The first round between Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz saw Griffin connect with some low kicks and punches on his feet.  That said, Ortiz hit home with some standing punches too, albeit less, but added a takedown and some ground and pound.  So it was a tough round to call.  In the second, Griffin was taken down twice by Ortiz but definitely looked better than him on his feet and for a few moments at the tail end of the round when he reversed The Huntington Beach Bad Boy on the ground.  That said, the stanza probably should've gone to Ortiz.  The final round clearly went to Griffin, who began to pick his adversary apart on his feet and avoided two takedown attempts.

So who won that first round?  Two of the judges thought it was Forrest Griffin.

You'd be hard-pressed to find two fighters with more potential than Josh Koscheck and Anthony "Rumble" Johnson coming into UFC 106.  Simply put, their fight at UFC 106, in spots, was fun when they were able to exchange heavy shots on the feet.  The problem was that the action kept getting stopped.  First because Johnson kneed his opponent while he was on the ground, which believe it or not caused Koscheck to poke himself in the eye.  Later, the action was stopped because Koscheck then poked Johnson in the eye (not once, but twice).  But soon after those pokes in the second round, the former TUF competitor achieved a takedown on his adversary, and it was only a matter of time before he mounted and then took Johnson's back.  Next up was the rear naked choke, and that was that.

Josh Koscheck wins by rear naked choke at 4:47 of round two.

They call him Antonio Rogerio Minotouro Nogueira.  He's the twin brother of former UFC and PRIDE heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.  If you didn't know him before UFC 106 and saw the event go off, then guess is that you know him now.

After all, he just destroyed one of the UFC's best young talents.

In the end, the story on this fight was simple.  Nogueira landed a left hand that hurt Cane.  Then he landed another couple.  Finally, he put him away with a rocket left that dropped him.  Just like that, folks.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira wins by TKO at 1:56 of round one.
