What do I have to be butthurt about? You were the one insinuating that Silva doesn't go down to someone just sticking his arm out and got hit by a hulk-like smash.

Silva's cocky, got clipped in the wrong spot, went down. The End. There was no domination from Weidman, like some are suggesting. It was a shallow win for Weidman, brought on by Silva's cockiness. You can sit there and say it's some gameplan by Silva, and maybe it is, but you can't tell me that when he's training for a fight he's being coached to have his arms down and let the other guy hit him and to put yourself against the cage and let the other guy get position.
