Silva and Griffin dominate at UFC 126

Last night much anticipated fight between Vitor Belfort and Anderson didn’t last long. Silva defeated Belfort by KO (strikes) at 3:25 in round 1. People are still talking about the front kick that Silva landed on Belfort. A lot of Silva’s critic, I being one of them were silenced last night. He’s proven he can beat the best and that he’s the greatest pound for pound fighter in the world. Some of the other fights that took place included:

-Bantamweight bout: Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos
Torres defeated Banuelos by unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, 30–27).

-Welterweight bout: Jake Ellenberger vs. Eduardo Rocha
Ellenberger defeated Rocha by split decision (27–30, 29–28, 29–28).

-Light Heavyweight bout: Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader
Jones defeated Bader by submission (guillotine choke) at 4:20 of round 2.

-Light Heavyweight bout: Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin
Griffin defeated Franklin by unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 29–28).

It was a solid card last night with plenty of good fights to show. Finally it was a UFC card that gave fans it’s money worth. It also helps that the former WEC fighters are starting to be used now. It gives UFC more depth and better match making. Hopefully, the UFC can keep these great cards and matches up. Stay tuned for more on the UFC.
