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.

I guess the prevailing attitude is that you have to soundly beat the champ to take the belt. It was a close fight and Silvia gets a free point just for having the belt.

this is true...if a fight is even close to being a tie they always give it to the current champ...the challenger has to really take the fight to the champ to get a decision...and arlovski did not do that.
