UFC 117 Results - Anderson Silva Retains Title

[key2win]

Chael Sonnen made a name for himself and dominated Anderson Silva for five rounds until he got caught in a triangle choke and submitted. Looks like Silva's UFC job is safe for now. Jon Fitch won his match to become #1 contender for the Welterweight Title. Junior dos Santos won his match to become the #1 contender for the Heavyweight Title.

i disagree,i think the fight of the night was Roy Nelson and Santos,i mean it was pretty obvious who was gonna win in a spilt. but that was one hell of a fight.

i enjoyed the card last night. and i was at a local bar and i gave anyone in there 5:1 odds on Silva. got some takers....i was scared there for a minute but knew he would do something at the end. They dont call him the "Spider" for nothing.

Its funny how he comes out to Wierd Al's song "Im Fat." LOL!

Nelson is a good fighter who people dont take serious because of his physique.
