(1) The one thing that both of the contenders in the main event at UFC 108 have in common, is a (1) loss to current 205 lbs Champion Lyoto Machida. Both fighters look to come away with the victory in order to get back into contention for a rematch with the champion to avenge otherwise perfect records.
0452 Mike Goldberg announced that they were going inside the numbers for the main event at (0452)GMT
Rashad Evans -

- Holds the UFC record for most takedowns without being swept
- Former UFC 205lbs Champion
Thiago Silva -
- 12 of 13 wins by strike stoppage
- average UFC fight length 3:48
- 77% takedown defense rate
3 The first round of the main event went to Evans with (3) takedowns and 1 mount. This is a sign that Evans has shifted back to his roots. At then end of the round, Silva's corner told him to stick to the plan, after loosing the first two rounds of the bout.
5 The final (5) minutes of the main event, were that of Thiago Silva. Realising that he was behind, Silva began to drop the hands and excite the crowd. The reason for this was to bate Evans into making mistakes, however with the round victory in 1 and 2 Evans pulls out the win.
If all the events for 2010 are as good as UFC 108 we will have a hell of a good year.
Get ready fight fans!
