One Punch Doug Crashin
I AM INVINSIBLE!
Yea I saw the replay. And yes it was a clear tap. My mistake. Again, this fight was easily a FOTY candidate but as Silva just proved, all it takes is one mistake and BAM! GOOD NIGHT IRENE!

This is true, good call on that Sly. Sonnen does deserve a lot of credit for his ground and pound though. The big hole in his game was how he left his arms in too much. Silva had ample opportunities to go for submissions and eventually it caught up to Sonnen.
I completely agree.
I guarantee Fitch puts you to sleep.
Speaking of, I really hope Fitch doesn't get a title shot. I want to see Fitch vs. Hughes next. If there is one time I could tolerate Fitch laying on someone for three rounds, it would be in a fight against Matt Hughes.

Big Country needs to jog a bit more also.
I didn't think the Fitch fight was bad at all, but then again, I like the grappling stuff on the canvas.
The Holy One
What's really good?
If that isn't the truth, I was wondering if any of his body was muscle at all.
I do as well, but while Fitch went for the back a couple of times in this fight (more so than he's ever done before at least), there still wasn't much to be seen in this one other than one person laying on top of the other. Typical Jon Fitch fight.

Well I've gotten into three arguements on facebook so far over the main event. Fun stuff.
What's there to argue?
Sonnen kicked Silva's ass right up to the point Silva choked him out. What's there to argue about?

The thing is, Sonnen has incredible takedowns, and Silva has notoriously bad takedown defense... which was why back when this fight was announced back in February, that I knew that Sonnen would do exactly what he did last night. Rib injury or not, I think Sonnen would have executed his gameplan perfectly, and that's what he did for 23 minutes. We'll see what happens in the rematch.

This ruled so much:

Just about everything in that fight ruled so much from the punishment Silva took to that. I am really hoping they do a Silva Sonnen 2.

Shit like this gem.
Silva never "showboats" he shows only respect to the sport anytime he enters the ring. Sonnen made the mistake of taking it to the ground EVERY single round because he knew his stand-up was no match for Silva. His so-called "gameplan" obvio...usly DIDN'T work because he got caught. Not to mention this domination your talking about didnt exist in that fight, it was blatently apparent Silva was relaxed and thinking throughout the fight, only waiting for Chael to slip up, which he did. Chael gave a good fight but in the end he was no match for his, non-american MMA Hero.See More
