In terms of talent it's been the most stacked ever since a ton of the lightweights dropped to 145

Silva looks soft, wonder if this will be be norm with the harsher punishments for juicing.

Is Magny just the most coachable technique-absorbing sponge ever, or what? Its almost absurd to see a fighter progress this quickly from how bad he once was.

I wonder if Magny checked Fightfinder to ensure that Silva was coming off a win before accepting the short notice fight.

Magny got about four years of an average UFC fighter's experience in 13 months, that will probably have a measurable impact on a younger fighter's performance.

It's cool how Magny can just continually land these uppercuts while being outside of Silva's range.

Think that has a lot to do with Magny winning rounds 1 and 2. Magny seems to be taking it easy and being cautious.

There are not many fighters in the UFC with a jab as good as Magny's. Its just terrific.

That has got to be a 30-27 UD, even given the possibility of bad judging.

i really really liked how magny paralysed silva on the end of his rapid jabs and when silva darted in blindly magny effortlessly caught him with a knee.

I guess one of the judges is confused by all this "punching" nonsense, and was just counting takedowns.

The reaction from the MMA media is unusually harsh. One example:

Whoever scored that fight 29-28 for Erick Silva needs to explain their scorecard right now
