I just don't see how Maia can possibly beat anderson...he doesn't have the control to get silva to the ground and even if he did...i'm not fully convinced that maia has a better ground game then silva. Secondly, he has no chance in stand up, i know he's tried to work boxing but i just don't see a scenario where he even gets silva to the ground..where his only 'advantage' is. If he clinches or shoots he will probably wake up to joe rogan shouting in his face about what happened.

I think BJ definitely has it over frank, who just isn't ready for the title shot yet in my opinion. I think he needs more experience and some more varied fights. I think hughes has got renzo, unless the gracie's have finally realized that they need more then a fantastic jiu-jitsu game then they're going to continue to get dominated fight after fight. I see it going down some what like hughes last fight with royce, I think he finishes it by ground and pound in the first round.
 

I'm highly surprised at how terrible this card is considering it's their first event in dubai...i see a lot of mismatches or bad picks, some of the prelim fights have some intense guys though, so for the UFC's sake I hope they put on a great show and maybe get some extra attention.

Personally, I thought the fight was a draw.  Neither fighter did much of anything to really justify being declared the winner.  However, of the two fighters, I thought Edgar did just a little bit more then Penn did so I wasnt totally shocked that Edgar walked away the champ.

I mean, I can see why the judges awarded frankie the win. BJ did fight frankie's fight and not his and frankie was the more aggressive grappler of the two but again, it all goes back to which part of the game is more valuable. It always seems like the judges pick one aspect of the game that will be most valuable to them in each fight, some fights a couple takedowns is worth more then dominating striking and threatening submissions, other days a good flurry or one good punch seems to be worth more then overall control and dominance through out the round. Sometimes it's about who pushes the tempo and who's defending and countering and who's attacking. It seems to randomly go off in one of these directions.

Frank got more takedowns and I would say landed a few more power hits, but bj escaped or shucked all of those takedowns and consistently landed punches even if they weren't big hits. So it is a tough call and I wouldn't exaclty call this bj getting 'robbed'.

they've thrown plenty of people who can actually fight at this guy, he may act ridiculous but no one can deny he is light years ahead of most of the fighters around right now. They should've just given the fight to Maia when anderson started hiding behind the ref, that should be an instant DQ, and point should have been flying away for all that running he was doing.

chael sonnen is a good match, he might be able to get silva to the ground a land some good shots. I just hope he doesn't get submitted before he can get into a rhythm.
