Rampage needs to be able to at least stifle middleweights before he starts calling out heavyweights (I'm referring to Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida here - and I'm referring to the fact that they both started out at 185 before going to 205).

That said - Rampage likes to eat when he's not trying to make 205, so if he's gonna call someone out, he might as well call someone out that's also on the cheeseburger diet.

Anderson Silva got caught. KO bitch. Playing those silly games.

And my FB response. Cocky got a cóck in his àss... Sorry Silva

:owned:

On another similar note, I was once told by some Costco employees that he shops at Costco once a week or so... Just looked it up, he lives 5 min away from me, lol

I almost feel like he threw the fight or something.. I mean I know he didnt but with the post fight interview about not wanting a rematch and not wanting to fight for the belt it just felt off to me. that was probably him coping with what just happened 30 secs later but I said to myself earlier this week we are due for one of the anderson silly *** fights like maia and leites and I was right but damn I couldnt have imagined it would be like that.. during round 1 when he was dropping his hands asking weidman to hit him i told my brother what if he got caught ( i think mayhem did that to bisping and got rocked) but wow I about had a heart attack jumping around the house when he layed anderson out.. just crazy I hadnt been that hyped since the either the fedor henderson fight or when wanderlei layed stann out.

All respect to weidman but i know if Vitor gets the shot he will beat weidman.. there are so many guys waiting now that the 185 division doesnt have a stranglehold on it anymore and I think the title will bounce around over the next year or so....that is unless that make him rematch silva.. because if that happens I will bet my GTR silva will destroy him as you want see any of that clowning around he have chris that fight tonight with antics.

Agreed with MC but I don't have a GTR to bet lol

+1

There was definitely something off about the end of that fight and the post fight interview. I feel like there is some shady business going on behind the scenes, but I don't know what or why exactly. He seemed pretty relieved with that loss. I'm just hoping we see a rematch with a serious Anderson Silva.

yeah i mean vitor the last few months just comes off as a madman on a tear and I think he wont be denied if anderson is out of the way. pray to jesus and shoot up some more testosterone and it will happen lol

Im watching the post fight conference and dana is saying people are idiots if they think this will affect andersons legacy but I cant agree, I mean you cant take anything away from him but this loss to me is as or more memorable than every win he has ever had.. I take nothing away from weidman but anderson gave the fight to him with his BS. its true he is known to taunt and play games but this was way too much. when he faked being hurt he left himself so open i could have knocked the guy out thats why im saying it almost feels like he threw it maybe not literally but his attitude is like he could care less. thats the thing about anderson I am amazed by the talent but i just never feel like i get the guy and tonight just dumbfounded me as ive never seen a guy try to hard to loose.

but on the other hand...I will say that when he was doing the bruce lee bounce into the side kick I was drinking the anderson kool aid and was screaming to my buddy on the couch see cant nobody touch this guy...so yes if he would have won doing all that stupid **** i would be on here saying he is jesus christ of mma so its one of those live by the sword die by it type things.. and his *** got slayed by it tonight.

Lot of speculation on the interwebz that silva bet a huge sum against himself and threw the fight.

I agree with you. I think in that first round Silva figured out that he could beat Weidman if he wanted to and then didn't give a fvck after that. I'm a Silva fanboy though so I'm a little biased in this situation.

If Silva doesn't take the rematch, then Belfort deserves the next title shot.

I usually just train Mon-Thu, but I think I might need that Sunday morning BJJ class and some work on the heavy bags to let out the frustration from Silva losing this fight.

Didn't Silva say after the fight talking to Joe Rogan he had 10 more fights left on his contract? Dana said that there would be no super fights now and there would be a Weidman-Silva rematch in the future during the post fight show.

Yeah Dana White made it seem like the rematch was happening next whether Silva wanted it or not.

