Im a fan of Anderson, but I'm glad to see his reign over. He lost his passion for fighting a long time ago and Id rather see hungry fighters like Wiedman take over the division. Let Anderson fight Roy Jones Jr and the likes of Hendo, Wanderlei, Cung Le or Shogun for superfights. Anderson having the belt was a detriment for the UFC.

I see what this is about; gonna go in the studio and make some tracks with usher.
Roy Jones hinted the same thing right before he went into the right for Tarver 2.
Muhammad Ali taunts people all the time, that's why he is the GOAT.

I'm glad silva lost. That was crazy though. Didn't look like he got caught. He was still dodging when the "last" punch came in. Not saying it was thrown but even my girlfriend who has never seen a fight ever thought it was strange.
not like this.

Looking at the vine video... finally someone stepped in when Silva was doing his head weaving thing, and you can see for a split second Anderson had dipped back a bit too far avoiding the first punch, he was in a sense stuck in that position, and Wiedman had perfectly stepped in leading with a well targeted punch.
This wasn't staged, it was someone stepping into Silva's weaving-defense-thing he does while catching him at the exact moment he couldn't really get out of the way. Typically Silva can roll a punch and not take the full force of it, but his neck was cranked back as fast as it could go already.
This was legit. Kind of lucky but it happened.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck. No chin can take that punch. That's a lights out for any fighter. Sloshes your brain real nice against your skull.
Good observation friend. Now that the Spider has officially "lost". Where does he rank on the all time list? Before or After the great Last Emperor Freddy Lenko?
Who knows at this point? It seems Anderson just wants to go for the big money superfights now, but how many of those are there? 2?
I still feel like there's going to be an instant rematch when things cool down a bit. It would now be a huge fight, since Weidman will now be a name, and Anderson lost this one so devastatingly. They can easily build hype around a rematch.
Edit: he's definitely not getting fired though

nah if you watch the slowmo replay he got clocked. it was strange-looking because he had his hands down like nothing was gonna hit him haha.
followed by two big shots on the ground

Anderson clowned directly into that punch because he was faking being hurt. Totally disrespectful to the sport. Should be an auto point deduction for acting like that.
Yup.

Roy Jones put Toney's ass on the mat for clowning arounf in much the same way

Yeah the first one got him too I guess. I guess I was hoping he could take more of a punch. I've never been knocked out so I can't say much.
except he wasn't rocked, he was pushed off balance...punch didn't even land all that clean.
and roy is my favorite fighter of all time

I think that once the dust settles Dana and Joe will convince Canderson to take the rematch. Maybe in brazil.
Poor Ursher.
I thought that was Anderson's son trying not to cry, lol

Man I can't believe all the people on my Facebook feed crying that Silva threw the fight. Lets say this was all a plan and he wanted to throw the fight, wouldn't he do so in the best way possible? Maybe something that won't tarnish his legacy? Why would he opt to throw the fight by getting clocked while acting like a complete dickhead?
Now when people think of Silva, they'll still remember what a dominant fighter he was. But that will now be after they stop laughing at how he bitched out at the end and was beat in the most humiliating way possible. This is, of course, assuming he was being honest about not fighting for belts anymore.
Either way, watching him prance around like that and get knocked out was worth $60 all by itself.

Anderson was out. When he came to he tired to grapple the ref. It was a legit stop.

LOL People calling it WWE ... they do not know Anderson is very disrespectful. He usually beats his opponents mentally by taunting and embarrassing them.
Chris Wiedman just didn't get psyched by him.
Anderson disrespects his opponents, just watch Anderson vs Damian Mia... the spellings are not correct.

Lol no, that first shot he lands on Silva on the ground was legit
That too...this is as dumb as Pacman giving a 4th fight to Marquez.
Why risk it with all that money waiting in a super fight?!
He gets in there realizes he can take Weidman and stuff his takedowns then just clowns to get KOed.

You probably shouldn't look at one poor camera angle and jump to a huge conclusion. Dude was out on his feet and then Weidman added a couple more huge hits to him on the ground.

LOL.
Anderson's big-ticket corporate sponsors (his banner looked like a "Who's Who" Fortune 500 logo list tonight) pay him way more than Uncle Dana. I doubt they enjoyed watching him look like a disrespectful moron while he got his ticket punched for being a cocky jackass.
If Silva was going to take a dive, he wouldn't do it like that. He'd make himself look like a brave warrior, not like a self-punking fool.
