Yeah, I know what you mean about the Ortiz fight. I seriously think he took the 2nd round completely off...he only tried a couple shoots and for the most part just apparently rested or some stuff. Third round, he started to do what he did in the first, but I dunno, it was like he was holding back. It definitely wasn't (2nd/3rd rounds) the ground and pound Ortiz that I'm used to seeing...he used to just destroy people when he got them down. I don't know if his knee was bothering him or whatnot...possibly torn acl/mcl would do that though...I do have to give Forrest props for surviving and going the distance. It's been awhile since I've seen someone get dominated like that for a full round and come back to make a match out of it.
Yeah, Silvia got a lucky ass punch, but it looked like he was waiting for it. Arlovski did a dumbass thing by thinking Silvia was still sort of out of it and he could land that punch again...problem is throwing an overhand right like that leaves you REALLY open to an uppercut with how your body is positioned...especially if you miss. IMO, he should've sat back and gone back to his gameplan. If he'd have done that, I think he would've dominated Silvia.
