MMA Results: Silva retains UFC portion of middleweight title

In a UFC event in Sacaremento, California, Anderson Silva kept his UFC middleweight title by technical knockout when, just before the first round ended, Silva floored challenger Nate Marquardt and landed several hard blows to the face.  While Silva holds the UFC middleweight belt, Frank Shamrock has the Strikeforce middleweight title. Also in Sacramento, UFC lightweight champ Sean Sherk went the full 25 minutes (five rounds) with challenger Hermes Franca but Sherk got the decision to remain champion. Former UFC light heavyweight champion and MMA superstar Tito Ortiz fought to a three-round draw with Rashad Evans. Ortiz is trying to get back to the top of the sport after losing to Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. source: associated press
