Analysis:
Silva caught an Irvin kick, landed a crushing straight right and finished him on the ground. The best fighter in the world lived up to his billing in his move up to what turned out to be a heavyweight battle. UFC middleweight champion Silva showed the power that has made him a destructive force at middleweight and could make him a factor at light heavyweight. The loss is devastating for Irvin, who did nothing and got squashed by a fighter who had been competing 20 pounds lower. The victory was Silva’s eighth in a row.
