This was a great fight of classical wrestler vs. striker. Anderson is so very vulnerable to wrestlers, and Coleman expoilted that a lot here. But in the end, Coleman was also vulnerable to Silva’s standing speed and striking, and that was his down fall here. I don’t feel like either dude is a loser here, and the fans sure weren;t. Two elite guys at their separate crafts putting on shows. Just that one had to win, unfortunately.
