Forrest Griffin has fought his last bout as a mixed martial artist.

Four men took home post-fight bonuses on Saturday night, as Junior dos Santos, Mark Hunt, Glover Teixeira and T.J. Grant each pocketed $50,000 for their efforts at UFC 160.

This time Cain Velasquez needed less than a minute and a half.

Sherdog.com reports from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas at approximately 6:35 p.m. ET/3:35 p.m. PT with live UFC 160 play-by-play.

Junior dos Santos scored the 11th knockdown of his UFC career, tying him with Lyoto Machida for No. 4 all-time in the Octagon.

MMA journalism is a serious business. Following the MMA community on Twitter, is not. The following is a light-hearted (and sometimes insightful) look at how the combat sports world viewed UFC 160 via social networking.

If the results of past Ultimate Fighting Championship return bouts are any indication, Antonio Silva faces an uphill climb at UFC 160.

The heavyweights once again find themselves on center stage during Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas.

When The Ultimate Fighter first debuted in 2005, no one was sure if the mixed martial arts reality show would be an instant hit or a ratings bomb.

Twelve episodes of fights, in-house hi-jinks and drunken escapades led to the first season finale where Forrest Griffin met Stephan Bonnar in a light heavyweight bout to declare the first ever Ultimate Fighter champion at 205 pounds.

What happened next over a full 15 minutes no one could have predicted.

Griffin and Bonnar engaged in a fight for the ages with both competitors slugging away at each other on the feet and on the ground.  Neither one ever seemed to truly get the upper hand in the fight, but that didn't stop them from blasting away, throwing everything and the kitchen sink at each other over the course of three rounds.

When it was over, UFC President Dana White, former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell and just about everyone else at the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas were on their feet applauding what is now considered the greatest single moment in UFC history.

Following that fight, both Griffin and Bonnar continued on in the UFC, amassing 30 total fights between the two of them.  In late 2012, Bonnar retired from mixed martial arts following a loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 153 and a positive steroids test that would have ended in a lengthy suspension from the sport anyway.

On Saturday night, Griffin joined his former rival and now friend in retirement, and in July the two will team up once again for another moment in UFC history.

Speaking to the media following the conclusion of the UFC 160 post-fight press conference, White announced that Griffin and Bonnar will be inducted together into the UFC Hall of Fame during the UFC Fan Expo the weekend of UFC 162 in July.

The UFC posted the news on its official Twitter account:

The event will take place over July 5 and 6 with Griffin and Bonnar going into the UFC Hall of Fame simultaneously.  They will become the 10th and 11th members respectively.

During their UFC careers, Griffin went 10-5 and managed to win the UFC light heavyweight title, while Bonnar amassed an 8-7 record overall.  What they will most be remembered for, however, is their fight on April 9, 2005, that helped kick-start the UFC to new heights that it is still climbing to this day.

There wasn’t a copious amount of blood covering the fighters as they stood in the Octagon after the conclusion of this one, but the end result of the rematch between UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva was the same as their first meeting.

The result: a first-round TKO victory for Velasquez.

Scratch that, I shouldn’t say that the result wasn’t different because the bout at UFC 160 did end a little differently than the first meeting between the two fighters—it was over quicker.

The first meeting between Velasquez and Silva took place at UFC 146; that contest lasted three minutes and 36 blood-soaked seconds. The bout at UFC 160 lasted 1:21.

Velasquez, an accomplished wrestler looked for two takedowns early, but was unable to secure either. The champion then went to plan B, which was his striking game. 

After working at distance for a brief time, Silva stepped in close, and Velasquez unloaded a right that sent his opponent to a knee. Once Silva was down, the champion took his back and unloaded numerous shots to the head of the larger fighter. Silva was not defending the strikes of Velasquez, which brought the referee in for the stoppage.

At the post-fight press conference, Silva commented that some of the strikes landed to the back of his head, but upon viewing the fight a second time, I could see only one illegal strike land. All the other punches landed to the side of Silva’s head. 

UFC president Dana White said at the post-fight press conference that the Velasquez win will set up a third fight between Velasquez and former champion Junior dos Santos.
