UFC on Fox 5: Results/Standings!

[Dr. Death]

UFC on Fox 5: Henderson vs. Diaz is over and UFC officials announced the winners and bonus amounts following the event, which took place at Seattle's KeyArena. Yves Edwards and John Albert earned $65,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday's UFC on FOX 5 event, and Scott Jorgensen doubled up with $130,000 in bonus cash. Edwards earned the "Knockout of the Night" award, Jorgensen won the "Submission of the Night" bonus, and then picked up "Fight of the Night" honors for his first-round win over Albert. Jorgensen (14-6 MMA, 3-2 UFC) opened up the card with a thrilling finish that originally was just seen on Facebook – though it made its way onto the close of the prelims on FX. The bantamweight took Albert's back with 10 seconds left in the first round, locked in a rear-naked choke and squeezed for all it was worth. He forced Albert (7-4 MMA, 1-3 UFC) to tap with less than one second left in the first round, and the thrilling finish was good enough to get him a second bonus – and help put $65,000 in Albert's pocket, as well – for "Fight of the Night." Edwards (42-18-1 MMA, 10-6 UFC) was fighting for the first time in a year and his knockout of Jeremy Stephens (20-9 MMA, 7-7 UFC) was impressive in that it was the first time Stephens has been knocked out in his career. Stephens was setting the striking tone in the first round, but when he threw a right hand, Edwards threw one at the same time that landed first and put Stephens on the canvas. Edwards followed him to the ground, landed a few punches, and then a right elbow sealed the deal. Also Saturday's UFC on FOX 5 event provided the FOX network with a ratings uptick compared to its previous two UFC shows. Though not yet official, the overnight numbers for the broadcast, according to TVbytheNumbers, had FOX in the top spot among adults ages 18-49. A average of 3.41 million viewers tuned in for the broadcast for a 5 share. This Event also drew in 14,412 fans to the KeyArena in Seattle Saturday night for a Live Gate of $1.5 million. Now on to the results:

[Penn was sent directly to a hospital following the fight and not made available for comment. UFC president Dana White told the post-fight show on Fuel TV that he hopes there is just one step next for "The Prodigy." "BJ will probably retire," White said. "I wouldn't mind seeing that. Rory looked better than he's ever looked. You don't see body punches like that. BJ is a warrior who doesn't give up. I've got so much respect for him. I'd like to see him retire."]

How the hell that happened

Great review of the show Dr.D.It was a night of surprising wins and without enough finishes i must say.For the next show I'm hoping Freakshow will win the TUF

[Robstar]

As I said, I really need to stop picking with my heart. I highly doubted Penn would win but picked him anyway. Oh well, hopefully I can redeem with TUF:Smashes - go the Aussies! Good job FLWWEfan, maybe Dr.Death's highly questionable standings will be in for a shake up next year!

Just saying.......he IS leading, so.....

LOL, well you know I do keep the score so.... yeah. JK This next year will be funner with a different scoring system and a Grand Prize for the Overall winner + a couple smaller prizes throughout the year as well. (Not every event though). I'll PM you later Rob with a question I have about all of this.

Dunno, I thought I had ya ;D

Only 3 left but I think 1st, 2nd and 3rd have been decided unless 1 of us misses an event.

[FLWWEFan]

I finally won one of these! Looking foward to next year's contest with the new additions.

[Darkside Ron Garvin]

My placement obviously shows just how close I follow UFC these days...

Damn, I need to watch more than just TNA, the NFL, Fringe, and Suits!
