[edit] Alistair Overeem vs. Hiromitsu Kanehara
Alistar Overeem defeated Hiromitsu Kanehara by TKO after 3:52 of Round 2. Overeem opened up a huge cut under Kanehara's eye with knee strikes, and the doctor was forced to stop the fight.

Mark Hunt knocked out Dan Bobish with an uppercut 6:32 into Round 1.
[edit] Dan Henderson vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura
Dan Henderson won by TKO over Kazuhiro Nakamura just 1:15 into the fight. While both men were on the ground, Henderson started landing knees to Nakamura's shoulder which ultimately dislocated it. The referee stopped the fight upon noticing the injury.
[edit] Josh Barnett vs. Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic
In a very anti-climactic match, "Cro Cop" was declared the winner after only 46 seconds of fighting when Josh Barnett had to submit due to his shoulder becoming dislocated. There was no clear offensive maneuver by Filipović that could cause the dislocation, making for a very bizarre ending.
[edit] Middleweight Championship Match: Wanderlei Silva vs. Quinton Jackson
In the main event, Wanderlei Silva knocked out Quinton Jackson with a series of punches and standing knee strikes, 3:26 into the second round, to successfully retain the PRIDE Middleweight Championship.
