The bout between Anthony Johnson and Kevin Burns ended in controversy. Referee Steve Mazzagatti awarded Burns the victory after Johnson fell to the ground following an eyepoke, despite the fact that Mazzagatti warned Burns several times during the fight about fouls. Johnson appealed the decision to the NSAC, but it was ultimately rejected. The event was broadcast in the U.S. and Canada on Spike, and in the UK on Setanta Sports 2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Irvin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
