Had a conversation with a friend today about the Silva fight...he presented an interesting point of view....I haven't seen it out there, so if I missed it let me know.....but.....
The odds on Maia going the distance with Silva must have been fairly long. Is it possible that Silva laid off a bunch of money on winning by decision? He's not betting against himself and it sure looked like he had zero interest in finish Maia.....
I'm normally not a conspiracy theorist (except for Brock Lesnar, aliens, JFK, etc.), but I think the argument is valid. Silva is smarter than spitting in the face of Dana White, especially after the Leitas fight. Silva may have overestimated Maia's abilities and had no idea he'd have to be so pathetic to go the distance. It would also explain one more reason Dana White was so pissed...maybe he suspected it as well....

Anything's possible, but this is very unlikely. This theory might have more traction if this performance was completely out of left field. Anderson has already had similar behaviors in the past and was criticized heavily for the Leites fight. I'm not going to attempt to play armchair psychologist and say what's in his head, but he's a strange individual to say the least. I would also think that if this were profit-driven he would not have been so over-the-top and outlandish in how he dealt with Maia. Behavior like that is bound to draw attention, which is the last thing you want if you're scheming to win big on the betting lines.

Starting to love this thread more and more although it is becoming more about something else than the UFC 112 event 
I have to agree with sixdemonbag that boxing is not really comparable with mma because there are many ways to defeat an opponent and the fact that in boxing mostly all is about the champion and not the other fights. I also hope MMA will not be like boxing because of the different promotional organisations. Yes that is also happening in MMA but I hope they will not take it as far as boxing where the management of the fighter mostly determines the opponent and not the organisation (hence often boxing champions stayed champion by picking opponents they knew could not beat their champion)
I would not pay anything for a pay-per-view when I can get it for free the day after but I would pay for a subscription to a tv channel that would broadcast MMA events, just like I do with football. Unfortunately I can't unless I might buy a satellite dish.
When I look at the UFC 112 event I liked the prelims more than the main and co-main bout. Sure names still are eye catchers and people are looking forward to see title fights and probably would buy an event faster when there are title fights on the card but often there are no title fights on the card and still people buy it, because they want to see good fights.
Next thing we will read is that some champions will train at Area 51
