Silva by TKO via GNP

Prediction: Silva  |  Decision

Everyone knows Hunts game plan. Silva Cardio is soooo much better then Hunts and I believe that will play a big factor in this fight. Silva needs to put pressure on Hunt and put him into the cage, then drag him to the ground.

I always figured he weighed like 280ish in his fights...he's an absolutely massive human being.

It's not so much " strength " of Velasquez as it is he's so much more athletic, coordinated, technical and quick than Bigfoot is. Again, Cain can manhandle Bob Sapp but he's not as physically strong, you want to know who's freakishly strong for his size? Mark ******* Hunt.

that was such a fun fight. lots of respect to both men for this war!

I have to admit a draw is a fitting end to this one. I will have to watch the fight again to score it from a technical stance as this one was to exciting to bother keeping track of a score as it was happening (and who actually thought the score cards were going to come into play here?!?!?)

As epic as this one was I have to say the fight was Silva's for the taking and he dropped the ball a bit. If Bigfoot kept on that low outside leg kick Hunt would have buckled. Hunt was already pushed to the edge of the cliff so to speak with those kicks and bigfoot just didn't push him over, he just stopped those kicks until he was to gassed to put anything behind them.

Jim Ross liked the fight. I'd like to see him do a night of guest commentary with Joe and Goldie.

I turned it off before the decision because I couldn't bear to see any result but a draw. Nice to know the judges finally got one right. 

That said, all cards should have read 50-50.

I was just glad to see that both guys are getting their win bonus.  Well deserved. I can't remember a HW fight that had me standing up in front of the TV since Brock vs Carwin

I'm pretty sure they got a lot more in bonuses than just their win bonus and FOTN bonus.

Although draws are not particularly popular, it would have been a shame to declare either man the loser.  They showed such heart, tenacity and fortitude.  

Such an amazing see-saw battle.  I expected Mark Hunt to be called the winner but am not disappointed.
They should show this fight as often as possible.  Will only create more fans.

Both men's stock and credibility went WAY UP.
