Everybody wants to see this fight. Only if we enter the ring and I blow on him and he goes down. Outside of that, nothing cooler could happen.

And it would be Vitor to land the first punch of the fight. Catching Silva in the face a maybe knocking out some of the cobwebs. As Silva then goes for a head kick that missed, Vitor shoots in for a takedown that had the champion on the ground for just a few seconds. And it all of a sudden felt like the fight had now only just begun. As both men attempted some more strikes, with nothing of significance landing.

They separated out with Silva stepping back and throwing up his left leg in a piston-like motion. Landing it flush on the chin or Vitor as he dropped to the canvas. The champion quickly followed up, landing a couple more punches. Before the referee had seen enough, stopping the fight and declaring Anderson Silva still the UFC middleweight champion of the world.
