Silva was injured before that first Chael bout plus he did not take him seriously Silva literally clowns with every one but at least has BJJ that enabled him to slap on that triangle arm bar at the very end plus he is NOT a weak person even though people think he is because he looks like a bean pole

He is insanely strong for what he looks for sure

I insist you do. This is what this thread is about.

Just so I understand your elementary thought process:

Did the carb depletion ruin the intimidation factor mentioned in this unsportsmanlike, braggart thread?

Never been to Myrtle Beach fuckface. Never been to either of the Carolinas.

But I spend a lot of time in Florida.

And I have a lot of spare time when I'm there.

Just read he called Dana White to fight Jon Jones this morning.

Really!?!

If that's true, it will be the biggest super fight seen in the history of the UFC.

Bullshit! I'd be really surprised if Silva is willing to fight an opponent closer to his size who isn't a b/c level fighter. Silva is very comfortable being a very large fish among minnows in the middle weight division.

Joe, those statements from Dana are too ambiguous in nature. He said Silva called and wants "the fight" tonight, but left it at a cliff hanger regarding who.

No, it doesn't have to be Jones. Anderson Silva used to fight at 168 pounds while in Pride. He can very easily fight at that lower weight if so desired and he also knows that a victory against GSP would come much easier than a victory against Jones.

That said, as an avid fan of Silva, I would prefer a fight against Jones. First, it would be the biggest fight in MMA history. You would have two undisputed champions finally meeting up to find out who the real king of all MMA is. Second, it would be the biggest pay per view event in UFC history, so Dana is probably ovulating as they speak about the potential.

I have a strong feeling that if this fight happens, it will go down at the end of the year.

Silva will truck right through Weidman and then they will give him a full 5-6 months to get ready for Jones. Likewise, Jones won't be able to start training for that fight for another month and a half or so (for that fracture to heal up). That way, they will both get the same amount of time to train for the match and will bring the UFC the biggest draw in all sports for the end of the year.

That's my take..

P.S. If both Jones and Silva agree to that fight, I can see them both walking away with millions just for saying yes to it.

I did read it and I also see your point. Maybe I am being overly skeptical. Silva has never really fought an opponent like Jones and has never shown an inclination to accept a challenge as great as this one would be. Hes been comfortable being dominant in an extremely weak division for a very long time. As a fan, I hope he fights Jones over GSP. GSP/Silva makes no sense.

bigmc · « **Reply #69 on:** April 28, 2013, 01:40:58 PM »

i didnt realise silva had cut that low before

be difficult at his age

but to be fair i think gsp vs silva is a better fight

i think jones is unbeatable

whereas gsp vs silva can go either way

You think he is scared to fight someone like Jones?

You've heard of guys like Yushin Okami, Vitor Belfort, Forest Griffin, Dan Henderson, Rich Franklin and Nate Marquardt right?

All of those guys are killers. Those are guys that also go up in weight or have come down in weight to take on Anderson and have all lost to him.

The man is a master in so many arts (has like 4 black belts in different styles and is a professional boxer) and walks around at 230-240 pounds in the off season. While I understand that Jones is a machine, Anderson is a freaking killer.

Before anything else though, what all of these guys (Silva, Jones & GSP) have in common is that they are businessmen first and fighters second.

Just like Jones rejected the first fight against Chael, even though he annihilated him yesterday, it isn't surprising if neither guys want to fight each other from a financial standpoint.

Their reputations bring in way more money then their UFC contracts give out and a loss for any of them translates into a thinner wallet and less long term prospects.

It is not about what is easier that Anderson is concerned about, it is about what is more rewarding and a fight with GSP is a no win situation and extremely risky. Not risky that he might lose, it is not that cause he more then likely would win but the small margin of possibility that he will lose and if so that would completely destroy his legacy.

And a win would not do much cause people will just say - Oh GSP is just a smaller opponent and will not see it as a significant feat.

Fighting Jones is risky in terms of losing but if he loses he looses nothing (but his winning streak) and if he wins he becomes truly THE GOAT,... At least that will be public perception.
