Nate Marquardt?s beat-up leg (PHOTO)
Tarec Saffiedine took the Strikeforce welterweight belt with a barrage of leg kicks that Nate Marquardt did little to stop. Photographer Esther Lin caught a shot of just how damaging the kicks were to Marquardt's leg. Raise your hand if you thought his leg was going to give out during the fight? Me too. Though it didn't, Marquardt didn't have an answer for the kicks, and his leg ended up looking like that.

Costa Phillippou gets big win as Tim Boetsch deals with rough night at UFC 155
Costa Philippou wasn't even supposed to be fighting at UFC 155. It was supposed to be Chris Weidman, Philippou's teammate, taking on Tim Boetsch. It was supposed to be a fight that decided a potential contender for Anderson Silva's bout. But in MMA, things don't always work out like they are supposed to, and Philippou walked away with a win at UFC 155.
Philippou stepped in to fight Boetsch after Weidman was injured in training camp. Boetsch took an early lead with clinch work and takedowns in the first round, but between rounds he talked about an injury that was bothering him. It got worse for Boetsch in the second round, as a large cut opened in his forehead and he was poked in the eye.
[Complete UFC 155 recap: Cain Velasquez mauls Junior dos Santos]
With his eye swelling and blood covering his face, Boetsch tried to deal with Philippou's striking. Boetsch attempted takedowns, but couldn't hold off Philippou, who finished the fight at 2:11 in the third round.
After the fight, Philippou sent this tweet that said it all.
They know me now.
? Costas Philippou (@Philippou185UFC) December 30, 2012
Though he's now 12-2 and has five straight wins in the UFC, Philippou has flown under the radar among middleweights. It will be hard to ignore him after he took advantage of this opportunity at UFC 155.

Clay Guida?s mustache wins at life
CHICAGO -- Clay Guida won by a split decision over Hatsu Hioki at UFC on Fox 6, but that result was nowhere near as important as the facial hair Guida sported to the cage on Saturday night. He had a full beard at press events all week, but told Cagewriter to expect something special for fight night. Special doesn't even come close to describe this amazing sculpture of lip fur. That mustache has won bar fights, saved kittens from trees and loves a good whiskey. Ron Swanson is jealous of that mustache.
