Remarks:
One of the most highly anticipated fights in UFC history and it didn't disappoint. I'm not sure how Silva got so dominated in the first but he certainly came through in the second. A whole bunch of decisions besides that though that weren't exciting fights so not a great event from that perspective. It looked like most of the fighters had jet lag and just didn't want to be embarrassed.
