UFC 85 Bedlam: Nate Marquardt vs Thales Leites Video Clip

Analysis
The fight featured a pair of Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts and they had a series of great moves on the ground. Much of the bout was spent in the standup, and Marquardt seemed to get the better of it as it went on. But he didn’t have enough offense to overcome the point deductions. Marquardt had two points deducted by referee Herb Dean, one for a knee to the head of a downed opponent in Round 2 and one for an elbow to the back of the head in Round 3.

UFC 85 Bedlam: Michael Bisping vs Jason Day Video Clip

Analysis
Bisping was as fired up as he ever has been before a fight. He was very animated before the fight and then was very physical in the cage. He took Day down several times and after the last takedown, got in great position and pummeled Day repeatedly until referee Dan Miragliotta was forced to stop it.

UFC 85 Bedlam: Matt Hughes vs Thiago Alves Video Clip

Analysis
Hughes looks like he may be at the end of the line. He wasn’t able to do much with Alves, who was in command for most of the fight. Alves stuffed a few takedowns early, and landed a strong knee as well as some ground and pound in the first. In the second, Alves cut Hughes with a kick to the face and then ended the bout with a hard knee to the face. Hughes was slow getting up after a scramble and Alves raced in and blasted him with a knee.
