Silva vs. Weidman

This is the official discussion thread for Silva vs. Weidman. Let's see what you've got.

Again dude do you wanna try to make any kind of argument against what I said? Or do you just want to make childish personal attacks?
Either way is cool with me. Anyone can just call someone an idiot or a troll though. It actually takes a certain amount of intelligence to argue with someone.

Dude, they are OPINIONS!! No one can make you change your mind with a totally diff opinion when you get stubborn enough, so let's cut the slack aight?

@justynbomar Sigh. You want an argument, here's your argument.

"You can make all the excuses you want about him having broken ribs or whatever but the bottom line is Chael Sonnen went in there and dominated him thoroughly."

How could you actually say that without being biased? Anderson Silva's ribs were ******* broken. It's as simple as that. Chael Sonnen dominated him but choked in the 5th round because he isn't clutch. It's not a matter of using excuses, it's just a fact. Anderson Silva's broken ribs effected his ability to fight and it obviously showed because in the next fight, he decimated Sonnen.

"Even if you want to say the knee was legal he still held Sonnen's shorts more than any other fighter I have ever seen."

Even if you want to say the knee was legal. The knee was legal, there is no "even if" ****, it was legal. Don't see it? Try wiping the All-American cum from your eyes.

He did hold Sonnen's shorts a lot but how could that possibly help stop a takedown? Last time I checked, holding an Olympic-level wrestler's shorts won't do much to help stop the takedown.

And even if it did, I have every right to call you a ******' hypocrite now. You're talking about "all you Silva fans who make excuses" and then you're talking about how Anderson grabbing Sonnen's shorts twice was a huge gamechanger. (EDIT: I just watched the second round just to refresh my memory, Anderson Silva was grabbing the shorts to lift Sonnen up either for a takedown or to get out of the clinch and he held the shorts a second time to try and pull him closer for strikes. Illegal moves? Totally. Used to stop the takedown? Nope. By the way, Sonnen's first real shot of the second round gets stuffed THOROUGHLY.)

Well let me take a page out of your third-grade book and say this; You can make all the excuses you want but the bottom line is Anderson Silva went in there and dominated him thoroughly.

Hypocrite. Biased. Racist. Fatty.

In my opinion this is going to come down to whether or not Weidman can take the fight into the ground if not it's pretty much lights out for Weidman. =/

Here's the gif.
Even if you want to say the knee didn't hit Sonnen illegally his thigh clearly did which would be considered a kick which would be illegal.
I don't think you fully know what the work "hypocrite" means anik. Also you didn't elaborate at all as to how I am.
Where is the prof that his ribs were broken? How do we not know that they just didn't decide to put that out there just because Anderson had a piss poor performance? Just cause SIlva or is manager says "he had broken ribs" doesn't mean they do, but you being the sheep that you are just chose to believe it.
You like to talk about how I'm so biased but what about yours? You blindly and ignorantly hate on Dan Henderson all while trying to ***** at me about hating on Anderson SIlva. That makes you a hypocrite, and that's also what a hypocrite is because you clearly have no idea what it is. 

I´m going to jump right in just to say thatbroken ribs or not he beat Sonnen twice, yes TWICE and the first time Sonnen had elevated Testosterone so bad that he got suspended for a year, and you wanna talk about grabbing shorts?

 

yo CthulhuJones we still betting on this  ?

if Silva wanted to make the broken rib excuse, he would do it on the Maia fight.
Remember everybody hated him after that fight?
so he comes out and says his ribs were broken and nobody would fault him.

i will believe him until i have some indication that that was not right.

What's even the point to come out after a fight and say you were injured? Discredit what your opponent did in the fight? Make yourself look tough? I don't know I just don't get it. I'm not questioning if Silva was hurt or not. I think if he says he was then he probably was. Is that why Chael knocked him down a couple times and took him down repeatedly maybe, maybe not.

I wouldn't predict a decision for Weidman if I were you guys, I recognize Weidman's ground and pound and Jits skills but if he can't finish the fight I don't see him not getting knocked out for a full 5 rounds. Silva's camp recently said that Anderson from his back is the hunter, not the prey, and if Weidman can't finish him after 5 rounds his face will have several holes in it, even if Anderson spends the whole time on his back.

EDIT: I mean that I can see either fighter coming out of this with the belt, but I simply can't imagine how this could go to a decision.

I see a lot buying into the UFC hype machine. Silva should take this rather easily, actually... just like he has been handling wrestlers since joining the UFC. They may eventually get a takedown, then he neutralizes them on the ground and comes back for the kill in rd 2 or 3.

Unless something really different happened during this camp, this should be Silva's fight.

Anik and Justyn ... cool it. No need.

Why did you remove my post?

I'm doing nothing wrong and I'm sick of this racist running around trashing every successful Hispanic and Brazilian fighter. And if you're going to remove my post, why don't you remove all of the posts between me and bomar?

* Edited at 06.19.2013, 12:17 AM ET *

Am I going crazy or has Justyn's username changed?

I'm not about to go reading every historical post, but I do see that you're calling someone an idiot and a racist.  Steve said cool it and I took down the post.

So quit whining and move on.

He asked if he could change his name because he didn't want his real name as his username.  In that kind of situation we'll allow a one-time change.  We did the same for Brazilian Jitz.

He married Mr.OfOsiris

Oh ok.

Makes sense.

At least I'm not going insane. Always nice to know my fragile sanity isn't falling to pieces.

@Gregory I'm not insulting him, I'm making a clear observation. You took down a post that completely decimated all of his points, shame on you.

Anik.. clearly Justyn has a bias towards American fighters. Theres nothing racist about that. I look at his favorite fighters ranking, I can only see the top 3, but benson henderson is there, and he is half korean.

He also seems to like Werdum who is obviously Brazilian.


if you're going to call someone a racist, be ******* sure they are a racist. Nothing worse than being labelled a racist.
