Anderson Silva wasn’t an instant success as a draw. In the early stages of what’s still the longest championship reign in UFC history, Silva’s middleweight title fights were often paired up as double bills with other big attractions on UFC pay-per-view card. The idea of Silva as a legendary figure didn’t really take hold until his Houdini submission of Chael Sonnen and face-kick knockout of Vitor Belfort.

This week, our first place winner on the insightful side came in response to the common refrain of anti-net-neutrality advocates that it's all about letting the government "take over" the internet. One anonymous commenter racked up the votes by explaining the reality:

• A Flat Earth Society member is planning to build a rocket to see for himself that the world is not round.
• There are easier ways to determine the Earth's shape without leaving the atmosphere.
• The Ancient Greeks would study the shadow patterns of a stick in the ground throughout the day to determine the circumference of the Earth.
• Another piece of evidence is the difference between the night skies in the northern and southern hemispheres.

It has got something to do with the signing of Davies, as someone who wasn't good enough two months ago now becomes our back up half. Thats how the connection between Davies and Hughes comes in.

His signing is a shocker and the only one we've seen since Wardy took over.
