Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returned to pay-per-view last Saturday night (July 2, 2011) with UFC 132: "Cruz vs. Faber," featuring Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz successfully defending his title for the very first time inside the Octagon and exacting revenge against Urijah Faber in the process.
But that's not all.
Middleweight sluggers Chris Leben and Wanderlei Silva met in the center of the cage, as promised, and delivered a stunning knockout finish, via "The Crippler" crumpling "The Axe Murderer," again, as promised.
And what else is there to say about the performance of Tito Ortiz?
