anderson silva is a penis. dana white was PISSED - he tweeted that he didn't even want to hand the belt to him.

the score for the silva-maia fight: 50-45, 50-45 and 49-46 all for silva

munoz and grove got fight of the night and rightly so...great come from behind win.

Silva's actions (or lack thereof) are going to play a role in casual watchers not going back to MMA.

Problem is that Spider KNOWS that he's (one of) Dana's meal tickets... the punishment can't be that bad.

What White SHOULD do is say VERY publicly to AS: Pull that crap one more time, and I'll be cold and dead before you ever get a chance to fight GSP.

Silva's not the best pound-for-pound fighter anyway... especially after pulling that garbage a second time in about a year. Fighters fight and dancers dance, and that was a whole lot more dance than fight. Call ABC and see if they need an injury replacement for that horrid dancing show of theirs.

Casual MMA won't buy those crappy UFC ppv, they'll just watch the free fights that strikeforce puts out, like tomorrow's.
