It was obvious the Tim had the fight in his favor until the unfortunate misfortune of having his left toe dislocated, which he fought on for a minute and fifty seconds. Apparently, Tim dislocated it five seconds into the fight without realizing it (toe update: They took Tim to a hospital. He apparently broke the toe just seconds into the bout while bouncing on it and continued to severely damage it throughout the 2 minutes to the point that the doctor said she has never seen anything like it. It appeared that blood was no longer making it to the end of the toe, putting it in jeopardy of being amputated. Again, this is speculation on the doctors part) Kimo wins by doctor stoppage for a badly broken toe at 1:55. 6) Jason Medina vs. Frank "Twinkeltoes" Trigg Trigg double legs Medina.

The Doctor comes into the cage. Andre wins by doctor stoppage due to a "possibly broken ankle" at 21 seconds. After numerous slow motion replays there is absolutely no doubt that the ankle was broken badly as Villasenors body folded back over it. Not something for the weak stomach. -end
