Reem proved nothing against Mir other than his cardio has improved and he was terrified of trying to get anything other than a decision win. And to get a decision win and then call out a guy who isnt even in the UFC was laughable. Faber v Barao was a bit of an early stoppage IMO, i think Faber couldve weathered that one well enough, but it wasnt looking good for him either way really. The other fights were all boring as strawberry float. Even Dana said 169 was "a catastrophe".

They really need to try to get fighters from Asia. I reckon THE best fighters in the world wouldn't want to fight for money, since martial arts and often linked to spiritual rather than material gains but, should be a few dangerous Thai fighters or the like over there. UFC is way too Brazilian/Americas centric.

UFC light heavyweight and Blackzilian team member Thiago Silva was arrested Thursday evening after an incident at the Pablo Popovitch Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Oakland Park, Florida, where Silva allegedly threatened persons inside the school. He later reportedly barricaded himself in his home, but was apprehended, taken into custody and charged by the Broward County Sheriff's department.

Those charges have now been posted online.

After his bond hearing Friday morning, Silva, 31, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and one count of resisting an officer without violence.

He was previously charged with two counts of attempted felony murder, one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and one count of resisting an officer without violence. However, the court did not find probable cause for the attempted felony murder charge.

As of the time of this writing, Silva is still in police custody and is being held without bond.
