Well, they both showed eachother way to much respect but once shit got going Arona straight up over powered Silva and gave him an old fashion beat down. Silva showed absolutely no sign of turning the tide had there been another round. In my opinion when they rematch for the MW title Arona will beat him again. Silvas only chance is to get catch Arona with a punch (which is very possible since Arona fights with his chin up and out). But it's pretty clear Arona is the bigger stronger fighter who's better on the ground.
The Fedor vs Crocop fight went about as expected with two surprises: CroCops ground defense was incredibe. I've never seen anyone neutralize Fedors GnP like that. And secondly Fedor is even better on his feet then I realized. I was also very surprised Crocop gassed so quickly.
Shogun = the future.
