Anderson Silva is trying a spinning back kick here, then almost sits down toying with Maia. “The Spider” is in full control here, displaying confidence and supremacy in every aspect of the fight. Sorry, but I don’t know how to describe what Anderson Silva is doing right now.

Silva is dancing again, Demian Maia counters Silva with a very good combo to the body, but he falls again and Anderson Silva is literally runs away. The crowd is booing as the third round ends. 10-8 Anderson Silva. |
| Round 4: This is fight is an exact replica of the Leites-Silva bout. Demian Maia is now chasing Anderson Silva, whose illusiveness is second to none in that fight. Another questionable performance by Anderson Silva. All he does is to play with Demian Maia, damaging him with a stinging jabs from distance. The Champion gives the feeling of a complete supremacy in that fight, but he is still far from finishing Demian Maia. Anderson Silva is moving around the Octagon, as Demian Maia is chasing him. He taunts Demian Maia again, asking him to go stand with him. Fourth round ends. Poor round. 10-9 Silva. |
Round 5: Demian Maia’s left eye looks busted up. Final Round is underway, and it looks like Anderson Silva is going for the kill here.

Maia’s face is busted up, but the multi-time BJJ Champion is showing a true warrior’s spirit in that round. Demian Maia finally catches Anderson Silva’s leg! Silva is in a deep trouble here… but he escapes. Both fighters are waving with their hands asking for action. Dan Miragliotta stops the fight for a moment, and warns Anderson Silva due to the lack of action. Fifth round ends. Demian Maia won that round in my opinion, but Anderson Silva will probably retain his title for another time. Yes! And still, the UFC Middleweight Champion of the World Anderson Silva! Well, another questionable performance from Anderson Silva. Demian Maia gave his best possible performance in the fourth round, but it was not enough to defeat "The Spider".

