In what was a rather interesting event, UFC 90 will be remembered for several things but namely an impressive debut from an all-time great heavyweight and a main event that ended in disappointment. For the state of Illinois though it marked the first UFC event to be held in the state and it was held in Allstate Arena rather than the United Center, a play many events will follow suit with.
A look back at UFC 90
The event as a whole though was loaded when you look back on it. When you include the entire roster for the fights that night you would get four UFC champions in Junior dos Santos, Fabricio Werdum, Sean Sherk, and of course Anderson Silva who was the main event and in the middle of his historic run as champion.
