In case you missed it with all the hype surrounding the two huge MMA events this weekend, UFC has announced it will debut in Chicago on October 25th with UFC 90. You can read all about it HERE!
 
UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva destroyed James Irvin in 61 seconds Saturday night in his UFC Light Heavyweight debut at the Palms in Las Vegas. Silva, the dominant champion in UFC's 185 pound division, was fighting for the first time at the higher weight class of 205 in a free UFC Fight Night on SpikeTV designed to counter-program the Affliction:Banned MMA pay per view event.  Irvin,  a power puncher who was coming off an amazing eight-second TKO of the popular Houston Alexander in his last fight, threw a kick, which was caught by Silva, who cracked Irvin in the face. Down went Irvin. It was all over. Silva pounced on Irvin, and just pummeled him with punches, but that first punch had already done the trick. Silva was the winner in just 61 seconds.

After the fight the Brazilian Silva told commentator/interviewer Joe Rogan through a translator, "My responsiblity is to defend the 185-pound title. But I want to be involved in the biggest fights. If it's at 205, great."
 
In other results, the not-so-impressive Brandon Vera, once thought to be one of UFC's shining stars, did not look impressive at all as he dropped down from the heavyweight division to the light heavyweight division, and defeated Reese Andy by unanimous decision after 3 rounds.
 
Frankie Edgar beat Hermes Franca by unanimous decision after 3 rounds.
 
Cain Velasquez beat Jake O'Brien by TKO at 2:02 in Round 1.
 
Kevin Burns beat Anthony Johnson by TKO at 3:35 in Round 1 in a controversial decision since Burns accidentally thumbed Johnson in the eye, which the referee did not see. After the match, Burns told Joe Rogan that his hand is always open because he's broken it 3 times and he admitted the eye poke, but claimed it was unintentional.
 
C.B. Dollaway beat Jesse Taylor by submission to the Peruvian Neck Tie at 3:58 in Round 1.
 
Tim Credeur beat Cale Yarbrough by TKO at 1:54 in Round 1.
 
Rory Markham beat Brodie Farber by KO at 1:47 in Round 1.
