Was there a full moon last night? Some weird stuff was going on. And not just in Las Vegas. Rage in the

Cage had some controversy last night as their main event was ruled a no-contest due to one of the

combatants being accused of being greased. Not the first time this has happened in MMA. Also, some

bouts didn't take place because of no-shows.  We'll have an interview with RITC heavyweight Champ Andy

Montana up by Tuesday.
