Well I see it exactly the same way, but then again I'm very bias as Thiago is my boy. I think it will take alot to take Rashad down to be honest, I see this fight remaining on the feet for a while. Rashad has decent hands but is very reluctant at times to let them go. Thiago on the other hand is a fucking beast, and will not stop coming. Should be a great fight. War Silva.Quote:

Rashad for me
dont think i can saty up till 3am for the even tho:(
That's a very tough choice but I would to think that Rashad might be able to tame the beast with some very smart moves in the octogon. Normally it should be within an hour or two or something like that, we should then have the answer soon:)
WTF was Silva doing there??
He had him in trouble and just let him off the hook, he could of finished Rishad then stupid move.
Yeah i watched it too and could not believe that he stood there and was doing the whole macho show boat thing to get rashad to open up and then when he caught rashad and had him on queer st, he stood there and show boated while rashad recovered and then he even stood some more with his hands on his waist while he himself recovered from gassing lol It was disgraceful.Quote:

Silva was seriously gassed after the first round, probably due to the scrambles after getting took down so often. Even after catching Evans in the 3rd he looked spent. He literally had nothing left to finish the job which isnt good enough really. He threw a shot after he had hurt Evans and nearly fell over himself through exhaustion.Quote:

I was impressed with how much Rashad dominated Silva on the ground and everything for the first 2 rounds.
It was a good match and Rashad's takedowns have been too much to handle for Tiago who still did show good defense once on the ground. But Rashad, wow, very good boxing and overall control.
