RIO DE JANEIRO – A great start for Jose Maria turned into a somewhat bizarre finish, as a strong first round gave way to second round collapse and TKO finish at the hands of John Lineker. The bout, a 129-pound catchweight fight after Lineker came in heavy for the bout, took place today at UFC 163 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. It aired as part of the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FX and Facebook. Early on, it seemed that Maria was in total control. A spinning backfist in the first frame caught Lineker flush, and Maria’s follow up attacks kept his opponent on wobbly legs for much of the round

LAS VEGAS – At the Las Vegas airport on Sunday morning, Anderson Silva was a popular topic of conversation. “He got knocked out, finally,” I overheard one ticket agent telling another. “Seriously?” replied the other man. Who could blame him for being a little skeptical, assuming he knew anything at all about Silva’s history of dominance? Here’s where the first was obliged to do a brief reenactment, complete with Silva’s fake wobbly legs, the quick jolt to the jaw that followed, that lolling head of the very recently concussed. I have to admit, it wasn’t a bad impression. Then again, it’s hard to do the fake wobbly legs better than Silva himself, who, let’s be honest, was doing a fantastic imitation of a wounded fighter right before he became an unconscious one
