KJ Noons vs. Donald Cerrone at UFC 160. What else is there to say? Here's how it all went down.

Early on, Noons started out with several low kicks. Good front kick to the body by Cerrone. Then "Cowboy" came inside and landed a solid knee on his adversary. And through the halfway mark, Noons was using solid low kicks and body punches, while Cerrone landed sporadic but hard kicks to the body and a couple of punches to the face. That's when Cerrone achieved a short lived takedown and things changed some. The second half of the round saw Cerrone land the harder shots, including kicks, on his adversary. And for that, you have to give the round to "Cowboy" (there is a cut somewhere on Noons' face).

Early in round two, Cerrone netted another short lived takedown. And for the majority of the rest of the stanza, the two traded strikes of all varieties with Cerrone's simply being more powerful. That plus a late takedown made it so that Noons needed a stoppage in order to win in round three.

The third round saw Cerrone nab another takedown after some exchanges. From there, it was a ground and pound nightmare for Noons, with tons of elbows and a lot of blood.

Great day for Cerrone.

Donald Cerrone defeats KJ Noons by unanimous decision.

Robert Whittaker Defeats Colton Smith

Robert Whittaker won TUF: Smashes. Colton Smith won TUF 16. Pretty cool match up at UFC 160, right? Check out what happened here.

With his left hand very low, early on, Whittaker managed to land several jabs, a right hand or two, and generally shirked Smith's takedowns. Smith hit home with a hard right hand at about the 3 and a half minute mark. And for the majority of the round, the story was Whittaker's solid jab and ability to shirk Smith's takedowns. But the bottom line on the end of the stanza was that Smith hit home with a hard right hand that dropped his adversary, nearly leading to a kimura for the American fighter. Whittaker got out, but the big shot may have won the round for his adversary.

Starting off the UFC 160 televised prelims was a bout between Russian Sambo practitioner Khabib Nurmagomedov and Abel Trujillo. Would Nurmagomedov keep winning? Or would Trujillo come through?

Get ready, get set, go!

Early on, the two fighters were cautious, before Trujillo came inside with a hard punch that missed. After a full minute had gone by, Trujillo landed a solid left hand to the face after moving in very quickly (he moves quite fast!). Soon after, Trujillo managed a takedown. But Nurmagomedov quickly grabbed an arm and nearly pulled something off with it, prompting Trujillo back to his feet. Moments later, Nurmagomedov took his opponent down to the canvas, taking his back. Trujillo got up, but was put right back down. Same thing happened again, with Nurmagomedov riding his back. Same thing happened again; yep- that's three times. Then came a fourth, and fifth time. Six times, seven times, eight times, before Trujillo turned things over and took the top position. But Nurmagomedov locked in a triangle choke attempt soon after. Trujillo rolled over trying to get out, which led to a Nurmagomedov armbar attempt; then a very tight triangle. To be honest, it looked like the bell saved Trujillo.

Nurmagomedov takes round one based on takedowns and submission attempts.

Early in the second round, Nurmagomedov landed a hard left-right combination. Nurmagomedov then took Trujillo down from behind again, only to watch Trujillo spin out and land a couple of hard punches on his feet. Big right hand by Nurmagomedov. The two traded some solid punches. Nurmagomedov then once again took his opponent's back standing and dragged him to the canvas. Multiple knees from the Russian were followed by another takedown after Trujillo had gotten to his feet. This time, Nurmagomedov was able to flatten him out on the canvas, but only for a moment, before Trujillo got to his feet again. And for the rest of the second stanza, the story was basically the same as the initial round./p>

Trujillo needs a stoppage for victory in round three.

Round three saw Nurmagomedov dominate the action with his grappling once again. The bottom line is that this guy can fight.

Khabib Nurmagomedov defeats Abel Trujillo by unanimous decision.

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.
