What some people don't realize too about fighting is that in truth at just the right angle and upon hitting just the right spot (a million to one) your average ten year old girl could probably knock out a 250 pound MMA fighter. No one is invincible. No one.

That is why it always makes me laugh when you watch fight scenes in movies. A guy gets hit 10 times to the face and is still standing when in reality, most people get hit once, maybe twice with a clean shot to the face they are going down hard.
Silva is a great fighter. He has incredible ability. I think he grossly underestimated his opponent and it cost him.
It will be interesting to see how he does in his next fight. I have a feeling the clowning and showboating will be gone.
