Too good. Anderson Silva is just too good. He has to fight GSP and JBJ just so we can see how he would do against the elite of the elite in those divisions.
I can't understand the butthurt. That was incredible to watch.
He is an MMA God - that was just flat out wizardry. He could have ended Stephan Bonnar (a notoriously tough fighter who took Jones to a decision) at any time of his choosing.
I don't think many of us expected Bonnar to win. But even the most cynical of fans would have to admit that no one could have seen Anderson taking him out with a single shot. Bonnar is built tough and has the resume to prove it. Anderson dropping him with a single blow is impressive.
Bonnars not a damn joke man, he had never been finished until now and Silva dropped him with one accurate shot.
Personally, I think it really doesn't matter whether we think Silva was intentionally disrespecting Bonnar or not. If he was, Bonnar had every opportunity there to hurt him and he couldn't, so he has to deal with that, he has to deal with the fact that if someone is that much better than you they can basically punk you and you can't do anything about it :/
Ah that is some vintage Anderson Silva right there!
Wish I could have seen this fight, but can't afford it these days. I really do appreciate this gif though, gives me a flavor for what happened.
I have come to expect a bit of showmanship from Anderson, and I love it. I know it rubs some people the wrong way, but I think when one is as good as Anderson is, one can play a bit of cat and mouse with one's opponent.
He really is the best I've ever seen. It's like everyone else moves in slow motion to him. I can only imagine what type of frustration must have been going through Bonnar's head tonight, but props to him for stepping up against The Spider.
Yeah it sucks alone that he's gonna beat your azz but he's going to clown you for crowd entertainment while doing so. That dude is a nightmare for anyone.
any gifs of the fight ending knee? it looked like it was at the chest but bonnars head flew up like it hit him in the chin.. also he ha a cut on his face that i didnt see during the fight.. also when he fell to the ground he was grabbing his face it seemed
He kneed him in the chest. Bonnar went down with gloves up to protect his face from punches/elbows. Silva hammered on him until the ref stopped it... likely where the cut came from...
were you watching on a 13 inch black and white tv?
But anyways, Anderson dropping his hands showed me personally something different. I had said earlier that his chin is suspect, because the only times he was challenged in strikes was in the first Sonnen fight when he was off. He was hurt a few times before being taken down. It's like he read my post, knew I liked Nick Diaz, and said "Fine then, no hands, just face, take that ClydeBlitz!".
No one beats AS! Greatest fighter ever to walk the planet. If you're hating the win, just stop and think that you just watched the best there ever was live in your living room. When you father said "Mike Tyson isnt shit against Rocky Marciano", you can reply "No one is shit against Anderson Silva".

Another vicious knee completely breaks his opponent. Best there ever was. Bonnar did what he could, and Anderson ended this fight in literally the only way anyone was going to be impressed. With one perfectly placed, and landed shot.
LOL at the Silva haters coming out in full force. This man is the greatest fighter of all time, without question, and you get to watch... not hear about it from your dad ten years after he's retired... but from the start to finish of his career.
As for being a "bully" give me a break. These men are professional fighters... they are in a cage with a goal to incapacitate their opponent... there are no "bullies" in this situation, just two men with the same goal.

Him beating up on a nobody doesn't make him any better. Bonnar has no KO power, wouldn't be able to submit Silva if he had his back with both hooks in, and has never beat anyone notable in his carrer. Give Silva a cookie for that win...
Give him JBJ... oh wait Silva has too much "respect" for him to fight him, so he'd rather fight a much smaller GSP.
Silva's chin has never been suspect. He doesnt even flinch when he gets hit. Honestly I don't he's ever been hurt (visable pain) besides that nasty heel hook.
He stumbled a little bit when hit by Sonnen on the feet. I mean it was basically math from his hits.
Amount of times hit = 4
Amount of times hurt = 4
His offence and defence is so amazing that he almost NEVER got hit, I was just suspect of how Sonnen, a guy who doesnt hit hard, hurt him on almost every punch. Sure Bonnar isnt a one punch KO guy, but Silva was taken them amazingly and asking for more, so he shut me the fk up in this fight lol.
Awesome card, but I never understood why people gave Bonnar much of a shot. I mean the guy comes to bang, but it isn't like he is anywhere even remotely close to the same level Silva is at.
I have no idea why people are hating on Silva for clowning Bonnar? Like really have you guys not been paying attention for the last six years? Remember Jorge,Forrest,Maia,Letis?
The man is just that damn good, I'm sure if any other fight can do that stuff they would. Why don't you hate on Dave Herman for smiling in there?

I have been paying attention for the last six years. He's the GOAT and he was expected to destroy Bonnar. Bonnar hasn't beat anybody notable in his entire career (please tell me who Bonnar has beat). Silva beat up on a can... that doesn't make for an exciting fight. It means Silva beat up a can.
That's not exciting.
