Nobody except cousin Heel and I who called this shit before Weidman had even fought Demian Maia and Mark Munoz.

What exactly did Fedor "do"? And don't even mention Pride otherwise we have to bring Ken Shamrock's WWF career into the discussion.

To be fair, Silva isn't an idiot. He can do this whole "no rematch" stuff to bully White and the Ferttita's into paying him 1Mil+ for the rematch.
Vitor can only fight in Brazil and as such.. Dana is willing to do it for the gate alone. The desire for Brazilian vengence might actually pack a futbol stadium and Dana smells that cash. BUT.. if he can "convince" Silva to take the rematch... he'll do that instead for the worldwide PPV numbers.

That first hit once he hit the ground hit hard.

You called Silva being popped on the chin while doing a dance routine in the middle of the ring?

I watched this in a bar and so many Affliction shirted bros leapt to their feet to "I told you so" their boys.... The MMA crowd is maybe the last crowd I'd like to be affiliated with, next to the wrestling crowd that is.

Fedor's loss to Werdum was the last time I remember

The top 10 MW's must be going nuts right now, they can get title shots again now that Silva is out of the picture (for now)
Yushin Okami must be ecstatic
Or Rashad is going to drop down to 185 so fast for a title shot

Who did Anderson Silver ever really beat?
The Michael Jordan of BJJ Travis Lutter
Christopher Leben
Predator Cote
Sandman Irvin
Steve the American Psycho Bonnar
Thales Leites
K1 Damian Maia
170# Nate the Great
This certainly pales in comparison to a resume that features UFC Champions like Andrei Arlovski, Big Nog, Mark the Hammer Coleman, Tim The Maine-iac Sylvia, etc...

Fedor threw that fight too. Makes sense that Sherdog reacted the same then as they did tonight, since both involve a fighter throwing the fight.

You realize it would still be a crime, because the fight you fixed took place in Nevada, right?

Ohh man.
Im not sure if i should cry or laugh.
For me this was an insult to the championship....i dont know how Chris can come off this and be "super" proud, yes he caught silva, but he caught silva being a complete fool.
Ehh whatever, im just curious what the next 10 Silva fights will be......and this might be mean, but i actually dont really care what the next Chris wiedman fight is.
Champion or not, Silva being Silva is always an entertaining fight.

I don't believe in a million yrs that Anderson threw the fight but I do believe he's happy to take the immense pressure off of his shoulders

Link to source that states placing bets outside of Nevada for a fight you threw = life in prison?
Legitimately interested.

Not going to deny Silva's one of the best, but he proved he's not the best tonight.
People are just in denial and they know it but are playing along with it.

i think chris even knows he can't beat silva if he just so happened to want to be serious for a moment, perhaps 5 minutes of seriousness

I sense sarcasm. I mean, I hope I do.
Sorry, but the UFC Heavyweight division during Fedor's run was complete shit and Pride is where the real competition was. Fedor should have jumped ship to the UFC when Pride went under, but he still had the most dominant fucking MMA run of all time.

Yep. Jones, GSP, Aldo- they'll all lose their belts eventually. It's inevitable.
But none of them will be able to make as weird of a spectacle out of it as Anderson just did. He's the strangest, most baffling character in MMA. From the awfulness he made us sit through in the Maia and Lietes fights, to the superhuman shit he showed us against Griffin and Okami, to the heart and will he showed us in the first Chael fight, Anderson Silva has been the most awesome, unbelievable, horrible, frustrating, wacky champion in the sport's history.
Yeah I think he's gonna try to play this one cool.
I don't think anybody is happier than Vitor Belfort. But I would be surprised if Weidman's next fight isn't against Silva again. A finish isn't typically grounds for an instant rematch, but there are clearly some extenuating circumstances here (Silva's incredibly lengthy reign, the particularities of his contract, getting caught while showboating rather than being truly out-fought, the potential interest around a rematch, etc).

When Weidman went for the heel hook I legit had Chonan flashbacks

What is the holdup on the conference?
Usually the feed is up and we are at least seeing the setup by now.

Anyone can say words... let's see Heel's predictions from now back until the beginning of time.

What is Silva "actually fighting" though? He's been showboating for years and riding his intimidation.
Exactly. People in this thread are saying "if Silva wanted to throw the fight he wouldn't have done it like this"
Then they go on to say "if Silva actually tried tonight he would have won"
...okay, sounds to me like this is exactly how he would have wanted to lose if he threw the fight

I still think hes the best, his post fight speech and the silliness make it seem like a "more" serious anderson could have done much much much much much better.
As some have said it does make it a bit more interesting, especially if Silva really isnt going for the belt again.
Maybe we can get another Silva-esc champ, someone who just works the competition?
"wishful thinking"
Kenny on point.
