The living legend took a legitimate beating tonight from Bigfoot Silva, who in all honesty I had pegged to be brutalized by "The Last Emperor" tonight. However, he showed great tenacity by never backing down from Fedor, trading with him while standing and biding his time, staying very calm on the feet. He finally got the position he wanted in the second round, and used his ground and pound to gain his well deserved victory.
Fedor has had a Tyson-like aura about him since he began to gain recognition in the world of MMA, and it was well deserved. He had never truly lost until Werdum used his fantastic Jiu-Jitsu to tap him, and though he'd been rocked in the past in the Pride days, he overcame adversity wherever it presented itself. There simply comes a time where one era ends, and another begins. The reign of "The Last Emperor" may have come to an end, for good, tonight.
Either way, this fight was a great night for the sport of MMA: Great action, tremendous heart, exciting brawling with disregard for technique, as well as technique with disregard for excitement while both men looked for the submission. Silva deserves his props, and Fedor deserves his respect should this be the last time we see him in the cage/ring, etc.
