UFC 97 Results
April 19th, 2009 by JP
- Anderson Silva (champion) defeated Thales Leites via unanimous decision (49-46, 48-47, 50-46) UFC Middleweight Championship. This was a boring fight, they’re going to come up with somebody to give Silva a challenge. Lietes had nothing to concern Silva
- Sam Stout defeated Matt Wiman via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
- Mauricio “Shogun” Rua defeated Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell via TKO (strikes) – Round 1, 4:28. After this loss I think it’s clear to everyone that its time for the Iceman to retire.
