9) Andrey Koreshkov vs. Benson Henderson
for welterweight title
Rnd 1 wow, that was intense. Benson holds his own for most of the 5 min round. At the end though Koreshkov nails him to the cage with a flying knee. Then Henderson is on auto pilot for the last ten seconds.
Rnd 2 and 3 had the same momentum for Koreshkov. In rounds 4 and 5 I felt that Henderson was advancing and getting better in the exchanges. He hacked Koreshkov's lead leg to a pulpy mess, but it wasn't enough to get the judges decision. It goes 5 rounds and the score is 50-45 for Koreshkov.

8) Henry Corrales vs. Patricio Freire
This match goes two arduous rounds. The fans booed at the close of the first round despite Coralles' successful defences against alternating Head and Arm Triangle Chokes the Pitbull was working toward completing.
In the second round Coralles was able to control more of the center of the cage, but in the last minute he was off balance and Pitbull jumped guard and locked on a lethal Guillotine Choke forcing the tap at 4:09.

John MacCarthy calls the doctor in to check the gaping wound. The doctor signals it's to big and the fight is called at 3:11 due to TKO and Bessette gets another impressive win.
