I got Sonnen, but I think he's gonna get griffin'ed
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

In my fantasy bubble Sonnen wins via 4th round peruvian neck tie but I think that Silva will win by 2nd Rd TKO

^ that was exactly my prediction.

It's prob good for the sport if Sonnen wins, but I gotta back Silva.

Ridiculously amped for this one!!

check out the shoulder check:

I thought that top to bottom (including prelims) the card was stale with not much action.
I did like the 3 fight that were finished.
I thought that Maia was doing an impression of Rousimar Palhares when he stopped fighting.
Forrest seems to be a sore loser (even when he wins).
Glad to see Silva and Sonnen keep it classy in the post fight interview.

Yep was a pretty stale card for sure.

The main event was exciting as hell though... wished it woulda gone a little longer, round 1 was epic.

I feel really bad actually for Sonnen, hope he's all right

McKenzie looked fucking sick, and I don't mean in a good way lol

we called it! - i should've put a bet down

Silva Sonnen was so epic, Anderson dropped his hands after stuffing Chaels TDs got everyone psyched.

I thought the card overall wasn't too bad, wasn't expecting much from Tito/Griffin

I have been watching the gifs, and am slowly coming to the conclusion that Chael dropped not only because he overextended the spinning elbow, but because Silva TRIPS HIM with his foot.

Seriously, take a look:

Sonnen likely would have gone down anyways, but if Silva is doing these kind of subtle things in the fight I am even more impressed with the guy

I that was just coincidence and Sonnen ran into Anderson's leg on accident
