Another UFC is in the books now and we were treated to the debacle known as an Anderson Silva title fight. What was suppose to be a classic Top level striking vs. Top level grappler match up turned out to be a slap in the face for MMA. The UFC’s first card held in Abu Dhabi was rounding out to be a card to remember with Matt Hughes chopping down another Gracie in Renzo and The Lightweight Division crowning a new Champ in Frankie Edgar. Unfortunately all that is being talked about and what most will remember first is the Middleweight champs act once again.
