There are two seperate fights going on when you watch a match especially with Anderson in it. The physical one, and the mental one. Anderson does all those things to completely break down his opponents confidence and abandon whatever they need to do too win. It can come off as cocky, but no one else is capable of doing what he does that well. Therefore judging him for using that incredible skill is what is called sour grapes.

lol they probably thought it was a lucky shot that ended it too.. i remember watching the Silva vs. Vitor fight in a bar and all i could hear was murmurs of it being a lucky shot and how he meant to kick him in the chest..

on a side note, its mostly uneducated fans that think his antics are disrespectful and purely showboating.. women a lot of the time too talk about how they cant stand to watch A.Silva fight because he plays with his food.. they just don't understand

Its not because he is beter its because he dance around and tauts fighter in the ring. I have no problem with him beig beter

For inctace maciano and Ali were head and sholders better than the other boxer Ali made his opponents look silly disrespected them tauting and bullying them rocky came in and took care of buisness.

except Ali used his taunting as strategy, that's what you don't get. Silva tricks people into playing the Anderson Silva game by giving them hope, when that happens they lose their entire gameplan. That's what's going on, you think he does it to be mean. Marciano had a different style, as did Tyson. George Foreman didn't say "oh that Ali, what a dick for letting me hit him then tricking me" no, he got beat fair and square.

yea yea. im not hating, im simply stating my opinion. i never said he wasnt the greatest fighter, i dont care for how cocky he has become, justified or not, be a little more humble about it. u stand in front of someone with your hands down and its bound to catch up with u, doesnt take but once to be unlucky, having no respect for another fighter just looks ridiculous, i dont give a **** how good you are, it shows some carelessness on his behalf. as a fighter, i love his style, theres not much u can complain about it... he was one of my favorites before he acted like he had to start proving he could clown people... we know that.

lmao, stuck in my parents basement. how old are you, and whats your career? no i dont really care.

What's the deal with all the butthurt over Silva proving he is the best fighter on the planet, again? Silva puts his hands down and moves, or just eats whatever he is hit with, for one simple reason, it forces his opponent to become confident in playing Silva's game. Hell, the only way Bonnar had any chance in the fight is if he could grind Silva against the cage. So..., Silva stood against the cage and let Bonnar try that. After a couple minutes or so, you could just tell Bonnar broke. He was implementing his best gameplan, Silva let him implement it, and it wasn't working. Bonnar broke mentally and spiritually. Went to plan B, which was hit and hope. By making Bonnar resort to plan B, Silva got the fight to his plan A, striking. Silva is a master technician. He is a tactical genius. It's not his damn fault he is that good. So..., if you are gonna be butthurt towards anybody, be butthurt towards..., God..., or whatever higher power that had the audacity to create a human being that is so f***ing much better than everybody else.

Silva deserves to be Knocked The **** Out. I can't stand him. He is soooo good and greatest ever, well then fight Jones. No, he wants to pick on a smaller guy that hast fought in years. What a joke.

You're a joke. He is the best of all time. He doesn't have to go fight a guy who could quite easily fight at heavyweight to prove he is the best. He wants to fight GSP because that's who he's wanted to fight for years and GSP is closer to his size than he is to Jones.

GSP walking around weight: 190 to 195
Anderson walking around weight: 202
Jones walking around weight: 230 to 240

So for Anderson to be the best Jones has to pick on a smaller guy coming towards the end of his career?

Yep, because he's so good. He's the greatest. He looks likes he's 27 out there. In the end GSP is still smaller and coming off a huge layoff. That fight makes NO SENSE. Jones makes much more sense. The Anderson nuthuggers just don't want to see him lose. That's all. Joker.
