UFC 161 RESULTS: Rashad Evans Edges Dan Henderson, Stipe Miocic Clean Sweeps Roy Nelson on Scorecards - 6/15/13

The Ultimate Fighting Championship presented UFC 161: Evans vs Henderson on Saturday, June 15, 2013, at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

In the main event, a fight that started out with third-billing before taking over headlining duties after two fights were canceled due to injuries, former UFC light heavyweight champion "Suga" Rashad Evans returned to his winning ways with a split decision victory over one of his MMA idols, Dan "Hendo" Henderson. Evans was coming off back-to-back losses, but has now resurrected his career and his standing in the 205-pound division with this win over top contender Henderson.

In the co-main event, Stipe Miocic shocked the MMA world with a clean sweep unanimous decision victory over Top 10 heavyweight Roy "Big Country" Nelson. This loss throws a significant monkey wrench into Nelson's plans, as this was the final fight of his current UFC contract. Nelson and UFC President Dana White have butted heads since the portly rabble-rouser joined the organization after winning The Ultimate Fighter 10. Nelson had been riding a 3-fight winning streak, but now he goes into contract negotiations coming off an embarrassing loss. Given White's complete disdain for Nelson, it would not be surprising if Nelson's next fight takes place outside of the heralded Octagon.

In other main card action, Ryan "The Big Deal" Jimmo returned to his boring roots to win a dreadfully dull decision over Igor Pokrajac; Alexis "Ally-Gator" Davis outpointed Rosi "The Surgeon" Sexton in yet another exciting UFC women's bout (there has yet to be a bad fight in the UFC between women); and Shawn "The Savage" Jordan lived up to his nickname with a 59-second TKO victory over UFC mainstay and fan favorite Pat "HD" Barry.

With the exception of James Krause's submission win over Sam Stout that came with a mere 13 seconds left to go in their fight, all of the preliminary bouts went the distance. And with the exception of Jake Shields' mind-numbingly boring clinch-fest decision win over Tyron Woodley, all of the prelims featured quality MMA action.

In the main event, former WWE superstar Bobby Lashley returned from a long layoff of his own.

CAGE WARRIORS 55 RESULTS: Cathal Pendred Takes Out Che Mills, Neil Seery Captures Vacant Flyweight Title - 6/1/13

The United Kingdom's top MMA promotion, Cage Warriors Fighting Championship, presented Cage Warriors 55: Pendred vs Mills on Saturday, June 1, 2013, at The Helix in Dublin, Ireland.

In the main event, Cage Warriors Welterweight Champion Cathal "The Punisher" Pendred scored a third-round TKO victory over former UFC fighter Che Mills. The bout was originally supposed to be for Pendred's 170-pound title, however, Mills missed weight by 0.7 pounds, so the promotion was forced to change the contest to a 3-round, non-title fight. Pendred was pounding away at Mills with punches on the ground in the third round, when Mills indicated that he had suffered a shoulder injury. The ref stepped in to stop the fight as Mills' corner was throwing in the towel.

Legacy Fighting Championship presented Legacy 20: Prater vs Ferreira on Friday, May 31, 2013, at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. The main card aired live on AXS TV.

In the main event, undefeated Brazilian lightweight Carlos Diego Ferreira won a clear-cut unanimous decision over former UFC fighter Carlo "Neo" Prater. Fellow former UFC fighter Damacio "The Angel of Death" Page snapped a 4-fight losing streak with a one-punch knockout of previously unbeaten bantamweight Patrick Ybarra in the co-main event.

Turkish flyweight Alp Ozkilic scored the biggest win of his MMA career with a 30-second TKO victory over former WEC mainstay Antonio Banuelos, whose transition to 125-pounds has been disastrous. Banuelos is 0-2-1 since dropping down to flyweight in late 2012. The former top-ranked bantamweight is likely contemplating a move back up to 135-pounds.
