    Just what I think anyway.... it was great watching Silva fight as usual.... but I suppose UFC has too uch grappling on the floor for me to fully appreciate it.

    I will say it was one of the weaker UFC cards of recent memory. But dont compared it to boxing almost every boxing PPV you get 3 undercard fights that will have guys either circle each other or clinch for 12 rounds then by the time 36 rounds and nearly 3 hours have passed your sleeping during the main event.

    Maybe, but you still got to see two of the best fighters in the world.

    The only fight worth a **** was BJ Penn and Florian. Amir was a bs stoppage. Pelegrino sucks balls and gave us 3 rounds of LNP. Forrest did not seem right tonight. Every little pitty pat knocked him senseless. Did not look right to me.

    Just for Silvas seminal performance, this is one of the best. You dont see artistry like that in any sport. There were about 20 people watching with me, everyone was flabbergasted. Performances like these elevates MMA it combined unbelievable technical proficiency along with the spectacular

    Forrest faced was ****ed up from teh first strike, he was totally outclassed. Silva isnt the fighter youd need to fix fights for. He's a highlite reel in itself when he wants to be.

    Fixing a fight in the UFC will not be a risk that Dana and the fertittas would take. If proven, this is would be one of the worst business decisions ever. Any business student would know that there is no point in fixing fight especially for a product that desperately want to be taken seriously.

    Not saying it was fixed but it did not look right. I honestly thought there might be a problem with Forrest. Who knows. Silva ko1.

    Usually when you get your ass kicked there is something wrong because the other guy made something wrong.

    Well I think I know what you mean when you say that. However a motivated Silva made Leben look alot worse then he really is his hell he made him look like the worst fighter alive. Silva made Henderson and Franklin look like they belong on your local club shows. Forrest just doesnt have the speed and skill to put anything on Silva and has never had a great chin.
