==={{flagicon| JPN}} [[William Roosmalen]] vs. {{flagicon| USA}} [[Ralph White]]===
===2003 Invasion of Iraq===
William Roosmalen defeated Ralph White by KO (knee to the body).
Keller was one of the leading liberal supporters of the 2003 [[Iraq War|invasion of Iraq]], explaining his backing for military action in his article '[http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50914F6395F0C7B8CDDAB0894DB404482 The I-Can't-Believe-I'm-A-Hawk Club]'. Two days after the invasion, Keller wrote the column '[http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0915F634550C718EDDAA0894DB404482 Why Colin Powell Should Go]'
arguing for US Secretary of State's resignation because his strategy of diplomacy at the UN had failed. In contrast, Keller was much more sympathetic to Deputy Defence Secretary [[Paul Wolfowitz]], describing him as the '[http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30D13FE3C540C718EDDA00894DA404482 Sunshine Warrior]'.

==={{flagicon| BRA}} [[Renzo Gracie]] vs. {{flagicon| JPN}} [[Sanae Kikuta]]===
===NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program===
Gracie defeated Kikuta by submission (guillotine choke) at :43 round 6.
Keller is reported to have refused to answer questions from ''The Times'' Public Editor, [[Byron Calame]], on the timing of the [[December 16]], [[2005]] article on the [[classified information|classified]] [[National Security Agency]] (NSA) [[NSA electronic surveillance program|Terrorist Surveillance Program]]. ''The Times'' series of articles on this topic won a [[Pulitzer Prize]]. The source of the disclosure of this NSA program has been investigated by the [[United States Justice Department]]. The NSA program itself is being reviewed by the [[Senate Judiciary Committee]] as to whether it sidesteps the [[Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]], and after ''The Times'' articles, the Administration changed its procedures, allowing for more safeguards and more Congressional and judicial oversight.
 
==={{flagicon| TRI}} [[Gary Goodridge]] vs. {{flagicon| BRA}} [[Marco Ruas]]===
===SWIFT===
Ruas defeated Goodridge by submission (Heel Hook) at 9:09 of round 1.
Keller and ''The Times'' also published a story on another classified program to monitor terrorist-related financial transactions through the [[Brussels|Brussels, Belgium]]-based [[Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication]] (SWIFT) on [[June 23]], [[2006]]. Many commentators, [http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YjE4ODFmMmI3ZmM5ZGE4ZDQxNmY1ODA5YTQ3NzkxZWQ] as well as some elected officials such as [[U.S. Congressman]] [[Peter T. King]], [http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/politics/la-na-paper26jun26,1,2766639.story?coll=la-news-politics-national&track=crosspromo] called for the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute ''The New York Times'' and the [[Journalism sourcing|confidential sources]] who [[news leak|leaked]] the existence of this [[counter-terrorism]] program despite relevant [[statute]]s that forbid revealing classified information that could threaten [[national security]], especially in a time of [[war]].
 
==={{flagicon| CRO}} [[Branko Cikatic]] vs. {{flagicon| USA}} [[Mark Kerr]]===
In an attempt to respond to criticism stemming from the disclosure of the classified [[Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication#Terrorist Finance Tracking Program|Terrorist Finance Tracking Program]], the NSA program's official name, Keller stated in a published [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/25/business/media/25keller-letter.html/partner/rssnyt?_r=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=all letter] that [[George W. Bush|President Bush]] himself had acknowledged as early as [[September 2001]] that efforts were underway to "to identify and investigate the financial infrastructure of the international terrorist networks" and "to follow the money as a trail to the terrorists." In an [[Op-ed]] column in ''The Times'', Keller, together with ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' editor [[Dean Baquet]] wrote that "Our job, especially in times like these, is to bring our readers information that will enable them to judge how well their elected leaders are fighting on their behalf and at what price." Keller's critics, including [[U.S. Treasury Secretary]] [[John W. Snow]], responded to Keller's letter by pointing out that there is a vast difference between stating general intentions to track terrorist finances and the exact means employed to achieve those goals. But, as Keller wrote, this was the same Secretary Snow who invited a group of reporters to a 6-day trip on a military aircraft "to show off the department's efforts to track terrorist financing."
Cikatic was disqualified for grabbing the ropes at 2:14 of the first round.
