Bisping really showed his heart and I wish we had seen this fight 5 years ago.

I think this fight would have gone a lot differently five years ago!

I feel like Silva still could have finished Bisping in this fight if he had been more aggressive. He stunned him a couple times but he just didnt seem like himself. Hats off to Bisping though I really never thought I would see him beat Silva.

@poir420 and @4whotsk



True, but Anderson also most likely would have been on PEDs, despite the fact most fans don't want to admit it, but they all deep down know it to be true.

I'm not even that big of an Anderson fan to be honest. But I mean sure he could of been on PED's his whole career but I tend to doubt it since he never failed besides that one against Diaz and his body shape has stayed the same his whole career.

But as rampant as it seems to be who really knows.

The FIRST TIME he was EVER  RANDOMLY TESTED he FAILED. So him never failing a previous test means pretty much jack ****, just that he smart enough to avoid a drug test he knows about in advanced. Also there a video of anderson closet from 7 years ago and he had HGH needles in it  (try explaining that one away).  So you can believe what you want, but evidence suggest he been using well before he got caught. Also you talk size right?  How about the fact Anderson use to be much smaller?  Go look up his fight with Newton, Anderson is noticeably smaller and weaker. Newton a friggin welter weight is over powering him. Yet by the time Anderson gets to the UFC he man handles Rich Franklin among other larger fighters with ease.........

Touch a nerve there? lol. You don't have anyway to prove he did or didn't during that time so who really knows.

Not at all, I was just trying to give you additional information so that you could come to a more educated conclusion.   Well you can hang on that argument if you like, however as already mention there is evidence to suggest he was using prior, you just choose to ignore it. Which is fine, I just think it a little silly of you. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, it most likely a duck.

Sounds like Silva's still having issues with his leg, both psychological and mental.

I'd say it's definitely a stretch and a logical fallacy called begging the question to claim because he got caught once he was doing it his whole career. I was as disappointed as anyone to hear he popped, but speculating on the past is pointless.

I just watched the Newton fight, I don't know maybe I'm missing something but his body doesn't seem that much different from now.

He smaller for sure and clearly not as strong. Newton is a blown up welter weight yet is rag dolling Anderson during huge portions of the fight, rich franklin would toss Newton around like a rag doll as would numerous Middle weights.  Anderson was larger and significantly stronger by the time he fought in the UFC compared to when he fought newton. Then there the fact he had HGH needles in his closet during the taping of one of UFC shows, why did Anderson have HGH needles in his closest?  Come on now.   Yes you can't say with 100% certainty that he used during the majority of his career, however there is evidence to support this stance.  Personally I think there more evidence to suggest he used during his career, then he did not. Not to mention when he did get caught, his defense was down right laughable and screamed that he was lying through his teeth.

Personally I dont think this rematch needs to happen though I would def enjoy it. I think a  rematch that needs to happen is carlos vs robbie.   I thought bisping won the majority of the fight against Anderson. Anderson biggest moment was landing a knee on a distracted Bisping. Out side that and the 5th round, the majority of the fight was bisping in my opinion.
