UFC 155 provided a great night of action with many of the fights going the distance. In the main event Mexican fighter Cain Velasquez reclaimed the UFC heavyweight  title in a rematch with Brazilian native Junior Dos Santos. Also, in the co-main event Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller engaged in a bloody war, which showcased both of the guys stand up ability and ground skills.

Elsewhere on the main card, Chris Leben dropped a unanimous decision loss to Derek Brunson in a matchup where neither man looked on top of their game. Costa Philippou snapped Tim Boetsch’s winning run after picking up a third round TKO victory over “The Barbarian”. Tim seemed to be fighting with some form of an injury and also received an accidental poke in the eye during the fight, which really seemed to effect his ability to mount any solid offense.

Earlier that night we saw Todd Duffee make his return to the UFC with an impressive first round TKO victory over Phil De Fries in a heavyweight matchup. Max Holloway and Leonard Garcia also entertained fans with an exciting stand up battle, which resulted in Holloway scoring a controversial split decision win.
