Anderson Silva

Sorry about the vague title, I should have known I guess, as you should have as well. Still, can a mod add a spoiler alert to the title for me? I'll edit the first post.

I didn't get to watch the fight, still I knew if I opened a thread titled "Anderson Silva", there would be spoilers, that's a given. No worries here..

I have no problem saying Anderson Silva is one of, if not THE best MMA fighters to bless the sport. With that said, I can't stand watching the arrogant prick, and I'm glad his bull$hit finally got the best of him.

+1, about time someone finally knocked his ass out.

Silva's cockiness caught up with him tonight. His natural talent only carried his so far. On the other had, Weidmann looked so-so. Always been a St. Pierre (a true professional) fan, enough said.

Agree, same level as Silva, completely different attitude, you mention the term sportsman, and St. Pierre is one of the first names that comes to my head.

Anderson definitely is a defensive fighter, so he's become accustomed, and very good at, irritating his opponents into attacking him so he can capitalize on their mistakes.

Agreed, but I still don't like to 1) make my friends mad, 2) be that guy that posts spoilers.

Anderson probably could of win first round if he wanted to, but he got his cocky ass TKO'd.

I still wouldn't mind a Jones vs Silva match. I always thought that he would have a better shot than GSP.

He was being a clown and deserved what he got.

Last night Silva gave that fight away because he was tired of the pressure of being the undisputed champion for 7 years straight. I don't blame him for wanting to pass on the belt and move on to the next phase of his life, in order to compete at his level he has to dedicate every minute of his life to training and probably has almost no time for his wife and 5 children.

With that being said money talks and I could see White throwing a lot of money at Silva to fight for the title again. There are currently talks that Silva will fight Roy Jones Jr. In the near future.
