They're going to take more punishment either way, so it might as well be against each other.
Thats weak, hunt is just a journeyman and roy aint even a gatekeeper at this juncture neither are going to get a title shot ever. No need for them to try to kill themselves for nothin

For all Anderson has accomplished he has to be the most disrespected great of all time. I understand Munoz was a big win for Weidman but goddamn.

I am noticing that Weidman is talking much more humble about A. Silva the closer and closer that we are getting to the fight. Is he getting fight jitters, knowing he is about to step in the ring with the GAWD?

When everyone and their grandma are cosigning u to be victor u would have to be pretty unsure of yourself to still fan the flames just to pump yourself up.He was only talking smack to get the fight now hes got it there really isnt any need to pop off

It may never happen...


Even if he starts losing, his chin is good and he's probably humble enough to have a more defensive style( i.e. not doing the hands down/dodging as much)...plus his ground defense, in general, is really good.

As he gets older...I just see him being slower and getting taken down more...probably losing decisions where he can't stay upright enough to knock guys out...he won't be getting stopped/dominated and he'll still have his moments...his jiujitsu may even become more of a threat. :patrice:

Those young wrestlers at WW like Rory and maybe even George( :lolbron: ) can't wait until Da Gawd becomes mortal.



And Silva usually centers around using his jab b/c he has a solid reach advantage against everyone he fights...but when he fights guys equal/longer reaches, it's either a clinch war( vs. Bonnar) or he boxes them up throwing a lot more hooks, uppercuts, etc.( vs. Griffin)....he's gonna try to Griffin Bones...:wow: and it may work.

To be honest I think his entire gameplan is based around the fact that a wrestler(chael) took spider down at will. Since He is a wrestler he figures he will do the same, and that isnt necessarily true.


Silva by KO when ever he feels like it :ahh:

You think Rory would move up? He said he wont fight GSP plus he seems really huge for a WW

I'm at the point to where I don't think Rory will ever fight for the WW title as long as George is active b/c they don't wanna fight each other and I honestly don't think George will ever move up...I could visualize George taking a couple super fights @ LW b/f he goes to MW.

I read on Sherdog ( :unsure: ) once that sometimes Rory can hover near 200 lbs. and he's young....he'll be a middleweight soon, IMO.

Anderson Silva wanting to fight roy jones is some weird shyt to me. I mean, I'm a huge fan of Silva... I invoke this nikka when I'm in the gym the way southern baptist catch the holy spirit... But he needs to beat Chris.. then fight someone else he probably already has previously beat up since (GSP is scared and Jon Jones is my worst nightmare for Silva)... then sit the fukk down somewhere as the GOAT.

who? GSP? and what do you mean.

Yeah....GSP...once Silva takes a loss, he won't have to worry about him anymore.



Man...I'm going through withdrawal tonight...no MMA...no football(CFL :pacspit: )...no nba playoffs...and I don't have HBO so I can't watch GGG-Macklin tonight.


:manny: I guess I'll just try my best eating off of Ring of Honor.
