I'll be blogging the UFC 81 PPV broadcast beginning at around 10 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, the four undercard bouts have finished, and here are your winners:

• Chris Lytle defeated Kyle Bradley via TKO due to strikes at 33 seconds of Round 1.
• Tim Boetsch defeated David Heath via TKO due to strikes at 4:52 of Round 1.
• Marvin Eastman defeated Terry Martin via unanimous decision after three rounds.
• Rob Emerson defeated Keita Nakamura via split decision after three rounds.

Nakamura is now 0-3 in the UFC and is probably just about finished with the promotion. Martin really needed this win to get back on track, so losing to Eastman (who himself was lucky to get another shot at the UFC) is a pretty big setback for him.
