Melvin Guillard ($14,000 + $14,000 W) def. Ronys Torres ($4,000)
Rob Emerson $24,000 ($12,000 + $12,000 W) def. Phillipe Nover ($10,000)
Phil Davis ($5,000 + $5,000 W) def. Brian Stann ($17,000)

Joey Beltran ($6,000 + $6,000 W) def. Rolles Gracie ($15,000)
The payroll comes out to just over a million dollars, once bonuses are factored in. Of course, almost a quarter of that went to Randy Couture, but still a pretty good night.

Damn Serra came out with 210 gs. Not a bad night of work for the short Guido.
I’d love to see him and Thiago fight next.
Biggest disappointment was Rolles Gracie. And the most over paid! But some of those guys still are making crap!
