They said silva was dominated in both fights with that guy, and that if the guy would have connected on that backwards punch or whatever it's called, he would have probably won right then.

Congrats to Silva. Unquestionably one of the greatest MMA fighters ever!
Congrats to Tito Ortiz for a great career! Many enjoyable fights. You entertained fight fans very well during your career. True champion and a hall of famer for sure!
Santos lucky? I would have to disagree also. Santos boxing is top notch & just a good all around fighter. The only 1 I can see beating him is Overeem imo. Ive been following him since the Pride days I always thought he was underrated. Cain is good too. I wouldnt be suprised if he got the title but but I just dont see it happening.
As far as Anderson Silva, Ive never been a fan of his, but nobody cant deny that he has been completely dominant over the years. Im a GSP fan myself but he is P4P the best right now. He may be overrated to some but he has the track record for it. I would like to see GSP comeback win a few a maybe, a BIG maybe , have him fight Silva. peace.
Silva vs. GSP should have already happened if Dana White wasn't such a ego maniac.
lol agreedQuote:

yea I don't know him.......who's Royce Gracie, or Renzo, or Ryan (r.i.p), or Rickson? I have no idea who they are.......you're right.Quote:

I guess I'm just oblivious to the whole sport from the early days.......
don't speak out of turn LMAO......that made me laugh out loud XD
you're a funny guy fanboy.....I like you.
I want to see Silva vs. Jones!!!!!!!! Might be too early for who would change weight though? Might be too early for Jones to take on Silva.
I don't know what the fuck this guy is smoking, but Anderson Silva is a fucking beast!!!! Overrated? I don't know. perhaps calling hi the g.o.a.t. might be overrating him (a little) but he is the best MMA fighter in the world right now. can't really take an argument against that point seriously myself.
I see how this is going to be, lol I call you sensitive, you comeback saying I'm sensitive, etc etc......it goes nowhere, so what's the use? My original response was intiated by YOUR response to my praise of Silva; don't call me a hypocrite for saying I'm a GSP hater, when you came all up in here as an Anderson hater....Quote:

I already listed other "high-calibur talent" GSP has defeated. If you choose to ignore them, fine by me.Quote:

I don't know what the fuck this faggot is reading, cause I never denied Silva being the best MMA fighter in the world. But when you actually look at the competition Silva has faced compared to Jones and GSP....he's overrated to a extent. FACT.Quote:

Sherk dropped to LW, but he was a dominant WW before that. He only dropped because he couldn't beat Hughes and GSP. Sherk was undisputed #2 WW in the world at the time he fought GSP.Quote:

Fitch is BY FAR better than anyone Silva has ever faced. Fitch is still the 2nd best WW in the world, and he really did clean out pretty much everyone.
And like I said, Jones already has more quality wins in his last 2 years than Anderson has in his entire MMA career.
Henderson is still Silva's most impressive win.
yeah cuz HW dont have unique style matchups like the lighter classes... cmon...Quote:

jr standup >>> cain standup
jr tdd >>> cain td
i think JDS drops him again 1st round KO..
cains a good kickboxer for MMA but his defense is shaky he gets tagged by everyone standing and if you got a lot of power like jr you can put him out before he drags you down..
need to see reem vs JDS thats the fight im undecided on fireworks for sure...
silva wins... chael did a nice job that first round he layed the blueprint down on how you beat spider... you take him to the mat and work him... if sonnen had heavier ground n pound he coulda finished him in full mount... he was even fishing for subs in side control.... he has the wrestling to take him down and the control to hold him there but surviving the exchanges thagt take it to the mat for 25 mins is a tall order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont think bones jones and silva will ever fight but i would take jon jones in that fight... if johnny has silva mounted those elbows will stab him in the eye... jones is too big... jones could bring the pressure like he did the 2nd round of machida fight when he realized trading with machida is a bad idea... straight to the mat... i think machida is a lot harder to take down than andy...
i wish the hendo anderson fight happened at 205 dan was gassing a lot harder at 185 when that went down... hendo uses his werestling to stay up and knock fools out... he was bullying andy that fight till he gassed got hit up and choked... id like to see that fight again anyway at 85 or 205
also would really like to see shogun fight andy.. i need to see a deadly stand up fighter with a chin go against silva.. shogun also has crazy GNP and good takedowns and subs... shit shoulda happened a long time ago... cote has a metal chin and was able to stand and trade til his kneee blew out and hes not real technical... its all matchups chael is a bad matchup cuz his strength is andys weakness
he had 2 cherry fights at 205 and bodied both... up the challenge...
agree with everything you said about Cain and JDS comparison. I don't think Anderson and Shogun would ever fight considering their Chute Boxe history, though I may be wrong. I know there was a lot of tension after Anderson dipped out on Chute Boxe; Wanderlei was pretty vocal if I recall correctly back in the day, and they had some heated words for one another, but as far as I know they're all good with one another now, so I dunno about a Shogun match vs Anderson.Quote:

Why? I dunno....maybe because people back in those days didn't care much for the lower weight categories......but I digress.Quote:

