and the skinny scouser kicking ass! Hopefully both will have long, successful, UFC careers.
Hope they are both in TUF this year as we are going to need all the help we can get if Ross Pointon makes the team!

I really don't know what more you wanted from UFC 95 - many are calling it the best event for a loooooooong time.
It had lots of great fights - the prelims were entertaining enough on their own.
You had the fighter with the slickest jiujitsu in MMA, pulling off another incredible sub, British fighters impressing - one with a brutal knockout, one with amazing thai skills and one with great boxing, wrestling and ground and pound.
You had Stefan Struve - one of the most promising young fighters in the world - up against a very highly touted Brazilian.
You had Koscheck, a genuine contender, getting knocked out for the upset of the night.
Nate Marquadt, one of the most entertaining fighters in the world, finishing a fight with a brilliant sequence.
I prefer to see fights finished, than go to the judges, so for me UFC 95 was perfect.
Two decisions, two submissions (both excellent) and SIX TKO or KOs.
And why would Hardy and Etim be on TUF? It's a show to win a UFC contract...both of them are IN contracts.
The team is full of good British fighters.

Unfortunately the UK isnt seen as a big enough draw for the UFC and i can see it being a long time before Dana spens a hugh wad of cash on bringing over some bonafide ufc legends over here, i also feel if it wasnt for Bispings popularity we may not even have had as good a fight card as we did for UFC 95

It wasn't a ppv, so the ufc won't be getting the same kind of money for putting it on, so you would expect a lesser main event without the biggest stars. But I for one will take that kind of pay off in order for them to keep coming back often. I love Maia, his submissions are mental, the way he threw him and immediatly got him into the triangle was sweet. Id like to see a Marquardt-Franklin showdown after Franklin-Wanderlei at 195lb.
