The CroCop fight was actually the "main event" because it came off last. But yea there was major controversy in the marquee fight. JZ Calvancante and Shinya Aoki ended in a no-contest. Both guys are 2 of the top Lightweights in the world so I was pretty pumped for the fight. Anyways, JZ ended up hitting Aoki in the back of the head with elbows and Aoki couldn't continue. So the bout was a no-contest. Very crappy end to a much anticipated fight.

Yea, I'm not a Sylvia fan but I think he does have a place in the UFC. He can still beat legitimate HWs(Vera for example) and the UFC HW division is still pretty thin considering Randy is on the sidelines, CroCop is gone, and Arlovski is on his way out.
I think Dana is letting him go because he thinks Tim can no longer sell a PPV by himself. I think that's a fair point, you can't pay a guy top level money if he's not going to make you money. That's the business side view of it at least.
