UFC Rankings (exiting UFC 134)

The fact is... Anderson Silva destroyed Okomi. And that's the end of that. and who really stands in the way of Anderson Silva? No one. He's beaten them all. If there's a rematch to be had it's with Dan Henderson or Chael Sonnen, both beaten by Silva. Otherwise it's the Superfight that everyone wants. George St. Pierre vs Anderson Silva.

IN other news. UFC Rio was all Brazilian fighters. They whooped ass. Biggest surprise was Noguria KO'ing Shaub. But in a way, I wasn't surprised it was by Knock out. Shaub was knocked out by Nelson.

Shogun Rua beat up Griffin. I saw this one coming too. Rua has evolved and healed. Griffin really hasn't. I think Griffin has peaked. He's not going to get any better. Yes, there I said it. I like Griffin, he's an interesting character. But he's not gonna be a champ anymore.
