    At one point during the first round I felt they were told to go out taunt each other, dance around feel it out for the fans or more so I was thinking Silva wanted to be in there longer than the first to get a feel of the octagon again. Then I thought o.k. the obligation is over now they're going to fight, this is the round Silva lights it up and finishes Nick. Never happened though.

    Well then his corner is enabling him. I would of told him after round 2, OK you got everyone's attention and you achieved the entertainment aspect, it's time to fight and become a legend, your time in the spotlight is now, fight him!!

    It hurts the sport when the UFC does such a good job at promoting and hyping the match, they actually have the media coverage and scope to get people interesting. Then 1 minute in the first Diaz has his hands down and is lying down, it's the main event vs. G.O.T on a card the night before the Superbowl...is that not a good enough stage to fight? It's not pro wrestling, a fighter like Silva is not going to encourage such behaviour, he has too much honor.

    First fight I've actually thrown down for, usually find it for free at a bar..nothing amazing but glad I caught it.

    Wasn't vintage Silva but considering his age and recent injuries I thought he looked good..Diaz had me cracking up, who else pulls that kind of s---..he always keeps things entertaining.

    Ya thats been known for a while, pretty sure he said he would take Anderson after Nick didnt show up to the open workouts.

    The fact is,
    1 minute into the first and Diaz has his hands down, lying down, and taunting because Silva was doing jack s---. Stop ignoring the fact that Nick basically walked down Silva for a lot of the fight.

    Diaz got his a--- handed to him. End of story. He got picked apart, he had nothing for Silva. He can taunt him all he wants, he can call him a b---- and s---, but Diaz lost, 50 - 45, and he cries every time he loses by being out pointed. When you have 2 counter punchers fight, you can't expect a brawl. Any person who thinks Diaz won that fight is delusion, his corner is the worse, cause Nate is dumber than Nick is. They're the biggest yes men ever, they (Gilbert) may be a good fighter, but they couldn't believe that Nick was winning that fight.
