In what must have been the most expensive preliminary match in UFC history, a snooze-fest ensued as Pedro Rizzo and Ricco Rodriguez danced around the ring for three rounds. Rodriguez inability to take the match to the ground was the defining factor in the match.
It wasn't as if Rizzo did much to win the fight as he continually refused to engage and put on his usual counter punching performance. The only effective offense from either fighter came in the form of a few pulverizing leg kicks from Rizzo and they most certainly were the difference in the unanimous decision handed down in his favor.
