Another Anderson Silva fight and everyone is excited to watch if he will do something spectacular this time compared with his 2 previous fights. I can say UFC 117 is a fun event to watch from start to the main event. From the Roy Nelson and Junior Dos Santos, Matt Hughes and Ricardo Almeda, Alves and Fitch and of course the Main event Silva vs Sonnen. Sonnen is I can say is the trash talkers of all trash talkers but after the fight I can say he can back it up. I thought there would be a new UFC Middleweight Champion after almost dominating all 5 rounds but Anderson Silva caught him with the Triangle Choke making him tap. Everyone is looking forward for the rematch between Silva and Sonnen. I've never seen Anderson Silva getting beaten and dominate only in this fight.
