UFC 117: Anderson Silva

[CarolinaKid704]

Anderson Silva,

Your from a different planet, your on your own level. This guy has looked nothing less then the Micheal Jordan of the octagon.

One of the most classic fights in MMA history and one of the best comebacks in sports history. PERIOD. I saw the opportunity for a triangle about 1 minute before he went to it. I'm no Anderson Silva, so I assume he couldn't get to it when I initially saw the opening for it. But man, once he cranked it, there is no way anybody in that weight class is getting out of it. AMAZING fight.

Sonnen should be cut for that 'fake tap' poo he does. did the same thing against Fiho. lose like a man.

[IRONMAN]

Great fight but wish Sonnen had won it. He backed up his talk more than I ever thought he would and looked like he was on a mission. Silva reminds me of a Julius Peppers, he can do great things when he trys and is an athletic freak but doesn't have the heart to go for it all the time. When Silva fights he is great but I don't enjoy watching him prance around and act like a jackass the other 90% of the time.

I would hope for a rematch after that though and not 3 years down the road. I don't know what the UFC is doing with the heavyweights giving Cain Velasquez a shot at Lesnar then Dos Santos, give me a break. Should have been Carwin Lesnar 2 right around Christmas or New Years, now who knows when those two will fight again.

Great event all around tonight though, all the fights were awesome.

funny thing, i never started to worry until just a few seconds before Silva won. once i saw in the first round that Sonnen didn't have the punching power to actually end the fight, i knew that Silva would just bide his time until he saw an opening.

when Silva slipped and went down in the 5th i assumed it was over. then he rocked Sonnen from his back, got him to start defending instead of attacking, and slapped on a triangle. freaking incredible.

I would hope for a rematch after that though and not 3 years down the road.

immediate rematches are for controversial judges decisions like Shogun/Machida and Penn/Edgar. they aren't for submissions or knock outs. if you tap, you go to the end of the line.

Can we just have GSP and Silva fight and get it over with?

[Wanderlai]

GSP doesnt want to go up in weight to fight Silva.
