What is GSP thinking right now, I wonder

[mc4chess]

Silva is a joke jesus, no respect for him no matter "how good he is"

[TalkingDonkey]

It's like Anderson sucks us in with fights like Franklin, Marquardt, Griffin, Irvin then drops turds on us like this one, Leites, and Cote

That he is going to put Anderson on his back where he can't run around and taunt him.

He wants to put on a good show with his antics as opposed to exciting KOs imo. Plus, the 2nd group of guys (Leites, Cote and Maia) fought more disciplined fights than the first group and since all Anderson does is counter those made for the more exciting finishes.

What a bizarre fight.

You won't find a bigger GSP fanboy than me, but Silva's range will make this a very difficult task.

Did Matt ****ing Hughes just beat someone with muay thai?

Jesus, I hate Anderson Silva

I don't want to hear an ounce of 'omg you don't understand what you're watching'.

That **** was boring as hell. Anderson is 20 times as talented as Maia and would rather dance around him than actually finish him. Total bitch fight. Unless it comes out he had the martian death flu, there's zero excuse for that. He was afraid Maia was gonna catch him on the way in? Marquardt KO'd his ass in under a minute. Maia couldn't hurt him in any conceivable way standing, and Silva just refused to take the fight to him. Maia is reduced to wading in and throwing silly looking punches. AND EVEN WHEN HE DID, ANDERSON STILL REFUSED TO ACTUALLY HIT HIM. If you watch the fight, there are at least 10-15 times when Maia comes in, Anderson dodges and then runs away instead of countering when Maia is WIDE OPEN. Anderson could have beaten the **** out of Maia and for whatever reason chose not to. He turned down so many opportunities to hit him in favor of dancing, running and head bobbing him to death.

Christ. When you're 20 times as talented as somebody, it's just embarrassing to have a fight like that. He didn't even try to finish him. He had zero interesting in doing anything but the bare minimum of what would win the fight. Don't let him hit me, leg kick and jab him a bit, and then who cares what else happens.

Also, did the Edgar/Penn fight really happen? Really?

[TheUntouchable]

I just watched both fights. I thought Edgar won the fight, but I didn't score it round-by-round. It was certainly closer than the Sherdog play-by-play made it seem. I wouldn't have complained regardless of who won.

And yeah, Silva obviously could have finished that fight at any moment. I'm not sure what he was trying to do. He shouldn't be allowed to fight at 185 anymore though. I'd like to see him try that **** against Jon Jones.
