I would doubt they would just let him go and fight silva right away, though silva still has to work his way up the 205 class. Maybe, they should put Machida vs Jones or one of the other guys, like rashad, or rampage. The kids got talent no doubt.

junior dos santos is frikkin amazing. and roy nelson needs to lose some damn weight. yeah they whole beer belly thing is cute to laugh at, but coming out like that to face junior dos santos is just dumb. awesome, comprehensive win for JDS. 

Fitch isnt the most exciting guy to watch fight, but hes technical and methodical and i absolutely love that. Plus he trains with my boy out of AKA, so gotta represent for the home team. All those UFC fans who were booing after 4 seconds of grappling need to just go watch WWE. I got plenty respect for thiago, but hes at an odd place with his height and weight. Hes too small  vertically to jump up a weight class, but hes too muscular to fight where he is. 

the heart in ricardo almeida is insane. he seriously refused to tap out, and matt hughes choked the crap out of him. 

silva, silva, silva. Am i the only one who never thought silva was going to lose that fight? Even going into round 5, i bet my friend silva would win, and now he owes me lunch. i do believe him about the ribs thing, he never really seemed into the fight completely, and even sonnen said he expected a lot more resistance from silva. I can't think of a fight hes had ever, where he looked that sluggish. Props to Sonnen, he did a lot of what he said he was going to do, and he clearly outstriked silva on the numbers. but one of the things people forget about silva, (probably bc he rarely takes abuse), is that he can eat punches like popcorn. how many times did we see sonnen wail on him, and silva not even look concerned. at one point silva just put his hands down and let sonnen hit him. twice. and even with the amount of abuse silva took, there wasnt a scratch on him. but he busted both eyebrows of sonnen, with elbows that werent even 6 inches away. if you looked at the fighters in the ring afterwards, you'd think that silva dominated sonnen the whole way through. 

 

it is hilarious though, that sonnen, who was disrespecting silva's black belt, ended up losing to a BJJ move. its no secret that sonnen doesnt have any JJ defense, 7 of his 11 losses have come by submission. the way he was leaving his arm on silvas chest was just asking for it. 

I totally agreeeeeee!!! I was really hoping that sonnen would go the distance. You dont talk all that trash, end up in the ring with the best, then back up the sh!t talk for 4 and a half rounds and tap to a triangle. you go to sleep!!! But all in all Sonnen held his own as long as he did and put a gauntlet on silva like i have never seen before. Such a good fight.

 

Alves looked like crap.  Fitch has a way of doing that to fighters but Alves looked super flat.  He needs to stay at a lighter weight in between fights so he doesn't have to make such dramatic weight cuts.

 

I agree, CO.  Did you notice how they BOTH looked like Cavemen??? Hilarious!!! Guida, Fitch and Silva each made me $20 on Saturday.  I lost $10 on the one prior to the Alvez fight (I can't remember their names but after round 1 I was just SURE my dude had it in the bag only to get knocked the EFF out with a straight left to the chin!!).

Guida is sick, hes non stop energy. I'm pretty sure he smokes a pound of crack with his breakfast. Im not interested in UFC 118 at all, not a big fan of Penn, and i couldn't care less about randy couture fighting james toney. Seriously, wtf? Is that the best Dana could do? Doesn't the UFC have enough steroid problems in the heavyweight class already with Lesnar? 

 

I have the same feeling.  I like Randy Couture but I really don't give a flying fk about this fight.  Are either one of them a contender for Lesnar's belt?  No.  BJ Penn has never really been one of my favorites, nor one that I'd pay to watch fight.  Plus, after 117, I have a feeling that I'm going to be let down no matter who is fighting.
