In a single event we had:
- two fights ending in rare technical decisions (both Alan Belcher and Gian Villante were severely poked in the eye which forced referees to stop the fight and collect judges scorecards)
- two fights with one of fighters injuring his finger (Yancy Medeiros injured his thumb and Jon Jones injured his big toe)
- Bruce Buffer screwing BIG TIME during the post-fight announcement: accidentally mistaking Pat Healy for Jim Miller (completely fair in hindsight, as later it was revealed Healy failed his drug test and the result was changed to NC)
- the introduction of The Demonic Voice (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pUoxrG6pSY )
- Cody McKenzie defeating Leonard Garcia (which finally forced UFC brass to cut Garcia from the promotion)
- one fight scrapped after the weigh-ins (which was unheard of at the time)
- one of the least deserving, compelling or promising title shots ever leading to a one-sided beatdown
