The UFC put up a really good card in a matter of five to six weeks as Anderson Silva who is considered the best fighter on the planet pound for pound proved it once again by defeating James Irvin in just over a minute with a well placed flurry of punches. With the win Silva comes out the bout injury - free which I guess will probably land him a fight on UFC 88 in Atlanta, Ga. on September 6. And with the injury now to Yushin Okami as reported earlier yesterday could probably be facing new number 1 contender Patrick Cote. Nonetheless; Silva puts up yet again another highlight reel on his dominance of the UFC.
