This was a fight where I bucked the trend and picked Silva. He was doing great until he got over confident in the second round and didn't force the standup. I think I have to give the last 2 rounds to Werdum.
R:3 A:4 S:5 T:4
In the preview section, I pretty much called this one. Silva early, but he gasses late, allowing Werdum to ride out the last two rounds with superior grappling. I still think Silva can be a top 10 fighter, but Werdum was a matchup problem for him. Too bad most of the division's Top 10 are in the UFC.
I rated it a 3.5
Which preview section madiq?
Do you really think he gassed? thought he just got beat up after going to the ground with Werdum, and totally unnecessarily.
I hope you're rating with the stars.
On the telecast could you see that the ref spent a very long time with a towel wiping down Bigfoot? Seems like he came into the cage with something on him. I never like to see that kind of thing.
Impressive showing from both guys, but really not a lot more than we can expect: Silva is a physical powerhouse, well rounded, with good, fast hands. Werdum is an ace grappler with good power in his standup and a lot of toughness, but it awkward and goofy when not just doing jiu-jitsu.
i did not notice any funny business with the towel.
