He cuts like 25 pounds just to fight at 185... He is a pretty big middle weight but I would like to see him do that well at 205 against all the guys there... not just Griffin and Irvin.
Him and Machida would be fun to watch so would him vs The Wand, but he would fight him at 185 too so I would like to see that for sure!
wand is training with team black house now and said wont fight silva. same thing with machida. both machida and silva said they wont fight eachother. silva vs shogun would be a good fight.
i dont know buddy.....im just hoping that fight doesnt get on the ground.....maia's bjj is great, if not the best bjj in the mma......once that fight hits the mat, we might have a new champion....so im a kind of nervous my favorite fighter might lose....
COME ON GIVE THIS GUY A FIGHT, EVERYONE STANDS OFF THAT GIVES ANDERSON EVERYTHING HE WANTS, WHO WILL GET HOLD OF HIM AND NOT LET GO? THATS WHO WILL BEAT HIM.
MY VERDICT OVER RATED PUNCHER YOU CANT STAND OFF, A PUNCHER TOO MUCH RESPECT, GET STUCK IN GET HIM DOWN BEAT HIM UP!!!
I agree that he has not been challenged lately but he beat Franklin down 2 times and he was on top when that happened. Then Hendo and Nate were pretty good too!
remus u r a fukwit! did u say the p4p king of MMA is an "overrated puncher"? do u work for dream? i think u should go comment on boxing sites at least that way u would actually fool some fuktard fans into thinking u know something about a sports u have no clue about!
everybody thinks silva is unbeatable, hes a great fighter but he has weaknesses, he is not untouchable! the same group of idiots that think he is unbeatable will be the same group of idiots that think whoever eventully does beat him is unbeatable. i know this will get voted weak because of the silva fan boys and girls, but mark these words!!!
Maia will have a chance if he can take the fight to the ground but most likely Anderson will not go to the ground with him. A.S will probably destroy Maia.
the spider will dominate maia on the ground???? i dont think so! if the fight goes on the ground maia is defenatly my favorite, but i dont think he is able to take the spider down!!!
He is about 210 or 220 because I read somewhere he looses about 25 to 30 lbs for each fight. Thats a lot of weight to cut yea but not if you are a top level fighter who has done it all his life. It is a good way to dominate a lower division though!
He is great that is why I want to see him fight 205.
i dont understand why mia is even getting a title shot...marquart just knocked his ass out...i can think of a few people in front of mia for the number 1 contender spot for sure...
yeah and those guys are either injured or recovering from a recent match....its sucks vitor belfort had to get injured, that wouldve been a great match....i wish sonnen didnt get beat up so bad in his win, other wise he wouldve been facing the champ right now....
honestly im tired of Silva at the MW division. there are only a handfull of fights in the division for him and no one actually thinks he could lose to any current challengers in the division just that a handfull might make him break a sweat.
he should vacate his title and just stay in the LHW division, LHW looks like a more comfortable weight for him. Silva has had 2 fights in the UFC which were "boring" in which he seemed slugish and a little not into the fight at hand, and that is probally from the 40lbs weight cut he has to make. i think LHW is where all of the real interesting match ups for him lay.
maia is not good enough to take him down we will see how good maias chin really is, anderson is going to dish out the punishment and not take any damage, like the lettis fight but will probably not go all 5 i say 2 maybe 3 rounds maia has savage bjj but has noway to get him to the ground to use it...i think anderson is the best counter puncher in mma. and have u seen anderson get hit much in a fight?
He looks big here, but I still think he makes a small LHW. Haha but I guess that doesn't matter when his 2 LHW fights were against big dudes, and he made them look silly...
As for him staying in the MW division, I AGREE that he doesn't have many real challengers... but to say that he should vacate his title is stupid. Did anyone ask BJ to vacate his LW belt when he moved to WW? And now he's 1 of 2 people to hold 2 belts in 2 different weight classes. How badass would it be if A. Silva could do that but simultaneously...

LOL love the shorts... MEXICAN PRIDE???
Hmm... I don't think that's quite right...
Anderson' the man!
He forgot his shorts that day, so he borrowed Velasquez's
helooks huge....why isnt he fighting at hw
most fighters train heavier and cut weight

the first pic shows how good he is. He can dodge a jab and pose for the camera at the same time lol
maia will be a sacraficial lamb
silva would beat maia so hard that he would take that one J from maia's BJJ.
i dont know buddy.....im just hoping that fight doesnt get on the ground.....maia's bjj is great, if not the best bjj in the mma......once that fight hits the mat, we might have a new champion....so im a kind of nervous my favorite fighter might lose....
Anderson is a bad ass. Demian Maia is a good fighter, but he is not on the same level as Silva. He will get destroyed.

Im tellin you he needs to fight The Wand!!!

No Davies, Remus works for Strikeforce

and what are you a fedor nutsucker......youre just mad because our favorite fighter would whoop your fighters ass anyday....
Maia will have a chance if he can take the fight to the ground but most likely Anderson will not go to the ground with him. A.S will probably destroy Maia.
On the ground or on the feet, The Spider will dominate!
Loving the mexican shorts.
the spider will dominate maia on the ground???? i dont think so! if the fight goes on the ground maia is defenatly my favorite, but i dont think he is able to take the spider down!!!
man he is big he is 6.2 atliest 240lb in this pictures
I wouldnt say 240, thats a ridiculous weight cut down to 185, MAYBE 210-220
He is about 210 or 220 because I read somewhere he looses about 25 to 30 lbs for each fight. Thats a lot of weight to cut yea but not if you are a top level fighter who has done it all his life. It is a good way to dominate a lower division though!
He is great that is why I want to see him fight 205.
and 220 is still alot of weight to cut
joe rogan said he cut weight for the forest fight. So hes probably around 215ish..
i dont understand why mia is even getting a title shot...marquart just knocked his ass out...i can think of a few people in front of mia for the number 1 contender spot for sure...

**** sonnen, maia submited him in the first round. no one in middelweight can beat the spider right now.
maia is not good enough to take him down we will see how good maias chin really is, anderson is going to dish out the punishment and not take any damage, like the lettis fight but will probably not go all 5 i say 2 maybe 3 rounds maia has savage bjj but has noway to get him to the ground to use it...i think anderson is the best counter puncher in mma. and have u seen anderson get hit much in a fight?

damnn. i dont think maia will survive, thats sad to know! but who can? i think only belfort... maybe sonnen
some peole saying he makes a small LHW. He is HW 6,2 taller than most HW and walks atliest 225lb.The best place for him is HW or LHW
hopefully someone breaks his neck
mexican boxing is one of the best in the world
