Anderson Silva continued his run of dominance with a second-round technical knockout of Yushin Okami at UFC 134. With another middleweight challenger disposed of, Silva is running out of legitimate competition within his weight division.
In a rematch of a fight that he lost in September 2007, Mauricio Rua overwhelmed Forrest Griffin for a first-round knockout. With most of the light heavyweight division’s top contenders locked into fights already, there aren’t a lot of options for Rua’s next potential step toward reclaiming his belt.
After missing more than a year due to injury, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira showed that he still has something left in the tank by stopping Brendan Schaub in the first round. With 40 fights under his belt, Nogueira has already mixed it up with most of the elite heavyweights in the world.
Who is next for these Brazilian legends and the rest of the competitors on the UFC 134 main card? Let’s take a look.
