Kizer Warns Silva He Will Not Be Welcome In Vegas With A Repeat Of UFC 148 Antics
Quote:
By Jamie McAllister
Following Anderson Silva’s second round stoppage of Chael Sonnen at UFC 148 the Middleweight Champion has been receiving a lot of criticism.
At the start of the bout Silva was caught taking the Vaseline from his face and rubbing it on his chest and arms as well as being warned twice for grabbing Sonnen’s shorts. Also prior to the bout at the weigh-ins Silva struck Chael Sonnen with a shoulder strike.
It was a first for the UFC Middleweight Champion to act out this way and Executive Director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) Keith Kizer wants to ensure its the last. Kizer commented to MMA Fighting on the situation.
“I told him if you ever do anything like that again you will not be invited to fight in Nevada again…. if the next few Anderson Silva fights don’t happen in Nevada, it won’t bother me in the least.”
“Chael willing to forgive Anderson went a long way with me and the chairman,” he said. “He was very honorable, perhaps more than he needed to be, towards Anderson.”

Hey Kizer, stop worrying about the next Anderson Silva fight. Im sure all the other Commissions jump at the chance to host an Anderson Silva fight, maybe you should also stop playing favourites, suspending and banning certain people you dont like. Where is King Mo when you need him? and figure out how Bradley won the fight again Pacquaio. And actually background check the judges and actually question them. But you dont want something coming out that stains an already tainted NSAC dont you?

For the first time in my life, I can't find fault with a thing Keith Kizer has said there...and it surprises me to type that!
Very 'out-of-character' weekend for Silva.

The thing I have with this is how do we know it was not all an act to see PPVs? See this is far more worst that what Silva did IMO, I don't ever remember any action taken.

Anderson never went as far as to strike someone at the weigh-ins to sell a PPV before. But the vaseline is a sore spot I'm sure for the commission, I just found the behaviour (real or not) to be against the behaviour we've seen all these years from Silva, tis what I mean

That's true, but Silva is also unpredictable at times, Vitor was out of character, and I'm sure if he fights Munoz it will be heated also.

Why Munoz? Because he worked wrestling with the blackhouse guys for a little while?

Just to clarify because ive been reading reports of this on different sites and people have been getting the wrong idea. Basically Anderson is not now banned from fighting in Nevada, just that if he acts that way AGAIN, then he could be banned. And by act, they mean that shoulder strike during the weigh ins. For some reason only Kizer seems to pissed about that, Dana White knew stuff like that could happen, and just shrugged it off, because is the fight game, those things can happen, just mad at himself that it was virtually impossible to prevent. Sonnen himself didnt make a big deal and decided to not go any further and file legal action or something. So basically:
Dana White: Doesnet give a damn about the shoulder strike, says its part of the game.
Chael Sonnen: Doesent give a damn about the shoulder strike, says its part of the game.
Anderson Silva: Probably doesent care if he goes nuts again and isint allowed to fight in Nevada anymore.
Lorenzo Fertitta: Probably is counting all the money from the UFC 148 hype the shoulder strike created.
Keith Kizer: Gives a damn about the shoulder strike and is probably looking for attention.
Kizer seems to have two different stances (He likes it if its not on enough to be wiped off, but doesent like it if its on enough to be wiped off) on the alleged greasing, has no problem with the short holding and doesent see any cage grab attempt. Guy is a weird dude....
