    As someone new to the UFC, Silva managed to showcase something that got me into it in the first half of his fight & then blow it by running in the second half.

    The Velazquez/Nogueira & GSP/Hardy cards did much better in at least giving me a fight or two to make me a fan.

    I've never been impressed by Silva's attitude in the ring. He never shows anyone respect. Not sure why anyone expected an exciting fight out of him, I think he is leagues above so many others in skill, and knows it.

    ... maybe ... a little Floyd Mayweather syndrome? Why lock horns when you can basically fight someone who is stuck in quick sand? I dunno, just sucks when fighters like this reign for so long.
    "Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

    - and I quote from some random guy on the internet

    If that's all you have seen of Silva don't be overly critical. He is simply spectacular when on his best form.

    He seems to thrive when a guy comes for him and gives him a fight, but he simply won't go looking for anybody and waits for them to come to him.

    Against Forrest Griffin he looked like a prime Roy Jones in MMA he was that good, but last night he stunk, just as he did the fight before Griffin.

    He seems to be like Wlad one day and Gamboa the next.

    The only good fight on the card was Grove against Munoz, which is a real shame as the UFC cards are nearly always excellent and great value.

    A bit unrelated but UFC 111 was outstanding IMO. I was really impressed with that Carwin fella. A real brute!

    Dana threatened to put Silva on the premlims (un televised) and the MMA board may not let him fight in Vages due to him being reluctant to fight and show his skills!
