^ Plus, many sites have said that Shogun/Wandy have had a bitter relationship with Anderson.
They are on the decline while anderson is not only re-writing history but signing endorsement deals with mega companies.If your star was fading wouldnt u want to rub shoulders with a dude whose star is shinning? :leon:

Kind of feel sorry for anderson being surrounded by so many dudes with a propensity for losing lately.I hope it doesnt rub off on him..A loss to bonnar would be a cruel joke

Shogun and machida won their last fights by ko moron :smugfavre:

On top of that Shogun won the title. Nog won the title. Rampage won the title. So they were doing okay.
matt sera and forrest griffin also won a title, anyone can win a title given the right circumstances under zuffa's crooked booking system. The mark of a true champion is how they won it and who they defended it against
yeah and boy did he work hard for that KO.In fact vera's stock rose in that loss more than shogun's did by winning.Whats his record in the UFC again 4-5? yeah thats what I thought
and machida won their last fights by ko
against the world beater named bader :rudy: and before that went 1-3 :childplease: go sit in a corner
So tell me, out of Shogun, Wandy, Big Nog and Anderson, who isn't a legend?

This will be good.
let me say this in a way that u would understand when hanks/julia roberts were in their primes they had the midas touch and could do no wrong.Now they are dusty as vinyls they've decided to collaborate on 2 flix that barely gets mentioned..

Their past will always speak for itself but today they are :flabbynsick: and irrelevant.

Damn. They're saying Frank Mir is out of his fight with Cormier. I was looking forward to Mir getting his brains beat in.

I got some hope that Belfort will shock the world. He KNOWS this is his last title shot. He will go for it and eat some shots to deliver that one KO blow. And if there is ever blood in the water, he's going to go for the kill immediately and blow his entire wad to try to make it happen. And because of that, I think he will make it more interesting than people think it will be.

Nothing more dangerous than a guy like him willing to leave it ALLLLLL in the ring.

Also, I think Bonnar has a decent shot. If you remember the last 3 fights before the entire Chael Sonnen saga, Anderson was fighting weird. He would have his opponents hurt but then he'd hang back for the decision. He didn't finish.

I could be wrong but I had the weird feeling at the time that he gassed and was disguising it with dancing. The Damien Maia fight made me feel more than way in the last round. Maia was hitting him and Silva didn't do much. Maia was mad tired and couldn't hurt Silva but at the same time Silva didn't really hurt Maia either in the later rounds. He was just dancing. I think Silva might've gassed.

Anyway, if my theory is right, then Bonnar can be interesting because he's got an iron chin to withstand a Silva onslaught and he'll bring it to Silva. He won't fight scared. If Silva gasses and starting dancing, Bonnar will dirty box and expose Silva's gas tank.

The gas tank theory is my own best guess as to why Silva was acting so weird in those fights.

Honestly I don't see Bonnar having any chance and Silva's gas tank won't even be tested. You can have an iron chin and Silva will still drop you add in the fact I think Bonnar will try to be on the attack he'll just get picked apart badly.

In what world is Vitor not aggressive? If he ever catches Jones, he's going jump on him and completely dump his tank to get the W. If Jones recovers, he's going to be so gassed.
