The 10th anniversary show of the Ultimate Fighting Championship went down at the Mohegan Sun Casino Arena in Uncasville, CT. It was to be an event to celebrate the best the sport has produced over the last 10 years but ended up being marred by a couple incidents that cast doubt on how far the sport has really come. With high hopes and low expectations, UFC 45 came closer to the latter with a sub par lackluster show.

Leading things off was a bout between Yves Edwards and last minute replacement Nick Agallar. Edwards looked frustrated against Agallar right up to the point where he landed a lunging left hand that sent Agallar straight to his back. He followed up quickly, pouncing on his downed opponent, firing away until referee Larry Landless stopped the bout at 2:14 of the second round.
