If Chuck...
...didn't lose anything in the Rampage fight but a bit of pride, I think this is lambs to the slaughter and Jardine is gonna get ko'd in one. If Chuck lost a bit of fire, then, who knows?
I think Forest is in over his head with Shogun.
And I'm really curious to see how Diego/Fitch goes.

Diego sprinted out with a right hand and tried a single-leg, which Fitch stuffed. The crowd grew impatient as the fighters leaned against the cage for the next two minutes. Fitch pushed off and landed a right hand before Diego took him down. Fitch stood back up and returned the favor with a single-leg of his own. From the bottom, Sanchez went for an armbar but he couldn't secure position. Stuffed against the fencing, Diego went for the other arm but Fitch defended. Close round. 10-9 for Fitch.
Round 2
Fitch sprawled on a Sanchez single-leg and drug him to the mat. Diego rose to his feet and tackled Fitch immediately. A scramble ensued, and Fitch took Sanchez's back with double hooks. Sanchez escaped but was slammed back to the canvas. Fitch scored with right hands to the body from his opponent's guard and landed a hard right handed hammer fist to Sanchez's jaw as the "TUF" veteran went for an armbar. 10-9 for Fitch.
Round 3
Sanchez pulls guard with a tight guillotine, which sends the crowd into a frenzy. Fitch patiently fought the hold and escaped. Sanchez, from his back in full guard, then worked for a Kimura on Fitch's right arm. For the text three minutes, Fitch held Sanchez tightly to the canvas and struck with his left hand. Sanchez locked on a deep triangle in the final minute but Fitch gamely escaped. Close round. Sherdog.com gives the frame to Sanchez on the strength of two close submissions. Jon Fitch takes a split decision, 30-27 and 29-28. One judge saw it 29-28 for Sanchez.
Rua swings with an overhand right before dropping levels for a single-leg. Forrest stuffed it and punched the Brazilian as he turtled up to avoid punishment. Forrest, after letting Rua back to his feet, was quickly taken down with a single-leg takedown. Forrest works to his feet and cracks Rua before getting a takedown of his own. Forrest again let Rua up. A left hand to the chin buckled Rua's legs. "Shogun" was able to pick up another takedown before the end of the round. 10-9 for Griffin.
Round 2
Rua, now sporting a large knot on the left side of his forehead, came out swinging and got hit with a body shot before tackling Griffin. Rua opened up a cut above Griffin's right eye with an elbow from guard. Now back on their feet, Rua looked fatigued as he breathed with his mouth open.

Griffin moved to the crucifix position and punished Rua for the final 45 seconds of the round. 10-9 for Griffin.
Round 3

Rua tapped due to a rear-naked choke at 4:45 of the third.

That was a great fight... I was really impressed by Jardine and I think that Chuck underestimated him and was overconfident. The leg shots jardine was landing were awesome.
