A football team is unlikely to come back and win when down four touchdowns in the notice of two minutes.Ditto a basketball team down 40 points, or a baseball team 12 runs downwards. But in MMA, judges score cards can be made questionable with a single triangle choke.


Silva has demonstrated not only the magnitude of MMA, but the nature of a sample.Has withstood a Sonnen Yoshiyuki beating for 4 1/2 laps, but was still able to come back and win., quite simply, has discovered a way to win. That is a quality found in larger samples, independently of sport.


No. 2 star--Sonnen Hague: of course, the man who delivered the beating for most of the main event deserves glory as well. Sonnen used wrestling and the Earth and the pound to inexorably pummel Silva. Sonnen fact Silva human aspect, a feat that few other combatants were able to accomplish.


No. 3 star--Stefan Struve: on a map jam-packed, was difficult to choose the final Star, but Struve showed his mettle with a second round KO of Christians Morecraft.Struve was battered and beaten by the first round.With a lip altered and a bloody face, Struve is back to deliver two strikes punish subscribe Morecraft.


Honorable--Wrestling: Yes, the world's oldest and largest sport has played a leading role to 117 UFC.Matt Hughes used a technique old school wrestling to beat Ricardo Almeida. Jon Fitch used wrestling to take back Thiago Alves. Phil Davis, Clay Guide and even Sonnen wrestling used to get the job done--almost done in the case of Sonnen.


Dishonorable Mention--Thiago Alves: first, he blew the weight. then he was dominated by Jon Fitch a unanimous decision loss. Alves looked slow and tired, managing only a few suits of offense near the end of the second and third round.
