Several good fights on this card. I am very glad to see Nogueira get his knockout victory over Brendan Schaub. I was worried it would end up opposite. I also figured Forrest Griffin would get unconscious, which he almost did, but was a TKO by Shogun Rua. Now Forrest Griffin and Shogun Rua have fought twice, and each has won one. Rematch? Also to consider, is Forrest Griffins wife was evidently in labor about to give birth to their child while Forrest was fighting.
I kind of figured Anderson Silva would run through Yushin Okami, and he did…a 2nd round TKO…I saw the moment where Okami decided he didn’t want anymore of this fight. He was dazed, and just quit defending himself. Chael Sonnen has been very outspoken about his dislike for Anderson Silva, and Chael has been training Yushin Okami for this fight, and repeatedly said how Okami was coming home with the championship belt. It didn’t happen. However, Chael did make a statement on his Twitter, saying “We call Andy “champ” like we call developmentally disabled animals “champ.” Good boy, Andy, good boy!”
Also, I think there was a record number of hats stolen from fighters as they walked to the cage.
