Coming into their UFC on FX 8 bout, Vitor Belfort was known as the man who could take anyone out in the first round. On the flip side, Luke Rockhold was looking like the future in the division. But was the future now?

Get ready, get set, go!

Early on, Rockhold pressed forward, slipping to the ground after trying a kick. He got right back up and kept moving forward. Belfort missed a spinning hook kick. Rockhold shot on his opponent, but his attempt was easily shirked. Then the longtime UFC fighter threw a flurry that caught his adversary some. Two front leg round house kicks by the former Strikeforce champ, with one landing. Then he connected with a hook to Belfort. Low kick by Belfort. Solid left hand by Rockhold, then a mild low kick. But then Belfort did what Belfort does. This time, however, his blitzkrieg knockout was a little bit different.

Simply put, Belfort landed a hard spinning hook kick that dropped Rockhold. From there, "The Phenom" became the shark that he is, landing multiple punches on the ground until the referee had no choice but to step in.

Vitor Belfort defeats Luke Rockhold by KO at 2:32 of round one.

Originally, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu superstar Ronald "Jacare" Souza was supposed to take on Costa Philippou at the UFC on FX 8.  But as has been the case so many times with recent UFC events, the injury bug hit (Philippou, that is).  That put Chris Camozzi in front of Souza.  Would he be able to pull off the upset?

Get ready, get set, go!

Early on, Souza landed a solid right counter off of a couple of Camozzi jabs. Then came another hard Souza right. Then Jacare forced a clinch, pressing Camozzi into the cage wall. The two separated. Jacare landed a hard right hand that seemed to dizzy his opponent, before moving inside and tripping him to the canvas. From there, Souza continually transitioned to different attempt at moving to side control and the mount, eventually landing an omoplata to gain a better position, as well as achieving side control. Camozzi was tough. But Souza, one of the great Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners in the world, was simply too good on the ground. Along with this, he eventually sunk in the arm triangle choke and that was that.

Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza defeats Chris Camozzi by arm triangle choke at 3:37 of round one.

Phil Davis vs. Vinny Magalhaes.  The bottom line is that there was a lot of pre-fight chatter before this one.  Here's what happened when these two really threw down at UFC 159.

Early on, the two traded grazing strikes until Magalhaes landed two low kicks. Then came another a short time later. The two clinched until such time as Davis pushed his adversary away. Davis then followed up a grazing combination with a high kick that dizzied his opponent. The former Penn State wrestler landed several punches in spots before Magalhaes recovered, took Davis down, and took his back. But Davis managed to get to his feet moments later. And although Magalhaes managed to land a couple of solid low kicks along the way, Davis connected with multiple punches for the rest of the round on his way to winning the stanza.

The second round saw Davis begin by controlling things with his boxing, netting a quick takedown along the way. They came to their feet in a hastened manner, with Davis continuing to connect with punches on his adversary. In fact, that was the story on the round- Davis out-boxed his opponent and even took him down again. Magalhaes needs a stoppage in round three for victory.

Round three saw Davis clearly outdo his opponent with better boxing. Just a sound victory by Davis.

Phil Davis defeats Vinny Magalhaes by unanimous decision.
