I genuinely thought by the end of the first round that Weidman was done, he looked scared and bemused IMO, how wrong I was..
Weidman won the first round definatly..

I gave it to Weidman based on the takedown, gnp and sub attempt. Didn't see much from Silva apart from a few nice kicks and lots of showboating.

I gave it to Weidman for sure. He got the takedown, threw blows from on top, and went for a submission. Never had Anderson in trouble but definitely scored more points.

Weidman, no question.
During the bell, we all thought Anderson should have done more in the 2nd half of the round simply for the sake of trying to win the round back on the scorecards.

There is absolutely no question about it. Weidman definitely won the first. If you can't see that you don't know your *** from your elbow when it comes to mma

Weidman. But he as f--- didn't get close to another take down and it only seemed to be a matter of time until he got caught in the web....and then one of the funniest moments in MMA history happened.

he looked to be a bit winded from the moment, seemed to collect himself for the knockout thou, I think if the fight kept going, he would have got more takedowns... Cain Vs JDS 2.... I think he he would have gotten him down again.

Or he could have gassed out completely ..or he could have had a ceiling light fixture crush his family cage side....
We'll never know...but what we do know is he sure as f--- wasn't coming close after the first one...

I don't think it matters too much because of how different the second round looked. Anderson looked like he was about to coast the whole fight, stuffing take downs while *seemingly* embarrassing Weidman. I mean I really thought Weidman was going to freeze up and get TKO'd as the second round went on.
My point is, if the KO didn't happen and we saw the fight go to later rounds, none of those later rounds would have looked like the 1st, imo.
EDIT: Looking back, Weidman would've K-Silva-TFO eventually with the way Silva dropped his hands.

I just watched the fight again (with emotions, excitement and my biased attitude to anyone that fights silva to aside)
He clearly took the second ( Weidman ) he is one dangerous bastard when it hits the ground. Silva is a black belt but Weidman had him covered on the ground completely. It really was a strange fuking fight though

If talking smack and walking forward while talking smack makes people think that wins fights, then why not? hahahaha

Since when are sub attempts worth points in a fight. TD's...yes, sub attempts.....not so much.

I was screaming at the TV when Weidman went for the heel hook. I thought he might have lost the fight there. He needed to stay on top of Silva, not take chances and keep grinding on him... a la Sonnen, without the brain fart.
By the end of the first round, I thought Weidman looked like he adrenaline-dumped. I was afraid he was gassed right out and Silva was going to demolish him. Before the second round started though, he did look like he had recovered his wind/composure a bit.
Silva clowns people and wins the mind games. He almost did that to Weidman. Weidman was reaching with his punches and that is typically when Silva puts your lights out... everything was working the way Silva wanted it to.
Except he got clipped.
I still think Silva is the most dangerous fighter out there. I also think that he is not the most well-rounded and a well-rounded guy, who keeps his composure can give him a fight.
