Quoteworthy:
"Everyone's so scared of his length and his reach that they stay way the hell outside. They're idiots. That makes no sense. You have to be on the inside. You have to be a Mike Tyson-style boxer against him. He's too elusive to hit in the face. He just has too much movement. You have to work his body. You have to pick him apart. You have to out-point him.... He can't hurt you when you're inside because his punching power is from his length and he has to be outside to kick. You have to take Anderson Silva down and hold him down. You almost have to fight him like B.J. Penn fought Sean Sherk: Constant movement, peppering him with quick shots. It's not difficult to see how to beat Anderson Silva. What's difficult is putting yourself to the task and understanding that the game plan isn't going to be perfect, and when something bad happens, overcoming that bad thing. If you don't think you would win, why the hell are you showing up? Yeah, I think I could win."
Former UFC welterweight contender and current middleweight competitor Frank Trigg feels he would have the right style and gameplan to knock off UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva if the two ever locked horns. That scenario, however, will more than likely never happen unless "Twinkle Toes" can somehow work his way back inside the Octagon and in the good graces of UFC President Dana White and the rest of the Zuffa brass. It's also possible that he has no intentions of ever returning to the UFC -- he's been successful outside the promotion with his radio program, clothing line, appearances on TNA, broadcasting and fights for smaller promotions sandwiched between. In fact, he has a 185-pound fight against the dangerous Falaniko Vitali at Strikeforce: "Payback" this weekend in Denver, Colorado. He has won four of his last five fights, including victories over Jason Mayhem Miller, Kazuo Misaki and others.

haha!!! great strategy frank!!! but the gameplan is always a little easier to talk about than acually do.

personally id approach the fight similar to the way rashard evens did with chuck. get on your bike make silva come to you, good head movement, don’t let him set his feet and pick your shots.

Hmmmm….. I guess old Frank hasn’t noticed Silva destroying people in what can only be described as the best clinch in MMA…. i’d give him two minutes vs. Anderson… MAX.

I would have money on Trigg by UD. He could easily take Anderson down and hold him there. Simple.

Foamy, I agree and to add to that I believe fighters underestimate Silva’s strength and ability to adjust it for maximum leverage… Silva’s great from all areas, heee’s aaaa baaaaad man!

HALE UK: I really don’t think you want Silva coming forward at you, just ask Rich Franklin. He’s not solely a counter-puncher like Liddel is. I think one would have to take him down and ground-and-pound him and win by decision. I know , I know, not bloody likely but no method of beating him IS likely.

Actually I have been saying this ever since the Marquardt fight. Everyone stands from the outside and tries to box him, only Lutter did what he was suppose to but sadly was eaten alive by cardio.

Of course!!! you just do that and stay close and you’ll end up in his devastating Thai clinch followed up by a gazillion number of knees all over your body and face then you’ll end up on the floor thinking WTF this was supposed to be easy…
Haha man you could not even beat Huges and the idea that you can hung with Silva is just hilarious.

JspJitsu- Exactly what I was thinking. Andersons clinch took Rich Franklin out pretty quickly. Trigg would get his nose flattened with one of Silvas knees.

what is he talking about? Get in close with Silva and you get bombarded by sharp, fast pin point accurate knees…No thank you!
What does BJ’s gameplan against Sherk have to do with what he is talking about? Bj, Jabbed Sherk to death. To Jab means staying on the outside which is exactly what Trigg warned not to do. He is just an idiot!
by john on Oct 1, 2008 2:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That is what I was thinking, B.J. stayed outside of Sherks range and just threw jabs. Sherk has arms like a t-rex, so B.J. used his reach advantage. That is exactly the opposite of what he said to do against Silva. That being said, including Trigg, there is a total of 1 person who thinks Trigg could ever win that fight.

exactly trigg, you have to try to get inside his reach.
have you seen his clinch you bald idiot? what the hell do you think everyone tries to do? when they they try, he punches the hell out of you and keeps moving.
if it was easy to get inside him, it would have been done. trigg is just another washed up bum trying to get a fight.

O.K. the first thing that is going to happen when you get to close to him (Anderson) is he is going to clinch and then that is when u are really going to be in trouble. Rich Franklin already said it himself the dudes clinch is strong. and sometimes it is scary strong he is not going to lose until he fights someone who is going to be able to effectively dirty box in the clinch and take him down and avoid his subs like a young Randy at MW, or some one like Wanderlei.
that’s why he is going to be keeping the MW title for a long time cause there is not many people like that in the division.

I agree everyone who has said they now the wholes of anderson silva is crazy there isnt you just have to set him up for mistakes…which is very hard to do…Franklin,Hendo,Leben all tried to get inside and close the gap.Trigg is crazy….LUTEER GOT IN CLOSER THAN ANYONE HE WAS MOUNTING HIM AND STILL GOT SUBMITTED!!!!!!!!!!!!

About the Lutter fight. People forget that he needed surgery on both of his knees before the fight but he waited until after it. That is why he got out wrestled and almost beat in that fight. A rematch would likely be more one sided.
by EazyEismydad on Oct 1, 2008 9:59 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i didnt forget…it doesnt matter the fact that lutter came in very week in that fight and very dehydrated negates the fact that silva had surgery. silva at worst was at 85% effective and lutter was far worse. besides i dont see what you are trying to justify with your comment? im talking about how wrong trigg is aboutgetting inside and close to silva and then getting murdered there as well.

