A couple of thoughts on the american PPV:
1. Trigg is terrible as an announcer. Period. He isn't getting any better. Nobody cares about what he would do in that situation because nine times out of ten the fighters in the ring are much better than he ever was. All he talks about is himself.
2. I'm surprised that one of judges gave the fight to Nog. He clearly lost that fight by Pride scoring rules, which place a heavy emphasis on effort to finish the fight. Watching him scream in pain from the kneebar was surreal, much like watching Silva get KTFO.
3. Watching Silva get dominated like that was bizarre. He's usually on the other side of the ass-kicking. Regardless of Silva coming in at a heavier weight, he looked like the smaller, weaker fighter. And, of course, he looked blown-up and sluggish. What a massacre.
4. The force was strong with the thumbchuck on this card. This is becoming more of a problem over time. Fighters are subconciously realizing that a failed punch can turn into a devestating open-handed poke in a split-second and letting the fingers go (well, at least that's my theory).
