win or lose.. Hall needs to get a significant push early on... not the normal fighting shlubs on prelim cards that other TUF fighters get... he should really get at least mid tier consideration... dude is DEADLY
that was damn near anderson silva-esque... moving backwards, quickly planting his foot, and throwing a HEAVY straight in the span of a millisecond..
in other news... Josh Samman gives me douche chills..

Yeah, that flying knee to set up the counter was downright filthy, move of a true champion. Bubba was a vagina the whole episode anyways. I think he should felt his way into the fight not just leave himself open like that, that early on. He gave up the fight as soon as they touched gloves.
This guy Uriah is top 10 IMO.

Silva does that shit and wins with regularity. It's not so much being cocky, as much as it is a tactic to get his opponents to fight his game.. what typically happens, is he mocks his opponent, get's them into a headspace where they're pissed off and want to knock him the fuck out.. they throw heavy swings with evil intent... he counters and picks them apart
what he did with weidman is nothing compared to what he did to stefan bonnar
the difference with weidman, is he didn't fall for it... instead of headhunting, he kept his composure and strung combos.. genius on his part.. he was winging punches, throws a flicker right jab to get silva to move his head right into his left hook
there's going to be a ton of talk about how silva lost the fight... and i think it's all BS... he lost the fight because weidman won. plain and simple.. weidman was better
i'm a huge silva fan.. but respect where respect is due... weidman beat silva... silva didn't beat silva
i still wouldn't put a penny on weidman in a rematch... but i wouldn't be shocked if he won again... he's a beast.. look up his last fight vs mark munoz... munoz is a stud, and weidman made him look like an amateur

I mostly agree with your analysis. Weidman is a smarter Sonnen. Sonnen went off his game plan the first fight and lost. Still you knew it was only a matter of time where silva was going to get clipped and wasn't going to recover.
Silva should have put his hands up..it may be his game, not to and it works. But, it's only going to work at most 9/10 times..Last edited by LBF; Mon Jul 8, 2013, 02:37 PM.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?

When Silva was doing the fake stanky leg, Weidman made him do the real one damn that was funny.

seriously, once i realized Silva was REALLY out (even when he was on the ground.. it was like my brain couldn't be convinced he wasn't still fooling around).. i was in a state of shock for a few minutes... a friend who didnt watch the fights asked me what rogan and goldie were saying afterwards... and i was a complete blank, my brain shut off for a sec..
i'm a huge Silva fan, and still think he's the greatest ever... and even if he loses his next 5 fights, i'll still think he's the GOAT... but nothing but respect for Weidman... he's the only person to figure out the Silva puzzle and capitalize on it.

even if GSP beats and/or ties Silva's record... i'd never put him in the same category as Silva. GSP hasn't finished anybody in over 3 years.. and that was against BJ Penn, who's half his size... every other title defense he's had have been snoozefests where he takes a man down, actively transitions while pepper punching just so it doesnt get stood up.. and he coasts to decisions.. The only impressive decision in that span was against Koschek, who was too good for him to employ his regular lay and pray tactics
In that same period of time, Silva has DEMOLISHED Bonnar, Sonnen (2nd fight), Okami, Belfort, Griffin... had one of the most impressive comback wins against Sonnen (1st fight), and only one snoozer during that period, the Maia fight
in terms of records, ya... GSP might match or beat the streak... in terms of greatness, no fucking way
Jonny Bones Jones & Jose Aldo are the only champions i'd even consider being in Silva's rarefied air.

That's not GSP's game. He follows a very technical step-by-step game plan.
Does it make it "boring " or a "snooze fest"? Sure. But, he still dominates.
Silva doesn't respect his opponents and it caught up to him. GSP respects them and just follows his game plan and plays it safe.
It's essentially a foolproof plan.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?
