Also, Old Dinosaur New Lion Mohawk Robot Alien Vitor is the best Vitor yet.

Still can't get over Vitor's rat-tail mohawk. Homeboy looks like he's about to audition for a remake of "The Warriors."

Vitor Belfort is a future Hall of Famer the same way Stephon Marbury is.

Nobre has the biggest back of the head in the division.

FIFA will be launching an investigation regarding Nobre's suspected dive.

My mistake, Martins channeled his inner Valentijn Overeem and tapped due to strikes.

Nik Lentz doesn't have the Internet? What does he do for his pornography needs? Go old school with magazines and VHS tapes?
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) January 20, 2013
Tough night for Diego Nunes. Fighting Lentz is the athletic equivalent of being waterboarded. Still, wrestling is best way to win in MMA.

Andrew Craig is as sluggish as a blown out heavy, which is bad for a middleweight, but not bad for a guy who played in Slipknot.
