I’ve got OSP for the upset in the main event. But it really depends what type of shape Shogun is in. Tough fight to call IMO #UFCFightNight

WTF happened? Looked like Shogun fell over and got punched 348 times to the face.

Quietest Brazilian crowd in history?

Oh my god. Ovince Saint Preux knocks out “Shogun” Rua in 30 seconds. I’m in disbelief. Just like this crowd. Wow. #UFCUberlandia

Well damn. Ovince Saint Preux just dropped Shogun Rua like a sack of potatoes. Yeah that just happened #UFC

Actually it was a nice left hook that put Shogun down. Nice win for OSP but let’s not pretend that was vintage Shogun.

Not sure I’ve ever seen an arena empty that fast. Wow.
