Official UFC 112 Discussion Thread...............Spoilers

[Russ S.]

Silva is a Schmuck.
I've lost all respect for the "greatest".

 

[Super Mario]

I can't remember the last Silva fight I watched where the crowd didn't boo.

 

[kdailey4315]

Put someone in the cage with Silva that has at least 1/10th of his talent and I'm sure the showboating stops.

 

[MojoDan]

Am I the only one that thinks Nate can give him a go if they meet again?

 

[Super Mario]

******* horrible.

How can Dana and everyone still tout him at the number 1 P4P in the world when he does this **** 5 fights in a row?

At some point it isn't cute anymore.

 

[kdailey4315]

Am I the only one that thinks Nate can give him a go if they meet again?

Yes you are. Nate has no chance against him. He couldn't even beat Chael Sonnen

 

[Super Mario]

Just because.

 

[bigredmachine]

Silva's day will come. If he fights enough he will eventually lose. About his antics. Who really knows what he was doing. Is he just baiting his opponents? Forest Griffin? Question who is next for him? Sonnen? GSP? Somebody at 205? Belfort? I dont know but If im Dana White I dont put him as the main event due to his ability to not finish fights. I could say that about GSP too.

 

[G $MONEY$]

ill be watching this later tonight!!

 

[TheNextLevL]

Here's my predictions for the bout's 2night:

Hughes vs. Gracie will be a toss-up. Hardly anyone has seen Renzo in a long time, but I watched the live weigh-in's and he looks pretty evenly-matched standing face to face with Matt. Someone's going to tap.

BJ Penn has cleaned out the 155 LB division, and Frankie Edgar will be added to that list. I think Dana White should force him up to 170. (fighters like BJ, GSP, and Anderson Silva should all move up, in my opinion.)

Damien Maia is dangerous business on the ground, but good luck getting the fight there. Anderson Silva will dictate the entire fight, eventually knocking him down, or out, or a combination of both, ...OR he'll take him to the ground himself and win via rear naked choke. Either way, Maia is toast.

 

[TheNextLevL]

I kinda see the Silva vs. Maia fight looking a lot like what happend when Anderson fought Dan Henderson for the UFC/Pride Middleweight Title Unification.

BJ Penn vs. Frankie Edgar will be similar to the fight BJ had against Sherk in 08 and his last fight against Diego Sanchez.

I wanna say Hughes but it's just been too long since anyone's seen Renzo Gracie, or even heard his name for that matter... but I'm not counting him out. I'll go: Hughes - 55% / Gracie - 45%. Feel free to argue with me on this one... but keep in mind, Hughes submitted Royce Gracie... which to this day is still one of the best fights in UFC history.

 

[TheNextLevL]

Am I the only one that thinks Nate can give him a go if they meet again?

No you're not. Nate's last fight didn't end in his favour, but I'm pretty sure he could take Silva's head off if given another shot.

You know the fights already happened right?

 

[kdailey4315]

I can see Dana not giving Silva GSP now just out of spite but that fight will make so much money I don't see how he can't do it. Especially if Silva can get down to 170 like he claims.

 

[Super Mario]

I just don't see Silva as a main eventer doing a ton of buys for UFC. And this isn't going to help future buys for events that he's headlining. He needs to stop jackassing around and go in there and be the dominate fighter that he can and should be. These last few fights of his have been embarrassing. Even the Forrest fight was a sham because it was just like Griffin knew he was out classed and gave up. But this, the Forrest, Cote and Thales fights have all been complete jokes.

The looks like he's bored out there in this division, that he knows the competition that Dana is giving him can't beat him, and he's just toying around with them to amuse himself.

He just looks like he's not too interested in these opponents.

He needs better competition so he actually has to push himself and take an interest in the fight.

I honestly think he could've beat Forrest, Cote, Thales and Maia without even having a training camp. He made them all look like little boys.

 

[Super Mario]

And I'd advide Sonnen to shut the **** up too. The last thing HE wants to do is actually give Silva motivation to kick his ass. An unmotivated Silva could kick Sonnen's ass. He doesn't want him to be pissed at him for running his mouth. And that's all Sonnen's done since beating Nate.

 

[kdailey4315]

That alligator death roll into the anaconda that Phil Davis put on that poor person was impressive. That guy is a beast.

Spot on. Silva's last couple of fights have been some of the most boring fights I've seen. If he wants to continue to headline UFC cards, he needs to finish people instead of toying around with them for two-three rounds. He is clearly in his own class, but the showboating really isn't necessary. Dana needs to challenge him with a worthy opponent so he'll actually try and show people that he can take things seriously.

 

[MojoDan]

I want Silva to move up in weight, not down...

 

[Super Mario]

I wouldn't mind seeing him do what they were talking about during the fight. Going down to 170 to fight GSP then moving up to Heavyweight and challenging himself there. 185's a damn joke for him. And people who think Vitor would beat him, just look at what happened when he fought the guy most people thought could beat him too, Dan Henderson. Vitor would have gotten beat too.

Only fight I'd reall be exstatic to see concerning Anderson would be for him to fight Rogerio. I'd mark out huge for that 205 fight. More so than a 170 fight with GSP, because I feel that Anderson would just be too much for Georges with the reach and kicks.




UFC wants to test Anderson, get his ass in there with Rogerio. He won't be able to ***** foot around with Lil Nog like he does these chumps at 185.

But that'll never happen.
