Main Bouts (PPV):
Anderson Silva TKO’s Chael Sonnen to retain his Middleweight Championship at 1:55, of round 2. It seemed like a repeat of the 1st fight early on as Chael immediately hit the takedown on the “Spider” employing the G&P for the entire round. Granted, he landed perhaps two hard elbows on Anderson but Silva didn’t even try to use his Jiu-Jitsu instead just holding on to Chael and hoping for a stand up. Strange, but in the 2nd things came around to reality once again. Anderson drops his hands obviously feeling quite comfortable, and begins to land on Sonnen while shaking off a takedown. Silva grabbed Chael’s shorts as he tried to evade the attacking “Spider” and the referee warned him for the blatant rule infraction. We continued on as Chael tried and failed to throw a spinning elbow as his own momentum landed him on his own ass. Silva plants a solid knee into the chest of Sonnen who is now absorbing punches. Chael gets to his feet but Anderson’s fists land dropping him to the mat once more. Silva unloads the barrage and Sonnen turtles up queing the referee to stop the fight. Big mouth Chael comes up waaay short after all the trash talk and bravado revealing the fraud his is that we all knew would show up.
* Anderson Silva is gracious in victory inviting Chael to a barbecue in Brazil. The “G.O.A.T.” solidifies his status as the greatest UFC Champion of all time yet again. Bring on Hector Lombard or Michael Bisping. Nobody else deserves the shot.
Forrest Griffin defeats Tito Ortiz by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) to complete their trilogy of bouts. This was like watching two retirement home veterans fighting over the last cup of tapioca pudding. Tito came out and gave his 1 round of effort before he was gassed as advertised. The just brutally and constantly regressing Griffin flailed about landing the jab some but also getting knocked down twice by Tito though he came back from one to win the 2nd round. The striking was amateur, the grappling slow and predictable and the only surprising element was when the fight ended and Forrest ran out of the cage (for 3rd time in his career) and had to be cursed back in by an enraged Dana White. The decision was read and correct but then Forrest continues his drunken fool routine taking the microphone from Joe Rogan and awkwardly interviewing Ortiz as he retired. Weird and uncomfortable.
* So that happend. Tito is finally gone and Forrest is in hot water for turning into a lost child yet again after a bout. Forrest seems disinterested in fighting now and I am no longer interested in watching him flame out his once bright career. Finally, why did Tito enter the arena with a extra large gladiator mask on?
Cung Le defeats Patrick Cote by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) for his 1st UFC win at age 40! So, Cote looked slow and perhaps out of shape as he rarely pulled the trigger on his slopping boxing while Le gave all he had being more conservative with his kicks and following a game plan to defeat the Canadian.
* Cote just looked stuck in concrete. Once again we see Pat freeze in the moment. Cung will probably have one last fight but congratulations to Le on the biggest win of his career.
Demian Maia defeats Dong Hyun Kim by TKO via injury at 0:41, of round 1. The two men clinched up with Maia trying to take the “Donger’s” back, and they both fell into the cage with Kim’s head hitting the bottom of the cage while Maia’s body smashed his ribs in the one motion. Demian stopped the attack as his opponent was obviously hurt and the bout ends via injury. It turns out that Kim was suffering from a muscle spasm and the fall only exacerbated the situation. Maybe these guys can rematch and actually fight in the future.
Chad Mendes TKO’s Cody McKenzie a mere 31 seconds into their bout. Yup. “Money” took the fight to Cody landing a body shot that seemed to make McKenzie shit out his soul as Mendes pounded him out in short fashion. (T)KO Of The Night
* Chad Mendes might hook up with Dennis Siver in the future and Cody will be working on crab boats very soon.
Mike Easton defeats Ivan Menjivar by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 29-28, 30-27). The men looked equal after the 1st round but then Easton kept on the pressure and got a solid if not impressive victory.

Prelims (FX):
Khabib Nurmagomedov Upsets Gleison Tibau by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) in a controversial affair. Not so sure the judges got this right but not giving Tibau a single round is a crime. Khabib threw wildly but he did not land punches. Tibau was unimpressive but he did land punches and hold off takedown attempts. Whatever, it helps the undefeated kid and Gleison isn’t going anywhere anyway.
Melvin Guillard bested Fabricio Camoes by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). This was boring. Mel out boxed Camoes. Shocking.
Costa Philippou defeated Riki Fukuda by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28). Costa was in control until an arrant finger put Philippou in pain on the mat. The fight was almost stopped but Costa continued on, now angry, to finish the fight in style.
Shane Roller bests John Alessio by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). John almost threw a fit because Roller kept taking him down and laying on him. You’d think professional fighters would be ready for the most used game plan in MMA.

Rafaello Oliveira defeated Yoislandy Izquierdo by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). Saw part of it. Wasn’t impressed.

Nobody earns a Submission win tonight or a Fight of the Night nod. 6-5 on the picks which sucks like Tito’s girlfriend.
