Lol Martini is such a Silva homer is scary.... Silva was always a great fighter, but you are gonna claim he is so great yet he got knocked the fuck out clowning around? By a shitty left hook.... he fought Weidman twice and never hurt Weidman one time.
Actually, I'm not a fan of Anderson Silva. I think is show boating is absurd while during a match and he makes MMA look clown school WWE at times. But the fact remains he is the greatest fighter of all time. I'm just not sold on Weidman nor either of his tainted victories over Silva. Silva beat himself in the first fight and a well placed check ruined his career in the second. Hardly impressive coupled with a fight record with previous opponents that are more along the lines of mediocre instead of actual challenge outside of Silva.
He got knocked out like a bitch in the 1st fight, got rocked in the 2nd fight and then broke his leg.... and you describe this scenario as though somehow he gifted this all to Weidman. Fuck off.... you sound like one of those Packer fans going "We didn't lose, we beat ourselves"
He was also in control of the first round while on his back, knowing that Weidman was gonna throw strikes and didn't release a leg triangle. He had Weidman working for strikes using up energy while Silva cherry picked his strikes whenever he wanted. Seriously, Silva has two decades of training defense while on his back. If he was in trouble, he could have gotten up any time he wanted. But, as the round ran out, it was Weidman who couldn't escape Silva triangle, and he made plenty of effort trying to. What does that say? Or are we still just going off eye perception instead of technique and say just because Weidman was in the dominant position he was that much better then Silva? I mean, who was bleeding when the round ended, and who looked fresh? The answer to the first was Weidman, while Silva is the answer to the later. Like I said, Weidman won the round, but not by much.
If he is as great as the Silva homers say then clowning or not he wouldn't have gotten put to sleep and from Silva's own mouth he claimed he was taking Weidman seriously in the 2nd fight and he gets rocked from the clinch with a shitty punch to the ear... lol go jerk off to his knockout highlights some more, he couldn't beat Weidman.... he will never beat Weidman.... thats gonna bug you aint it?
I have watched a serious Anderson Silva. What I saw was a guy going thru the motions. The same Anderson Silva who coasted the last two years. Silva breaking his leg was the best thing to happen to him because no matter who he has fighting, he was gonna lose. Weidman was just the right guy at the opportune time to take advantage of the decline of Anderson Silva's heart in MMA. If it was Belfort, he would have the title right now. That's how it works. Weidman can be the golden boy, he just better soak it in now because the first actual challenger he gets, he will get beaten.
13-3!!!
