@grizzled My response is basically everything @dielegende said
If it has absolutely no effect on you then why come into a thread and waste your time hating on people who do that?  I've never heard of anyone going that far...but I'm sure people do say **** like that.  Anyways, it just seemed like kind of a low thing to say after what happened, because it was a terrible ending (possibly) to an incredible career.  And even though it doesn't directly affect any of our lives it's still sad.

@dielegende23 Me weirdo because I think rationally, no, don't think so.

You've never been on Sherdog, have you?

You need to see the type of threads those kids made on there when Fedor lost. It really made it come across that way.

Even though I chose Anderson, I really just wanted a decisive finish. Sadly, we couldn't even get that.

@FresnoMMA aha and I, myself, admitted it was sad.

You obviously didn't read my post entirely and just jumped at me obviously though.

I never said it wasn't sad, because it most definitely is. I just said that some people's reactions to it was hilariously pathetic.

Not personally a big fan of Anderson, but I hate to see that happen to anyone. It sucks for everyone that the fight ended that way. Goodbye GOAT. :(

My sentiment exactly.


I guess it's time for the new guard of fighters in each division to emerge now next year.


The old guard has definitely been passed by or either retired.

@Grizz- Especially since Browne beat Barnett tonight, it kind seemed that way. Just like in every sport, legends go away, but will as be remembered.

Darn. I would've rather seen Anderson bloody, broken nose and busted mouth and all, but never with a broken leg.

Same thing could go for everyone else: Weidman, Rousey, Tate, Barnett, Browne etc.

Good grief.

Hopefully Anderson can make a "clean break" from the fight game and not lose control like Mayhem.


I'm reaching..but I wanted to play too.
