Looked in better shape than the Pat Barry fight. Not as much flab around the guts.

Yeah I just watched the fight last night, Brown is a beast is just kept going at such a high rate, was only a matter of time before he finish Silva, but man Silva took some big shots and still kept going.......for a while anyways....

Silva took a beating but you've got to give it up to Brown, he's a fucking animal, just keeps coming forward. Silva looks really good when he can pick his range and throw 1-2 strikes than back away, lunge in with 1-2 more than back away were he coulnd't really do that with brown because he was constantly pressuring him. l'd like to see Brown fight Rory but as l've said that im not sure if Rory has a match booked and it might even be a step down for Brown rankings wise? Brown vs Condit still appeals but the same scenario... Wait and see l guess.

Yeah Brown v Condit would be a great fight me thinks, both can stand, both a reasonable on the ground and both can just go and go and go...

Brown is like the Velasquez of the 170 division; he doesn't have one-punch knock up power, but his volume and intensity overwhelms his opponents.
To be fair to Silva, he's been up against some stiff competition for a relatively young guy. No doubt with some more experience under his belt, he would have followed up with body shots and won the fight.

Some of browns 'take downs' against Silva looked pretty brutal... Looked like Tim Boestch against. . . Who was that guy he rag dolled in the fence and basically knocked him out? They way Brown was just throwing him to the ground looked like a school yard bully picking on the smallest kid in class, granted SIlva was rocked but l still loved them.
Looks like Rory is fight Tyron Woodley for a title shot at 174 so the Condit fight makes sense but it's hard to say how long condit is out for... Hell give Brown a fight with Tarec Saffedine in the mean time he's a strikeforce ww champ so they can lump that onto browns resume if he wins and it should be a great fight.
@SteveP - It's kind of like what they've done with Charles Do Bronx Oliveria (spelling?). Threw him in there against some top guys and was punished badly for it. He looks like a world beater against most gate keepers than gets flogged against top guys... What do you do with a guy like that?

I think you do exactly what they have done, throw him against some top guys, if he wins he keeps climbing the ladder if he doesn't he cops a flogging and hopefully goes back, learns and grows from the experience to better himself for his next crack, but you cant keep putting him against top guys if he is always losing, does no good for his self confidence, health etc to let him get flogged all the time, but at the same time can let him just fight fringe fighters and get easy wins...

fuck Comier just rag dolled Hendo for 3 rounds making him look like a sexond class wrestler and everything, and the main event WOW, TJ was extremely impressive, never picked that just never......

I feel like I was the only person giving him a chance. I didn't think he would win, but I thought it would be competitive as his striking had looked awesome in his last few fights.
I think Hendo needs to drop to 185 again to continue his career. He was probably planning that has he came in at 199lb and didn't put much weight back on for the fight.

While Hendo has put together some decent fights lately I just don't know if he should continue on, does he have anything to prove at 43yo? Will he be a force and get another title shot again? On his last performance I would say NO, however, if he had of won, then maybe continue on...

l was pretty disappointing with Njkouani (spelling?) l always enjoyed watching him fight and thought of him as a exciting stand up fighter who would find his stand up to be more effective if he worked on his ground game / scrambles / TDD a little more. The better your ground game is the more effective your striking can be l think (think about the shields vs sexyama fight, no way shields beats akiyama in a muay thai fight but he out struck him because akiyama was gun shy and kept thinking he's going to get shot / pulled guard on) l think he'll get cut after the loss to Pichell who really won't do anything more than be a 50/50 fighter in the ufc before he gets cut without making it to a main card.
Tony Ferguson is a monster at LW. l don't quite know if he's as 'powerful' as Joe was making him out to be but he cracked his opponent pretty good for a flash KO. Some of the asian guys from Ring of Combat, ONE FC, Deep etc just don't quite cut it when it comes to being in the UFC. It's too much of a step up and the time difference and everything has to get to you. l'd like to see Ferguson get a step up in his next fight, possibly against.... J-Lau, Cerrone, Cruickshank (spelling?) Something like that anyway. The cruickshank fight would be more for the excitement than anything though.
Cheisa does what he always does and that's grapple fuck people. He coulnd't get the sub over the stocky brazillian guy but he's back in the W column. l doubt he'll go on to be a top 10 guy but he's a top 10-15 gate keeper l think.
Robbie Lawler had a great fight against Ellenberger who once again failed to really pull the trigger but Joe's commentating in this fight was so fucking biased even for him. Robbie would hit a jab and Jake would hit a 1-2-3 and he'd call "Robbie with a stiff jab!"... Lawler vs Condit maybe?? Since woodley and Rory are fighting. No idea, l'm assuming he'd want a quick turn around though so hopefully he gets it.
Cormier rag dolled Henderson essentially which l think quite a lot of people thought would happen. Cormier was bigger, stronger and faster than the aging non TRT Hendo. Hendo's sticking hasn't been quite up to par his last few fights l didn't think (l know he got the ko over shogun but he was getting cracked quite a bit and they were having a bigger impact than they usually do on him). He's tough as shit but l dont want to see him fall into the Chuck category before Dana makes him pull the pin...l think l would have liked to see Cormier vs Gus to fight jones but that would leaves jones on the outside for too long plus the UFC would miss out on a big re match than the Cormeir title fight.

Yeah I am thinking Lawlor, since returning to the UFC he has been a beast and seems to keep on improving, has a great chin and hits hard...
