    Apparently the technique is called a "knee destruction". Basically, you use your knee to check the kick. I guess Dana said Anderson's corner said one of checks cracked Anderson's shin and this one clearly broke it.

    That's the fight I willl look forward to seeing. Weidman vs Machida.
    No disrespect to Vitor even though I think Vitor vs Weidman will be a good one as well.

    Machida is fighting Gegard Mousasi next. Whoever wins it is next in line.

    Heavyweight title picture: Browne vs. Werdum? Winner gets Cain, right?

    Possible heavyweight matchups for 2014 - Dos Santos vs. Barnett winner fights Overeem vs. Mir winner or the winner of Hunt vs. Bigfoot rematch

    Also, I heard rumors that Rashad Evans will move down to middleweight after his fight against Daniel Cormier.

    Bas explains how/ why Silva may have snapped his shin -- it's an older video not directly discussing Anderson's leg break.

    Wow, Cruz can't catch a break. Feel bad for the guy.

    UFC has taken a downturn in popularity it seems. Sure doesn't help that they lost 2 of their top 3 fighters in the last two months.

    Silva and GSP gone.

    White should get out while the going is still relatively good.

    Henderson is so smart and strong. In the last round, knowing the Thomson's right hand was hurt, he threw head kicks with his left over and over, not expecting to land them. He just wanted to force Thomson to block them with his hurt hand.
