Fight 10 - Middleweight Title Bout (5 Rds)

Robbie Lawler vs. Scott Smith ends in a no-contest at 3:26 of the third round.

In the third round, Smith was poked in the eye accidentally when Lawler tried to block a punch with an

open hand and his fingers hit the right eye of Smith - the fight was stopped so the doctor could exam Smith

and the doc deemed Smith could not continue (Smith said twice he could not see but stated in the post fight

interview that he couldn't see at that moment and wanted his full five minutes to recuperate). Rules state that

a title fight has to go three full rounds to go to the score cards and since it didn't go the full three rounds, it

was declared a no-contest. Lawler retains title.

Fight 11 - Heavyweight Bout

Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson wins by TKO at :38 of the third round over James Thompson

At the start of the third round, Kimbo landed a right that popped Thompson's cauliflower ear open (started

bleeding) - Kimbo followed up and connected with a few punches and Thompson looked a bit stunned - and

while Thompson was moving back after being punched, the ref decided to stop the bout to Thompson's (and

the crowds) dismay.
