forrest griffith got embarassed. that wasnt even a hard shot he took but he laid down like he had just got punched by brock lesnar or something.
not that silva wasnt good...but that was just pathetic.
BJ Penn however...looked really good against KenFlo.

Forrest Griffin didn't "dive," he was hurt earlier by Silva's punches, and you could tell since he was wobbly. But man, Anderson Silva shut everyone up.
I want to see Anderson Silva vs Rampage, or rather Lyoto Machida.
Or best of all...
Anderson Silva vs Georges St Pierre at 185! Dan Henderson wanted a title shot on Anderson, but after he just rocked Griffin I doubt anyone in the Middleweight division can take the Spiderman.
I don't know man....Pride had some great fights, but I've seen a couple where I thought the loser was dead.
I love a good fight, but I don't want anybody getting brain damage or such. I know it's hypocritical.
I'm still trying to figure out what happened to Griffin after the fight when he RAN out of the arena, broken jaw? colossal embarrassment? running from bookies?
don't be fooled, that was a hard punch. Look at how it rattled his head. The most dangerous punch is one you don't see coming/expect. Forest ran head first into it as silva planted himself.
For forest to throw his hands up like that, something was seriously wrong, hes a tough dude. Perhaps a broken cheek or orbital bone.
Penn on the other hand fought very well, paced himself so his conditioning wouldn't be a factor and while he looked better on the feet he looked amazing on the ground. I didn't think he would dominate that much once it went to the mat, but he sure did.
+1x10^999999999999999999999999I wish Pride was still around.
i think people seem to forget that silva is a bjj blackbelt. Forest might have been able to out wrestle him, but...how long before silva tore off a limb for his efforts? I'll agree silva is dasadvantaged on the ground with long limbs, they're easy for the opponent to get alot of leverage on a joint...but there are few with the same caliber ground game, and right now, i'd say no one in his weight class (anywhere in the word) could out strike him.I think Griffin's gameplan was horrible. Griffin is known as one of the biggest light heavyweights in the world, but absolutely NOT a knockout hitter. If he wanted to use his size advantage against Silva he would have had to take him down and make Silva work hard to defend himself with Griffins weight on him or press him against the cage, not allow separation and do the same thing there all the while controlling him and picking his shots. I don't think anyone really believed Griffin would KO Silva, his main shot to win was via decision or if Silva made a huge mistake submission. I'm all for tough, but you have to fight in a way that gives you the best chance to win and he didn't do that. Penn on the other handfought very well, paced himself so his conditioning wouldn't be a factor and while he looked better on the feet he looked amazing on the ground. I didn't think he would dominate that much once it went to the mat, but he sure did. I really believe he needs to stick to the lightweight division. He's a great fighter, but the size disadvantage he has at welterweight is too much to overcome. At lightweight he is a beast. I can't wait to see Penn versus Sanchez.
