Rob Kimmons

(Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann)

Last night's "Condit vs. Kampmann" card brought in a live gate of $626,077, thanks to its 10,267 spectators — which made it the most well-attended Fight Night show in UFC history. $120,000 was re-distributed to the fighters in the form of $30,000 end-of-night bonuses. Taking home the extra cash were...

Fight of the Night: Tyson Griffin and Rafael Dos Anjos, as mentioned earlier. Don't ask us why their sloppy slugfest got the nod over the technical back-and-forth battle of the main event.

Knockout of the Night: Aaron Simpson's first-round stoppage of Tim McKenzie in the night's opening bout turned out to be the only TKO on the card, so he scored the bonus by default.

Submission of the Night: Rob Kimmons earned the bump with his first-round guillotine choke victory over Joe Vedepo, which put Vedepo to sleep for the second time in his short UFC career. It was nice knowing you, buddy.

— Murilo "Ninja" Rua, brother of UFC light-heavyweight Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and the former EliteXC middleweight champion, will face IFL standout Benji Radach at EliteXC's October 4th card on CBS. Radach hasn't fought since his loss to Matt Horwich at the IFL World Grand Prix Finals last December, while Rua is coming off a first-round TKO victory over Tony Bonello at EliteXC: The Return of the King in June. It will be the first in a three-fight EliteXC contract for the American Top Team trained Radach.

— Speaking of Shogun, the older Rua brother's rumored match with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is looking more likely.

— And speaking of the EliteXC middleweight title, a rematch between belt-holder Robbie Lawler and Joey Villasenor is nearly a done deal for EliteXC's November 8th card on Showtime. Lawler and Villasenor previously met at PRIDE 32 in October '06, where Lawler won via flying knee KO in just 22 seconds.

— Matt Lindland's next Affliction fight will be against UFC/BodogFight/Strikeforce vet Trevor Prangley, at "Day of Reckoning" on October 11th in Las Vegas. It's been a long layoff for Prangley, who hasn't competed since Strikeforce's "Four Men Enter, One Man Survives" middleweight tournament last November, where he defeated Falaniko Vitale then lost to Jorge Santiago.

— Former IFL middleweight champ Dan Miller will make his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 15 (September 17th, Omaha) against Rob Kimmons, who most recently choked out Rob Yundt at the TUF 7 finale in June.

How far the mighty fall: Once the UFC's #1 heavyweight contender, Gabriel Gonzaga will reportedly be facing Team Punishment journeyman Justin McCully in his next bout, at UFC 86 (July 5th, Las Vegas). McCully will be looking for his second win in the Octagon, after defeating Antoni Hardonk by decision at UFC Fight Night 9 in April 2007; he hasn't competed since then. The match is particularly important for Gonzaga, who's been on a two-fight skid since knocking out Mirko Cro Cop at UFC 70. Not only did Gonzaga lose big matches to Randy Couture and Fabricio Werdum, he didn't look impressive in either bout, leading some fans to question his heart. Fighting McCully is Napao's last chance to redeem himself; if he doesn't have a successful showing, you can bet he'll be a victim of the UFC's ongoing roster cuts.

In other UFC news...

— Due to a busted ankle, Alessio Sakara has been forced to withdraw from The Ultimate Fighter 7 finale (June 21st, Las Vegas). Replacing Sakara in his middleweight bout against Rob Yundt is Rob Kimmons, a 20-3 veteran of an alphabet soup of regional leagues who will be making his UFC debut.

— Yes, you heard that right. Karo Parisyan is the "gatekeeper" of the UFC's welterweight division, according to Dana White. Ouch, buddy!

— The UFC just sent a cease-and-desist letter to Tito Ortiz for wearing the UFC's championship belt on the cover of his new autobiography, This Is Gonna Hurt. The belt is "intellectual property of the UFC...as such, its use in promotional materials requires the company's approval per the terms of its standard contract." Now who's the bitch?
