Main Card

Josh Koscheck vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida:Too much too soon for Yoshida, he said in the pre fight interview he was looking for the looping right that Kos likes to throw, but he forgot to look for the straight right which landed flush on the face of Yoshida, he was basically KO’d fron the first punch but still standing and the second one floored him face first and it was all over

Mike Swick vs Jonathan Goulet:
Swick came out firing, and caught Goulet on his glass chin, TKO’ing him in less than a minute
Steve Cantwell vs Razak Al Hassan:Al Hassan came out stalking Cantwell, landing decent punches and keeping the pressure on. Cantwell countered nicely, and worked the the fight to the ground where he sunck in a deep armbar, Al Hassan wouldn’t tab and his arm clearly broke, promting the referee to step in and stop the fight.
Tim Credur vs Nate Loughran:Credur showed his superiority in the standup game, battering Loughran with punches until he was forced to quit after the second round because of a rib injury
Matt Wiman vs Jim Miller: Wiman ran into a buzz saw in Miller, who dominated from start to finish. Wiman showed a good chin and a good guard, but little else as Miller scored a unanimous decision 30-27,30-26,30-27

Light Heavyweight Matt Hamil will look to rebound from his less than impressive performance against Rich Franklin when he takes on Reese Andy at UFC 92. Hamil has world class wrestling skills, but stood in front of Franklin and fought a kickboxing match against the superior striker, he was game, but was ultimately KO’d by a liver kick. Reese Andy made his UFC debut against Brandon Vera,and lost a unanimous decision in a lackluster fight. If Hamil uses his wrestling to take the fight to the mat, he should be able to dominate Andy.
