* Lightweight: Jim Miller vs. Takanori Gomi

Here, we, go. Gomi is 35-11, 1 NC in the red trunks out of Tokyo, Japan. Miller is 25-8, 1 NC in the blue trunks out of Sparta, New Jersey. Our referee is Mark Smith.

Both men punch a jab to touch gloves as we get underway. The Octagon has a weird yellow canvas tonight with a bright green Monster logo in the middle. Miller has a takedown at 44 seconds and quickly gets both hooks in. Gomi tries to stand back up while Miller yanks the arm out to force him back to the ground, starging to look to sink a arm around the neck. 2 minutes gone. Gomi rolls but Miller hammers away with legs and rights from the back and Smith waves it off at 2:17 or 2:18 depending on the official time. MILLER WINS BY TKO.

OFFICIAL TIME OF THE TKO IS 2:18 OF R1. Joe Rogan's microphone isn't working. He goes to get another and it's also busted. Somebody outside the Octgon brings him one and THAT one works. Miller: "I'm a jiu-jitsu black belt and I knew I'd have an advantage on the ground. To take it down so early, I knew I'd have plenty of time to work." Dead right.

* Middleweight: Gegard Mousasi vs. Thiago Santos

Santos is in trunks so yellow they make the Octagon look orange by comparison. Mousasi is in the white trunks. Santos is 13-3 and fights out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Mousasi is 38-6-2 and fights out of Leiden, Holland, The Netherlands. Our referee is Marc Goddard.

30 seconds of circling to open without a punch landed. Both men are being very cautious. Mousasi finally steps in and throws an overhand right, trying to duck the response of Santos. Santos checks a front kick. He's the one moving backward in this fight. He throws a leg kick and Mousasi backs off then comes forward again. Left jab and leg kick for Mousasi. Leg kicks for both men. Mousasi has Santos hurt at 2:15 and jumps to take his back with one hook in. He's still punishing him with lefts to the head. Santos stands up and Mousasi throws a knee to the body then takes him down to side control. 3:30 gone in R1. Nasty right elbows. Mousasi tries to pass to full mount but the left leg is stuck in half guard. Mousasi tres to pass again, Santos gets free, but MOUSASI CREAMS HIM IN THE PROCESS and with just a shot or two on the ground and pound Goddard waves it off.

OFFICIAL TIME OF 4:32 IN R1 FOR THE WINNER BY KNOCKOUT: GEGARD MOUSASI. Rogan steps in with a working mic to talk to him and Mousasi praises Santos. "I believe he's a guy who can beat top ten guys. He doesn't have a recognizable name but he's dangerous. I believe I have one of the best stand-up (games) at middleweight and I thought I was better with jiu-jitsu and wrestling so I was able to fight him wherever it would go."

* Lightweight: Diego Sanchez vs. Joe Lauzon

Lauzon is in the black trunks for tonight's fight. Before Lauzon can step in the cage they trim some of the tape off his wrist for being too high up. Sanchez is in the blue trunks. Lauzon's record is 25-12 and he fights out of Bridgewater, Mass. Sanchez' record is 28-8 and he fights out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our referee is Mark Smith.

Lauzon tries to push him backward toward the fence and he lands a good left andd a hard right and drops Sanchez again when he tries to get back up. Sanchez gets a warning to fight back after he gets up a third time and he is being creamed. He's a standing zombie. Lauzon wants Smith to stop it. He keeps looking at him to stop it! Sanchez is wobbling on his feet. IT IS WAVED OFF AT 1:26.

Bruce Buffer makes it official -- 1:26 OF R1 FOR THE WINNER BY TKO - JOE LAUZON. Joe Rogan interviews him. Lauzon: "Super satisfying. We talked about having to chum water and draw him in a little bit but right after that I hit him with a good hand. I'm always working on my boxing. I was healthy, I was happy tonight ,and I think it showed."

That's it for UFC Fight Pass. Fights on FS1 are next!

* Interim Featherweight Title: Jose Aldo {#1} vs. Frankie Edgar {#2}

We're now in the "championship rounds." Goldberg just reminded us that Aldo is 6-0 in title fights that go the full five rounds. Edgar is still going after it but Aldo isn't afraid of anything at this point. Edgar finally lands a good left 2:45 into this round. Two strong right hands by Aldo.

