Evans Tops Silva in Main Event at UFC 108


(The Full Results are Below)
Rashad Evans rebounded from his loss to Light-heavyweight top dog Lyoto Machida with a unanimous decision win against the tough Thiago Silva in the main event of UFC 108.  Rashad probably didn't win over many new fans with his performance as he went back to his bread and butter and wrestled his way to a decision win. Evans was able to score repeatedly with take downs not allowing Thiago to mount much significant offense. Silva was able to win the show-boating contest as he tried to goad Rashad into slugging it out with him and it almost paid dividends in the final stanza. In the latter part of round three Silva landed a hard punch that wobbled the former champ, but he was able to clinch and gather his wits to get the UD win.
