Not sure if it's a good or bad thing to get under Anderson's skin to be honest. I mean sure you might put him off his game but having an angry Brazilian trying to knock your teeth out coming in there with bad intentions isn't something I'd want to deal with TBH.

Sonnen is going to be all over Silva like a bad rash from the opening second, we already know he can't give Silva distance to strike from, does it really matter?

Im going for Sonnen but I think he'll get dominated if he doesnt take down Silva early. If he gets caught up in the early exchanges, it is going to be a very easy night for Silva.

Sonnen by decision or Silva by decision/tko.

Sonnen came out and looked awful in the second after looking so determined in the first.

Griffin vs Ortiz fight was awesome.

All the others were very underwhelming really.

Problem with Sonnen is he just doesn't to enough damage when he's on top in a fight, he had Silva in mount and did no damage at all

Well done by Silva, stayed very calm with Sonnen laying all over him in the first.

Great takedown defense in the second.

Limited submission skills.

Not just that, his ground and pound just isn't good enough. You get a great wrestler like Tito, Jones, Cain, etc on top of you for a few rounds I guarentee you're not getting lucky with any ladies any time soon, Sonnen's ground and pound is like being hit by your little sister with a foam bat

What a description :lol:

I wasn't disagreeing but less weapons makes you easier to defend against and less opportunities present themselves. His ground game, and even ground and pound, would be more effective if he had some catch wrestling. Ideally, he should have been incorporating that into his game for years. Silva looked very calm for someone on their back in that first round.

And, the spinning backfist, I know he was dazed at the time but c'mon mang :lol:

The spinning backfist was the move of a desperate man afterSilva stuffed a few takedowns. It's abit of a problem when a guy can be in full mount for a minute and a half and do no damage at all

Good win for Te Huna but jesus did Weidman destroy Munoz. Holy shit. Munoz is awesome but Weidman made him look like a guy lucky to be in the UFC. That finish was sickening! Terrible stopage by rosenthal though... How he let that go on for so long I'll never know. Munoz was out pissing blood ffs

They were saying they wanted someone to stand up for a shot at Silva - Weidman did that. No way they can give Boetsch or Lombard a shot over that. Extremely impressive!
