okay, so edgar won that fight by decision. i don't know what the judges were watching, im going to check fightmetric as soon as they do stats on the match, but from what i saw penn dominated by a slight but clear margin. kinda upset about that.
the silva-maia fight went as i expected. anderson did a lot of showboating, which really surprised me, but whatever. they did a lot of circling. i mean, there was more waling around in that fight than any other title fight i've seen in five years. but, i don't blame them. both fighters are good in all aspects, and that's fighting at the highest level. they don't gamble on wild swings or take high-risk chances. they just take the opportunities that come, and use them as best as they can. neither of them were really making mistakes, and while anderson had a clear advantage there was no opening to finish the fight. it really speaks volumes of maia that even anderson couldn't stop him. also, i think anderson gassed in the third round, maybe he had a little trouble cutting weight.
