William Macario by way of TKO (Punches) 3:14 of Round 1<\/em><br \/>\nMatt Dwyer sent William Macario crashing to the canvas with a Superman Punch in the first round! Dwyer was looking for the perfect opportunity to counter his opponent during the feeling out process. As Macario stepped forward to land a left hook, Dwyer cut him off with a Superman Punch that ended it all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performance of the Night:<\/strong> Frank Mir<br \/>\n<em>Frank Mir def. Antonio Silva by way of KO (Strikes) 1:40 of Round 1<\/em><br \/>\nAntonio &#8220;Bigfoot&#8221; Silva never landed a significant shot tonight.

Andrade dropped her with a shot, but Reneau was not fazed at all. Adrade jumped into Reneau&#8217;s guard and was quickly submitted with triangle choke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a night of spectacular fights, several people begged UFC President Dana White for bonuses.
