Hell of a fight. 29-28 Rick Story, but momentum was definitely moving in Alves's direction.

@klown I think giosanti was making a prediction... he hadn't seen the 3rd round yet.

29-28 Rick Story...I wonder if Story hurt his back in the fight he looked like he stiffened up a lot in that 3rd round and couldn't strike real well late

Thiago Silva only has himself to blame for losing that fight. I'm no expert, but on more than 4 occasions, Rick Story left himself open for Thiago's best punch, and/or knee strike, and Thiago didn't take advantage of it to put away the fight. He had Story in trouble more than once, and did nothing to capitalize.

Rick Story won, and I give him all the respect in the world, but if he wants the respect of the fans, he'd better quit that lay 'n' pray/wall 'n' stall style of fighting. It did the trick and got him the win, but it didn't get him any respect. The fans showed their appreciation. Did you hear all the boos?
