Silva is a great fighter, but as long as he keeps getting into brawls against better brawlers, he will keep losing.

Though awesome as ****, Matt Brown going for that armbar saved Silva. A man's gotta know what he's good at and more important what he isn't :)

On the other hand, in a world of fighters holding position not to lose nothing can be more beautiful than Matt Brown sacrificing dominant position to finish with an armbar. He's bringing tears to my eyes ;)
