UFC 108 was being called the most jinxed card of the world’s top mixed martial arts organization, and critics were already proclaiming the pay-per-view a disaster before fight day itself.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship, however, silenced the skeptics.

Here’s an excerpt from Kevin Iole’s Yahoo! Sports article.

Prior to the card, UFC president Dana White vigorously defended the quality of the show and went on the offensive against those who were critical of the matches.

Much is made on Internet bulletin boards of a perceived lack of respect that White shows fighters, but White got the last laugh Saturday. He wound up turning the critics’ words against them.

In the main event, Rashad Evans defeated Thiago Silva via unanimous decision to set up a long-delayed showdown with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

I used to like Rampage actually, but after his antics on The Ultimate Fighter 10, I can’t wait for Rashad to get his hands on Jackson.

By the way, congratulations to The Filipino Wrecking Machine Fil-American Mark Muñoz, who defeated Ryan Jensen in the first round.
