    I agree with Yatezy here. Maybe Murray is very good with hands but it didn't show in that fight; his punches were extremely telegraphed and when combined with the fact that he didn't throw anything except hooks (did he even throw a single kick?) meant that it wasn't exactly a tough day for Silva. Silva came across as incredibly technical and Murray as a one trick pony who was outclassed. It was an entertaining fight though.

    Interesting variety of kicks from Silva in the third, presumably because he knows Murray's lost his mobility. WTF TKD people would recognise a split kick (around 3.50 I think) and he's constantly using skip turning kicks to Murray's front leg because their opposte stances leave them in an open stance position naturally.

    Wonder if Murray learnt the range for his hands from WTF TKD too?:)

    Enjoyed watching the fight though, interesting stuff.

    You are right about that - Silva screwed up and got in that one punching exchange and got nailed and then he turned on the strategy. His takedowns were well timed and brilliant.
