So if Shogun has another surgery will he loose the following fight and win the next after that?  |

Well he just cemented his legacy as the best 185 pounder ever. I wish somebody would actually be able to challenge him. Anderson never looks like he's in a fight.

Anderson Silva vs. Jon Jones. I don't give a flying . Silva has NOBODY left to fight at 185. Throw his ass to 205 pounds and see how he does there. At least those fights will be more interesting than fights at 185 against.... oh wait, he already beaten everybody. I'd rather see him at 205 rather than seeing my homeboys Hendo or Sonnen getting another shot at 185. Hendo/Silva at 205 though? Absolutely. |

I prefer GSP than Anderson Silva, but honestly I think Anderson would kill GSP if he went up in weight to fight him, if Silva was to drop then I'd not be so sure. I think right now Silva is best going up to light heavyweight, throw him in title contention against Jon Jones, it's a money fight.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Anderson Silva duck going up in weight class, be it ducking for one reason or another, I don't think he wants to chance having to fight Lyoto Machida.

He'll probably go back up for a fight at 205, or rematch with Hendo.
Lyoto probably has Franklin next, and I also smell a Minotoro/Shogun rematch too.

Big ing Nog, mother ers. Never doubt him again. Yeah, that was awesome. I'm surprised so many people were writing him off so quickly (especially against a guy like Schaub). Shogun looked great - although Forrest did seem to have his "I just want to get out of here" face on. Makes you realize how good Jon Jones must be. I was a bit disappointed in Okami... he didn't seem to have any gameplan or tactics (mind you - when you're fighting Silva, any gameplan can quickly go out the window...). I still say do Silva/Sonnen 2 next (providing Sonnen beats Stann) - the build-up, hype (and buy-rate probably) would be huge. Failing that, a rematch with Hendo sounds good... as someone pointed out though, do it at 205 - I'm not sure how effective Hendo would be back at MW, after fighting at LHW and HW recently. |

I definitely agree, he's the only guy right now that can argue that he gave Anderson Silva a fight, and he can hype a fight so much with his trash talking. I'm a big Sonnen fan as well as a Stann fan, but I'm hoping Sonnen wins. |

Anderson Silva. What in the hell can I say? I love that man. So composed, deadly, precise and hilarious! I had him at #1 P4P before this fight, but now it's not even a question.
Shogun won exactly like I had predicted. I might have to watch it again, but I can't remember Forrest even going for a takedown. A rubber match with Lyoto? Christ, Machida can't beat Shogun(again). Seriously, the only way I want to have to be subjected to that fight is if one of them get the belt back and the other is the clear cut number one contender.
Nog gets the KO. I went absolutely crazy over that! I had Schaub winning, as the safe pick, but Big Nog went in there, fought well, and got the job done. Nog vs Mir II?
Sick card. This has been an awesome year for the UFC IMO.

But I think Lesnar is pretty set on fighting Mir for his comeback fight, if the rumors are true. |

I took Nogueira over Schaub, and the legend came through with an excellent knockout. I tried to tell my buddy George Sotiroupolus (haha), but he picked Schaub over Nog. So happy for the big man, so happy.
Shogun = impressive.
Spider = greatest of all time, P4P.
Please, please, PLEASE let Sherdog still rank GSP over him P4P so I can laugh again.

I really don't want to ever see Sonnen get a shot again, as I don't believe he deserves to go right back into the title picture, but at the same time, I'd love to see Silva beat him again, just so all the haters can shut it.
I don't know if silva would move up to light heavyweight, I could see him fighting one of the top guys in the division in a catchweight bout though.

Man, that was awesome. Another successful and dominating win for Anderson Silva. He's the best, bar none. He made Okami look like a friggin' amateur. I knew Okami had ZERO chance of beating Silva.
I don't even want to see the GSP/Anderson "Dream fight" because I'm afraid of what might happen. I'm terrified Anderson might do the same thing to GSP that he did to Okami. Make him look like a first-timer and just school him.
Just an awesome, awesome win for Anderson Silva. NOBODY can beat him. Period.
Also, a HUGE KO win for Big Nog. That was awesome and I seen that one coming a mile away. I was texting my brother before the fight and told him "Schaub will get dropped" and soon after, Big Nog was victorious. That was awesome as well.
And Forrest...Man, he took a beating....I think we'll see Shogun/Machida 3, Forrest/Tito 3 and probably Silva/Hendo 2 and maybe Mir/Nogieura 2.
Just a great night of fights.

I do think Anderson would win, but it would be far from what happened to Okami. GSP's movement is good enough to dodge/counter a lot of Silva's shots, and the way GSP works the jab is fantastic, so he could use that as a weapon to wear Silva down a bit. GSP could also be one of the few to have a good chance with takedowns against him. GSP has enough skill to pose a problem for Silva, both of them feeling each other out in the first round or two would be interesting. I also think Silva would respect GSP as an opponent enough not to clown around and respect his abilities. If Silva just drops his arms and leaves himself open against GSP, bad things would happen. I want to see this fight, just to see what happens. |

Great fights last night! I loved the Anderson fight! No doubting that he is #1 P4P.
Shogun was impressive, but I was hoping Forrest could pull off another win against him.
very shocking KO by Big Nog. Incredible! I definitely thought it was Shaub's night though.

Man, I just find it funny and sad at the same time that Okami was the best UFC could throw at Anderson Silva and look how Silva made him look. He embarassed him. He made Okami look like a joke.
When Okami was being introduced, I was thinking to myself, "well, here's another punching bag for Silva to use for a few minutes" and that's exactly what he was. Anderson Silva beat the crap out of Okami and made him look like a friggin' first-timer.
Man, some of these guys just don't deserve to be in there with someone as good as Anderson Silva and that point was more than proven last night.
Anderson Silva is the best in the world. Period.
