    Frank Mir is the first guy in the UFC to headline an event having lost his last four bouts.

    Silva is 0-2-0-1 which isn't much better. Anderson Silva will have a similar record if he ever headlines again.

    Incidentally, Ellenberger and Koscheck are co-headlining the UFC 184 card both coming off three losses.

    TJ Waldburger couldn't make weight and his fight with Wendell Oliveira is off.

    The night of the underdogs.

    Mir looked great.

    I saw the last four fights. Khabilov vs. Martins was boring. Alvey's KO of Ferreira was awesome. Johnson/Barboza was good but Johnson's forward pressure coupled with him sitting down on his punches and trying to do more damage would've been better. The main event was what you'd expect from heavyweights. Mir's boxing is underrated.

    Jon Anik said the humidity in the building was "99-degrees Fahrenheit", whatever that means. Everyone was drenched.

    Michael Johnson wants to fight Ben Henderson next.

    Frank Mir was motivated for his fight with Antonio Silva by the prospect of earning a rubber match with Brock Lesnar.

    The UFC is unhappy with the Gigantinho as their Porto Allegre venue going forward and will be looking for a bigger space next time. The announced attendance was a shade over 5,000.

    Marion Reneau, deemed too old to be on TUF, now 2-0 in the UFC.

    The fact that a bunch of dogs won on this card means some people who made small bets on longshot parlays came away like thieves. One Redditor made a 5.00 bet that won him 32,000+, half of what he would've won had the one bout with Waldburger not been canceled instead of going his way. Apparently some bettors won up to 100,000.
