I expected Silva to beat Griffin, but I never thought Griffin could of looked as bad as he did. It would be interesting to see if Silva will fight a few more fights at light heavyweight and work his way up to Machida. I don't think they would fight each other because they are training partners, but that would be a very interesting matchup!

Maximum style points on the Silva knockout. It doesn't seem fair to keep matching the guy up against mere mortals.

The toying with the opponent was rather reminiscent of Roy Jones Jr who just happened to be in the audience. I wouldn't mind seeing the boxing match that's reportedly in the works between the two but I'd be a sad panda to see Silva leave MMA.

In case you missed the fight, this is pretty much how it went.
