Random musings on UFC 81

- Tyson Griffin is one helluva fighter. He packs a mean punch despite being only 5'6". You can't doubt the kid's heart. He convincingly beat Brazilian Gleison Tibau via unanimous decision.

- Former WWE superstar Brock Lesnar's UFC debut lasted one round as former heavyweight champion Frank Mir took him out with a knee bar. Kudos to Mir as Lesnar did land some deadly blows to his head, but was able to finish him off with the submission.

- I'm still amazed on Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira's comeback win over another former heavyweight champion Tim "The Maniac" Sylvia. Sylvia had Nogueira on the ropes early in the fight with some vicous strikes. It opened a deep wound and had Minotauro oozing blood from his face. He was able to bounce back and make The Maniac tap out with a masterful guillotine choke in the third round.