Even though he was utterly pwned both times he and Anderson fought, he should still be regarded as the same-level as Hughes IMO.
Even when Hughes was on top durning is tenure as the top guy in his weight class, he defended his belt to: Carlos Newton, Sakurai, Gil castilo, Frank Trigg, and Sean Sherk. Aside from Sherk, I'd consider the rest bum-status (though I hate Sherk as well), and aside from BJ Penn (which he lost 2 of the 3 times they met), GSP (again losing 2 of the 3 times they met) the only other calibur fighter I'd say Hughes fought with were an over-the-hedge Royce and Renzo Gracie, Koschek who I've never regarded as a good fighter, and maybe Matt Serra depending on where he stands in people's books......
I never regarded Hughes as a p4p guy, though that doesn't mean I don't recognize his status as great (as you would with Anderson). But to say Anderson hasn't fought anyone the same caliber talent-wise as GSP, defeating Hughes for the belt, I'd say the same goes for when Anderson defeated Franklin for the belt. Franklin will never be regarded as p4p, but he IS recognized for being one of the greats, and I think if Anderson stayed in PRIDE, and never came to the UFC, his career status (Franklin) could've developed into a potential Liddell-type-status for the MW division.
Jones I have no comment; not a particular fan of his, though he has shown he has talent in such a short time especially against the competition he has faced.
Again, Sherk was a dominant WW, when the top fighters were unrecognizable; I mean look at his record, and the names are easily forgettable. It wasn't until later in his career he met the likes of Nick Diaz, BJ Penn, Tyson Griffin, Kenny Florian, etc. With the exception of GSP and Hughes, Sherk never impressed me, and I'll never regard him as one of the greats....Quote:

Who is left?.......I love Hendo, but I don't see how he's going to get passed Jones's reach advantage.Quote:

even though my boy cheated his ass off (grabbing sonnen's shorts like he was gonna either pull them down, pull them way up, or maybe take his dick out and play with it), i was glad to see him put that cracker on his ass. i was hoping he would hospitalize him, but it was still all good. sonnen looked at the ref like,"you see this shit?!?!?!?".
the only one fuckin with anderson is bones. give bones another year or 2 and he may take a lot of the wind out of the anderson silva hype. i would love to see them fight in a rubber match or even if silva wanted to go up to 205, but being a realist i know that it will never happen.
but as of right now? silva deserves all his praise. and like someone said before, even when he gets beat on he never looks like he had a fight. and check out the documentary "like water". pretty good documentary about the spider.
Word, Like Water was pretty good. Didn't really learn anything new about Anderson in that documentary, but it was kind of cool reliving his first fight with Sonnen.
Look at the guys Rich was fighting when the UFC was hyping him during his run at 185. Tanner, Nate and the Crow. That just doesn't stand the test of time, His career since then has largely been win one, lose one against top competition. You could argue that he would have been better if Silva hadn't forced him out of MW. On the other hand, I think Vitor puts him in a coma at 185 too.Quote:

And "bum's"? Lol Newton had just choked out Pat and was quite the fighter. Riggs was looking pretty good as well (Won the WEC championship) Trigg was a serious competitor at the time.
Lytle,Newton,Sakurai,Penn, Sherk,Trigg, and GSP are all notable names on Hughes record.
As for GSP's resume.
Fitch - #2 ranked WW,anywhere from #6-#10 on P4P list at the time. Bigger than GSP at 6'1". Fight could have been stopped 3 or 4 times - EASILY. Biggest scoring margin in title-fight history that went to a decision.
Alves- #2 or #3ranked WW,anywhere from #6-#10 on P4P list at the time.
Hardy - GSP had Dan (6'0") in two VERY tight submission holds that most fighters would have tapped in. I also think Hardy's size posed a problem - honestly.
Kos - GSP beat the crap out of Josh. Sometimes the lucky connection just doesn't land.
Sheilds- Top 6 P4P and concensus #2 WW in theworld. He had beaten Dan Henderson at MW just a few months before. GSP received a blatant eye-poke similar to the one he took from Penn in their first meeting. The gif is out there and its one of the most blatant ones I've seen. It affected GSP a lot for the final two rounds no question.
Bottom line, is that GSP through all those decisions has faced the absolute cream of the crop (at the time they fought).
In 18 UFC fights, GSP has faced NINE top 10 P4P fighters at the time they fought! Hughes 3x (yes, all three times he was ranked in the top ten), Sean Sherk (31-2-1), BJ Penn (yes, both times Penn was ranked top 10), Fitch, Alves and Sheilds. There's no question GSP has beaten tougher competition. That's simply the only point I'm trying to make.
what are some good matches by this Palhares guyQuote:

Chris Weidman just pwned Mark Munoz with a perfectly timed elbow.......he's 5-0 now in the UFC, and 9-0 overall.
Prob going to be ANderson's next opponent.
Weidman looked great out there tonight. He dominated Munoz on the ground which was very impressive, and the elbow was sweet. The referee stopped the fight late as hell though.
Despite his run, I doubt he gets the next shot. I'd still like to see him get one more win under his belt. The next contender will become more clear soon. People were talking about Lombard possibly getting the shot if he wins his next fight, but Id want him to build his UFC resume a little more. I think that the winner between Bisping and whoever he fights next (Stann or Belcher) will likely get the nod. We shall see though.
