I know this is OT and all, but i scored Penn v Edgar 48-47 to BJ

(maybe that's why the NSAC aren't ringing me up to step in for Cecil though)

I had it 48-47 Edgar

Smells like rematch material to me :pac:

I think everyone knew in the back of their mind that silva would pull something off..

barry181091

I don't think Silva will want a rematch for at least 6 months, so he can work on his ground game...Sorry I mean acquire any sort of a ground game :P

Nemanja91

I think bjpenn.com has the conference if anyone is interested

barry181091

But im a noob, not even that with this sport so I don't have a clue really :P

Not me, I thought he could but wouldn't be up for it. It's really annoying to see him lose though. Winning all 5 rounds and then all that effort goes up in smoke within 5 seconds.

MMA is a bastard like that!

I couldn't stop myself from laughing when Silva put on the Gi with his "Happy Meal" Blackbelt at the end.

Fair enough he caught Sonnen in a choke but he never once in the first four rounds controlled where the fight was going on the ground.

Beautiful turnover by Sonnen in the 4th.

Immediate Rematch!!!

He won by triangle...... seems he already has a ground game!

Although he DID get his Black Belt with a Happy Meal :P

Presser will be starting here soon

TY very much.

barry181091

I hear the media saying rematch Woo.

ScareGilly

I'm pissed that Chael lost, but even more pissed that Silva got sub of the night? Matt Hughes definitely deserved it..

barry181091

Imagine a rematch in the O2 I know its wishful but a guy can dream

In Brazil they'd beat you over the head and take your Mighty Mac Burger

Brock is fighting Fedor in the O2!

MrStuffins

Chael made this a really anticipated fight.

A rematch will seriously be one of the most anticipated fights in history.

Not only will everyone who watched tonight be dying for it, but Chael actually has a TON of ammo for his mouth now!

SDTimeout

Not confirmed for rematch yet.

I'm not sure what i'd like to see

Anderson would never make weight for his fights if they had supermacs in Brazil seen as he eats 2 Big macs the night before weigh ins (or something like that). If he discovered the "superior" mighty Mac meal we'd see a more Big Country looking Silva!

FOTN : Guida / Dos Anjos
KOOTN: Struve
SOTN: Anderson

There are my predictions.

WHAT, are you serious

That is to give Sonnen his win bonus

MrStuffins

this was such an incredible card!

This was even close to 116 and i thought 116 was the best UFC card of all time!

He deserves SOMETHING!

barry181091

Sorry, what is this FOTN ?

No doubt but they should have given two FOTN's in that case

Really?? I thought 115 & 116 were far better then tonight! Don't get me wrong, it was good but not great! We've been spoiled since the disaster that was UFC 112, they've got the finger out & put together some class cards since then!

MrStuffins

Dana and Thiago texting

Thiago: "Sorry Dana, i'll be back"

Dana: "Yeah, at 185 you will!"

Yeah, 116 was better. My favourite of all time.

I'd rate tonight higher than 115 though.

Dude, 116 would've made your head explode (figuratively)

Then the thread on UFC116 here and the arguments in it would've made your head explode (literally)

ScareGilly

Chael has arrived!

Holy sh1t, he's so disappointed/angry at himself

Edit: YES! Back to his best again!

Edit again: Hmm,, he's already used that line

Spoke twice, Two erruptions of laughter.

Silva , Sonnen TUF ?

My feed gave out just as the lads walked in!

Chael is awesome! "Fighting Anderson is like eating Chinese food... 20 minutes after you do it, you wanna do it again"

:pac:

Also, Chael looks the more beat up guy. Madness!

I must be the only person who loved seen Chuck Liddell KTFO then!!

I dunno why, but I was just disappointed with the main event, I wanted Silva to win before the fight & he really showed he deserves to be champ, it was just such a weird fight! I think I had too much expectations of a striking clinic from Silva after the Leites & Maia fights! Was even more shocked at his Bjj in the 1st couple of rounds! He didnt move his hips or do anything off his back till the 3rd! IMO the 1st 2 rounds were 10-8's Sonnen, I dont think he attempted a sweep or hip escape till the 4th! Will have to watch again!
