Final thoughts

So, I was 2-0 in my predictions. Silva's win may have not been impressive, but it counts, and he has now set a UFC record - 9 straight wins. And congratulations to Shogun, who is slowly starting to build up steam again.

Up next, UFC 98 - Evans vs. Machida. It should definitely be more interesting than what was displayed tonight.
