Mayweather takes care of business. Silva is a clown and got what was coming to him. Jones woulda murdered him.

 

[industrian]

Holy shit, so Anderson basically did the job and put Wildman over for the good of the company.

Is Silva trying to subtly say that he threw the fight?

I'm getting these vibes too.

 

[JB1981]

What a joke. Something stinks and it smells like a rigged boxing match

 

[ChosenPredator]

wooooooooooooooooo

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I'm so confused!

 

[Alebelly]

that was really odd

 

[ldcommando]

Where is heel?

 

[Vio-Lence]

Anderson just put Wildman over in a sports entertainment tradition, like Brock putting over Overeem, like Andre putting over Hulk, or Hulk putting over Ultimate Warrior.

That seemed awfully scripted for Anderson going to "retirement".

 

[LiquidMetal14]

After watching the replay, did anyone see Weidman holding back a little on the punched when he had him down?

Bah, this does seem a bit fishy.

 

[Razorskin]

Anderson doesn't want more of Weidman? Seriously?
Who is he going to fight?



Man.. he just took the showboating to a different level tonight. It was the whole fight.

G

S

P

 

[SRTtoZ]

Na he didnt throw the fight. He fights like this all the time its just that his confidence is so high he thinks he can play around and get away with it. This time he got caught, plain and simple.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

 

[freenudemacusers]

Seriously. This seems like some WWE shit. WTF is going on?

he doesn't even seem bothered by the loss.

[SuperAndroid17]

I'm gonna have to agree , " everyone respect him now! hes champion! not me! I'm going home"

Sounds like shit

 

[onadesertedisland]

Anderson has always taken advantage of his lankyness. This time the opponent was the same size. Weidman also seemed to not fall into Anderson's traps nor get too angry at his antics. Thus the result. The Ali act only works when the other guy falls for it.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Anderson knew it was coming and so he just accepted it. Passing of the torch tonight. Weidman isn't losing at 185 for a long time.

 

[Anth0ny]

Holy shit, so Anderson basically did the job and put Wildman over for the good of the company.

just delivered a cena promo too lol

 

[Jest Chillin]

I not retire. I have ten more paychecks that the UFC has to give me. But I no more fight for the belt.

Lol

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Silva didnt throw the fight. What we saw tonight was a classic case of feeling yourself. Canderson bought into his own hype.

People pay good money to watch these fights live and on PPV and Canderson shows up and plays around like its a sparring session. Fuck him. Legacy destroyed. He will be remembered for getting KO'd while playing around. This is his new signature UFC highlight.

Also please can we stop thinking this chump can beat Bones. Johnny would destroy him.

 

[BigJonsson]

Did he throw the fight lol

 

[iddqd]

No one should be too upset, Anderson had great success with this stuff. He had to get caught one day.

 

[Kusagari]

I seriously thought Anderson would directly challenge GSP at the end of his speech lol.

 

[Shaheed79]

That was one of the funniest KO's in combat history. Andy is hilarious. Good luck to him whatever he decides to do.

 

[agrajag]

We'll never know how the fight would've gone had Anderson not been a stupid idiot. Oh well, I'm ok with this. Weidman is a good fighter and deserves everyone's congrats. Who's the #1 contender now, if Anderson doesn't want a rematch?

 

[Cheesyhobo]

Why are people saying Anderson would have walked through that fight if he tried? Did anyone notice Weidman's head movement and how he was slipping Anderson's pitches?

 

[NomarTyme]

lmao.

 

[Biff]

He is going to get wrecked, apologize for ring rust, and fight Mark Munoz after Mark split decision-s Boetsch.

Holy shit I got got.

Anderson Silva: God or Fraud? Maybe now, it's more fraud than we ever imagined. #ITSAWORK

 

[charsace]

I wonder if anderson threw the fight? Says he doesn't want a rematch, but he's gonna keep fighting? Moving to 205 and machida moving to 185?

Weidman vs Machida next?

 

[dream]

If I had to guess, Mr. White and Mr. Fertitta went to Anderson and told him "we want to go with the Wildman as the future of the company because he's young, good looking, and American." And Anderson agreed to take a dive, give the kid a clean win, give him a glowing endorsement, while moving into some sort of legends role where he'll only do superfights.

 

[alr1ght]

He's just saying he wants some superfights. I'd still be interested in watching them.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Cant wait for the post fight to see what Chael says.

 

[Plywood]

 

[SoulPlaya]

Silva did not throw the fight. Maybe his heart wasn't totally into it, but he didn't throw the fight.

 

[Ether_Snake]

After watching the replay, did anyone see Weidman holding back a little on the punched when he had him down?

Bah, this does seem a bit fishy.

He didn't, his punch came in contact with the ref and prevented him from throwing it right. I thought so too at first, but no.

 

[BadAss2961]

Anderson going home to be a family man.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Seriously. This seems like some WWE shit. WTF is going on?

And look at when Silva goes down. It's like Weidman is afraid to hit him. Lacked intensity.

This just doesn't seem right.

He didn't, his punch came in contact with the ref and prevented him from throwing it right. I thought so too at first, but no.

There just seemed to be some apprehension instead of full on finishing.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Yea this was the worst way to go out. Playing around and losing a piece of your legacy.

 

[a secret-boss]

really wanted GSP and Silva final fall

 

[Pimpwerx]

@JonnyBones this sucks.

Pay day might just have gone for him. PEACE.

 

[BSsBrolly]

Woooooow, amazing!

 

[dem]

Guys stop with the WWE shit. You sound fucking retarded.

Anderson is 38..

 

[RdN]

Oh, wtf at people saying his legacy is destroyed. Come the fuck on........

 

[LiquidSolid]

Excuses. Anderson did what he always does, be a dick, difference is that this time he got caught.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Anderson has always taken advantage of his lankyness. This time the opponent was the same size. Weidman also seemed to not fall into Anderson's traps nor get too angry at his antics. Thus the result. The Ali act only works when the other guy falls for it.

So you're saying Weidman is Joe Frazier?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

lmao @ Silva "doing the job"

 

[Biff]

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Damn Silva could have had that if he wasn't so cocky.
