    Anderson was being conservative and Leites wasn't exactly pushing the action.

    Being a Brazillian Anderson loves his football. How silky he uses football moves in MMA. He just makes up new moves off the cuff. He's an artiste and fighting is his art

    I truly beleive Silva is going to try to get out of his ufc contract to get that fight with Roy Jones ..His contract with the UFC is the only obstacle from making this fight happen ..And after last night's poor performance I beleive it more .

    I think his next fight if it's against Maia will be the same but the winner of Hendo-bisping would be better for action wise. He really needs to go to LHW and challenge himself rather then do these sparring sssions which he doesn't even seem interested.

    Just because you haven't seen a move doesn't mean he made it up on the spot, that is a capoeira move its used as a sweep.

    Silva wasn't concerned about stopping Lietes he just wanted to be flashy and try moves out like a hotdogging fool. He is too big and fast for most....no ALL 185ers. Going DOWN to fight GSP or having GSP go UP to fight should never happen. Silva NEEDS to go up to 205 and fight guys like Rashad, Griffin, Jackson, Shogun, guys that he isn't SO much bigger then.

    Yeah, put Marquartd vs him or Hendo in a rematch, and after that, let him fight always at 205. Or Maia, after that.

    I hope Henderson gets a rematch, I give him a decent shot of upsetting Silva.

    I don't know about that one. I think in a rematch it ends faster with Silva being victorious again. It seems once he got to see what Henderson brought to the table he figured him out and finished the fight.
