Well, no one can say there isn't a certain amount of unpredictability in mixed martial arts competition after watching UFC 84: Ill Will.

What many consider to be one of the best line-ups in UFC pay-per-view history, fighters did not disappoint fans in technique, power and inspiration as some of the best fighters in the world went toe-to-toe in some of the most entertaining fights to date.

While there are some questions that linger after watching each performance, all in all, the fights went largely as expected, but still they were entertaining.

After going over the winners of the under card fights, the main card fights will include an overview, the winner and an open-ended question for the "non-winner" each fight.

First, the undercard fights and results:

Christian Wellisch (9-2) lost to Shane Carwin (8-0) at 0:44 of the first round via TKO (via a punch so hard it dislodged Wellisch's mouth guard).

Jason Tan (5-1) lost to Dong Hyun Kim (9-0-1) at 0:25 of the third round via TKO

Jon Koppenhaver (6-1) lost to Yoshiyuki Yoshida (9-2) at 0:56 of the first round via submission due to anaconda choke.

Rich Clementi (39-12-1) defeated Terry Etim (10-1) via unanimous decision.

Rameau Sokoudjou (4-2) defeated Kazuhiro Nakamura (11-7) via TKO at 5:00 in the first round.

Ivan Salaverry (12-5-1) lost to Rousimar Palhares (14-2) via armbar at 2:36 in the first round (after Palhares put on a jiu-jitsu clinic on how to attempt rear-naked chokes then transition to an arm-bar from the back).

And to the main card:

Thiago Silva (11-0) vs. Antonio Mendes (14-2)

Recap: Mendes seemed eager to show his striking ability with a series of head kicks, the first of which was blocked and still knocked Silva to the ground.

Mendes followed it up with knees and a kick to the body, then attempted a sweep, which failed and Silva was able to transition to a mount.

From the mount, Silva passed up several chances at a rear-naked choke before finally ending the fight via submission due to punches from the mount.

Result: Silva at 2:24 in the first round due to submission by strikes.

Question: Mendes, could you have done any more to prepare for this fight? Your strikes seemed perfect, where did you go wrong?

Tito Ortiz (16-5-1) vs. Lyoto Machida (12-0)

Recap: Almost the entirety of the three rounds of this fight can be summed up with "punch, counter-punch and evade". Ortiz would throw a jab or jab-cross combination, and Machida would jab to counter and evade a possible take down.

Machida controlled the action for all rounds of the fight. He struck Ortiz when an opening was present and evaded almost all take down attempts.

Ortiz became visibly irate at Machida avoiding him.

In the third round, with less than a minute remaining, Machida dropped Ortiz with a knee to the liver. From his back Ortiz almost secured a triangle, which he switched to an arm bar attempt.

Machida muscled out of the position and finished the round with strong strikes.

Result: Machida wins via unanimous decision.

Questions: Tito, was there really anything wrong with Machida's strategy? He avoided what you do best in your take downs. So what?

Why did you cop out with Dana White? You almost sounded apologetic after all the hype. Are you looking for a contract extension or something?

Wilson Gouveia (10-4) vs. Goran Reljic (7-0)

Recap: Reljic seems to desire to be the next Cro-Cop and was willing to throw a barrage of head kicks to prove it.

This worked for a while, until Gouveia retaliated with some excellent punches and Reljic seemed dazed enough to pull guard to avoid.

The fight continued into the second round with more of the same from both fighters. Finally, Reljic began to land his own punches, landing a hook that knocked Gouveia to the mat. It ended there, as Reljic rained down punches from the guard.

Result: Reljic wins via TKO at 3:15 in the second round.

Question: Gouveia, why did you give up on the boxing? You were controlling the fight when you confused Reljic with your punches! Just because someone hits you back doesn't mean you should let up!

Wanderlei Silva (31-8-1) Vs. Keith Jardine (13-4-1)

Recap: It took as long as it did for me to type the recap as it did for Silva to make his mark in the UFC.

Jardine came out with the idea that what worked on Chuck Liddell (leg kicks) would work on Silva. Wrong! Jardine landed one leg kick. Silva countered with a jab-cross-jab that knocked Jardine to the mat.

Silva finished the fight due to strikes from the top.

Result: Silva wins via KO at 0:36 of the first round.

Question: Jardine, what were you thinking? Silva is coming off three losses. He is one of the most feared fighters in MMA and you think you can keep him away with a leg kick? Really?

And now, for the main event of the evening:

BJ Penn (13-4-1) Vs. Sean Sherk (35-2-1)

Recap: if you think this fight was going to the ground, think again. For three rounds it looked more like Friday Night Fights than a UFC pay-per-view.

Penn and Sherk traded jabs and crosses for most of three rounds. Penn won all rounds thanks to a lightning quick jab and a reach advantage.

Sherk attempted to counter with hooks, but landed short nearly every time. By the end of the second round he had cuts under both eyes.

As the third round came to an end, Penn sent Sherk reeling against the cage. Sherk backpedaled and tried to bounce off the cage for a take-down. Penn countered with a perfectly timed knee that knocked Sherk to the ground.

Penn ended the round with strikes as the ref hovered over. As the bell sounded, Penn raised his arms in victory, wiped his gloves on Sherk's brow and licked off the blood to signal victory.

The ref called the fight.

Result: Penn wins via TKO at 5:00 in the 3rd round.

Question: Sherk, is Penn so dangerous on the ground that you were really willing to take jabs to the face for three rounds? And, if you (as you said in your own words) didn't hear the bell ring at the end of the round, isn't that a good sign that you were out?
