Wow.
Not saying he wasn't out anyway. But how unlucky to fall like that with one arm behind your back? |

This is the best-quality stream I've had in a long time, and I'm able to watch the best fight I've seen in a long time.

Wow, Silva had his ass handed to him for 23 minutes and 1 slip up. He wants no part of Sonnen in a rematch.

Wouldnt go that far, only took 1 shot on the chin after the guy had dominated him for 4 rds. After laying on the guy pounding on him, should have taken more than a punch to get him into submission. But great fight.

Sonnen kept him down, but never did any real damage at all.

He landed strikes, improved position, controlled Silva. That is as much as you will see a fighter dominated in the UFC. At this point I think GSP and Shogun are much more dominant in their weight classes then Silva. Silva isn't even a top 5 PFP now IMO. Fedor, Shogun, GSP, Bones Jones, and an in shape Penn would top the list.

Yet after 23 minutes of dominating him, took a single punch to get Silva into position for submission. Great fight, worthy of a rematch. But Sonnen didnt do much damage while dominating him. |

Exactly, but some guys just bleed and swell up easier then others. Stephen Bonner looks like a loser after every one of his fights. Still a fun card despite the crapping ending. Dos Santos is going to be a real threat to Brock, I always enjoy a Matt Hughes win, and Fitch is fun to watch grind out those W's despite is supposed lack of talent. |

I'm not really sure what you are arguing here, a few of those rounds could have been 10-8's.

Was a good card. Not sure what kind of threat Dos Santos could be to Brock. But Fitch just drags people into his type of fight. Dude just does what he does. Isnt flashy, but damn sure effective. |

Wow, other than the yawner Fitch fight, that was one hell of a card. Silva got very lucky. We'll see if Silva has the balls to give him a rematch.

Sonnen was way ahead on the card. But the fact all it took was a good Silva shot deep into the 5th rd to stun and effectively end the fight, means it was just that, ahead on the cards and dominating while not doing serious damage. |

Junior does a great job of stuffing take downs and is excellent with hands. He poses the biggest threat to Brock in the HW division IMO. Fitch is just gritty, he has become one of my favorite fighters along with Chris Leben. I don't know if he is going to get any better result against GSP then he did last time though, but who thought Sonnen would dominate Silva like that, or Edgar would dominate BJ like that. That's the beauty, you just never know.

MMA isn't a beauty contest. Guys don't have to get hurt to be dominated. Reps for nice Avi also.
