Junior Dos Santos wind by Unanimous Decision
30-27, 30-27, 30-26
body shots galore. Nelson didnt want nona dat work.
SILVA!!!!!
silva is losing the fight damn!!!
Roy Nelson never wants to fight Junior Dos Santos again!... In my eyes Silva is now the best P4P fighter in the world!
I agree Silva is still the top guy and showed the heart and skill of a true champion. Sonnen is 10x the wrestler GSP is and he still couldn't beat Anderson on his worse day...GSP gets beaten even worse than Sonnen did and that's by Sonnen not even Anderson yet so keep riding that pony as long as you can
For 1 if your not a fan of anderson silva or not everybody knows silva didnt look like silva tonight and 2 from the looks of sonen tonight he is a way more agressive ground and pound fighter then gsp(not saying he could beat gsp)
exactly i think even with the win he's gettin bumped down on the greatest p4p fighters list
He'd probably take GSP seriously and actually attack him for more than a few seconds per round.
lol i bet cheal would beat gsp
...it's my ribs...it's my ribs...it's my ribs. Your ribs my ass you arrogant twit!
hopefully this beating Silva got tonight will go a long way in knocking that ****iness right out him!
Poor lil Sorres. he was standing there at the end of the night like a dejected lil kid, with hip hop hat turned sideways like a complete fu*king tool!
u go fight sonnen with injured ribs, dont go down playing this fight, he was clearly hurt, every time he tried to dodge a shot it was clear something was wrong (which is why he got hit flush), plus if u watch the post fight interviews look at his face compared to sonnen, ur full of shit if u honestly think hes an arrogant twit, and that submission was timed perfect and with great precision, after getting dominated for 4 1/2 rounds. And (dont know this for sure) but it looked like he was making a statment in the first by just letting sonnen hit him, i mean he was just taken combos left and right. Thats y hes one of the best, if not the best, fighters in the world.
There will always be the uneducated shit talkers bro they know we're right but they're trying to hold onto some false sense of reality. You would think that you would learn MMA before you go posting on MMA sites and showing your complete lack of common sense...ignorance is bliss
Yea, Anderson Silva got exposed big time.. to call him p4p #1 would be an insult to mma. Silva got destroyed in the stand up and on the ground.
Fedor or GSP is #1 right now p4p
not fedor he got beat by a ufc reject and idk i dont like gsp but he is deff the top p4p fighter right now. silva will get pushed down farther tho when vitor fights him and gsp's rep will go up when he beats koschekcs ****yy ass haha
Surpise surprise dumb nuthuggers thinks fedor is number one after a LOSS and andersons WIN in fedors style(with the exact same submission that got him the loss!) no less...somehow bumps him down.
And 5 people agreed? Stupid coward use one account.
Chael said having a black belt under the nog bros is like having a toys in a happy meal..now he got caught in the happy meal toy..
**** ANDERSON SILVA!!
chael all the way!! i say it.. to bad he always gets a sub.
DAMMED!! i want a REMATCH!!
Yes! Great fights! How do I go about collecting that t-shirt?!
Well you know you're the best when all they have to criticize you for are your victories...turning a weak position into a dominant position and being able to win is what a true champion does. Please keep hating him because the more he's hated the more he wins
"wwaaaaah you didn't win the right way!"
this is something that wouldn't happen in any other sport. Something needs to stop the constant idiocy that is displayed ONLY by MMA fairweather fans.
It's only criticism because Silva was very close to losing. And being dominated for 4 rounds by Sonnen whom a lot of people gave no credit for. It just shows that Silva is great with a great comeback victory or he's not as good and pulled a hail marry. We'll see when he fights Vitor or a rematch.
