UFC 49: Unfinished Business Results
Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2004
- Chris Lytle defeated Ronald Jhun via choke submission.
- Justin Eilers defeated Mike Kyle via KO in round 1.
- David Terrell defeated Matt Lindland via KO in round 1.
- Joe Riggs defeated Joe Doerksen via submission from strikes in round 2.
- Karo Parisyan defeated Nick Diaz via split decision.
- Yves Edwards defeated Josh Thompson via KO in round 1. This finish has to be seen! Thompson missed a spinning back fist and took a high kick. Could go down as the greatest knockout kick in UFC history.
- Chuck Liddell defeated Vernon White via KO in a slugfest.
- Randy Couture defeated Vitor Belfort via doctor Stoppage after 3 rounds. Belfort had a cut above his right eye that left a bloody mess on both fighters. Couture dominated all the way by ground and pound. After the fight, Randy Couture challenged Vanderlei Silva to a fight that would unify the PRIDE and UFC titles. Silva was in attendance with Heath Herring. Silva walked in the octagon with the PRIDE belt and said it would be an honor to fight him.
This was one of the best if not the best UFC show ever...and the MMA show of the year so far..
Incredible.
