Silva tried to embarrass Maia and he did that in the first two rounds, but by the end of the fight he did nothing but embarrass himself. He said in the post fight interview that Maia disrespected him in his pre-fight comments but the only thing I could see in his pre-fight comments are that he could submit Silva if it went to the ground.
I gained a lot of respect for Maia, he brought it even though he was completely outclassed in the standup (unlike Leites) and I had him winning rounds 4 and 5 on the feet. Silva needs to retire or switch weight classes. He said he wants to move up to HW, I say fine and if Dana White is as mad as he seems at Silva, I say his next fight should be versus Cain to teach Silva a bit of humility.
Also, god damn Edgar was awesome and Munoz and Dos Anjos put on great fights.
