Anderson’s steroid use is just one of those things you’re not allowed to talk about without someone getting immediately defensive about it. Up there with Bruce Lee’s death and Steve Austin beating his girlfriend

Both guys striking looked pretty basic in that fight tbh. This division needs a few new contenders. There’s such a gap between to top 3 and the rest

Seems like it lol. I don't blame Silva at over 40 to get some PEDs to heal his broken leg nor am I implying that he use3d steroids during his time as champion (though most fighters did back then).
I'm just saying UFC as a big corp is going to be concerned with optics and you don't induct a fighter fresh off a failed test.

AS only got caught using steroids bc of his injury. if he was on juice? ofc, everybody was at the time, but the one that he was accused of was bc of his injury. his whole judgment by NSAC was dog****, but he's a legend, best MW ever and top 3 all time great

Imagine Dana would've told Anderson Silva to move up and fight Forrest Griffin when Griffin was the champ..... Anderson would've been the first double champ.

it’s nothing to do with ped use. They don’t care about that and it was a very long time ago. I don’t think anyone really sees him as a steroid cheat

Sal D'Amato, Chris Lee and a lot of the habitual Nevada coaches are really bad. But these European Cards and Abu Dhabi judges always come up with crazy scorecards and controversial decisions. The problem is not that they are the same judges as always, the issue is that the MMA judges union in general is garbage “making” his “work”.

Sirspudgreg    There are a few solid middleweights coming up the ranks though. It just takes some time for them to catch up.

SiunsixI agree with that though.

There's also the "cribs-like" show where he showed his home and had a PED masking agent in his closet that was caught on camera. But I agree with your points for sure.

Not confident in my pick on this fight. Casey is a real prospect, but Maia is a live dog. I expect a close decision here.

Dude, you can’t judge a very close fight on the spot. It’s impossible. One guy had to watch Volkanovski vs Holloway 2 ten plus times just to conclude that Volk indeed won the fight. One of my favorite fights is Zabit Magomedsharipov vs Kyle Bochnicak, which I’ve watched around eight times, andeven Ican’t tell you everything that happened in that fight. I can give highlights in my head, but I couldn’t tell you statistics for the life of me, I just know Zabit won based on those highlights. 

Your memory is not reliable, it rarely displays the full picture, it only shows you what you perceive, which will always be inherently biased.

These kind of judges should be publicly shamed and humiliated. It's hard to believe this fool has been judging for more than 10 years.
