    The guy is out right scary ! He is so well rounded he cant be beat in ither weight class . No one can stand and bang with him cause his pin point accuracy and mui thai background and we saw what happens if you go to the matt with him...............................................Dan henderson ! who he was not suppose to wrestle with and did. I like the challenge at 205 lets see THE SPIDER VS THE ICEMAN !

    Nice wrap up of the fights. I agree about the Edgar and Franca fights - pretty boring for the most part. But Anderson Silva made up for it, landing 100% of his shots. The guy is amazing.

    Markham's knockout was pretty sweet too - you hit the nail on the head, very reminiscent of Gonzaga's victory over Cro-Cop.

      I love Edgar...who doesnt love a plumber from New Jersey who dropped tons of bombs on Franca. He even survived a Franca knee Sean Sherk style.

    Great fights all over! Fedor impressed the hell out of me. SIlva impressed me as well. Wasnt expecting him to not even let Irvin get a punch in!

      Yeah, I was impressed by Fedor - but I think I was equally disappointed by Tim Sylvia.

    Silva is a beast, I watched that fight expecting at the least a good fight, Wrong! Silva owned irvin, his power and the fluidity in which he moves, it's amazing. No doubt he is the best lb. for lb. fighter in the world right now. I was amazed at the ease he dispached this guy. The only guy that might go three rounds with the man could be Liddell, even he might be a little too far along in his career to match up with Silva at this point. I would still like to see it though.

    Chuck is about two or three leagues down from Anderson Silva... He would be another notch on the belt for Silva.
  • James Irvin is an embarrassment to all European-American Males. His glass jaw has been exposed.
  • lol markhams kick was right on the money, thats where cockiness will get u....flat on your back.... same with irvin, he was cocky, completely underestimated silva's background of fighting and got knocked OUT!!! i was hoping for a longer fight but that was a sweet KO
