Re: UFC 162 - Silva v. Weidman - July 6

You guys serious with all of that? I mean like I said, Anderson didn't show up and didn't get a chance to engage, but how can you make such a prediction that Anderson would have won the fight if he stopped clowning? Because he stopped one take down? He was taken down to start the round with ease and held down.

I guess it's anyone's opinion to say if they rematched Anderson would win, but at this point who knows. I would put it at slightly odds for Anderson but it would be close odds in my book.

If the fight was fixed, Anderson would have tapped to the kneebar. That would he wouldn't have gotten ****ing brain damage from getting KO'd.

Know the reason why Silva was so humble in the post match interview?

Maybe it's because he finally realize how idiotic he has been in the ring that he finally got knocked the F out.

Imagine how embarrassing that is for a fighter known in the world to be the best? Getting knocked out while showboating in the ring. Of course he's going to be humble and say Weidman is the best and he is the champion.

Of course he's going to hint at retirement, because something so foolish for a professional to do is laughable.

It's funny how much the crowd booed him. I'm glad there won't be a fight with GSP. I wouldn't want GSP to be in the same ring as this disrespectful fool.

It's called giving the goat (still the goat to me) the benefit of the doubt. He's earned that much.

You can look at it the other way too. There were two takedown attempts. One that Weidman completed and one that Silva stuffed. You could assume that Weidman wouldve gotten subsequent takedowns later in the fight. You could also assume that based on Silva stuffing the takedown in round 2 that Silva wouldve consistently stopped him the rest of the fight,

My prediction starts with the second assumption. It also is supported by how they both looked during the standup. Weidman has back to back KOs now but I'm still not convinced he is an elite level striker and I'm still not sure how his chin is because Anderson refused to engage except for leg kicks. What I know from this fight is 1) Anderson's reflexes are slowing a little and 2) Weidman has KO power.

Weidman looked tentative during the standup before he threw that final combo and was completely playing into Anderson's game imo.

Hmm. Did you think he was disrespectful against Bonner? Against Okami? Against Griffin? Because he did the same thing against them. The only difference is he got knocked out.

Re: UFC 162 - Silva v. Weidman - July 6

In a fight, I don't see many things being disrespectful. Spitting, low blows, hitting after the bell or talking crap after a KO would be the few things that I'd consider disrespectful. Goading your opponent and dropping your hands don't fall under that category in my book. Weidman took care of business and did what he had to do and put an end to Anderson's charade. It is what it is.

Re: UFC 162 - Silva v. Weidman - July 6

He severely underestimated Weidman's striking ability and power. Those guys you mentioned were no threat to Anderson on the feet. He didn't clown around like this against Hendo or Vitor because he knew they were threats. He made a giant mistake and paid for it. The rematch will be huge though whenever it happens.

Re: UFC 162 - Silva v. Weidman - July 6

This was the first real threat that Silva has faced in a few years, maybe since Hendo. We all know Silva is great on his feet, but this knocks him below GSP and Jones to me. Silva has 1 thing and that is striking. If you can take him down, it is over for him. GSP has fought better competition and also won a lot of different ways. Jones looks like he will not be beaten.

Chael and Vitor were real threats. But other than that...

Much respect to weidman for taking the belt no foolery on his part . But after watching the slow mo replay I'm 95% convinced silva threw the fight to retire...he didnt even catch him with a power punch(a clean one if you considered them straight hooks power punches) they just didn't land clean enough IMO to do enough damage to take a championship belt

This wasn't a power punch?

Sheeeeeiiiiii


If someone could get a .gif from that angle that would be awesome. That's the best one to see if you want to see Anderson's face shake around like jello.

I heard people on youtube saying it was a jab.

No it was Anderson who hit his chin on Weidman's glove.

Re: UFC 162 - Silva v. Weidman - July 6

Silva has been fighting lesser opponents for so long. I believe it just became habit for him to taunt his opponents with antics to get them to swing at him so he can counter punch. It definitely worked. Had Anderson decided to punch Weidman during that barrage he could have no problem. Played with the wrong guy and went to sleep. #Murica

Man it seemed like a scene from a movie. When Ray Longo told Chris between rounds to "Go out there and punch a f***ing hole in his chest" and then BOOM! It was beautiful.

On rather or not Anderson Silva was disrepectful or not. Weidman certainly thought so immediately after the KO. https://vine.co/v/h7uVQn30pXq

He clearly says "disrespectful piece of sh*t"

Six years, eight months and 22 days Silva was champion. I think that record is pretty safe.

I hope Silva goes up to LHW, and Machida moves down to MW. Have Silva fight one warm up LHW bout then fight Bones for the LHW title. Break all prior UFC PPV records.
