Wilson vs. Noble
PORTLAND, Oregon - It was Homecoming at the Rose Garden Arena for SportFight 20, and promoter Matt Lindland and his crew once again packed the house with thousands of fans and another incredible night of fights.

However, this time Bodog came to town, bringing with them four of their great fighters, and, oh yeah, all of their hot chicks. Bodog matched Chris Wilson vs. Derrick Noble and a highly-anticipated main event fight between Chael Sonnen and Kyacey Uscola.

• The first fight of the night was Aaron Emerson vs. Nathan Coy. Coy worked hard through Round 1 but verbally submitted after Emerson's punches knocked out his mouthpiece.
• The next fight was a heavyweight bout between Andy Eicholz and Nicolas Krusmarkis. These two big guys locked up and started throwing knees, but it was a rear naked choke by Krusmarkis that ended the fight, giving him the win.
• The third fight was quick and decisive as Dave Jansen defeated Dennis Parks at 43 seconds of Round 1.
• Josh Burnham vs. Tyson Jefferies featured the classic armbar submission. Once Burnham secured the arm, Jeffries had no other option but to tap.
• The second heavyweight bout of the night was Josh Bennett vs. Tim Pereless, and both fighters let it all out. Bennett finally won by TKO at 3:18 in Round 2.
• One of the best fights of the night went the distance, and Ian Loveland scored a decision over Andy Lukesh.
• Corey Devela defeated John Krohn.
• Fight No. 8 was fast and furious with Gerald Strebendt getting the tapout win over Will Shutt.

• After an intense staredown during the weigh-ins, there was no doubt that Mike Dolce and Michael Pierce were going to let it all out. These two warriors collided in the center of the ring, both throwing bombs. Unfortunately for Dolce, Pierce's bomb landed first and ended the fight with a one-punch KO in five seconds. That makes a new SportFight record for the fastest knockout; ironically, Dolce holds the record for the fastest KO in the IFL.

MAIN EVENTS
• The Bodog co-main event featured Chris Wilson and Derrick Noble, and Wilson was awarded a unanimous decision.
• The Bodog main event was something Portland fans couldn't wait to see, and Chael Sonnen defeated Kyacey Uscola by submission. After winning the fight, Sonnen challenged Frank Shamrock to a fight in Portland.