I am glad Silva got KO'd after pulling that crap. He showed Weidman zero respect and was treating him like it was Stephan Bonnar in the ring with him. Weidman is proven he is dangerous and had a style that would give Silva problems even if he didn't drop his hands. But just like Weidman said everyone says it isn't smart to stand and exchange with Silva but when he was disrespecting him all he wanted to do was knock him out. If Silva was telling the truth about not wanting a rematch then something is very off and will be a mark on his legacy. Silva felt that Weidman wasn't proven and didn't want to give him the title fight but yet he loses to him. He needs to rematch and actually fight to solidify the passing of the torch so to speak if Weidman can do it again. I was pissed that Silva was doing all that clowning around. Others were saying its just what he does he is getting in Weidman's head. That is fine but sooner or later you will get caught with a capable fighter. He came out looking like Forrest Griffin (minus running out of the ring). If the guy didn't deserve to be in the ring with you then destroy him in quick fashion. Tyson didn't toy with anyone if you didn't deserve to be there you would be out on your back in under 3 seconds. All in all the KO of Silva made it worth the price of admission.

I look at all fights in the most simplest way. At the end of the day it goes on your record as win or lost. A loser is a loser no matter the details. So be it you cheated your self.

But I do think Anderson still wouldn't beat Chris in rematch.

I think Silva is bored. We all know if he takes this fight seriously he wipes the floor with Weidman. He let himself get taken down the first time, then showed Weidman he could defend the take down if he wanted.

I initially thought Anderson would be pissed, embarrassed and would destroy Weidman in a rematch. After the post-fight interviews I think he's done and simply doesn't care anymore. We've seen him show boating before, but this was another level. He WANTED Weidman to knock him out. I think its a sad day for the UFC and we'll never really know how long he could have held the belt.

Anyone here HONESTLY think Weidman is the better fighter? Didn't think so..

I didn't see the fight, in fact didn't know until about 7p that there was a UFC event. I've been so preoccupied with other things it seems.

But you're right, it does seem that Silva is bored. And who wouldn't be? No one's come close to ever doing anything against you when you actually try. You have to basically throw the match to make it even a competition. Might as well give up the belt and bow out.

He's still the better fighter.

If Silva were to come back in a rematch and destroy Weidman, do you guys think they'd put the superfights back on the table for him? Maybe if he destroys a couple other people first?

No question. I see it playing out like this. The rematch will probably next year after MMA is legal in New York, in MSG. Silva will win. Then, super fight as long as if one or both current champs are still champs, possibly in Dallas. Zuffa laughs all the way to the bank $$$$$$.

Personally I would like to see Silva change weight classes for the remainder of his contract. Put him in a couple contender fights, then a title fight, then title defense fights for the remainder of his contract.

I can see Silva vs Weidman II for Super Bowl weekend. It's going to be in NJ so it will be home advantage to Weidman. Seems almost too perfect not to happen.

Hopefully the main card will start before 10pm. I'm really annoyed at going to bed at 1AM after the fights.

Well now it is official they will duke it out again!

Sportscenter is reporting Weidman Silva II is official for Dec 28 in Vegas. Boom.

Can't wait to here everyone's BS for losing twice. :stirthepot:

:iagree:

You won't have to because it's not happening :)

I'm gonna try and get tickets for this fight and go see it live.

Good thing is Rhonda Rousey is going to be on the card to.

Mousasi/Belfort for #1 contender of winner between Silva/Weidman

awwwwwwwwyeah!!!!

This card is STACKED

Sounds like I picked a good card to watch in person. BTW, where are you getting your MMA news? I don't see anything about the Mousasi vs Belfort fight at UFC 168.

^ I saw the same thing. UFC and BJ Penn sites on FB show lots of updates as they happen.

Hmm I'll have to like those on FB then. Already have UFC, but their updates kept annoying me so I hid them. Might have to switch them on again...

OMG Mousasi and Belfort. Effing PUMPED. Calling it now. Belfort via Jesus-TRT Falcon Punch TKO.

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Want to take bets on whether Silva and Belfort KO their opponents with the same technique? :roflpuke2:

Gonna be Silva via Neo-Matrix throat flick TKO.

That is if Serious Anderson shows up. Kinda like Healthy Shogun, Motivated BJ, and Chuck with that look in his eyes.

True story. Though I think there's a good chance we will see a more serious Silva. I think he'll still try some of his matrix style punch dodging, but not as much as the first fight and with more attacks thrown in as well.
