[edit] Results
- Lawler wins by unanimous decision at 15:00.
- Initially, Radach was declared the winner by TKO at 0:27 of the first round, but the fight was later ruled a No Contest by the Louisiana State Athletic Commission.
- Salaverry wins by TKO (referee stoppage due to strikes) at 2:27 of the third round.
- Uno wins by unanimous decision at 15:00.
- Baroni wins by KO at 2:55 of the first round. The win came soon after Suloev landing an illegal knee to the head of Baroni while Baroni was down on his knees getting up.
- Penn wins by TKO (referee stoppage due to strikes) at 3:23 of the second round.
- Rodriguez wins by TKO (referee stoppage due to strikes) at 3:25 of the second round. Rodriguez's 4th TKO straight in the UFC
- Bustamante wins by submission (guillotine choke) at 3:20 of the third round. Bustamante had Lindland hooked cleanly in an armbar early in the fight, then released it after what seemed to be a tap, followed by a shout to stop the action by John McCarthy. Lindland claimed it wasn't a tap, which controversially led McCarthy to restart the fight. This has led to the contest being known as the infamous "double tap" fight. Shortly after, Bustamante left UFC due to contract disputes and fighting in Pride's 2003 Middleweight Grand Prix. He was then stripped of the UFC Middleweight title.
