Ben Henderson def. Rustam Khabilov via split decision (48-47, 48-47, 47-48) or
Jon Dodson def. John Moraga via submission (triangle-armbar), 2:50 of round 3 or
Patrick Cummins def. Roger Narvaez (who??) via TKO, 3:17 of round 1
In other words: Winner’s name first, and include the method of victory, time of stoppage, round of stoppage, or the judges’ scores if you think the fight will go the distance; we’ll need that in case of a tie-breaker. Please submit your picks to the comments section by Friday night at midnight ET. Winners will be announced the following Monday. Only one entry per person, please. Any questions, let us know in the comments section (or if the comments section isn’t working, as is often the case, tweet us @cagepotatomma).
Good luck everybody, and thanks to Anchor Bay Films and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment for making this happen.

Michael Bisping has been booked to fight Cung Le on August 23rd, in the main event of a Fight Night card that takes place at the Cotai Arena in Macau. This booking was announced at the UFC 173 post-fight presser.
Le won his last match with a sudden, dramatic KO victory over Rich Franklin. Despite such a win, the 42-year-old isn’t exactly a threat to Bisping, who’s coming off a disappointing decision loss to Tim Kennedy. Looks like the UFC wants its British meal ticket back in the win column as soon as possible.
Get the details on the co-main event, and where the fight card will air after the jump.

Looks like the UFC wants its British meal ticket back in the win column as soon as possible.
The co-main event of this Fight Night card will feature a bout between Dong Hyun Kim and Hector Lombard. Kim is on a four-fight winning streak. Most recently, he knocked out John Hathaway with a gorgeous spinning back elbow. Lombard is only on a two-fight win streak but has looked equally if not more impressive. Since dropping to welterweight, he’s smashed Nate Marquardt and sent Jake Shields out of the UFC.
It’s a shame these matches will only air on Fight Pass.

– Wanderlei Silva vs. Quinton Jackson 2 defeated Leonard Garcia vs. Chan Sung Jung 1, with 55.6% of the vote
THE MODERN CLASSIC DIVISION
– Dan Henderson vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua 1 defeated Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva vs. Mark Hunt, with 51.9% of the vote

THE ‘TAP TAP TAP!’ DIVISION
– Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen 1 defeated Nick Diaz vs. Takanori Gomi, with 50.8% of the vote. This was the closest match of the opening round.
– Matt Hughes vs. Frank Trigg 2 defeated Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Bob Sapp, with 64.4% of the vote
And those are your eight quarter-finalists, ladies and gentlemen. Vote now, and come back on Monday for the results and the beginning of the quarterfinal round!
ONE FINAL, IMPORTANT NOTE:Some of you were under the impression that your votes were being improperly recorded because the right-arrow flashed every time you placed a vote, even when you were voting for the matchup on the left side. We apologize for the confusion; those arrows were meant to direct you to the next matchup, not indicate who you voted for. (I know, it threw me off at first too.) But believe me, all your votes were recorded properly, and Diaz vs. Gomi lost fair and square. Also, yeah, that green VOTE NOW button at the bottom of the bracket does nothing. Sorry about that.

(As always, “WAR WAND! PRIDE NEVA DIE!” is an acceptable write-in vote.)
Peep this, Potato Nation — in honor of March Madness, we’re putting together a big bracketology feature on the best fights in MMA history, with your votes determining the #1 Greatest MMA Fight of All Time. (Launch date: TBA…but pretty soon!) I’m looking forward to it, and you should too.
The only problem is, our interactive bracket only has space for 16 entries, which means that a bunch of classic MMA matches won’t be included. I can’t reveal the bracket yet, but I can reveal the ten honorable mentions that are all competing for the last spot. Check ’em out below, and click those links for video clips of each one.
After the jump, you will find a voting widget. Cast your vote on which of the above fights is most worthy of a place in the bracket, and that fight will earn the sixteenth spot. Votes must be in by Thursday morning at 9 a.m. ET.
Make sense? If not, please drop us a line in the comments section or on Twitter. Now get to voting…
