I knew Rodrigo would win. Schaub is slow as molasses.

Yep. Definitely going to be questioned now after he gets dropped by Nog who has 2 or 3 TKO wins in his career.

I think this is like Tito. He had something to prove plus it was a homecoming

Do we get that Nog/Mir rematch now?

Maybe after Brock destroys Mir. Again.

Maybe Nog does have a few left in him. Everyone was counting him out but his 2 recent losses are to Mir and Cain who is top dog at heavyweight now.

Also that's the 3rd time I've seen Erick Silva's KO tonight.

I love the KO then the backflip. The interview I can skip though.
They are giving him exposure, because he has a ton of potential. Him vs Rory Mcdonald sounds good

Thank goodness Big Nog wins in Brazil in spectacular fashion.

Whew. It's only right. I kinda want him to hang it up now, going out on a win like this.

If it was reversed they would have gone crazier

They won't match up 2 prospects like that. Also Silva needs a few solid wins before he's at McDonald's level.

I know, it would be fireworks though.
Give him a fight against Brennamen-Johnson loser

I have a feeling the hometown boy is going down in this one.

I don't. We will see his ground game I think though.
Good first round. Pearson is a tough SOB

Good 1st round....

Re: UFC in Rio: August 27th - Silva vs. Okami and Rua vs. Griffin 2

3rd round could decide the fight

Re: UFC in Rio: August 27th - Silva vs. Okami and Rua vs. Griffin 2

Barbousa has too much speed for Pearson. 2 rounds for him so far.
