The Fedor fans and Canadians will hate even when there's a k.o involved, but that's to be expected. I think when Silva said he would make a statement in the pre fight interview he meant exactly what you saw.
It's obvious he had full control of that fight and could have given fans the ending they wanted to see , but not this time....Something's going on.
1. He's seems pretty insulted when challenged by fellow Brazillians, perhaps he's sending a message to his country men that if you challenge his reign you will be humiliated....(need I pull Lietes gif's up ?)
2. Maybe it was a message to Wand. I believe Maia trains with Wand and we all know how pissed The Spider was when he found out Wand was moving to MW. Look at the Wand tribute video put together by Brazillian fighters Anderson has this fake grin on his face like he's rather not be bothered with it.
3. No Super fights - Since The Spider's rise to the top ranks he's made it clear that he wants to fight the best yet Dana seems to keep stalling him out and while Vitor may have been acceptable he made it clear that he didn't think Vitor earned a title shot.
Once he accepted the fight Vitor pulled the injury card and The Spider was again forced to fight a lackluster opponent.
Don't forget Anderson wants to retire with a bang and somehow Dana convinced him to extend his contract and I'm almost sure Anderson made it clear he was in it for big fights until his demise as p4p king.
I'd be pissed too.
4. GSP at 170 - I'm sure Anderson took issue with the fact that Dana would allow a fight with GSP at 170 but not at 185. I'd be insulted and take it as they value one champ over another for reasons other than skill because Anderson is the most entertaining fighter in the sport right now while GSP is rarely finishing mediocre opponents when he tries too.
I pick all of the above. Plus I'll add the fact that Dana is threatening to force Anderson to fight Machida while protecting GSP.
What good is being the best in the sport when you don't get the opportunity to prove it ?
Anderson vs GSP should have already happened at 185 or a 177 catch weight.
Think about it Dana already ****ed off a fight with RJJ considering the loss to B-Hop, Frank Mir via Shane hamhock Carwin, and GSP has to happen at 170 if it's going to happen at all.......all so Dana can grow his business while this dude is trying to plan his retirement. People say he should just fight who the UFC gives him but then when he k.o's them he gets no credit for because they were overrated in the first place.
Look at how long it took Dana to make Chuck vs Wand. They had both completely lost it by the time they got in the cage together.
Fedor says he won't sign up because The Ufc doesn't treat fighters like humans.
Dan Henderson is gone because they wouldn't pay him accordingly yet they promise Bisping a title shot if he beat Dan but Dan got no such luck they just let him go. We all know if it weren't for The Spider Hendo or Frankilin would be MW champ right now.
Rampage also had his issues with the UFC and all these guys above are legendary and critical to to current state of the sport.
Anderson Silva, Rampage, Dan Henderson, Fedor.
For that matter why do you think the Diaz bros. are always pissed off ?
I'd go as far as to say B.J showed up with the same amount of respect for the event and the organization as Silva did.
Fedor wants to compete in Sambo, Gsp wanted to wrestle for the olympic team, Rampage wanted to act, Silva wanted to box a legend. All of these request were scoffed at by Dana and that's why Brock vs Fedor will never happen.
Anderson made a big statement yesterday (2pac style) and I applaud him. Brutality is one thing putting fighters in the cage that lack the sufficient tools to be in there with their opponents is disgusting and disappointing to the fans.
