Overall a great night of fights, best UFC PPV in a long time.

Sonnen didn't tap, the guy tapping looked nothing like him. Possibly Hispanic. | Scottyflamingo

If Sonnen just had better cardio this could have been a KO. He was scoring tons of hits, but they just didn't have the power behind them. | thecubsfan

Sonnen didn't win, which is sad because there was a good fifteen minutes of thinking about what a world with Sonnen as champion would be like, but he did make himself a star. If he gets another win over someone, he should go right back to the front of the line.

|  #6 Posted on 8.8.10 0143.26 | Instant Rating: 5.75 | | All throughout the leadup to this fight, people were talking about how Sonnen creating a pro-wrestling feel with his trash talk. And now, here's a total pro wrestling finish --- the heel dominates but the face pulls out a narrow win in the closing moments. Sets the stage up perfectly for a rematch that will draw even more money. | J. Kyle

Silva, after being dominated in every aspect of the bout and pulling off a miracle claims he fought against doctors orders.
Some champion. Gets destroyed and then cant give the guy credit and blames his performance on a rib injury.
I hate Silva more than I ever hated Mir.

I don't understand why everyone loves Silva. He comes off as very arrogant imo. | StaggerLee

Nelson took that asswhipping and defied all logic by not going down when he was hit like his head was a punching bag. | samoflange

For me, it has something to do with how he is the most amazingly fluid and accurate striker I have ever seen in MMA.
Sonnen did to Silva what Dan Henderson was doing before he forgot what he was doing and lost. I don't know that there is another middleweight in the UFC capable of grinding out rounds against Silva like Sonnen, and I'd love to see a rematch.
I was most impressed by Matt Hughes on this card. I was 50/50 on the fight, but thought that if Hughes won it would be by late TKO or decision. That sub shocked me.
