What fight did you watch?Weidman did no damage to Silva up until the K.O.Be serious, Silva was always with his hands down and his chin LEANED towards his opponent.
If he wanted to take the match seriously he would not do shit like that, Weidman is not on his level, no one is and thats sad for the division.I wish Lyoto would just drop to middle weight, cause his a bit small for that devision.
He would beat the shit out of Weidman.
ahhh.. budd, what fight were u watching? i mean, other than some hard leg kicks and joe rogan sounding off like a child in a candy store ,what did Silva do ?
from what i recall:
the first minute of the fight was a feeling out process - takedown by wiedman (easy, and well timed by the way ) - then he laid him down with a couple of hard shots from the top that had silva's head snap back a couple of times - a submission attempt ( knee lock to an ankle lock if I'm not mistaken ) - silva defends well and stands up.
Then comes the part were we differ, Andersons antics - you claim clowning around ,making easy of the task in hand - I claim a desperate guy pulling the fight to his comfort zone
Thats exactly what i saw on ufc 162 , a desperate guy after those 3 mins
he was irritated throughout the break his cornermen were calming him down
Andersons antics are part of his game , fighters succumb to his mind games he broke a lot of fighters with such antics , though he couldn't weidman , weidman kept his cool, stayed composed. the kid is headstrong i give props when i see it …
Point is Anderson didn't gift weidman - Weidman took the fight
Brilliant performance ,Good for the kid, team Longo and Matt Serra baby!
