Last Saturday, I attended Revolution Fight League's Maximum Impact show at the Horseshoe Casino and Hotel in Southern Indiana. There were some great fights on the card that made for some hard choices for the FightTicker.com Night Honors. However, three stood out above the rest.

Here are my picks for the Night Honors:

This past Saturday, I got the opportunity to attend a Revolution Fight League show, Maximum Impact, at the Horseshoe Casino and Hotel in Southern Indiana. I had initially planned on live blogging at the event, but when I arrived I was asked to provided commentary for the event as it was being recorded. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance. I recruited Dusty Adams from ProMMA to help me out and the two of us commentated the entire event. However, a friend that accompanied me to the show took some notes as the event was going on so that I was able to provide this recap. Thanks to my buddy Billy Redmon for taking notes throughout the event. Full event results are after the jump.

Silver Star has just released the Commemorative GSP Tee for UFC 100. This is not GSP's walkout tee but a special shirt made to commemorate GSP's involvement in UFC 100. FightTicker.com members had a shot to win this tee in the recent UFC 99 contest sponsored by Silver Star and will once again have a chance to win this and other great Silver Star gear in the upcoming UFC 100 contest.

Silver Star has risen quickly in the MMA sponsorship world, picking up the likes of Anderson Silva, Rashad Evans, and GSP among others, and most recently teaming up with American Fighter to make a special collaborative walkout shirt for Rich Franklin in his recent bout against Wanderlei Silva. For more information on that, check out the most recent episode of Cageside Seats, brought to you by the Fight Ticker Radio Network.

(A Note from FightTicker.com Blogger Brian Furby: FightTicker.com member Lee Jacobs -- aka Leebo Jakes -- recently did a favor for me by covering the KYFC 51 show. Afterwards, he was able to catch up with amateur fighter Matt Metts, the subject of a recent profile I did, to talk about his debut win in MMA. You can find what Metts had to say about his win, his opponent, and more on his fight prep after the jump. )

A couple weekends ago, I attended the "ICF Invades Indiana" show in Aurora, Indiana. It was an exciting night of fights with none going to a decision.

Here are my picks for the Night Honors:

From a Press Release:

KYFC # 52 will be held at 4 Seasons Gym located at 951 Floyd Dr. in Lexington Ky. The doors open at 6:30 P.M. and the fights start at 8:00 P.M. We offer the best food and drinks and some great MMA vendors. This fight location has become one of the best places to fight in the state with sold out fans that love their MMA.

(A note from FightTicker.com blogger Brian Furby: Because I was attending the ICF show in Indiana I asked fellow FightTicker.com member Lee Jacobs (aka Leebo Jakes), a friend of mine and longtime MMA enthusiast to cover the KYFC # 51 in Lexington, KY for me. Lee took the time to get all of the results to me as well as his picks for the Night Honors. Full results and the Night Honors are after the jump. )

One of the fighters on this weekend's Kentucky Fighting Challenge card in Lexington, KY is Matt Metts who will be making his amateur MMA debut.
