Mark Munoz turned in a tremendous performance on Saturday at UFC 138, battering Chris Leben for two rounds before the fight was stopped prior to the start of the third. Munoz controlled the fight on the ground and opened up a big cut over Leben's left eye with hard right hands, and between the second and third rounds Leben's corner decided to stop the fight. After being awarded the victory by second-round technical knockout, Munoz said he wants the next shot at UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

UFC 137: Penn vs. Diaz was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on October 29, 2011 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The former Strikeforce champion, who infamously cost himself a title shot with Georges St-Pierre when he skipped pre-event media commitments, instead took out his frustrations on B.J. Penn and battered the former UFC champ into the night's second career retirement. Both fighters showed impressive striking accuracy in the first round, one in which Penn took Diaz's back but couldn't capitalize once on the mat. But on the feet, he matched Diaz's punches and landed the type of accurate blows the former Strikeforce champ has rarely dealt with in recent fights. In the second, Penn again was willing to stand flatfooted in the pocket, and especially in the clinch, he did damage with punches. But Diaz returned fire with some body shots and knees to the head while Penn was backed against the cage. The exchanges built Diaz's confidence, and with his first true taste of blood, he teed off with more frequency and dug into Penn's ribs with body shots. Subsequent combinations put Penn in survival mode, and the former two-division champ took heavy damage in surviving the final minutes of what proved to be a disastrous round for him. Despite the lopsided second round, Penn was willing to play Diaz's game in the third. He got sucked into the streetfight and had his moments, but Diaz's stellar conditioning and avalanche of punches simply proved too much to overcome. The fighters closed out the round by dishing out a ridiculous amount of damaging punches, but Penn, who was badly bloodied and bruised in the fight, couldn't get the finish he needed for the victory.

In the end, the judges scored it 29-28, 29-27 and 29-28 in Diaz's favor.

After the fight, a seemingly dejected B.J. Penn said his illustrious career is over.

UFC 135 “Jones vs. Rampage” was a mixed martial arts event held on September 24, 2011 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. Jon Jones was expected to make his first title defense on August 6, 2011 at UFC 133 against Rashad Evans, but Jones was sidelined with a hand injury. It was initially announced that the hand injury would require surgery, but Jones opted for rest and rehabilitation without surgery after further consultations with doctors. Jones injury was originally thought to keep him out of action until late 2011, but instead, he made his first title defense against Quinton Jackson at this event.

Matt Hughes vs. Josh Koscheck

Hughes is one of the UFC's all time best fighters, but is on the tail end of his career. His strength is his wrestling and he also has a solid submission game, but he has always been a subpar striker. He was originally supposed to fight Diego Sanchez but Sanchez was injured and Koscheck stepped in. Koscheck has wanted to fight Hughes for years but Hughes always resisted the fight because he didn't like Koscheck and didn't want to give him the opportunity. Now on short notice he took the fight. Koscheck is a younger man with better wrestling credentials and better striking. It's a tough stylistic matchup for Hughes and Koscheck is the heavy betting favorite.
Hughes comes to the cage with the old Miletich Fighting Systems crew: Pat Miletich, Robbie Lawler and Jeremy Horn. That was one of the first elite training camps in MMA and one of the most important training camps in the evolution of the sport. Hughes has trained more with Lawler in recent years and the group coming out together is clearly meant as a statement.
Hughes after the fight said he's not retiring but he's going to tell UFC to "put him on the shelf" for the time being. Hughes seemed on the version of tearing up but kept his emotions in check.

Jon Jones vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

Jones comes from a wrestling background but has picked up striking very quickly. One of his greatest strengths is his natural size and reach, which keeps opponents off balance and allows him to attack from unique angles and in unique ways. Jackson was originally more of a wrestling based fighter but over time he has fallen in love with boxing and he utilizes primarily boxing to win these days. Jackson is also noted for having an excellent chin. Jones has a colossal 11 and a half inch reach advantage.

Jones neutralized Jackson’s offense, softened him with kicks and then finished him at 1:14 of the fourth round with a rear-naked choke in the main event of UFC 135 at the Pepsi Center. Jones opened a cut over Jackson’s right eye in the third round with an elbow, then quickly finished him with the choke in the fourth. Jackson, a former champion, had spent more than two months training in Denver, working harder than he had in a long time, by his own admission. But he still had no answer for Jones’ length and varied attack. Jones’ striking was even a factor.

“He insulted my striking and said I had no punching power,” Jones said. “I got together with Mike Winkeljohn to work on my striking to try to prove a point.”

Jackson, who staged a psychological battle against Jones leading up to the fight, came away impressed. “I thought it was hype, but he’s the real thing,” said Jackson, who said he was better than he’s ever been.”

Then, after the announcement, Ortiz had to withdraw from the match due to neck surgery.
Despite confirming Liddell/Ortiz 3 would in fact be the main event for the card, the main event was confirmed on April 12 as Liddell vs. Franklin.
