Got to indogo Joes about 6:30 and couldn't even wait inside for a table the place was so packed for the football game... Chuck looked good but really should have tried to finish instead of waiting out a decision, GSP was an animal and Hughes has given up? Really a good night of fights overal IMO

Overall I thought the card was great. I agree Chuck should have finished him off, he kinda looked like he knew he'd win a decision and respected Silva's KO power. I think that fight lived up to the hype. And really I think the way it turned out works for both of their careers. Silva stood with one of the best fighters. Now I'd like to see Silva-Griffin or Silva-Ortiz.

And GSP is a bad bad man...

Machida also looked good- still undefeated, whos next for him. I hope the UFC makes Wand the guy you have to beat to be a real contender- he always brings it and puts on a good show. Whats next for Chuck now? Tito again maybe?

I couldnt *BELIEVE* Chucks takedowns.... he was def in the zone last night. I was a bit disapointed by Sokoudjou, I was hoping to see some bigger tosses. GSP didnt disapoint though!! And wtf w/hughes going to his southpaw wrestlers footing?? Is his boxing really that poor that he can just switch like that?? I cant *WAIT* to see GSP/Serra 2!

I have to say this was one of the better cards i have seen. Exceptional conditioning for all but a couple fighters. And I thought really only one snoozer Eddie Sanchez def. Sao Palelei. Really at this level conditioning should not be an after thought.

Clementi owned Guillard
Machida was incredible. He is a machine. real clean. He isn't flashy but he is proficient. I think he is someone to watch .....
So much for the Nay Sayers and all the Liddell should retire yakkers. Silva is an absolute monster and I think Chuck fought a great fight. As far as finnishing Silva? He wasn't going to get finnished. Chuch was smart and fought smart at the end.
St. Pierre will do the same to Serra that he did to Hughes. No one can touvh him right now. He is the man to beat in that weight class.

Hughes was boxing southpaw because that is how he shot in during his wrestling days, a lot of collage wrestlers have to switch to shoot from their stand up stance. Hughes was just trying to add an axtra second on his.

I couldn't believe Silva didn't go down. I've never seen any other fighter absorb that many shots from Liddell and stay up. What does that say about Dan hederson's power considering he knocked out silva with his left hand after he broke his right hand in their last Pride fight!
