"This time, it's going to be even clearer. With a full camp with no infections, no illness I'm going to finish him quicker. Chris has nothing for me. He's going down again either by knockout or TKO. I don't mind which one, I'll go in there and see what happens but it'll be an even easier night for me. I have a few guys left for me here and then we will see. I'll handle the division here and then I'm always free to move up. I don't think Cormier is going to be around forever and I'm a lot younger so there's potential if he was to step down and step out then I would definitely move up and challenge." - Luke Rockhold

That makes me very sad to read. I actually didn't even think Silva looked bad. I thought he didn't look like he was in his prime, but he did quite a lot that I liked, and I thought he won rounds 3-5, which should've sealed the fight for him. I also think there's a case that the fight should've been stopped after the flying knee, and I'm willing to chalk up the lack of effort to finish in rounds 4 and 5 to that energy getting deflated after he thought he won.Anderson needs to retire ASAP
"He felt a kick he landed in the first round, thought he cracked his leg and a screw moved," Dorea said. "That limited his movements, made him stop attacking for a moment. I asked him to attack, but he said ‘professor, I’m feeling it, I have no confidence’. I said ‘use your heart, you’re Anderson Silva, go after him’. That slowed him down a bit. Bisping attacked more, but less effectively. Anderson was more effective. I hope the commission reviews this result because this is bad for the sport. Even Dana Whitesaw that way. Everybody knows who won the fight."
Despite the pain, Silva is apparently out of danger.
"Silva did some exams after the fight. He suffered an injury, but the screw didn’t move," he added. "I don’t know how bad the injury was, but I know the screw didn’t move and he won’t need a surgery. He was in pain in the locker room, but he won’t need surgery. He was in pain, he couldn’t even put his shoes on, but he’s fine now."
The boxing coach scored the contest 48-47 in Silva’s favor, and thinks referee Herb Dean should have ended the fight after the third round since it took almost 90 seconds for the fourth round to start.
"I disagree (with the decision). First of all, I disagree with the knockout," Dorea said. "He landed the knee, (Bisping) went down completely out. Anderson stopped hitting him, celebrated. He couldn’t have pushed forward, but stopped. According to (Silva), he looked to the guy and he was bad. And Herb Dean begging him to come back... I never saw something like that in the fight world, the cornerman bringing the stool next to where he went down. The referee told him to come back up, and he didn’t. The fight is over. He couldn’t even go back to his corner. Almost two minutes have passed between rounds. The fight is over, winner by knockout.
"Let’s talk about the scorecards now. Anderson lost the first and second rounds, and won the third really well. How do you score a round like that? If the fight wasn’t over by knockout, you can’t score it (10-9) like the others. He won the fourth round, a close one, and won really well the fifth. To me, he won the fight."
And even if you score the fourth round for Bisping, Dorea says, the fight should have been a draw.
"The commissions are too subjective," he said. "How do you score the third round after that massacre the same way you score for a guy that threw 30 punches and missed 25, and those that landed were ineffective? His only effective punch was the one that knocked Anderson down, but Anderson’s punches were way more effective."
Silva’s manager suggests an immediate rematch between "The Spider" and "The Count" on May 14 in Brazil, and Dorea believes the former champion will be ready to fight again by that date.
"(Silva) said he wants to fight," said the coach. "He will take two or three weeks off to rest and come back. Anderson wants to fight in Brazil. I believe he will be ready to train again in two or three weeks, and then fight again in two or three months. That also shows who won the fight. Anderson can fight in two months. Can Bisping do the same after that beating?"
But it's still sad to read that he thought a screw in his leg moved and that he wasn't as confident after that. My friend watching the fight noted that he looked a little hesitant to throw leg kicks at one point. Can't blame him. Psychologically I'm surprised he recovered enough to ever throw a kick again at all.
He's still the GOAT to me.

I need that Jacare rematch to happen before he moves up. I've been waiting for that rematch since the first one went down.

Anderson Silva looked great. I mean he got the KO. LOL.
Nah, but he was creative and doing his thing.
Still coming up with crazy attacks. I noticed his elbows flaring a lot. His straight kicks were doing damage and had no tell but had lots of power.
But he definitely lost a step though. He's not nearly as fast as he was. Also, I was on edge because it feels like he's so fragile now and leaves himself so exposed that it's likely that he can get caught.
