I'd be very interested to see if Alves can hold his own at 185. Guy will be super ripped at 5'9 in 185.
he's almost too bulky in his chest and arms...all that extra mass isn't going to translate into THAT more functional power and strength for fighting.

WOW....he was no where close to being cut.
Dana was probably full of shite, but he DID say it.

That was his tough guy schtick. No way do you cut a guy like AS.
And I can't believe how badly 2 of my favorite fighters have been humbled in the past month. First fedor, now silva. I guess I should fully expect koscheck to dominate gsp?

Its going to take a Chuck Liddell skillset to take out GSP without a "punchers chance" type deal.

@ the barrel roll Anderson is pretty good at catching kicks. Got James Irvin real good

I'm sure it's been said enough, but I felt so bad for Sonnen. He fought with pure emotion and took it to him.

Johnny Hendricks needs a big step up in competition and fights on the main card. I wish Fitch would have lost so they would have made that fight to see Fitch when he can't frick someone over their shorts for 15 mins.

I was at a loss for words after that fight last night. Did Silva have a gameplan or did he just decide not to execute it at all? It looked like he was sleepwalking throughout the first 23 minutes. He barely made an effort to get up after the takedowns and seemed content with hitting Sonnen with elobows from the bottom the first 4 rounds. I am starting to believe he is really fricked mentally.
Yay, John Fitch won by leg hump.....again. And will get destroyed by GSP....again.
Dos Santos is a dangerous man. I have to give fat boy Nelson credit though - he is one tough SOB. He took a shitload of punishment and kept coming forward.
Is it time for Ricardo Almeida to get his walking papers? I know his record is decent but I have never been impressed by this guy.

And an impressive 8th straight decision.
How did everyone know the co-main event was going to be the most boring fight on the card.

"We were just texting a few minutes ago and he said, ‘Hey, I’m sorry about that. I’ll come back stronger.’ I said, ‘Yeah, at one 185 you will.’ He said, ‘No, I want to stay at 170.’ It’s not like this guy has been off for a year, he looked lethargic tonight. He looked slow. He doesn’t belong at 170. He belongs at 185 pounds. It’s (expletive) to have guys make weight and have guys not make weight, especially at this level. When you’re in the UFC, your job is to make weight. Everyone else made weight that day, so it wasn’t the scale. He didn’t come in on weight, period. Believe me, I didn’t think Thiago didn’t want to make weight. He can’t. Could he have cut that half a pound? Maybe he couldn’t have. Maybe he cut so much weight that mentally, it would have broke him to go cut that last half a pound and that’s (expletive). I guarantee he can make 185 and he’ll never have a problem at it."
Well that about sums it up and puts that issue to bed.

and Alves won't be much at 185 IMO.

A decent journeyman
Swick and Almeida faired well at 185.
Sherdog had to be in full meltdown mode last night

Sorry if it's been covered, but why didn't Sonnen run around the ring that last round? He clearly won the first 4 round. Did that not go with his, "I'm going to take the fight to Silva and retire him," motto?

Maybe because he would have looked like a big pussy ?

This is amazing.
At the end of the fight, Silva looked like he could have gone clubbing without showering; Sonnen looked like a lower-tier ECW wrestler despite hitting Silva 5 times more.
