Forrest Griffin Dismantled and dislocated jaw to show for it. IMO this puts Silva back on top as best fighter in the world. What a clinic

If you wanted to know so badly, you should have hauled your ass out to a sports bar.

wow, just watched the fight.
Silva made a total joke out of griffin! No wonder griffin ran out of the place after the fight. I hope they keep Silva for a bit at 205 and see how much damage he can inflict there. He is definitely at the top of his game.
This will really hurt griffin's career i think. He cant get a title shot cuz he got beat by a lower class....and no point in droppin weight to 185 as silva owns that place..

Always a big fan of forrest and didn't like the taunting that he got from anderson but I was really surprised he made it look so easy. Hearing that his jaw may actually have been dislocated.

wow just saw the highlights
Silva is a technical monster.
probably the most embarrassing knockout I've ever seen, feel bad for forest.
is Silva best P4P? I dunno, I think I'd give that to GSP but we'll have to just wait and see

Anderson could probably school most guys at LHW...just as GSP would probably beat most MW (though I think Silva would be too much for him at this point).
I think Henderson still has the best shot at beating Silva at 185. Rd 1 of their first fight was textbook on how to beat him...clinch, takedown, and great wrestling. good luck doing that for 5 rounds though, lol. Maybe Filho too, if he returns to his Pride form.
how about BJ Penn too. even his haters have to admit he's head and shoulders above the entire division. there's really no one in the UFC who can match his skill set at 155. Diego is next in line for a reality check!

Not a huge fan of BJ's, but he really put on a show last night. Florian had no answer for anything other than to try and press him into the cage. The 2 champs in the last two fights showed how to finnish matches in their own way, on an otherwise lackluster main event card
