Being trained in BJJ under the Nogueara brothers who wouldnt be scared of Andersons ground game. Plus you had Rich coming off of surgery. And the first 4 months he couldnt do anything. Long story short. +140 Anderson Silva = Great bet.
To me the real fight of the night was Sean Sherk vs Kenny Florian. Who thought that was going to go five rounds. Hats off to Kenflo.
Upset of the night was Cheick Kongo. He needs to learn some ground game badly. He has what it takes to beat the HW division as long as he doesnt go up against a wrestler. Until then he wont ever see the belt.

I want to see David Lou vs Rich Frank II. David was having personal problems with his manager and didn't look like himself in their first fight.
The guy that Kongo fought wa just laying and praying. I hate when some wrestlers enter MMA and just lay on their opponent. But, I agree Kongo needs to work on his ground game
