If there's someone who'll beat Tim Sylvia, it's Cheick Kongo...that guy's a beast!

Franklin is going to ruin Silva. Much to the dismay of many who think Silva is going to win.

Ken-Flo is going to get killed. Hell Little Evil lost las ppv. Who knows.

Wow what a fight! Franklin looked like an amateur compared to Silva. No one else in the 185lb divison will have any chance at him. They're going to have to actually pay for some decent talent if they want to give Silva a challenge.

But there is nobody out there for Middleweight. Matt Hughes said that he'd move up to fight Silva if the both won their bouts.

Also, I was surprised Kongo lost.

Is it me or did franklin look scared when he was coming into the ring? And ya his nose was re-arranged by silva's knee, i didnt expect him to go down this easily.
The sherk vs florian fight was pretty good, sherk is almost like a lighter version of matt hughes.

Franklin had no idea how to defend against the Thai clinch. That's what made him lose, IMO...

Heck, he should've taken his own advice and started the match on one knee, eh? haha

Ok I just watched and wow, Silva tore him up. Those knees to the body and the face were lethal, I'm surprised Franklin lasted that long. This middleweight champion will be here for a long long time.

I'm not sure why people doubted Silva's ability to destroy Franklin, UFC is amateur hour compared to other fight organizations like Pride. I hope UFC keeps bringing in fighters like Silva, they really need to do something to energize their stable, I'm getting sick of seeing the same fights over and over.

I made money on the Silva fight but lost some of it back on the Sherk fight. I thought florian had a good chance in that one and he was a dog, but ah well. :) I def. underestimated Sherk.

Silva didn't come from Pride, he came from Cage Rage in England. Plus Silva has lost to fighters with losing records in the past.

Silva's fought a half dozen times in Pride, he's the guy that lost to Ryo Chonan's flying heel hook.

And secondly I'm not saying Silva is good at all, I'm saying the UFC fighters on average aren't as good as fighters in some of the other organizations. In Pride Silva was mediocre at best.

I'd love to see Matt step up to fight Silva irregardless if he wins or loses to GSP. I think it'd be a great fight that could go either way.
