Here are my thoughts on this card. Wow was it boring. Two months ago i said Silva for the max and then i let a few doubts creep in my thick skull. Then an hour before the fight im thinking about the two times Silva dismantled Franklin and started thinking what does Forrest have that Franklin doesn't? So i start putting more on Silva and then right before the fight the way Rogan and Goldberg where trying to say what a match this is and how Forrest has the perfect style for Silva made me bet more then i wanted on Silva. I started thinking they couldn't be more wrong and were just hyping. So i did well on Silva. The last match i threw a little on Kenny and was really disturbed the way he fought. With BJ u never know what u are getting so that is basically why i took Kenny. During the fight I started thinking ''Who has Kenny really beating tho?" Im not disappointed in the play i was really betting against BJ being discipline. It just really disturbed me the way Kenny was fighting. I mean keep dragging BJ to the cage and do nothing. BJ could have fought ten rounds like that and what the hell is Rogan saying about this wearing BJ out? Good griefs leaning on the cage all night is gonna wear him out? What has happen to Rogan? Also put a little money on Neer and i knew it was done after the first take down but what really gets my goat is that in MMA it looks impossible for a guy to win one round being on the bottom. :shrug: Why even throw a punch and waste energy on the bottom? I see Neer trying submissions and throwing elbows and fist and he cant win one of those rounds? It is almost like nothing counts when u are on the bottom. Never again will i take a guy who can't stop a take down. IN closing what an embarrassing fight by Forrest. I remember him reduce to tears when Jardine knocked him out but boy did he look ever so embarrassed. This just shows u when guys want to fight Silva bad things are gonna happen and guys like Liettes will never make Silva look good. People need to get off Silva for that fight. The fuker Leittes ran all night like a little school girl. Hendo won't be scared and that one match against Silva will give him all the experience he needs for the rematch. Do i think GSP can beat Silva no. Do i think it would be one hell of a fight? Heck yes. GSP has talent. He isn't one of the toughest guys in the bar like Franklin and Forrest with glass chins.

Except Silva is as big or bigger than GSP, and won't let himself be taken down.

A slow footed Luger took Silva down and a 38 year old wrestler took him down. GSP will take him down. The guy with the most explosive takedowns in the history of this sport will do it unless he game plans like Forrest.

Sponge, I may be wrong but I don't think Rich has a glass chin. Yeah Silva KOd him but in the first fight Rich took a hell of a beating before he went down. The second was much of the same. Taking a beating and getting KOd is a lot different then a few hits that ko you. Or atleast that's the way I think.

The other thing is that Anderson has made almost every single guy he's fought look like they have a glass chin. Is it the chin or the fist?
