Forrest Griffin war wagon pulls into Philadelphia for Anderson Silva UFC 101 fight

Im Brazilian and even I have to agree with you. Silva is getting a bit too cocky nowadays. he didn’t use to be like this.

lol . . . what is it that he has done thats so cocky, sounded to me like a guy gauranteed a forrest win (a guy that was supposd to train with silva) and Ano is taking it personaly . . . what are you talking about . . . and now it means Ando is gonna bring it, isnt that what you want in an Ando fight???? Guess not, rather havehim not care and just dance for 25 huh, figure it out.

He’s finally realizing he’s the best ever. And with this win he’ll be greater than Fedor as he will have been a top 5 fighter across 3 weight divisions over course of his career.

Here is what Anderson said recently:

    "Personally I am in a constant transformation, improving my technique and game constantly. I told Dana White I’m training to face the best guys, to make big fights, whoever it may be. I study my work and I don’t do anything at random… I see my fights every day and try to get better in all skills. I don’t worry about the outcomes, winning or money. I just thing on getting out of there the same way I came in, that is, in one piece with no injuries. And trying to keep myself so means I do not always get the knockout, that is something that just happens during the course of some of my fights.

    I try to win through the mistakes of my opponents. It’s not interesting for me to expose myself and run unnecessary risks. I’m getting old and since I started fighting I never had a scratch or my face broken. Anyone who knows about fighting can see what I mean."

On Team Black House and Lyoto Machida:

    “God forgive me for saying it, but we’re years ahead of some fighters. We can also make mistakes of course. When we study our performances we see them, however it doesn’t always appear to the untrained eye.”

sorry but Anderson isnt going to lose this fight!

i cant believe that there are Haters in this world that hate on Greatness like Anderson and Fedor. Regardless of their actions or what comes out of their mouths, how can people root against those guys? I just dont get it!

Silly Truck! Ufc 101: “THe slaughter of the posterboy”!!!!!!!

I guess you could argue that beating Forrest makes him a top-5 LHW, but it’s a tough sell. It’s only his second fight at this weight and Irvin isn’t even top-15. Anderson definitely IS a top-5 LHW in my mind, in the sense that he could, IMO, beat basically any LHW in the UFC – but that doesn’t necessarily get him the ranking.

And I suppose his winning streak at 167 back in the day earned him a top-5 nod in that weight class. He did hand Sakurai his first loss.

This is my favorite finish from Anderson at WW:

I dont like Anderson. Its actually pretty easy to not like him. Be a big Rich Franklin or Dan Hendo fan. He smashed Rich Franklin into Purgatory, and took the only belt Hendo had left. I root against Anderson almost every time.

Hes a good fighter, has mad, sick skills, but I dont like him.

me neither

I like Anderson and he’s going to beat Forrest who is a fighter i don’t like… Liking someone just because they’re good is not my thing… I root for the person more than the fighter

i never once said i disliked silva, but sometimes success breeds arrogance. thats what i see in him right now, and a loss might make him a more dangerous and devastating fighter out of him. maybe he’ll become more aggressive like he used be before he became superman. you know, back when he was fun to watch. and dotn tell me you were at all excited during his last 2 fights.

34-35 is an age where you’re basically done at in any other sport, the motivation is gone and your body is starting to say no… Anderson could stay in the sport but he’s too good and he’s already accomplished everything!

I kinda agree JJ. It’s all about the scalps on the resume not potential. Though IMO the only LHW who gives him a run is Machida. I guess maybe one more superfight at LHW might secure him that GOAT status.

Jizz Head, your posts were good, I kind of agree. But RoBerto, I agree with you more precisely.

Jizz Head has repeatedly pointed out that he likes fighters based almost exclusively on their fighting, which typically translates to liking the best guys. That to me shows signs of a serious wagon jumper. But to prevent himself from jumping off their wagons when they lose, when he decides he doesn’t want to, he makes up some kind of excuse for why they lost.

“Regardless of their actions or what comes out of their mouths, how can people root against those guys? I just dont get it!”

That tells us when they start losing a few and your excuses have run dry, their wagon is gonna be minus one Jizz-obsessed fan. I hear what you’re saying, and I partially think the same thing, but that’s not the ONLY reason why I like them. And you’ve admitted several times that it’s pretty much the only reason you follow them, although you’ve said it less directly (but directly enough).

