UFC 99 Post-Mortem: Awards
Jake Rossen Jun 14, 2009
The evening's unofficial awards:
Heart of the Night Award: Unquestionably Wanderlei Silva. Tired, muscles choking on lactic acid, he still made repeated attempts to pour it on against Rich Franklin and nearly had him on ice a couple of times.
Fight of the Night Award: Marcus Davis vs. Dan Hardy: three rounds of combat catharsis between two seriously irritated fighters. (Franklin-Silva won the UFC's official Fight of the Night.)
Backing Up His Talk Award: Hardy, taking a tough fight against a tough fighter in Marcus Davis and giving him a good work-over.
Haircut of the Night Award: A three-statue evening for Hardy, who bests Caol Uno in this category. At least Hardy’s looks intentional.
