UFC 61 Bitter Rivals Tonight on PPV

Herb Dean Blows!! McCarthy should have had both big mathces. Ken took 3 elbows and he stopped the fight! What the Fuck? Ken is a 15 year veteran, sure he was on his way to an asswhooping, but I think Ken deserves more respect... its not like he was a newcomer.

Arlovski vs Silvia was 3-2 Arlovski, but the judges saw something else. The bottom line is that Arlovski stopped chopping the leg after the first round. He was tearing Silvia's leg up and he completely abandoned it. I have no idea why. He should have chopped the leg for 3 rounds and then start shooting for takedowns in round 4-5. His gameplan sucked.

Excellent assessment of the fights ass_face.

Tito executed his game plan perfectly and then got lucky by the ref stopping the fight way to early. Ken came out aggressive but after the slam just kinda laid there and didn't work for a sweep to escape.

Arlovski never should have stopped attacking the lead leg of Sylvia. He was always the aggressor in the fight and Sylvia was content to counterpunch the whole fight. I never thought this would go the distance. I don't agree with the scoring either but Sylvia didn't do enough to earn the victory IMO. He looked lean as hell and came in lighter than I have ever seen him fight. He proved to everyone that his chin is not suspect but he didn't execute and intelligent gameplan and lost a slim desicion.

Burkman looked good, Monson should give Sylvia a run for his money, and Mir looked like a shadow of his former self.
