The preliminary card of UFC 161 warm and started with many controversial results. It seemed that the fights were not good enough to warm the Canadian public in Winnipeg.

It was also the only defeat of a Canadian in the preliminary bouts.

Before, in the first fight of the night, the Haitian nationality with Canadian Yves Jabouin also divided the opinion of the judges, but celebrated the victory. A fight between American's victory over Jake Shields Tyron Woodley, also caused disagreements.

No more fighting left over warm, with little efficiency in both submission attempts as in searches by knockouts - just Krause got a win without the judges' decision, after applying a guillotine at end of combat.



Rashad Evans made ​​a balanced fight against Dan Henderson and only managed to win by split decision after three rounds of the competition - despite being the main battle, were not played five rounds because other more important fights were cut from the card on top the hour. With the victory, Evans rebounded from two consecutive losses and firmed again as a major weights heavyweight UFC.

The fight brought together two athletes that came from a Loss for Brazilians - Evans to Rogerio Nogueira, Lyoto Machida and Henderson. Aggressively as typical style of both, the expectation was for a great duel. When the time came, it came some disappointment, since both studied too much during the first few minutes.
