I remember there was so much tension in this fight. Neither fighter wanted to risk attacking with big combinations and then Anderson just shut Vitor out with one strike followed up by some strikes on the ground and that was it. Masterful.
There was alot of tension, but watching it live, it felt like Anderson was doing his calculation stuff like usual while Vitor was getting impatient wanting to knock Silva out. Then when Vitor paused at what he thought was a safe distance he got front kicked and history was made.
I'd love to see this fight again, but Silva made the fight so epic that he could only do worse now. There is no topping a front kick KO.