John: I think triggs comments (until he mentions BJ) are legit. I don’t like Trigg but he is basically giving the game plan that Lee Murray used against Silva.
Yes Lee lost on points but he faired much better than anybody else has recently.
Point is: Its a fair enough game plan but unless he has a very bad day Silva will still beat anyone.

ive said it before but the only way to beat silva is a prime tito ortiz type fighter who can take him down and pepper him with gnp.ortizs style was unique in that he could do as much damage in halfguard than he could in full mount.he didnt even have to posture up too much so theres little chance he could get caught in anything submission wise.but hey easier said than done.
by SCOTT on Oct 1, 2008 10:03 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Kind of what like hendo did in the first round.
by onthebutton on Oct 1, 2008 10:29 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Tito could do as much damage from FULL guard as he could from mount. Randy is the one who favors the half guard…. I do think your right, but Henderson should have been able to do that but couldnt. I honestly beleive that noone knows how to beat Silva YET. It will happen someday.
by belfort_fan on Oct 1, 2008 10:42 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think there is a lot of people who know how to beat him. but because he is so dangerous in every aspect of the game, it is easier said than done.

what about GSP??ive been wondering for awhile if they met in the middle for weight n gsp and silva fought who would win? GSP has the ability to take anyone down and control them there and hurt them at the same time. i think gsp would be the hardest fight for silva
by adam on Oct 1, 2008 10:13 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Agreed. If GSP could get through the danger zone and take Silva down, he could win the fight. GSP has spent plenty of time in BJJ black belts gaurds, and I don’t think Silva could submit him. It would probably be a boring fight, but IMO GSP is the only person that stands a chance.
by LJ on Oct 1, 2008 6:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That stands a chance, maybe but I would still give the nod to Silva. Anything GSP can do Silva can do better (except wrestle). GSP needs to beat Penn first before all this Silva-GSP talk begins.
by RedDog on Oct 1, 2008 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
And let’s not forget than Silva is a black belt in BJJ and submitted Dan Henderson – who’s a hell of a better wrestler than Frank Trigg.

Trigg seems to be forgetting about Silvas knees which have been a lot more effective then his kicks. Getting inside is a nice thought but Silva can still seperate with a muay thai clinch as he did to Franklin.
Not to mention that it is difficult to get inside in the first place.

Did he just contradict himself. “You have to be on the inside. You have to be a Mike Tyson-style boxer against him.”…then he says…“You almost have to fight him like B.J.

you guys should give trigg a little more respect. he has been around longer than most of you have been fans. he has a point, you can’t fight silva’s fight. you have to get inside and throw quick combination, to avoid getting caught in the clinch you couldn’t stay inside too long and would have to constantly keep moving, “peppering” with quick combos as trigg put it. on the outside you would have to stay outside his jab constantly moving, kinda how b.j. did agaist sherk. difference being b.j. used it to stand and out box sherk, trying to avoiding the takedowns.

put your money where your mouth is, trigg. put up or shut up. you look just like leben and lutter and all these other idiots who got whooped by silva after they talked about how easy they would beat him, and how glaring his holes were.
you talk the talk, but you don’t walk the walk. you fight MW’s that don’t matter, yet you keep talking about your great master plan to beat the greatest fighter alive. you would get whomped by anderson quicker than leben.

I think Henderson can beat Silva if Henderson does what he did in the first round against Silva and get on the inside with punches as he did and take Silva down like he did, but avoid getting submitted like Henderson did in the second round.

i think the post regarding tito is a really good one, point being silva’s only real weakness to date has prob been his takedown def, and that is tito’s game!
If tito can avoid a knee or strikes in the way in then he would stand a great chance against the spider, I say get it happening!
plus it would be a legit fight for anderson at 205, and could tito back on the map. This would be agood fight for ufc 93 in ireland, cmon dana get it on!
Plus if tito cant execute his gameplan we get to see another cruel KO from the spider, makes sense to me!!!

Mcwop said it right….If and when Silva ever loses….it will be on the ground…. Rousimar Palhares is that guy….if he works on his takedowns and can get some boxing skills together, hes gonna be a beast at 185….

silva looks just about unbeatable atm
trigg is an idiot
would love to see andersson who is a true 195er (between 185 and 205)
against a guy who is a true 170 and has been KTFO by robbie lawler
couple of things that could be tried against the spider
do what hendo did in the first round for 5 rounds without getting hit much or submitted and steal a decision… far from preferable as 25 mins in a cage with this animal is the last thing you want
another style id love to see is a bigger version of BJ with better cardio… which doesnt seem to be around
rousamar palhares and possibly lutter have the BJJ, lutter lacks the cardio… palhares would be interesting, but his standup may need to improve dramatically
other dude id love to see is wanderlei… a guy with true KO power who can take a punch and is fearless… couldnt see silva vs silva making it out of the first round would be an awesome fight

maybe he should have had a plan when lawler knocked his ass out

I have a problem with his comments as well. I think Rich Franklin thought that the clinch game was a good idea… and none has tried it since. Check out the pic of R. Franklin after the fight and find out why!

haha ya whatever frank…cuz we all know that when your riding a two fight win streak against non contenders and get your ass knocked out by a mid level fighter like robbie lawler that you can definitely beat the pound for pound king…gahhd i hate arrogant and overconfident fighters..

Frank Trigg is an idiot. He also said that “Tank Abbot was going to beat Kimbo Slice because Tank is a true MMA guy unlike Kimbo.” Since then, I put no weight into what Frank Trigg predicts.

Honestly in my opinion the perfect game plan to beat Silva is to hit him square in the jaw with the hardest punch you can possibly throw. I honestly don’t see why people don’t try it more often. Every time I see someone do this they get a knockout but fight after fight I see people not hitting the other guy square in the jaw. We already saw that that strategy worked for Evans vs Chuck and now someone just needs to try it on Anderson and I’m fairly certain it will work.

“He can’t hurt you when you’re inside because his punching power is from his length and he has to be outside to kick.”
Um.. did this guy see the 2 Rich Franklin fights?? He can’t hurt you on the inside?? _
