Unfortunately, I won't be doing pbp (for the few that enjoy it). I think this is a decent card but only worth buying because of Anderson. If you can, check out Edwin Barboza on the prelims.

Yep, i got that too and i quickly went to, i think he lost the desire to fight and that had nothing to do with him being knocked out like that!

I just never seen someone say, naw i dont want a rematch after the first fight. Maybe after 2-3 fights, but NEVER EVER the first defeat.'

Just as i thought, Even Rogan just said, he got to the point where he didnt want to do it anymore.

Maybe some pressure off but he didn't throw that fight. His eyes rolled and knees buckled.

I think the argument is, he put himself in the position to be knocked out.

And, when you think about it that way, you realize how absurd that argument is. It's against human nature to simply allow yourself to get knocked out. Was he moronically lax in his approach? Certainly. But you can't push your chin into a fist... just doesn't happen.

These guys always talk about quitting after a big loss. There will be a rematch in 4 months. Watch.

He was beaten by someone who is better than him.

who? i been watching combat sports since i was a kid in the early 80's. I never seen it in boxing only after someone got defeated twice. NEver the first time like that. EVER.

Not from someone that was a Legend. NEVEr.

Not saying he didnt get rocked, he did, but i dont think he gave it anything close to his all.

Silva never gives it his all... dont you get it?

He fought this fight the same way he's fought every other fight and he lost. Move on.

I knew I should I have put money down on Weidman. Dude is the next great champion. At first I was really questioning his decision not to keep taking Anderson down, but it's obvious he knew that Silva was going to keep taunting him and it was a matter of time before he caught him.

And no offense to anyone, I love all you guys, but Silva most certainly was not trying to throw the fight. That's a really stupid thing to say.

People don't throw fights by letting the other guy knock them the **** out, they throw fights by letting themselves get submitted and then tapping. If Silva was going to throw the fight, he had the perfect opportunity when Weidman was going for that ankle lock which transitioned to a knee bar in the 1st.

Silva was playing the classic sore loser tactic by acting like losing to Weidman was no big deal and he didn't really care and he doesn't even want a rematch. You don't become the greatest MMA champion of all time with that type of mindset.

All in all, this was a great ****ing card to watch.

This will be down in T-minus ten minutes, but here's the original call. Look at the insanity of the last couple seconds..

I seen him do stupid shit, but then get serious about it, but this time it seemed like he was overdoing it a bit, then everyone saying, this is what he does!

That interview after words just left me like huh? what? lol
