In a night with plenty of spectacular fights it must have been tough for the UFC to determine who they would give their bonuses to. UFC 139 gave an amazing showing to the fans at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. Dan Henderson and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua went to war for 5 rounds, Wanderlei Silva proved he is still legit by KO’ing Cung Le, while Urijah Faber gets another shot at Dominick Cruz’ bantamweight championship with a second round submission victory over Brian Bowles. Two welterweights fought a tough fight with Martin Kampmann picking up a split decision victory over Rick Story and the first fight of the card Stephan Bonnar outworked Kyle Kingsbury to pick up the W in that fight.
