    Uh not at all. Round 1-2 brought excitement, I admit round 3 was awful. It was still better than the Woodley/Wonderboy fight.

    You complained about boring ground work period lol...... Yeah I wanted Sonnen to get KO'd. No **** Sherlock! But only complained when there was absolutely nothing going on the ground, during which McCarthy was constantly warning both fighters to work.

    Does Chael smash Fedor into pieces too? I think he could get clipped too and go out lol, it's not a bad fight.

    Larkin/Lima delivered. The upset of Aaron Pico was pretty badass as well. Low of the main card was Chandler being injured, otherwise it wasn't too bad and solid overall.

    Why are you complaining about sonnen then? It was Silva looking like a ****ing ****** holding onto Chael trying to stall. Yes, I complained about boring ground work because I couldn't care less about the fighter. If I'm rooting for someone I want them to do anything they can to win, and Chael did that. I enjoyed it.

    Don't care about the rest of the card, only here for Sonnen/Silva, and it wasn't awful.

    I don't think he has the power to trouble Fedor...And Fedor still has a ton of heart unlike Sonnen as the fight with Maldonado proved. Fedor KO inside 2 rounds.

    Fedor still has enough to KO him, this is really who Fedor should have fought instead of Mitrione

    I just don't want people to complain that a shot to pieces Sonnen is fighting a Fedor who just got KO. Let's get it next. I got Sonnen by ground and pound! **** fedor.

    Silva came to fight, Sonnen came to lay and pray. I can't stand the latter. That's why I'm complaining. Simple.

    Yet you complained about boring ground fighting in the previous fight. Hypocrisy at it's finest lol.

    Yeah Mitrione was probably the worst possible matchup for this shot version of Fedor on the Bellator roster. Sonnen would have been a lot better.

    I enjoyed the fight because both nearly got stopped right away. That didnt happen in the other fight. You didn't feel excitement when Silva first got taken down and was almost stopped, then when he got up and landed a shot that dropped Chael? The fight had some drama at least. You need to stop looking at things in such a simplistic matter.

    No I had no qualms with Sonnen taking it to Silva early, the fight(on his end) was living up to the billing at that point. After that he was content to do nothing else but lay and pray with the occasional weak submission attempt from there on out..
