Trivia
 | This article contains a list of miscellaneous information. (May 2007) |
- UFC President Dana White provided color commentary for the Quinton Jackson/Chuck Liddell bout, in support of UFC representative Liddell. Dana had made a $250,000 bet with Nobuyuki Sakakibara that Liddell would win.
- Randy Couture, at the time UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion, provided color commentary for the main event, in which Wanderlei Silva battled Quinton Jackson in the tournament finals. This was not the only time Couture was involved with the event - he and Bas Rutten, both former UFC Heavyweight Champions, provided a promo about the oft-discussed UFC vs Pride rivalry due to Liddell's participation. In the promo, Couture "choked out & spanked" Rutten for calling him an "old man".