Fifth and final round! Edgar is chasing it like he knows he's down on the cards. Aldo lands a hard left hand. High kick by Aldo. Edgar puts a decent left on him and vice versa. Goldberg tells us Edgar is 7-3-1 in fights that go 25 minutes. Aldo clips Edgar again. 2 minutes gone. 3 left. The crowd is getting pumped. Edgar had just passed six hours of total time inside the UFC Octagon. I'm reminded of what I told Peter H in our preview - in all the years I've ever watched Aldo only one man made him look bad and that was only an 8 second fight. Tonight is not that night and if you're an Edgar fan sadly he's not that man. 1 minute left. The man I'm referring to "Notorious" Conor McGregor is watching from the front row as the seconds tick away. Edgar's face is just a mess. Aldo backs away until the bell for the last 10.

The judges score this one 49-46, 49-46, 48-47 ALL FOR JOSE ALDO. Aldo professes that this interim title and win aren't for him, they're for his coach, and he loves that man. The translator helps out with Rogan's next question. "Frankie's a great athlete, I respect him but I have one goal, it's to beat this man." He's clearly pointing at Conor McGregor. "Brazil I'm stronger than the world. I lost my father but I have a new father in this man." Andre "Dede" Pederneiras getting all the love tonight.

* Non-Title Fight: Daniel Cormier {C} vs. Anderson Silva

Silva enters to DMX's "No Sunshine" as per his usual. He was 198.5 pounds for this fight, well under the light heavyweight limit, and not surprising since he usually fights at middleweight. He's in yellow trunks for tonight's fight. Cormier's coming out to LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out" mixed with Lil Wayne & Drake's "Right Above It." He has the black trunks tonight. 37 to 41, 5'11" to 6'2", 206 to 198.5, 72.5" to 77" reach from Cormier to Silva. Silva is 33-7, 1 NC, fighting out of Curitiba, Brazil.

Silva throws some kicks to open R2 but takes a right on the jaw in kind. Cormier drops him down to the ground after catching a kick and takes half guard at 26 seconds. The crowd isn't thrilled to see it. Cormier's as close to side control without being in it as you could be since Silva has DC's whole weight on the right side of his body. Those left elbows to the face are getting through as are left hands to the head. McCarthy stands them up at 3:25. Silva gets up very slowly. DC lands another right hand. Silva throws a knee and a left. They trade kicks. Two hard right hands by DC. The crowd boos as Cormier pushes Silva into the fence for the last 20 seconds. 10-9 DC.

Both men hug to open our third and final round. Silva is trying to make it happen with the kicks. Cormier lands a couple of rights then takes Silva down at 36 seconds to a thunderous boo. Boo all you want people -- it's working. Right hands to the body. Left elbows to the face. As Goldberg just said DC is smothering Silva. McCarthy is considering a stand-up and the crowd is chanting for it but Cormier is staying busy enough so far. He finally stands them with two minutes left. This isn't any more exciting than it was on the ground though. They barely touch each other for the next minute. Silva lands a good body kick but there's very short time left. Cormier presses him into the fence and Silva can't shake him loose so we go to the judges. After they go to their corners to freshen up they bow in respect to each other and hug before the scores are read.

THE JUDGES SCORE THIS CONTEST 30-26 X3 FOR THE UNANIMOUS WINNER: DANIEL CORMIER. Cormier makes no apology for how the fight went given he trained for a different opponent for the last eight weeks. Cormier admits that Silva is one of the greatest of all time. "I can't complain - I did what I had to do. Most guys would not take this fight, they wouldn't do it, but I felt I needed to do it. Mentally it was draining, everything was tough."

Next Joe Rogan goes to Anderson Silva and the translator. "This fight was a big personal challenge for me to accept it. This is the proof you can do anything you want, anything you can put your mind to." He also says he doesn't mind fighting a heavier guy since he usually trains for heavier fights. Silva (in English): "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for everything. I respect you people!" Cerrone and Miocic are in the crowd watching.
