UFC 122 kicked off in Germany with a series of preliminary bouts, and the official results are now in.
As the European audience geared for the big Nate Marquardt vs. Yushin Okami main-event, fighters like Vladimir Matyushenko and Seth Petruzelli competed on the undercard. These bouts may or may not air on Spike TV’s broadcast in the United States, but given the ever-competitive nature of the UFC roster, none of the fighters were approaching these bouts lightly.
