I think the second fight against JDS pretty much solidified Cain's status in the HW division. The first fight was a lucky punch that JDS capitalized on, the second fight was a 5 round beating, no question, JDS lost every round of the second fight and came out looking like Donatella Versace!

Not sure who to reply to right now. Too many good points from Marla and Padawan.

I will say this, Pettis is NOT going to beat Henderson.
Sonnen, in all due respect pretty much beat Anderson in his prime. I know that's not official, but I watched it, and that White boy destroyed Anderson. Even with striking, Sonnen backed him up.

Weidman just went a step further and knocked him the fuck out. LOVED IT. Even before Weidman knocked him out, he went to the ground with "the Spider" and turned him upside down with ease.

And to YOU PADAWAN! Cain and Jones will happen! I can't fucking wait! Cain is only 240, so this will be a great match up in 2014. Once Jones is done with Gus (or should I say if). I say this with confidence because Junior has talked quite the shit lately, and a pissed off Cain is not good news for JDS.

woot woot!

someone remind me when sonnen beat anderson please. i remember weidman whooping his cocky showboating ass though.

I wouldn't say weidman whooped his ass, silva went crazy and got ko..and wasn't sonnen on steroids or tested for high testosterone levels or somthin in that fight?

A lot of haters up in here. Probably just this site in general, but calm the fuck down. What the fuck have you done with your life? Silva will go down in history as one of the greats, antics & all. Someone recently referred to Forrest Griffin as a "pillowfisted shit wrestler". The guy is one of the nicest most humble dudes you could ever meet, and lets not forget his role in the overnight success of TUF, and the UFC as a whole. Bitchassness, as I like to call it. You ain't done shit with your life & don't have anything better to do than scrutinize people who have. Padawan, you're cool, but I think you could lay down a firm pimp-hand on some of these clowns.

 

[Mike Young]

On a lighter note, have you guys seen these vids? Pretty damn funny. He's got a shitload of em. [video=youtube;0Rx69NXgIjw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rx69NXgIjw[/video]

 

[socaljoe]

His Nick Diaz parodies are my favorites. He does a spot-on Weidman impression.

 

[Padawanbater2]

Yeah those videos are great, his Anderson Silva impression is my favorite! lol!

 

[Padawanbater2]

So what would you guys rather see happen in the Silva v. Weidman 2 fight, Silva wins and takes back the championship, which leads to more hype about his future in the UFC, or Weidman wins and secures his status as legitimate middleweight champion, and the only man in history to dominate Anderson Silva, leading to an exciting new stage for the middleweight division?!

Either seems like it'll benefit the UFC, I can't remember when I was more excited to see how it plays out, Anderson's been dominating the division for so damn long!

I hope Silva wins and we get another epic UFC trilogy!

Good discussion, good points

Do you think the superfight between Silva and Jones if Silva won and Jones beat Gustafsson would have had more PPV buys than the Silva v. Weidman 2 rematch?

You ain't done shit with your life & don't have anything better to do than scrutinize people who have.

Oh, I get it. So because some of us have a different opinion than you, we have done nothing with our lives. You sound like a complete dumb fuck to me. I'm in my 30's and still pretty successful, still making money. Matter of fact, just short of telling you what I do for a living, I can GUARANTEE that by the age of 25 I made more money and travelled more countries than you will ever see in your entire life. I am quite happy in life, because I get laid regularly and eat like a king. Question is, what the fuck have you done with YOUR life?

You see, opinions are allowed here. I'm not sure what dictatorship you live under, but where I come from we embrace other opinions even if they differ from mine.

Well, I watched the fight three times, and once Silva knew he wasn't going implement his will on Chris, he started with the antics. It's the same thing he does every fight, only this time it was Chris Weidman. Silva did nothing different than any other fight, but people want to say it was because he started showboating. I DISAGREE, the only difference between this and any other fight Silva has been in was Chris Weidman. Anderson will lose in the rematch.

I haven't watched the fight again,'but from what I remember silva wasn't even trying to hit him the entire first round or even in the second,, I really don think weidman has a chance in hell, im sure as shit nit gonna put $ on him.. but either way I'm interested to see the rematch

I think Silva/Weidman 2 will be the most anticipated & hyped fight in ufc history. Gonna make the Fertitta brothers a shit-ton of money.

 

[Mike Young]

Congratulations! I also enjoy the hell out of my life, make lots of money & travel. I own my house, and it's paid for. No payments, just taxes. I own a 28' sail boat, 4 cars & a motorcycle. I'm 31. You can have all the success in the world & still be a prick.

They're going to hype the shit out of that fight till Dec. 28th! I think it'll bring in a huge PPV crowd, but I think the Silva v. Jones superfight had Silva beat Weidman would have been the fight of the decade! Who knows though, say Jones beats Gus, and Silva decisively beats Weidman, that superfight is back on the table with as much anticipation, if not more, than before! I think that's the best scenario for the UFC. Weidman wins again and he's solidified his position as champ at MW, so either way, that's a HUGE fight! Silva wins, it also sets up the trilogy which is always exciting!

Nobody has really given Jones a legitimate challenge at LHW, I'm really interested in seeing what Gustafsson can pull off! That guy is a warrior himself!

You are 6 years older than me, how did you accomplish that at your age? I can't understand how anyone can honestly get by these days.. that's impressive

 

[Bublonichronic]

I think silva v gsp is a better fight, realistically jones is smart, if he felt he couldn't out strike silva, he would out wrestle him for sure, and I think silva has a better chance against gsp in a wrestling match...but, jones vs cane would be good, I just don't see it happening

 

[Mike Young]

Yeah, I also thing silva/gsp makes a better fight. I just can't see Silva being able to overcome the reach/talent/size of Jones. That guy is a handful!

 

[Bublonichronic]

Is it me or is the best fight on the next card lawler v voeikler... actually lawler fights are always best on the card, he's like Chris Lebin, only not just a punching bag, ahha, I don't even like watching Lebin fight anymore

I think your scenario is what Dana & Lorenzo would LOVE to see play out. Silva has stated that he wouldn't fight Jones, but he's under contract. I really hope Gustaf can pose a legitimate threat to Jones, and not have a 1 sided fight. Should be interesting.

I'm not rich, by any means. Hell, I'm not even college educated. Personally, I think it's overrated. I work hard & have always been wise with my money. My wife the same. I prefer to live in the country now, but close enough to civilization. That helps quite a bit.

Jesus, I F-ed that post up. This V-bulletin software has gotten annoying. Maybe it's just me.
