UFC Fight Night 14:
Silva vs. Irvin – Las Vegas, Nev. – Palms Casino Resort – July 19, 2008
Anderson Silva took a break from dominating UFC
middleweights to beat light heavyweight James Irvin at UFC Fight Night 14.
Silva knocked out “The Sandman” in 61 seconds to improve his
UFC record to 7-0.
UFC presented this show up against the first Affliction
pay-per-view, which featured Fedor Emelianenko beating Tim Sylvia in 36 seconds
in the main event.
Brandon “The Truth” Vera went down a weight class, debuting
in the light heavyweight division with a unanimous decision win over UFC
newcomer Reece Andy.
Frankie Edgar (10-1) continued his march toward a shot at the
UFC lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Hermes Franca.
Kevin Burns beat Anthony “Rumble” Johnson in a fight with a
strange ending. Burns poked Johnson in the eye illegally, but he won the fight
by TKO when Johnson could not continue.
Cain Velasquez beat Jake O’Brien, ending his fourth pro
fight like the first three: pounding his way to a TKO victory.
In the televised opener, CB Dollaway used a Peruvian necktie to beat
Jesse Taylor in just under four minutes.

Yarbrough by TKO at the 1:54 mark.

naked choke in 3:33; and Brad Blackburn beat James Giboo by TKO in Round 2.