Fighters aren’t robots. They’re people.

A fighter, in my eyes, doesn’t have to be a constant winner to garner my respect and approval nor does he have to keep winning to maintain it. There are many variables for why I like a fighter which is more than just his excellence. It’s a lot of things.

For instance, I once asked a question here regarding a fighter’s personality, and you scoffed at it because it seemed almost fanciful and juvenile to you. And your point was, “Who cares?”

I wasn’t offended, because even when I disagree with you, you still usually have an interesting perspective. But they’re not robots; they have personalities and characteristics which are both appealing and unappealing to us. The infinite and unique differences add to the quality of the match-ups, and for me, it’s all about the match-ups. And then it’s all about the fight, which of course means it’s always about the fighters.

Interesting fighters — which doesn’t necessarily mean flamboyant or colorful (i. e. Fedor. I don’t find him dull or boring at all; the opposite in fact) — make interesting match-ups.

But there’s always an element of interest in the best, for example, GSP. I don’t find him boring or lacking in personality, but one of the reasons I like him is because he is the best and I want him to continue to be the best in his division. If he started losing, I admit, I would probably be less interested in his fights (but not altogether disinterested; I will always be interested in GSP) because his fights wouldn’t be as interesting. But as I said, I don’t hold that view for every fighter. It’s not exclusively based on excellence either.

My point is, I agree with you Jizz Bomb, but you’re the equivalent of an extreme right winger, whereas most of us, the more balanced of us, are not so close to one end of the spectrum.

My second post is in moderation. I didn’t swear or abuse anyone. This is annoying. Fair enough, the other day I said something sick regarding wrapping Tito’s hand wraps around my c0ck and my post never appeared, that’s reasonable, but why does it do it sometimes and not others?

You’re not alone, Kobajack. Sometimes Reverend Walt sees fit to keep me from really putting the hammer down on some assbag. I like moderation the way retarded kids like haunted houses.

Haha. Yeah, it’s odd.

Kobajack, I say all the time… there’s a difference between who your fan of and who you think will win. Some people have trouble separating those. I don’t. When, comes to who you like, personality counts. When comes to who you think will win, it’s time to think of them like robots.

I like Kenny and wish he would win, but I think BJ takes it.

I like Forrest and would love to see him pull it off, but I think Anderson destroys him

I hated Brock’s guts, but I put wasn’t about to bet on Mir.

Jizz man does get a little crazy with his favorites when it comes to behavior though. If he likes a guy, he jumps on their side and fights “to the death” even when they are obviously in the wrong. He’s like that only-child Mom who will not believe for a second that her child could be wrong. I try not to do that. For example, I love Dana White, but I call him out now and then when he goes too far.

silva LHW top five? yeah! like you all can dream!!!

just don’t get him against any of these guys..because every single one of them will make him look silly..

shogun
rampage
ortiz

machida vs silva will just bore us to death!! silly match up…

I’m not saying he could definitely beat Rampage or Shogun, but even if he lost, I doubt they would make him look silly.

So, gaara, I gotta disagree — with everything.

Ovary Man, I’ve posted several times about the difference in who you’re rooting for and who you like; you’re preaching to the choir, dawg. :)

I didn’t include it because it’s kind of irrelevant, my man, because I was talking about liking fighters, not who one thinks will win. I understand how it could be seen as relevant, but I have talked about that enough to not bother with the people who can’t tell the difference.

But it was my fault for not being clear. I just felt like a rant.

But I’m glad you see things the same way. :)

How quickly do our “heroes” begin to form feet of clay.

I agree with Jizz on one thing : most fans are fickle fockers.

Cook up any analysis that you want.

A. Silva is the superior fighter.

Truth.

Truth,i’m a wanker!!LOL

“He’s not a top 5 LHW and I’ll prove it by listing 3 fighters that might have a chance against him…”

LOL

That post above made zero sense

I didn’t write “Truth,i’m a wanker!!LOL” by the way.

I think it was OJR.

This is starting to annoy me. Is anyone else being moderated on every post?

For one, my last 6 or so posts have been moderated, about four of them have not been published at all, and one has been deleted.

Perhaps it’s the guy moderating the site. I thought they prided themselves on not messing with people’s posts? I’ll have to start going to Cagepotato if that is the case. It disappoints me.

BYE

-JH

Actually, it might have been JRE. Sorry OJR if it wasn’t you.

