Remember the Kimbo/Thompson fight..
Damn, that blows..
I ask because Amir's one of those guys who looks like he's in trouble one minute, and then submitting you the next.
Sucks for Amir.
Like Forrest, he's just an easy guy to root for.

This loss for Forrest is so devastating i don't know where he goes from here? I mean this was the kind of loss that you might never get back on track from. Getting nothing done and being horribly KO'd is as bad as it gets. I love Forrest but i don't know what's next..
Can't anybody just fight Silva like he is suppose to do? Griffin was doing everything to lost the fight. On every occasion he got caught in counterpunch.
Where was a gamplan? Just before the fight?
LEites did a better job. Forest came in and wanted to exchange
he came into the octagon and wanted to brawl with silva. Forest go so much frustrated after Silva dropped him he had enough. His second loss in a row - so he went directly to the locker room. Maybe he got another fight scheudled for that night?
Silva would win with everybody in 205 division. There is only Lyoto out there for Silva.
However Evans when using his wrestling could be a legit opponent.
But I think Silva now cuts down to fight the winner of the Nate and Demian bout and then we will see. GSP or 205 again ? It's tough to jump up and down with the weight though.
Maybe Forrest-Bonnar 7, or whatever its up to now.
Forrest did try to brawl and i thought he would do better at it, because i expected more in and out from him. This is a guy that stood and survived 5 rds with Rampage for god's sake. But yeah he got dropped, then got pissed off and tried to brawl some more and that was lights out. You have to take Silva down. Standing and banging with him is a death sentance..Can't anybody just fight Silva like he is suppose to do? Griffin was doing everything to lost the fight.

I dont know how in the Drysdale thought Forrest was going to submit Anderson like that...oh well..

Yeah wade forward, stand and brawl, good idea..
I went to youtube to refresh my memory lol
Dan should not be reffing anymore, he has so many bad stops..
Going to sleep.. Later guys,
good night of fights..
Forrest is a brawler at heart and I was pretty sure it would be his downfall against a striker the likes of Silva. Forrest still has too many holes in his standup for someone like Silva. (Like there's someone comparable)
The only reason, at least imo, he survived 5 against Rampage was the leg kicks.
Brilliant strategy, and it definitely caught Rampage off guard, but I couldn't help but notice how Forrest was rocked against him.
Like I said before, Silva might not possess the raw power of a Rampage but it's close enough to where his superior precision was bound to destroy Forrest.

I'll be much more useful once I'm able to see the amount of fights the majority on here get to see, so I definitely defer to the majority of the posters I see here.
I'm just glad I've found another good community of posters.
it's almost 8am
And I have another low hour sleep night ...
I'm walking like zombie last few days
and I lost my cell phone:
Damn. Amazing. I wanna see Machida - Silva.
IMHO, Silva/Lyoto is probably the next most anticipated fight after the Fedor/Brock match was thrown out the window. Silva just looked so calm, like BJ back in the day, that I can't see the man ever facing anyone but Lyoto with the same kind of killer technique and general mystical fighter vibe. I hope it happens!
Forrest, poor Forrest. The guy wanted to brawl, but Silva is not Tank Abbott. It was so apparent after the first minute that this would not end well for him. He threw too many feelers, and Silva even timed those and cracked him good a few times. I definately think he was hurting before he lunged into Silva's fist. Tough times, but Bonnar/Forrest 15 might be able to cheer him up. There's no shame in losing to a guy like Silva, take a number and have a seat.
BJ vs Diego. I'm ready, who else is with me? WOOOOOOO!Also, I changed my mind about who will win the Penn/Florini fight. I'll go with Penn winning by submission in the fourth.Then BJ will pass the torch to Diego in his next le defense!
sad any one here reallythought bj or anderson would have lost those cans
Ugh. BJ Penn is a tool. What a travesty. The worst part? Florian might start getting behind the mic again as a commentator, and THAT, my friends, is scary. Poor Forrest -- but honestly, who didn't see that one coming? I'd still take GSP over Silva though.
p.s. Brock Lesner is gayer than 9 guys sucking 10 s.
It's good to see BJ and Anderson prove that they're still the best after all the hate they've been getting lately.
I have gone from cautiously optimistic about that fight to feeling like there is very little chance GSP can win. It would be back at 185 but the standup of Silva is just insane, very tough fight for my boy GSP.. Anderson would be a huge favorite..
Yep should be a great fight..
How Do You Like Anderson Now? Silva Magnificent in KO of Griffin
http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=21710
And Still….Penn back in Prodigious Form with Submission of Florian
http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=21714
Penn is still unbeatable at 155. Silva is still unbeatable PERIOD. And Stringer Bell is one of the great television villains of all time. NO DOUBT!
Its true, Fedor didnt come to the UFC because he was scared. But not of Brock Lesnar, he was scared of Anderson Silva...and rightfully so.
