In other words, Chael Sonnen hit Anderson Silva 81 more times than Chris Leben, Rich Franklin, Travis Lutter, Nate Marquardt, Rich Franklin (again), Dan Henderson, James Irvin, Patrick Cote, Thales Leites, Forrest Griffin and Demain Maia combined. And lost. Utterly mind-boggling.

Props to Sonnen.

I’m a fan for life now.

It would be my honor to be your new stepfather.

Fedor, BJ, and Machida all lost. Brock and Anderson were each a hair-width from losing – and some would argue that they didn’t win as much as their opponents lost it. It goes to show, no one is unbeatable. They are too many possible variants for anyone fighter to be unstoppable.

I wonder how GSP-Kos will play out. With recent trend, he at least should be in trouble.

I was gonna make a video of Anderson Silva called "The Untouchable"

set to the theme of “The Untouchables” showing people missing with shots on him. I got about 1/2 through and got bored so I never finished it.

Kinda glad now.

Called it before the fight:
Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems? We won't find out the answer to that until someone takes him out of the first round.
