Interesting notes:

-Fitch outlanded Alves 70-39.
-Fitch was successful on 9 of 12 takedown attempts.

Nobody would have predicted that.
Course, most of them were pitty-pat from dominant position.

If we applied the Big Country rule
Josh Rosenthal would have stopped the fight and we’d have a new champion. Credit to Josh for seeing it through to its conclusion. He’s the unsung hero of this fight.

Towards the end of the fight, yes, but dude, for the first three rounds, he was bombing Silva. Pitty pat my sweet white ass.
From all reports she (Cyborg) pretty much only spars men, and has been known to put some out during training. - Rudinho479

Nelson's chin is legendary
JDS was bombing the crap out of him.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
Sleepy time for drunkie
But that was fucking incredible. And people said 185 had no challengers. Scoff, I say.
A rematch interests me greatly.

this is accurate I think. one take down for the first 3 rounds. He wasn’t taken down on the 4th and fifth…
4th round, silva stuffed the takedown, and he pulled Chael down in his guard, I think this was also the round where Silva got reversed after he rocked sonnen and decided to stay in his guard instead of standing up… and on the 5th, Silva slipped, and Chael got on top.
