    I just got done watching the Silva fight. WTF was that? Why wasn't Forrest trying? How did that little love tap knock him out? Why did he look gassed the entire fight? Does he really just fight like that? Where his punches look to be in slow motion?

    I don't know much about UFC but that didn't look like Griffin is a good fighter. Although I have heard plenty different. But Silva?! God damn! He put on a great show! My fav fighter after seeing that.

    Silva has a habit of making guys look bad - don't blame Griffin for it!

    No Griffin didn't throw that fight. You have to realize that Griffin was put on his ass twice before that finishing jab by really well placed and hard shots. The jab was just the straw that broke the camel's back. And as for Griffin looking slow and throwing weak punches, Silva can make a lot of people look like that with his great head movement and his own tremendous speed.

    There is a vid of anderson and big nog sparring boxing, and it is incredible. andersons hands are way down and he just moves out of the way. big nog puts him in the corner.. winds up and throws everything at andersons head and anderson just moves his body.

    Pretty much. Silva is just that good.

    And if any fighter was to throw a fight, and that shit has happened before--would you think Forrest would be up for that? He'd be one of the last fighters to consider that, I reckon.
