UFC featherweight Chan Sung Jung, aka ‘The Korean Zombie’, had talked about having superior striking to his opponent Mark Hominick leading up to Saturday nights (Dec. 10, 2011) UFC 140 bout at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario.

It took Jung seven-seconds to back those words up, finishing the former UFC title contender in the opening moments of the match.

Making her return to the Octagon last night in Toronto, Ontario at UFC 140, cage card girl Brittney Palmer has landed a pictorial for Playboy to grace the cover of one of their upcoming issues.

News that Palmer would be featured in a March issue of Playboy was confirmed by Ariel Helwani on Saturday night.

Palmer follows in the footsteps of Arianny Celeste and Rachelle Leah who have both posed for the magazine in the past. While fellow Octagon girl, Chandella Powell appeared in the famous magazine before she joined the UFC.

The former WEC cage card girl took some time off this past summer following UFC 132 to attend art school in California.

UFC president Dana White asked fans last month via Twitter if they wanted to see Palmer return, which apparently was a resounding “Yes” as Palmer returned at UFC 140 at the Air Canada Centre.

In a heavyweight rematch of their UFC 92 meeting back in 2008, Frank Mir was able to walk away the victor again at last nights (Dec. 10, 2011) UFC 140 co-main event bout in Toronto, Ontario versus Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.

After getting tagged by the Brazilian, a “wobbled” Mir would survive the attempts by his opponent to finish him on the ground by securing a Kimura submission after some rolling as both men attempted to improve their position.

With Nogueira refusing to tap, Mir was forced to apply further pressure to his opponents arm breaking it to end the fight at 3:38 of the first. The injury drew pained groans from the Canadian crowd at the Air Canada Centre during the replays of the submission.

“I had a strong inclination that he was not going to tap, so I took a deep breath and you guys saw what happened,” Mir said during the post fight press conference.

Mir now holds two “firsts” against Nogueira, having been the first fighter to knockout ‘Big Nog’ and now is the first to make the Brazilian tap.
