Another UFC fight night has come and gone and it did not disappoint. Cain Velasquez proved he is a heavyweight to look out for with a TKO stoppage over hard hitting Denis Stojnic. Anthony Johnson also proved he belongs in the UFC with an impressive TKO victory over respected fighter Luigi Fioravanti. A stiff right hook from Anthony Johnson signaled the beginning of the end for American Top Team's Luigi Fioravanti, who stumbled to the canvas. Johnson followed up shots on a turtled Fioravanti at 4:39 in the first round.

Josh Neer and Mac Danzig had a great fight that was dominated by Neer. The Iowa lightweight caught Danzig (18-6-1) with a right in the bout's first minute, but "The Ultimate Fighter 6" winner battled back nicely and found his timing with combinations, cutting Neer over his left eye. The Dentist than slapped on a triangle choke as he pulls the head forcing Danzig to submit at 3:36 of the second. This was a good victory for Neer who rebounded publicly from a New Year's Eve run-in with police for driving while intoxicated and fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run.

The match of the night was Joe Lauzon versus Jeremy Stephens. This was back and forth night and Joe Lauzon was determined to beat Jeremy Stephens so he can get a crack at Hermes Franca do to the bad blood that ensued after he pulled out of the event with a torn anterior crucial ligament in his right knee. Despite a cut near the top of the head, Lauzon sweeps and mounts Stephens. He than goes for an armbar and Stephens taps twice as Lauzon adjusted positions to keep the arm secured at 4:43 of second round.

Saturday's "UFC Fight Night 17: Lauzon vs. Stephens" event scored 7,596 attendees at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida. The near-soldout crowd accounted for a live gate of approximately $428,000.
