the idea that some people are calling this fixed is hilarious, its no stranger a KO than say when Silva got Griffin with a hard jab, or when Nick Diaz knocked out scott smith in similar fashion, it’s only even being considered by some people because it was Silva who was on the receiving end of it for the first time. th thing I find most bewildering about it all is that, all these people saying ‘Silva is the King, fix, bring back the king’, do they understand that if this was fixed then he had to be in on it…? Loved Munoz Performance though I’m a big Boetsch fan, looks fired up and only has maybe a few years, now could be a great time to charge for the title, I’d love to see him vs Rockhold.

If it was fixed then Silva was in on it mate, how does that make him a king?

I am in shock at that Knockout, Silva pretended to be out on his feet and leant back before Weidman hit him with a hard left hand! and then hit his head so hard into the canvas, with a follow up punch, that Silva grabbed Herb Dean’s leg! amazing, Weidman is incredible! He thanks god multiple times, and tells Rogan about the game plan that he executed to perfection!

no gloves touched! Here we go, Weidman looks to close the range and gets the early take down! He lands a stiff right hand from the top and some short elbows now as well, he isnt landing clean punches but he is landing nonetheless, Weidman lands another big strike from above, He drops down and gets hold of a leg but its not deep and Silva is back on his feet, Silva is stood by the fence again as against Bonnar! he throws a knee and laughs at Weidmans attempts to punch him! Silva throws speculative shots and lands a few leg kicks Silva is instructing Weidman what to do, Mental games are bizarre from Silva! what a showman! round ends

30-29 29-27 29-28 Edgar takes the decision. great fight from him, Oliviera is a class act though and we should expect big things from him.

ROUND 3
Edgar pushing the pace again, he lands a solid punch combination that time, Oliviera tries to pull guard again but Edgar again wants no part of it, Edgar has stung him a few times but its Oliviera who lands a nice flurry to the body of Edgar, this is a great fight with both men exchanging big shots, Oliviera telegraphs a spinning kick, Edgar connects with two big right hands, another one, he is hurting his man with these hands, he lands a flying knee! the fight goes to the ground again with Edgar landing shots from the top, he stands up and comes back with a big right hand, the time is up and that looked to be Edgar’s round by some distance.

ROUND 2
Edgar comes out quickly again, using his footwork to set up some nice left hands to the body, Oliviera looks to utilise his long legs and lands a quick lg kick that made a huge smacking sound, a big right hand lands for Edgar and Oliviera looks to stay down as he tries to pull Edgar into his ground game again, Edgar looks disinterested and lands a few leg kicks before allowing him to his feet, almost straight away though Edgar puts his man on his back and lands some good shots from the top, back to the feet now and Edgar lands a good left hook, Oliviera certainly the more Muay thai based attack, he continues to throw that rangy front kick to the body of Edgar, this is turning into a very fast paced scrap, Edgar lands a big takedown but its straight into a guillotine choke, lukcily for Edgar only a few seconds remain and the round ends, Edgars round.

ROUND 1
Fast start as expected, Edgar lands a solid right hand that backs Oliviera up, it goes to the ground and Edgar survives a brief Knee bar attempt,The Brazilian pulls guard and looks to land some short, sharp elbows from the bottom, he attempts an arm bar, very fast! but Edgar sneaks out of it, Oliviera showing great dexterity with some awkward kicks, he looks to be the stronger fighter, certainly larger, Edgar lands a flush uppercut and Oliveria tries to take it to the ground once more, both fighters exchange jabs, The Brazilian pulls guard again as the first round finishes. close round, maybe won by Edgar