You suck JH. I’m outta here. What a loser. Haha. I actually was loyal to this site. What a prick.

I came here daily. What an asshole. Looks like you’re a hypocrite.

So much for appreciating your readers. What a lousy piece of shit. I actually would respect people who liked my site. At least now I know you’re fucking shallow.

Another post? Didn’t you say you were leaving? Bottom line is this, everything was fine and then out of the blue you threaten to leave the site and go to Cage Potato because your comments were moderated. That’s your so-called loyalty? You can keep it. Now, are you going to be a man of your word and shove off or do you plan to stick around and call me names all day? Believe me, there is nothing you can say that I haven’t already heard. One of the perks of this job.

-JH

LOL.

See ya’s later.

lol, no one can complain about moderation until they live one day in my shoes. Just pulled a 14 hour shift, going to bed! May not post much this week! If anyone will be in Philly for 101 and want to get together, email me kevjack115@yahoo.com and I’ll shoot you my cell. I’m gonna be doing tourist type stuff fri and sat! I can still get one more ticket too if anyone needs one.
Good night guys I’m OUT!

LMAO,go away wanker!!!

Jesse and mania are the best!

LOL@ JIZZ and “this is what anderson said,” you mean in the thread from yesterday?

I bet Jesse is a fucking wimp too. And he has shit writing ability and no imagination. I’m defecting. LOL

Having a thirteen-year-old fool like JRE compliment your site is not the best recommendation. LOL. Of course I wanted to go to Cagepotato afterwards because I read the other day where you said that you pride yourself on not editing posts and I thought that was really cool, — and then you delete mine and edit them! Hypocrite. So you ruined any trust. It means nothing to you but the readers are what makes your site. That’s low, man. You could have at least said, “I didn’t do it or something,” and I would have apologized, but you immediately couldn’t care less and told me to go. That’s shallow, dude.

__

I’ve never changed or edited a single post in three years — why would I start with yours? The only posts I ever deleted were either spam or had something stupid like the N-word in them.

—

And I think the fact that I allow the posts that say "Jesse is a fag, Jesse blows, blah blah blah is evidence of my policy on posting. Say what you want about the evils of moderation — it’s controlled by the system and not a person — and you still won’t find a more lenient site for opinions on the net.

__

Now, if you’re going away, then go. If you’re sticking around, get back to the important stuff — like MMA.

-JH

we heard you 5 posts ago, adios muchacho!

Good riddance!

that’s actually pretty bad if you edit peoples posts. I like this site not respecting your readers doesn’t say much about your integrity.

That wasnt Jesse btw!

whatever Adam G. GO f-ck your retarded two-year-old son like you have been doing since he was born.

How is that proof when you edited mine before? Don’t worry, I’m outta here.

you fucking douche bags need to stop whining. Whhat part of “I’ve never editted a post in 3 years” didn’t you understand or “the system moderates not A person?”
Get over it, I get moderated the most and barely complain. Go to cage potato, that LESSER SITE NEEDS LESSER DOUCHE-BAGS TO GIVE THEIR OPINIONS!

WOW, hey jesse Kobajack needs to go. AdamG doesn’t fuck kids, he fucks kobajacks mom!

LAME. Stop trying to be the cool guy Kevin because it doesn’t work, you f-ckin midget. Go take your Napoleon-complex and shove it up your @ss.

You all stick together like flies to shit. Talk about being assimilated.

It’s disappointing, because there were actually good people who actually had a clue about MMA on this site, like Jeremyjackson and Ovary Man. Too bad those two have to sift through the human garbage like Kevin, Adam G, JRE, and OJR. None of the latter group ever have valid arguments. They’re all stupid.

I AM A WANKER!!!!

Jesse, if you don’t edit posts, I apologize for the accusation, but every single one of mine was being moderated and then someone used my name. And one of mine was deleted too. I thought it was you. But you didn’t even care to explain it. I wouldn’t have said about leaving the site to just be an @sshole or presume to think you would give a shit, I said it out of frustration, because if you edit posts, well you take away our freedom to express our thoughts about the subject.

__

I understand your frustration and I hope you can understand mine: Moderation is in place — by the system — to keep the site comment friendly, meaning that you can post without having to sign up for an account or type in those ridiculous hieroglyphics with every comment.

