Anderson Silva is amazing
Last night, a few of us gathered to watch the latest UFC PPV offering. The main event was a fight between the middleweight (185 lb.) champion, Anderson "Spider" Silva, and the former champion, Rich "Ace" Franklin. Silva won the title from Franklin about a year ago in a fight that ended in the first round with Silva demolishing Franklin. Franklin, who had previously looked unstoppable, spent a long time regrouping (and having his nose reconstructed), then won a couple of fights on his way to earning this rematch. Every MMA fan I know felt Silva would win, but we all hoped Franklin would make it a real contest.
He did--for all of a few minutes.
Then, Silva took over. He nearly won the fight in the first round, and he destroyed Franklin early in the second.
After the fight, Silva bowed to his opponent, treated him with great respect, and only praised him (via a translator). Silva is a class act, an amazing fighter, and pound for pound possibly the best in the MMA world. If you're at all into MMA and get a chance to catch this fight on replay, don't miss it.

you can put vaseline on that as much as you want to, that is a HOLE IN YOUR HEAD.
To be fair, that comment wasn't about the Silva/Franklin fight, though it was Joe Rogan's best line of the night.
