It was a huge weekend for combat sports as Floyd Mayweather, the world's biggest pay-per-view attraction, and the UFC both put on shows on Saturday night. Mayweather met Miguel Cotto in one of his most fan-friendly performances that saw Cotto shine but Mayweather shine even brighter.
The UFC returned to Fox TV for the third time with their lowest-rated but perhaps most satisfying edition in terms of in-cage action. The event saw Nate Diaz and Johny Hendricks earn title shots with wins over Jim Miller and Josh Koscheck.
The weekend also saw former WWE star Bobby Lashley face James Thompson in Super Fight League action from India.
