I am not taking anything away from Silva, after all he is the champ for a reason. He has great skills and was able to find an opening which gave him the opportunity to take control when his opponent was rocked. That's what champs do.

To me, this fight showed two great fighters and why they are champions. It did not show me Hendo can't hang with Silva.
