I feel like Dana is having to stop himself from comparing what happened to Silva to what happened to Fedor. Especially with the
MMA GAF
creeps and weirdos mention.

buddy thinks this fight proves Anderson was overrated all this time, that he never beat anyone of note, that he was never as great as everyone thought.

the guy finally gets caught after clowning his last 5 or 6 opponents and winning in spectacular fashion, so he's overrated. fuck me I don't understand some people.

Except Fedor lost 3 times in a row? Anderson got caught once, and he is getting up in age. No offense to the new champ, but it seemed like a fluke.
 
Im tired of this talk about Silva.

Weidman won the fight, Silva never did anything to threaten him. He had nothing for Weidman so he went for mind games, it was not working whatsoever and Weidman executed perfectly, knocking the GOAT out.

Give props where props is due. The naysayers ate crow, put the can crush images away folks, ain't none of that tonight.

Could have at least tried.

Dana's Vitor comments were gold.
Anyway, Heel saw the shit for what it was and called it. Testify.
Evilore got word from his secret network that the fix was in
joking
and is stayed out of the shitstorm he saw on the horizon.
Good shit all and all (except that main event, though watching Dana lie through his teeth about not being pissed is almost making up for it)
 
He said that creeps and weirdos were trying to discredit Silva and say that he was never that great.

Dana is 100% correct. Silva has a remarkable legacy, despite the dumbass way he fought this fight.

Silva and Fedor are nothing alike. Silva's record is legit as hell. The last part of Fedor's PRIDE FC career (from Zuluzinho on) and most of his disgraceful M-1 Global period (until he hit legit competition in Strikeforce) were not.

Dana should do as much as he can not to compare the two.

There's no need to go all hyperbole and put yourself in joke poster territory.
 
I could see this loss coming for Anderson. Weidman is faster, stronger, younger and a better wrestler and wanted it a lot more than silva did in fact he needed it in the worst way possible. I just thought Anderson would find a way to pull off the win like he always does. It was weird watching Anderson lose though despite his antics he always found a way to win and finish the fight. It seems like father time finally caught up with him.

You don't seem to know what fluke means.

Keeping your hands down in a fight, sticking your chin out against a guy with power, this is the stuff that makes getting knocked the fuck out likely.

I won't go as far as to say it's a fluke Andy's gotten this far without getting caught but he's an idiot.

An amazing, wildly talented idiot who I utterly respect as a fighter, but still an idiot.

Go to sleep.
 
I'd say the difference between him clowning before and tonight is his opponent was almost identical in size (reach and height).

That ducking and weaving was within reach of Weidman. Maia couldn't reach him, Sonnen couldn't reach him, but could take him down.

Weidman could reach and take him down. Silva is a great fighter, an asshole and disrespectful one, but a great fighter.

Defend a four+ year record that is padded with guys like Zuluzinho, a Mark Coleman on drugs-errr-in need of surgeries, a catchweight-fest with Matt Lindland, Hongman Choi, a fat, disgraced Tim Sylvia, and "Instant KO button" Andrei Arlovski, all while avoiding UFC competition.

Please. I want to hear how that compares to ANY four+ year period of Anderson Silva's career post October 14, 2006. Show me the four+ year period in which Silva padded his championship record with freakshows, catchweight contests, and has-beens, and CHOSE to work for a second-tier org.

Weidman's corner man was telling him to hit Silva in the chest any time he started his shit. So they obviously trained a lot for that shit. The way Weidman stepped into Silva makes me think he knew exactly where Silva was going.
