UFC fight night 22 was an awesome night filled with upsets. UCF legend Yves Edwards made an impressive comeback to the UFC, with his dominant unanimous decision over John Gunderson. The veteran looked really good in his performance and I would be shocked to see him compete for the lightweight title in the future. Charles Oliveira also had an impressive night as he had his first televised fight with the UFC. He defeated Efrain Escudero in a back and forth fight by rear naked choke in the final round. The most impressive thing about Oliveira, was the crisp striking he displayed throughout the fight. Most hardcore MMA fans already knew he was an excellent BJJ fighter but his Muay Thai display was as impressive as his BJJ. The Main event was also marred in controversy as Rousimar Palhares got TKO'ed as he tried to complain to the referee about Nate Marquardt being too slippery. The doctors immediately checked Nate and determined that he wasn't greased up. Sad that a seasoned veteran like Palhares forgot the most important rule in combat sports "protect yourself at all times!"
