re: the spider coasting to victory - just do it. I want to see him win 50 fights in a row. Will fans of MMA still be complaining about his fight plan then? Give me a break, he is maximizing his chances of winning. GSP, Anderson, and Machida, all have this same mindset. I for one love the chess match of it all. | |

I'll have to side with BID here. So not all his fights end in spectacular knockouts? So he doesn't take huge risks and go balls out just to please Dana and his fans? So he didn't want to commit and risk get taken down by a 5-time BJJ world champion whose ground game is out of this world? Yes, this is what champions do in established sports to win, Silva just doesn't realize MMA isn't one of those yet. Maybe some day it will graduate from pure entertainment to sports, and the biggest stars are the most talented and smart fighters, not only those who do everything to please the crowd. | |

The rules do reflect it, but they're not always enforced for various reasons, and those reasons have more to do with loopholes and lack of experience than in lack of desire to enforce. On top of that, the market reflects the unacceptable behavior anyways by lost interest and revenue |

i dont disagree. what happens in the ring is a product of the rules. |

Currently only regarding inactivity on the ground, and to a lesser extent in the clinch. Nothing in the rules says anything about running away. In some sports this is called a defensive strategy, in MMA it's currently called coasting. It doesn't impress drunken rednecks which I'm afraid makes up a large chunk of the paying customers, which makes it unpopular. I'm not saying I like it, just that it's well within the current rules and Silva would be from this perspective stupid not to take advantage of that, his market value suffering from this is of course a whole different matter. However, does it lower his worth as a fighter because of that? No. | |

Just to spit Silva's nuts out of my mouth, I actually think Sonnen has a decent chance of beating him. He's got a good chin, he's tough as nails and his wrestling is solid. If he gets Silva on his back, which I think he can (his total neutralization of the overweight Paolo Filho's lay'n'praying ass was mad impressive), I think Silva will be in loads of trouble. | |

I agree, however, I think that Sonnen should lose the fight. The reasons for this are that Silva is actually a pretty terrible matchup for Sonnen because Silva has literally perfected his sprawl and brawl capacity. Sonnen will chase him down, but Silva will be like super Chuck playing a very solid TDD and effective countering. I also suspect that Silva WILL look for the KO. If it's at all true that he hates being disrespected, he will find Chael giving him a verbal beating of all time. |

So pumped for tonight. Aoki/Melendez is the second most anticipated fight announced for 2010. Silva/Vitor was the previous second, but got cancelled, and Machida/Shogun 2 is ldo #1 |

Making an example only due to all the stuff they said about the strikeforce brawl. Funny though really, get rid of Daley for a cheapshot but sign Shields who did the same...?!?! | |

Fedor v Overeem will be after the Fedor v Werdum fight, they didn't give Fedor the shot on his first match because strikeforce wanna get a hype train and loads of money leading into the fight, pretty simple business shit really. | |

If the round 1 armbar was succesfull it would have been no different to any other of his fights (like vs coleman), after those 3 GnP hits he did nothing after that anyway minus like 2 knees against the cage in round 2. | |

So that's it? I mean, Carwin totally dominates first round, runs out of gas in the 2nd, and loses due to submission. No rematch? | |
