As we reported a bit earlier, UFC is now personally invested in being Strikeforce's direct competition, in a move that will almost assuredly work out in the UFC's favor. Dana White seems to be taking this whole "Fedor Emelianenko" thing pretty seriously, so now he's set the wheels in motion for head-to-head programming.

But in the main event, you had a triple threat match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title between Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, and Mankind, with special guest referee Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
