Me too. I was worried that Forrest would flop on top of Silva for the entire fight.
I still think D. Henderson could beat Silva. For whatever reason, Henderson seems ashamed of the fact that he's a world class wrestler. Silva does have a weakness: his take down defense. But, Henderson would have to punish Silva each time he took him down. GSP might have a shot, but Silva's size could make it difficult for GSP.
Very upset with the Griffin/Silva fight. Forrest looked lost and didnt look nothing like an MMA fighter. Glad to see BJ Penn beat Florian though. Made my night.
BTW...I got the official UFC 101 poster. Went to a bar and they had it on display and I took it lol...real nice poster, going to buy a frame for it tomorrow to put it up in my office
Man, Forrest ran out of the cage. I've never seen that before. I was like wtf?? and he looked lost the first time Silva hit him. Silva took it easy on him after that, if he wanted he could have killed Forrest.
Nice job getting that poster though.
For sure man, that fight pissed me off big time. He ran out cause he was embarrassed hard on national tv. Something was wrong with him though cause that didnt look nothing like him but w/e the BJ Penn fight made up for it though. BJ's one of my fav. fighters
Update on Forrest Griffin (who was absent from the post-fight press conference) from the UG:
"I heard his jaw was dislocated very early in the fight…then he took several more punches to the jaw. Apparently he can’t hear out of the ear on that side either. He left the octagon because he needed medical attention asap. At first they thought his jaw was broken, then said it was dislocated."
Oh and, Woot! Glad BJ won, my favorite fighter.
Well, our suspicions were right, Forrest wasn't himself for good reason.

Unfortunate -- bad news, but still good news at the same time. Good news in that Forrest still has his heart he was just injured, good news that he didn't run off cause he was embarrassed but because he needed medical attention.
Only problem with that is, he has stated that he will not fight Lyoto Machida, Machida has also been on record saying this, because the two are good friends.
