So round 1 was nothing. Don't worry! Usually, it always is. Hopefully it gets better.

Those antics can destroy a young mind. I actually don't mind it. Can be cringe at times but I don't think he overdoes it.

Now comes the part where Silva tells the ref to stop the fight,like.... just do your job and let the ref do his

i picked and bet Silva, but i'll be happy when this guy gets KO'd in a UFC ring