Comments
Silva is going to take it
Silva was trying his best the whole fight.. he just isn't what people make him out to be, he had damian on his feet for 5 rounds and he couldn't finish him.. and they call him #1 p4p? lol.
This fight proved why Fedor is #1.
so tell fedor to go in there and prove it rather than fighting the clearly less talented fighters of strikeforce
haha naw he danced for almost 2 full rounds...fedor isnt the best till he fights the top heavyweights in the world
He did what he wanted, when he wanted, had time to taunt, punch the floor, punch his opponents leg, put his hands on his waist, kick while taunting and so many other comical things including an air guitar that you can't even remember.
Not only that, but he's already dominated aat 170-185, and 205....THAT'S why they call him #1 p4p. Anyone with any sense knows he could have finished maia, so i guess that just leaves you.
Matt Hughes vs Renzo Gracie is on!
hughes via taking renzo's manhood
right on point..........bj penn second round tko......anderson silva first round ko
i loved wat gracie said in the end when rogan asked him if he wanted more time to train or a easier opponent, "wat kind of fighter would i be, if i did that?" thats y i love renzo
Wow, Frankie the new Lightweight champ.
edgar beating penn mite b as great an upset as serra beating silva, cant believe penn lost he should hve listened to his corner and taked edgar down in round 4 n 5 could hve been a different outcome
Yeah, he usually listens to his corner, i thought he would take Edgar down but didn't. He seem to have slowed a lot at the 5th round, and Edgar really turned it up on him. I think there's still some conditioning that needs to be done for Bj.
penn actually landed more shots
I need to see the fight on BJ/Edgar...
I guess Edgar won by decision...Thats weak, my belief is that you need to beat the champ...i heard BJ chased him around...hmm sounds like he was the agressor. what a joke way to loose your belt.. i bet there were alot of boooos
Well he sure did land some good shots, and actually took Bj down a couple of times. Frankie was moving in and out. Bj actually had alot more damage on his face then Frankie did. I say the decision was correct and Frankie earned the win.
Frankie Edgar is legit!
and penn being such a great fighter should have finish edgar!
Frankie Edgar the Lighweight champ!! for sure!
oh my god if maia beats silva this will be the 2 biggest upsets in one night!!!
i knew there was going to be one upset in ufc 112, didn't think it was going to b edgar beating penn, lets c if maia can pull the upset too
ok soooo it looks like im gonna b wrong on my prediction of maia winning, im ashamed of that prediction
Silva is just toying with him!
I think Silva just doesn't like to Finish Brazilians. Maybe things will change later on.
:-)
wow what an upset. I knew Frankie Edgar had a chance but unanimous decision? congrats to "the answer"
wats wrong wit Anderson SIlva, he does everything to win in the first/two round n then just runs around wtf???
I say it again, i think he just doesn't like to finish his fellow Brazilians.
UFC 116
Anderson Silva Vs Dana White!
haha i cant wait till dana white speaks...this is the second time he did this shit!!!!!!!!
He seems untouchable, just playing with decent fighters like Maia and Griffin. He says he would try Lesnar. I say let 'em go.
i say it again he dosen't like see food
The crowd is tired from booing
if i was Dana, i would thorw in the towel to the Silva/Maia fight while there is still time...
Is this the repied of Tales figt
So far every time Sliva hs faught a brazillian, he has held back and not finished....complete crap for a fighter...joke for the ufc
Baby Jesus is crying
Maybe...Silva should be barred from fighting other brazilians?
What they should do is deduct a point each round if he is not aggressive enough. Imagine if they did that in each round. Could end up tight and he would have to fight.
Anderson "The Chicken" Silva
did you see the movie chicken runn Anderson favorite movie
Gimmie back my goddamn money!
Give me back my pirated streaming signal
Wow and people claim Silva is the p4p best fighter in the world? Puh-leeezzzz...that was awful. At least GSP fights. BJ Penn fights. Fedor fights.
GSP>Fedor>Penn>Silva
The thing i say no one's listening
In pound 4 pound list im gona vote for Anderson he stil gona loose :)
i am begining to belive some of that crap sonnen said about silva . the man has no respect for the sport and no respect for his opponents a complete lack of class and character. this time people cant blame it on maia like they did to leites at least maia came to fight not to dance
by the way i told you this was going to decison
Silva is OVERRATED!!!
Give him to Sonnen
I am so DYING to see the post fight confrence, I want to see Dana White's reaction.
UFC post conferences. About as epic as the events themselves. Lol.
who would have thought that after 112, we would be talking about how anderson silva ruined it by running away for 3 rounds. Silva needs to vacate the title and stick around in LHW, what is this nonsense about he is going to cut to 170? he is a man who walks around at about 200+ lbs. this was the worst fight i've seen in a long while.
what is the reality of the LW division with Fankie Edgar as the champion. that will have to win "up set of the year" forsure. i imagine that we will see a rematch sooner rather than later, he certainly won the fight but he didn't really shut down BJ.
I repeat - give him to Sonnen at MW and Lesnar at HW (Silva's idea, not mine).
Hey upsets happen to the best of them, lets hope BJ gets a title shot right after this loss like GSP when he lost to Serra
wat r u talking about gsp fought hughes and kos b4 serra
Matt Hughes is a legend his fights never boring
Dude, what's the deal with Lowkick.com? Anton_Gurevich? Do you guys work for the UFC. That commentary read like such shameless spin.
First off, Matt Hughes completely carried Renzo. Could have finished him in round two, but was either showing pity or giving the hometown crowd a gift by not demolishing their hero. And lowkick.com spins it like hughes pulled out a last minute miracle k.o.
Then in Penn vs. Edgar, one judge was insane and scored every round for edgar. So instead of highlighting this insanity, lowkick scores it the same way. After the decision comes in.
Then lowkick tries to make it seem like the city wasn't booing silva out of the building. Did you guys get bought today? Was that why you were offline?
Take you hating somewhere else. Don't sign up today and bash this site or its moderators, We come here to talk mma, and express out opinions of fighters, and fights, not to bash the people that work hard to keep this site current for all of us. Go somewhere else if you are that negative.
Dude get a grip stop ragging on the site, u joined today just to moan at everyone about how Anton does his posts.
AND if u actually read his post it says The crowd are booing silva, and also that it is a questionable performance at the end.
UFC - is sadly beginning to resemble fake wrestling crap, by idealizing some fighters just to sell tickets and PPV. Dana was trying so hard hyping up Silva, even though Silva in reality is far from being the best PFP, not only he has 4 losses, with two by submission, but he was always carefully put against fighters, Dana knew he would beat. And the act with Forest was very pitiful. It was obvious that after such a shitty performance against Leites, Silva needed a KO, and Dana didn't want to take any chances, so Forest played his role. I can't really blame the guy, Dana owns his ass from the beginning. Unfortunately for Dana, Forest can't act, thus it was obvious that the whole thing was fake. Just remember all the battles that Forest fought, and here, he just gave up, in the first round, c'mon. This fight against Maia, was supposed to be an easy KO for Silva, Dana thought - Maia being smaller, thus very unlikely to take down Silva, as a result they had to fight standing, which is really not Maia's forte, however after Maia realized that Silva ain't that great, he started to press, while Silva was really done. If Silva such a great fighter, why didn't Dana put him against a real threat, someone who has a punching power to KO him, maybe Rampage or anyone else, depending on the weight they would have to compete... Don't get me wrong, Silva is a very good fighter, but not even close to being best PFP! People chanted GSP, I think its easy to see who is really the top guy!
That was the worst UFC I have ever seen. I am disgusted. I cant believe they gave Edgar the belt for that performance. Whatever happened to having to definitevly beating the champ to claim the title. That was a boring fight. Ive seen better sparring matches in the gym. Silva did so much showboating. A little is good fun but that was unproffessional.
still no one is talking about Maia throwing 3 punches in 2 rounds.
