can you break it down into what happened too (not just who won)
or is there a video of it somewhere? (link?)

thanks.
I like Machida...but did he really talk trash?
(I will have to ask a seperate question I think!)
I have been really impressed by his fighting style..
 
Machida totally outclassed Silva in every aspect of MMA! He KO'd him right at the end of the round just as the buzzer sounded!
 
He totally controlled Silva by using his octagon movement and counter fighting style. He circled and threw strong counter punches.
Silva looked like he just couldn't find his range or land anything. He was very frustrated and swinging at air the whole time.
Machida landed two hard shots that dropped Silva to the ground where Machida would kick him in the thighs and then let him back up and drop him again.
Finally Machida landed a hard punch and Silva went down again - when the dragon jumped down on Silva and caught him hard in the chin just mere seconds before the bell rang - Silva was out cold - and it was declared a KO.
Dominant performance by Machida.
 
Machida slowly stalked his victim around the ring avoiding numerous take-down attempts from his worthy opponent. Then, in the second round, Machida went completely bonkers and pulled out a loaded 45 and forced his shocked opponent to tap at gunpoint.
 
He beat Silva up pretty good and KO'd him. mmatko.com will have it soon I am sure.
 
Thiago came out throwing lame strikes, just laying his hands out there, Lyoto back pedal a little Silva chased a little kicks by Lyoto, some hard strikes by Lyoto, take by Lyoto Silva threw some foot strikes, Lyoto jumps on top, stand up, 3 minute mark
Lyoto is throwing some hard strikes and very few kicks, BAM KO Lyoto KO's Silva 1st round 2:46

(Personally I thought Thiago did not come to fight, 2 sleeves of new tattoo's and not mentaly in the fight, probably was encouraged to take a dive)
