Tito Ortiz vs Forrest Griffin - Dana White's thought:
UFC President Dana White was critical when addressing the fight. "Both Tito and Forrest looked old tonight. Anybody who thought that those guys looked good tonight is out of their f***ing mind. They both looked old. Tito barely beat Forrest the first time. Forrest barely beat Tito the second time. And Forrest barely beat Tito tonight."
"All three of those fights looked the same except this was the slowest
and sloppiest of the three that they've had. And my point in saying that
isn't to beat up on Forrest and Tito. That's what you see when a guy
starts to get closer—and they're younger than Anderson, you know what
I'm saying?"
Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen - Anderson after the fight:
“Let’s show Brazil has manners,” said Silva. “I want everyone to applaud for Chael.
If you’d like to have a barbecue over my house, I’d love to have you.”
“They
gave me the opportunity,” said a gracious Sonnen. “Nobody owes me
anything. He’s a true champion, man. He got me with a good shot.”
“This sport is the best sport,” said Silva. “Me and Chael worked hard for all the people here. This is a sport, this is UFC.”
Why Junior Dos Santos lost at UFC 155
Written by Kevin Early
For all of you who tuned into UFC 155, you saw a good card including a fight of the year candidate, Lauzon vs Miller. What you also saw was Junior Dos Santos get dominated like never before. While most people probably came away impressed with Velasquezs' performance, I, on the other hand, was not blown away but was disappointed with how Dos Santos fought.
