Okay guys so as we all know UFC 117 delivered very well!!!! The fans were pleased,Dana White was pleased and the whole fight world was pleased!!

Here are the results!

Main Card:

Anderson Silva def Chael Sonnen via submission

Jon Fitch def Thiago Alves via Unanimous Decision

Clay Guida def Rafael Dos Anjos via Submission

Matt hughes def. Ricardo Almeida via Submission

Junior dos Santos def Roy Nelson via Unanimous Decision

Undercard:

Rick Story def Dustin Hazelett via Second Round TKO

Phil Davis def Rodney Wallace via Unanimous Decision

Johnny Hendricks def Charlie Brenneman via Second Round TKO

Tim Boetsh def Todd Brown via Unanimous Decision

Stefan Struve def Christian Morecraft  via Second Round TKO

Dennis Hallman def Ben Saunders via Unanimous Decision

Hughes  proved once again he’s the “Gracie Killer” and submitted Almeida in an Arm Triangle and tapped out quick,when have you seen that happen?! Never!

I give props to Roy Nelson,he fought his heart out and JDS proved he can’t be knocked out.Major props to both of them!! I have respect for Nelson now.

Clay guida vs. Dos Anjos..I love how Guida always hypes his fights up by always jumping around with a smile and i love his sweet curly hair! I feel bad for Dos Anjos because Guida broke his jaw (or did he?)

Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves..since Alves didn’t make weight (again) it was a decent fight.Fitch won fair and square.

And the talk of the night!

Anderson Silva vs. chael Sonnen-First of all Sonnen did back his smack talking up by taking Silva to the floor and pounding him out for 24 minutes. Those who say he didn’t can jump off a cliff because he did exactly what he said but got caught in a Triangle Choke the last minute and claims he “didn’t tap” but in my opinion i thought it was a tap,not a perfect one but a sloppy one.

What did you guys think of 117? and who’s next for Ando? Vitor Belfort or a rematch against Sonnen?