I don’t know what causes some posts to be flagged while others sail through, but I try to get to them and clear them out as fast as I can — in between keeping the news flowing, typing up stories, etc.

I can’t speak for Mania or his trigger finger but I can tell you he, like I, never change what a person says. He might be more apt to delete a comment — but never change it. Sometimes the comment section can be like the Wild West and all we can do is run to catch up.

Now let’s forget about this stuff and get back to the business of MMA — I hear they’re looking for you in the Amir Sadollah post.

-JH

It looks like there are 2 Kobajacks running around.

Koba-

Someone is jacking your screen name. Happens to everybody.

Don’t worry about it.

Okay, Jesse, sorry. Maybe you’re not that bad after all. And it’s understandable if people complain about your site, about leaving it, how it would irk you, or more precisely, provoke you to encourage them to leave.

But I assure you, I didn’t mean it like how I’ve seen other people say it. I meant it as if to say, “Well if they’re messing with my posts, I suppose I better leave.” That’s why I got cut afterward.

I said something retaliatory to another poster earlier on and it got deleted and then every post, even a five word post, got moderated and I thought someone (you or Mania or whomever) didn’t want me posting anymore or something.

Screw these other fools like JRE, OJR, Adam G and Kevin, there are worthwhile posters here like Jeremyjackson, Ovaries, Dragon, Attakdog, etc. who actually have some intelligent insight.

To be honest, I don’t know why I care, but I like this site and have been coming here for a couple of years now (I think) and hope you can see where I’m coming from and that although I’m immature at times, I’m not a morally void piece of shit like JRE and OJR.

Good stuff maniacs,that was hilarious,i’m out!

Ok.

By the way, despite posting as Dragon, unfortunately I am not the screen bandit. I was going to joke to Dragon as “TheDragon” in the amir thread but inadvertently wrote “Dragon” instead.

I was getting totally jacked by the screen bandit though. So, sorry for the confusion.

Also, I apologize to OJR. I think we were misunderstood. Please accept my apology if you see it.

And I also didn’t say those things as “Dragon” in the Amir thread. It was JRE. You can tell by the lack of grammatical ability. I didn’t get a chance to do it there (my TheDragon thing) because I was too busy writing my apology to Jesse, hehe. Plus, I wouldn’t do that to my man Dragon.

So, Dragon, I didn’t do that shit.

God, it looks bad, making a double post as Dragon, but really, I didn’t. I promise. Why would I bag you? If anything I only had reason to bag Adam G, Kevin, JRE, and OJR (although OJR is decent I suspect, we just misunderstood each other).

All good.

So for clarification, I didn’t post as “Dragon” in the Amir thread AT ALL. I was going to post as “TheDragon” as an obvious joke where he would know it was me but wrote “Dragon” instead and then I posted here on this thread before posting anywhere else and DIDN’T do it anywhere else. Sorry for the lameness of my stupid posts, this Screen Name Bandit guy has really screwed me around. I’m going to bed.

But does it help you be a better fighter? A Silva via sacrifice to the gods of marketability!!!

Mania never misses out on an opportunity to flog BSN crap. What else is the purpose of this thread? If you guys like NO-Xplode, try Gaspari Nutrition’s Superpump 250 or Dymatize Xpand. More complete formula without OD’ing on caffeine and getting the jitters and losing sleep. If you take X-plode before training at night you will probably have trouble sleeping, and that much caffeine is straght-up bad for you. That being said, none of these products are good for you. They are loaded with artificial substances.

And Forrest’s abs look a little airbrushed in those pictures. I would rather watch a Nicolas Cage marathon than hang out in a parking lot with a BSN truck.

A little airbrushed double j?? Heavily airbrushed I’d say!

I’m the same age and just follow the directions!

y dont u use kre-alkalyn u dont have to cycle that and it works just as good as cretine but not as good as NO-explode

Or in Forrest’s case, get hit with something big.

I got vip parkinh, will I have any problems?

Whatever Kevin, you only brought that up to express that you have VIP. LOL

having a conversation with yourself down here?

let the kid be alone brendan

more like, let the KIDS alone, gaara — you kiddie fiddler

LMOA!!!!

*LMAO!!

lol…hahhaha

I don’t think cardio had anything to do with Hendo losing that fight. I think it was mostly due to getting smashed in the face by the shin of an infinitely superior striker. And Hendo’s chin makes Forrest’s look like glass. Goodnight, sweet prince.
