Just saw that Dennis Hallman fought on the card. I guarantee we see Hughes-Hallman III in the next year. Hughes says he's taking off the fall and then him and the UFC will talk, but I KNOW that is a fight he has wanted badly for a long time. Another Hallman submission would be epic.

3. In the 1st (I think) Silva caught one of his kicks (which usually means bad things) but he did this awesome flip to get out of it.

Phil Davis is the other fighter I'm really excited about for the future (I love former NCAA wrestlers turned MMA fighters)

Bones Jones will eventually be a champion. He has wrestling and striking skills.

MMA Live's recap..

http://espn.go.com/extra/mma/blog/_/name/mma



Next for Silva: Vitor Belfort, a radically different style matchup that promises to put more of Silva's beautiful striking on display.

Next for Sonnen: a fight with Wanderlei Silva to line up a post-Belfort opponent.

Next for Roy Nelson: He showed a chin but not much else against Junior dos Santos; slipping into gatekeeper status.

Next for Jon Fitch: Flipping a coin with Josh Koscheck to see who trains outside of AKA for their inevitable fight.

Next for Matt Hughes: A three-match with Dennis Hallman, who beat Ben Saunders on Saturday's undercard. (Hallman beat Hughes by submission -- twice -- early in their careers.)



Sonnen lost as respectably as you can. But it's still a loss. He had an advantage for 23 minutes and couldn't finish the fight. When Silva had the advantage for 10 seconds, he could. Who's the better fighter?

If Chael would not tap instinctively he would continue ...

As i watched it again, Chael tapped to the arm bar not the choke. It was originally the choke, but when he sat back, Anderson grabbed the arm and Sonnen immediately tapped. odd.. it must have been very tight

it was funny Silva leaned back and was doing that hold with one hand at the very end and was still able to get Sonnen to tap, so it must have been very tight

You are surprising me

It was known from the very begining. It was quite good to see it.

Anderson let it all he got to finish him. Frickin fuck

Main card

Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva (c) vs. Chael Sonnen

You kidding? A dancer vs wrestler. You pick a winner in a fighting contest. Easy pick.

Srsly: Anderson is on another level, but how fun is to hear Sonnen and, he can wear Silva down. He needs like 3 rounds. Against Maia Anderson was unable to do anything in the 4th and 5th. I don't know if Sonnen will try to stand up a bit with Silva or just goes for double leg early. he must to do it carefully cause he can get kneed.
Jeeeezz I want Anderson lose so much :)
I WILL RETIRE THIS GUY

:D FUN TA STIC


Welterweight bout: Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves

Fitch wants to make a big statment. There is no way he is not gonna get a title shot after he wins this. Still there is Shields vs Kampmann in contention

Lightweight bout: Clay Guida vs. Rafael Dos Anjos

[I]Hate Guida


Welterweight bout: Matt Hughes vs. Ricardo Almeida

Almeida will smash a legend. Going division down was a good move for Ricardo.


Heavyweight bout: Roy Nelson vs. Junior Dos Santos

JDS vs Velasquez for HW championship early 2011 !!1

haha I had to
