The first fight card in Philly just got a big boost. A double main event with BJ Penn vs. Kenny Florian for the lightweight title, and now this bout at 205. It may not last long, but Anderson won't be able to lollygag, or not give anything less than 100%, at least not if he expects to win.
 
Someone has to get in Silva's face...that last fight was a joke because Leites wasn't engaging him. When he did, he got his *** kicked, but for Forrest to win, he needs to show no fear and shouldn't give Silva time to think.

That being said, my money's on Anderson Silva winning this one.
 
this card is shaping up to be amazing, i think Silva will win but it goes to the 3rd round, Forrest will not be afraid to take some blows and will def engage Silva, might need to go to Philly for this one
 
wow weakest knockout ever, man anderson looked awesome out there i love watching him fight. i like griffin a lot but man, he kept his chin open all fight... hopefully he can bounce back if not, bye bye griffin embarrasing.

I hate Griffin, if I was Dana I would bump him to the undercard for that brutal performance.

i dont hate him, i don't think he was ever that really talented, but i cannot wait for a silva vs machida fight, thats going to be a great one if it ever happens.

bj penn retained his belt, good on him, feel bad for kenny, hoping he win.

BJ is way too tough for K Flo (as much as I like K Flo).

Machida should worry about Shogun. Shogun could surprise.

I won't discredit Machida, no doubt. I just think Shogun is way better than he has shown in the UFC to date. Back in Japan there were people saying Shogun could be the best LHW of all time. Considering his record (3 losses), and who he has beat (Rampage, Liddel, Strikeforce HW Champ Overeem x2) he definitely has more experience over better fighters than Machida. I am just saying Machida shouldn't overlook him, IMO he is Machida's toughest fight to date.
 
Griffin looked like crap. I know I am going to get it but that fight sucked, to me it looked like Forrest took a dive. The Spider looked amazing with his ducking and weaving.

Bonuses have been announced at that was fight of the night, I do not think so.

BJ was dominate and K Flo tried but Penn was just to much for him.

I didn't get to see the show because I was running one in OK, but it sounded like it wasn't worth buying. Too bad about Forrest, because I like the guy, and I think we all saw BJ winning that one. Diego will have a much better chance against BJ than KenFlo did.

The last fall was very peculiar based simply on the way the punch was thrown and the way Forrest fell, however, you've got to remember that he'd been hit hard a couple times already, and he was already reeling from those shots. It could very easily have been seen as a dive, but Forrest would never take one...like the guy or not.

Anderson's also got a lot of power behind those punches no matter where they come from. It's not the greatest example, but keep in mind that Shane Carwin knocked out Gabriel Gonzaga with a similar punch at UFC 96...it looked like a jab, but it wasn't quite, evidenced by the way he fell to the mat.
