It was a big night win for Randy Couture in UFC The Uprising with a monster 5 rounder ending up with a decision rightfully swinging his way to make him the new UFC heavyweight champion. Where does this leave Tim Sylvia?
Other upsets on the card include Renato Sobral’s defeat to Jason Lambert with an explosive KO punch in round 2. Matt Hughes and Rich Franklin managed to get a win but Matt Hughes had to go all the way to the wire for a decision whereas Jason MacDonald’s corner stopped the fight at the end of round 2.
Matt Hamill continues with a perfect record in the UFC, he’s a bulldog.
