Info For UFC 132

Last week’s event in Las Vegas proved to be one of the most exciting events in a long time.
There were contrasting emotions for two of the legends of the sport as Tito Otiz lives to fight another day while the same cannot be said for Wanderlei Silva after his devastating defeat to Chris Leben.
The fact that it took only 27 seconds for Chris Leben to possibly consign Wanderlei Silva’s UFC career to the history books is a bitter pill to swallow for fans of the “Axe Murderer.”
Silva seemed to connect first before being caught himself and as he looked to the safety of his Muay Thai clinch, Leben caught him with two or three vicous uppercuts that sent Silva to the canvas as “The Crippler” swarmed all over him to finish the fight early in the first round.
One fighter who jump-started his ailing career last Saturday night was Tito Ortiz.
This past weekend's UFC 132 event officially drew 13,109 attendees for a $2,304,500 live gate.

The MGM Grand Garden Arena's all-time top UFC gates, include:
UFC 66 (Liddell vs. Ortiz II): $5,397,300 gate (13,761 attendance)
UFC 91 (Couture vs. Lesnar): $4,815,675 (14,272)
UFC 71 (Liddell vs. Jackson): $4,304,000 (14,728)
UFC 116 (Lesnar vs. Carwin): $4,053,990 (12,740)
Upon losing the title and working his way back to a title shot against Mike Brown and then Jose Aldo, Faber moved down to bantamweight.
In the first fight of his Ultimate Fighting Championship era, he defeated Eddie Wineland, setting up a grudge match for the first ever UFC Bantamweight Title defense.
Prior to the fight, Cruz said he didn't think Faber had evolved since they first fought at WEC 26.
Bowles getting the next crack at Cruz leaves Faber to get Demetrious Johnson . Most recently, he defeated the former title holder, Miguel Angel Torres.
Jeff Hougland is sure glad he didn't tap out to a career in MMA.

After winning his first professional fight, he lost four in a row. Hougland (10-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC), a bantamweight, nearly finished his first UFC opponent, Donny Walker (15-7 MMA 0-1 UFC), on several occasions at UFC 132 using a submission, which to him is proof positive of how far he's come. "I wanted to jump off a building," Hougland told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) of his early-career losing streak. "But I didn't know jiu jitsu at all. "The cameraman told me I won."

Now, Hougland isn't choosy about whom he faces next. He's more interested in getting a full training camp in for his next fight.

"I got the minimum (medical) suspension," Hougland said.
