On a historic night of MMA two-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion Fabricio "Vai Cavalo" Werdum registered the most spectacular upset in MMA history with a 1:09, first-round submission (triangle choke) over the world's No. 1 heavyweight and pound-for-pound fighter, Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko before 12,649 Saturday at HP Pavilion.

Fedor, a six-footer, had Werdum in trouble in the opening moments after dropping him with a right uppercut that was followed with several more punches. But from his back, Werdum, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and member of Brazil's vaunted Chute Boxe fight squad, got Fedor into a combination triangle- and arm-choke. Within seconds, the fight was over. The famed Fedor had tapped out.

"I am so very, very happy," the six-foot-four Werdum said. "He is such a strong man. He is a great fighter. I would be glad to fight him again."

It was the first "legitimate" defeat in Fedor's legendary career. His other loss, while official, came as a result of a disputed doctor stoppage due to a cut he sustained seconds into a matchup with Japan's Tsuyoshi Kosaka on Dec. 22, 2000.

Saturday marked the first time in MMA history, the No. 1 male and female fighters in the world fought in the same cage on the same night.

Cris Cyborg was her usual brutal self as she retained the STRIKEFORCE Women's World Middleweight (145 pounds) title with a dominant second-round (2:27) knockout (strikes) over game, determined challenger, Jan Finney.

In other televised fights, former STRIKEFORCE middleweight champion Cung Le convincingly stopped Scott "Hands Of Steel" Smith at 1:46 in the second round; and popular fan favorite and former STRIKEFORCE world lightweight belt-holder Josh "The Punk" Thomson turned back a determined bid of Pat "Bam Bam" Healy to score a hard-fought, third-round submission via rear-naked choke at 4:27.
