CroCop defeats Yoshida via TKO (leg kicks)
Barnett defeats Hunt via Kimura/Keylock (hard to tell which one)
Silva defeats Fujita via KO/TKO/Ref Stoppage (Wandy was just beating him)
Nog defeats Werdum via decision
Nakamura defeats Cyborg via keylock
Lil Nog defeats Overeem via corner stoppage (towel)
Belfort defeats Takahashi via KO
Yoshihiro Nakao vs. Lee Eun Su (I don't remember, the shorter guy won)
Nastula defeats Drago via armbar

My thoughts on the fights:

CroCop looked tired, but he may have just been taking it easy on Yoshida. Yoshida actually looked to be pushing the pace of the fight, but kept catching nasty leg kicks until he couldn't walk anymore. CroCop showed good takedown defense and avoided a few throws.

Barnett is not funny. He needs to not make jokes. Although, he did make Hunt look like a joke, and that was a little funny...

In this fight, as well as the Yoshida fight, it looked like the ref was letting the Japanese fighters take more punishment. Fujita basically dared Silva to knock him out and he did.

Nog looked tired. Had there been another round or two, Werdum could have beaten him. It's interesting that Werdum was the biggest underdog left in the GP, yet of all the fighters who lost, Werdum put up the best fight.

Cyborg got pwned plain and simple. His head got pounded until he gave up the sub.

Overeem got rocked by a big punch, then covered up while Lil Nog started throwing. Overeem's corner threw in the towel. Overeem looked pissed. I think Overeem could have recovered, but we'll never know.

Vitor needed a quick, dominant win and he got it. We may see him fight again after all.

Nakao v Su fight was not memorable, or at least I don't remember it.

Nastula could have subbed Drago much earlier than he did, but it looked like he wanted to pound on the striker for a little bit. The fight was boring for that reason--I was just waiting for Nastula to stop dicking around and finish.

Overall, the fights were relatively quick and mostly entertaining. The final four are sick and I can't wait for Final Conflict.

I think that it was Silva won via TKO (Thrown Towel) and not KO?

Fujita was grabbing onto the ropes to pull himself up and shaking out the cobwebs, it was pretty much a KO.

Fujita fight was a ref stoppage not a KO but if it wasn't stopped his family would be burying him right now. Silva was having a world cup moment with Fujita's head.
