So, can we just give GSP the GOAT moniker now? I mean, come on now.
Oh, and Diaz failed a post-fight test for weed, which is irrelevant.

Anderson busted Rich Franklin up by rag dolling him in the clinch. He was not busted up before the clinch at all, it was in the clinch where he got busted up. I think your confusing the second fight with the first one.

1. for me to ragdoll someone is like DC to Hendo, or Rory to Diaz
2. for what can bee sen on the Video Franklin doesn't try to break the clinh until after the 5th or 6th knee to the body, by then he has probably lost some of his strenght specially on his upper body which he needs in order to break from the muay thai clinch. it's after several kneed to the body that Silva starts to "ragdoll" him, and Silva is taller than him so that gives him an advantage over Rich in the clinch.
I'm not saying this is proof of anything, I just don't agree with your evidence of Silva using PEDS since way before.
also Diaz won a lot of exchanges in the clinch against SIlva while Silva was using...so whats up with that? the power of ganja?

@Legacy
Well those of course looked more dominant, they were fighting guys literally a weight class below them, they also were going for take downs, not trying to clinch and knee. Also what would you call what Anderson did to Franklin then? Since Franklin clearly did not want to be in the clinch yet had almost no ability to get out.
Not sure what you are watching, but Franklin clearly trying to break out of the clinch right away. In fact he twice slipped two of Anderson attempt to get him in the clinch right before that. You can literally see Franklin flexing to try and break out. So I am not sure where you got the idea that Franklin was just sitting in his clinch not trying to get out, because he clearly was. He even started to just blocking attacks because he was having such trouble breaking out of the clinch. Anderson was completely dominating in the clinch and stopping Franlins attempts from escaping. Also Andersons one inch taller, it not like he had much of a height advantage at all.
Im not saying it concrete evidence, I am saying it sketchy that I guy who got physically dominated by a welter weight is then able to dominate a much larger and stronger middle weight in the clinch badly seems a bit off. Not to mention Franklin who studied lots of Anderson footage prior to the fight, thought he should have a sizable strength advantage, yet Franklin has gone on record saying he vastly underestimated how strong anderson was. That Anderson was overpowering him in the clinch which he was extremely surprised about. At the time I thought nothing of it, but it is fishy given the fact Anderson failed his first ever random drug test.

To answer your question about what I call What Silva is doing to Rich, I would call that control not ragdolling, but that's just me.
On the Newton fight what i see is Newton getting a TD and controlling the position I wouldn't say that he ragdoll silva, 1 minute later after they stand them up Newton gets blasted by Silva's knee. We all know that Anderson TDD is not great to say the least. so I'm not surprised that a strong WW wrestler can take him down once.
I don't think Nick's strengths are in the clinch, but he do likes it there though. even so my point of a PEDed Silva getting blasted in the clinch against a scrawny WW like Nick stands imo

Anderson Silva reportedly failed another UFC 183 drug test
Looks like the PED controversy isn't over yet for the Spider. According to MMA Junkie, Anderson Silva has failed an additional drug test related to his UFC 183 bout against Nick Diaz.
Silva initially failed his January 9 test, while he passed another pre-fight screening on January 19 for HGH and other performance enhancing drugs. Not much details were included in the report, including the date or substances he tested positive for.
Multiple sources close to the situation on Wednesday confirmed to MMAjunkie that Silva failed a second drug test in relation to UFC 183. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
The date of Silva’s second failed test is not yet known, and an open-records request made by MMAjunkie has not yet been answered by the state of Nevada.
Hector Lombard also failed a drug test for anabolic steroids. He, along with Silva and Diaz, will meet the commission on Feb 17 where they will likely be sanctioned for the failed tests.
