Silva VS Bonnar
Not really an ideal matchup for MMA fans. I would've rather seen Silva fight somebody relevant. But it doesn't matter, Silva still made it worth the price of admission. Silva put his back against the cage several times and taunted.
He let Bonnar land a few shots just so the fans could think he Bonnar had a chance.
Bonnar was 14-1 underdog. If I told you somebody used the rocky theme as entrance music, you probably would’ve thought it was Bonnar. But it wasn’t.
Not many doubters left at this point, Silva is the GOAT. On Saturday
he proved he can crush a can in a new and exciting fashion.
Some people will still argue that Fedor is the GOAT and I guess I haven't seen enough of his fights to be able to argue against it. but that's partially his own fault for not joining the UFC.
Bonnar gave it his
best with a spinning back kick, but it wasn’t enough. After the fight Bonnar said he was hit in
the solar plexus and temporarily paralyzed. He started to regain movement
shortly after the fight was stopped.He's just lucky he wasn't hit with the 5 point palm exploding heart technique.
Bonnar had never been finished, not even by Jon Jones, so a first round finish was pretty impressive. Bonnar thought so himself.

I would also like to point out that Silva has a 2nd job. When he isn't training, he judges musical ability on the show X-Factor and goes by the name of Antonio Reed.
