he wants to fight RJJ really bad. Mark my words guys, Dana White will make that happen, not because he wants to or even thinks silva can win, but because he wants/needs arguably his best fighter to stay in the UFC!

Not really big news….

Like I said in the other thread, I hope its just to refine his hands! I hope Anderson’s not still thinking about getting into boxing! One good thing is that theres no mega fight for him anymore!

all the middlweights just turned in their resignation papers to the UFC, the ones that didnt, jsut asked the UFC brass if they can drop DOWN in weight.

haha…

Off topic but Machida endorsing some Lugz tennis shoes, that explains his incredible running speed.. Sorry it’s just too good.. lol

nice! hey, o damn….. let me be the first to say, my comment regaurding sylvia yesterday, sorry dude!!! i looked like a fool leaving a comment like that! i was really, really f*ckin hungover. i read it later and was like, “what was i thinking”. i just wasnt all there! i still hate sylvia though…

lol you were all over the mistake. as i wrote yesterday, i got caught!

All due respect to A. Silva, but let’s see him bash his way through the 205’s before we declare him the best of all time. He clearly is the best middle weight of all time, and other than maybe another go with Dan Henderson, I really have no interest in seeing him fight at this class anymore. But there are still plenty of 205ers who I think would not only give him a run, but would have a greater than 50% chance of beating him.

If he proves me wrong and can walk through the 205’s and on to the title, then there will be no question, but let’s see how he does against guys like W. Silva first.

If he chooses to leave the sport now though, which would be obviously premature, than it will ALWAYS be in question and I would even go so far as to question his heart.

Somehow, I don’t think A. Silva is dumb enough to walk away at this point, so I am betting this is all posturing for something.

nice! more mma guys should take their boxing seriously.. the boxing skills that most of the MMA fighters have are horrible and what Anderson is doing now is great! maybe Chuck Liddell should go and try to improve his horrible boxing skills..

Anderson Silva’s Boxing striking can definately get better his style is kick boxing. Can’t wait to see the improvement. Chuck is fucked :)

Damn, this is good for MMA. Boxing fans know how legendary of a trainer Freddie is and how many champs he has trained. Bringing legendary boxing coaches into MMA is only going to help the standup get on par with K-1 and pro-Boxing.

doesnt he train the pitbull aswell?? Chuck liddell is “fucked” are you serious? Just because he doesnt have a traditional boxing style of striking doesnt make him poor at it!! In actual fact liddell is one of the best strikers in the ufc, its only because he has losta couple that he is being criticised, thats “fucked” UP!!
Anerson has a very unique style of striking which makes it difficult to train for and prepare for as does chuck, i can see it now if anderson loses a couple of fights one day……anderson’s styles are old he hasny evolved…. fuck of and shut up, everyone gets beat its the nature of the sport!!

I love this. Anderson with better hands? Scary.

RoB is that all you can say “you shouldnt be allowed to comment on this”?? chuck IS one of the best strikers in the UFC, what I mean is when he is counter striking, striking isnt just aggressive strikers you know!! Who is better at counter striking then than chuck??

I never said chuck’s boxing was good, this isnt boxing its MMA? I said his striking was good, and you only have to look at his highlight real to see what i mean, i dont need your approval to see im right, you just need to realise that your WRONG!!!!! (plus iv never once said his defence was ggod, once again thats NOT striking!!)

Anderson does have a unique style in that unique means, individual,personal,special,different, all of which are traits of anderson’s style of striking, who else strikes like anderson?? And well done it is a good style!! I never once said it wasnt, I take it when anderson loses a couple he will no longer be a good striker?? IDIOT!!!!!!!!

i want to see anderson silva vs. manny pacquiao in a boxing match… :D

Some guys just dont know when to “QUIT” they get into money hurts and dont mind a bruising.

Roy Jones, Loya, these guys have seen their best and thats been some years ago, too many youngsters with talent and heart and packing the punch and can take it too.

They need to stay retired for their families sake.

This new kid with all the weight he is just another fellow fm florida who not only looks like he is “Homeless” but shouldnt even be in their with these other pro’s if they win they are overnite stars, they havent earned it. Nor have they paid their dues.

Starting frm Gracies to shamrocks and on and on, these guys should never be put against some nobody, cause they should all have to have a real pro record and for so many years not in the streets, cause the streets are different, I know I have been security or a bouncer and in the arts for longer han most have been around. Yea, I am old, but experience or wisdom tells me that sharocks, lidell, and a few others should stay in the ring and leaqve the street fighters on their on their own league. MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts, and not street the other guys are just street tough, and most have no MMA tng so get their own group started and let them fight other street fighters.

pacman is a hell of a fighter!
