I foresee a Edgar vs Maynard main card as the lowest PPV buys in UFC history.

Maybe it's just me though.

Can we look forward to some good title fights now, next weekend?

Cause this Strikeforce card is fucking stacked.


DAN HENDERSON VS JAKE SHIELDS
GEGARD MOUSASI VS MUHAMMED "KING MO" LAWAL
GILBERT MELENDEZ VS SHINYA AOKI
JASON MILLER VS TIM STOUT

So excited.

[Rhyis.]

you would for sure need a great co-main or have it as a spike/free card

Title fight free on spike... That'd be so insulting lol. Would be hilarious.

Dana said at the press conference after the fights that Silva may be the first title fight on the prelims. He is SUPER pissed right now. It's hilarious.

[Rhyis.]

I love it lol

[Hitoshura]

Broken record indeed..

Silva is like the Andy Kaufman of MMA. Trolling everybody for his own amusement.

Dana White = Vince McMahon?

Anderson = Stone Cold?

WWF fans = Us?

I think ive seen this episode before.

Wow, Penn looked like shit fighting. It didn't even look like he was trying or gave a shit.

[Kyo]

I honestly didnt think Edgar had a chance, BJ looked horrible.

[Blarg]

The fight metric for bj edgar is up
http://www.fightmetric.com/fights/Edgar-Penn.html

I think the anderson fiasco is kind of overshadowing this. Though I did think the outcome was up in the air due to judging always being a bit iffy and with the 3rd round being contentious (metric gives bj the third by a bit) I thought BJ easily had the first 2 rounds.

Jordan breen on the beatdown after the bell just brought up the fact that the judge that had the fight 50-45 for edgar has been the lone judge in several bad calls before which is a shame because some investigation into these judges would have been useful since 112 was overseas the UFC was responsible for which judges came.

I admit to being highly entertained by the first 2 rounds of the Silva fight, but after that, shit just got boring. At the beginning of the fight, I playfully cheered on the underdog just cause Silva had such obscene odds in his favor. I didn't actually care at that point and was kinda looking forward to seeing, basically, a demonstration on how an expert fighter completely takes apart some guy that a lot of people have never even heard of. It was like an episode of DBZ: You already know what's gonna happen, so you just sit and watch in anticipation of Goku going SSJ and annihilating whoever is in his way this week.

By the end of the fight, however, I was genuinely hoping that Demian (sp?) would score some lucky fluke KO just to see Silva's world collapse.

[Firedemon]

I thought I was watching Comedy Central during the Silva fight.

A few weeks ago brock lesnar bet anderson that he couldn't be a bigger heel and anderson, never one to back down from a challenge, down took him up on the bet

[Krandor]

After tonight and the Leites fight I don't think I'm ever ordering another card with Silva on it, which I think Dana White is expecting alot of people to now do. I think in losing Maia gained more fans then he has in any of his victories. Sadly the only fights I've seen of his has been this and the Marquardt fight, but after tonight I'm anxious too see him improve and try again for the title later, cause he sure as shit is gonna be motivated to improve his game now, and is probably going to have a ton of support for it.

All in all was a pretty bad night, Munoz impressed the hell out of me with his ability to take a beating, and even if it wasn't the greatest fight I always like watching Matt Hughes, but overall shitty night.

Edit: lol @ blarg

[Rhyis.]

I actually thought most of the fights were good, minus the Silva fight.

Silva is like the Andy Kaufman of MMA. Trolling everybody for his own amusement.

I'm changing my mind and saying Silva actually is Andy Kaufman back from the dead. Next he'll be lounge singing as this guy again
