UFC 153 Post-Fight Interviews: Anderson Silva says he is a Jedi
Posted on October 14, 2012, 01:01 PM by Mike DrahotaIn a series of post-fight interviews courtesy of FuelTV.com, UFC Middleweight champion Anderson Silva describes his brutal performance in destroying Stephan Bonnar last night. Noting that his coaches wanted him to switch positons to avoid the wrestling of Bonnar, Silva told them to calm down, because he is a Jedi. With his UFC win streak at an unbelievable 16 fights, Silva touched on the topic of his oft-discussed superfight with Georges St. Pierre, who faces Carlos Condit next month in Montreal.
Dana White was on hand to discuss the happenings of the event, noting that Aderson Silva is the best fighter of all time who just finished a fighter who has never been stopped. White wishes Silva to fight Jon Jones in a battle of champions. While both fighters have said they would not face each other, White is confident that the challenge and the money available for that bout would persuade them to take part. Speculation is running rampant over Anderson Silva's next bout, but there isn't much left for Anderson Silva to accomplish. White also praised Big Nog for his warhorse attitude in his win over Herman. White ended by downplaying his supposed rift with Jon Fitch.
Antonio "Big Nog" Nogueira showed up to proclaim that he is far from finished in the UFC Heavyweight division. He proved this last night with an impressive submission over Dave Herman only ten months after having multiple screws placed in his right arm after Frank Mir broke it. Big Nog had high praise for Dana White and the UFC for their excellent treatment of his injury when he required treatment. Nogueira is an undeniable legend who deserves the respect of MMA fans everywhere.
Rounding out the interviews, hot prospect Glover Teixeira discussed his fight with Fabio Maldonado that turned into a brutal bout from the start. Teixeira admitted he was surprised the referee did not stop the fight after the first round. Teixeira states that he wants to fight Quinton Rampage Jackson, but only if he comes in motivated and in good shape for the bout. The sky seems to be the limit for the Chuck Liddell-trained Brazilian fighter.

He's coming for you Samuel L Jackson!
Ariel Helwani is a Fedor nuthugger that is hurt now that he knows Fedor never will be and Anderson always will be the greatest fighter ever.
Jedi who fights robot Can's
if your calling bonnar a can your an idiot. he was on a 3 fight win streak and all his losses have come via, forrest x 2 DECISION, rashad DECISION, jon jones DECISION and stopped via a cut against soszynski which he avenged in the rematch. there is a loss against an old mark coleman but he'd prob still be hard as nails now let alone 4 or so years ago. No shame in losing to all former champions, especially going the distance against every one of them (excluding soz) You sir, need to learn more about the sport.
LOL Silva haters are hilarious!
Aren't we gonna give him more sharps for hating on silva!?!? He's the only guy who had the balls not to change his name and pretend to be someone else...
I think I remember another poster that had the same writing style. I think the screen name was toni.
HAHAHAHA....dang those were the days....ragging on toni...im pretty sure its him
Yea, he is toni. But you get idiots here who make the same argument like 4000 times and they have names like jelo1234345 or punda or krogan.
Ever wonder why the most unintelligent arguments never die here? That's probably why.So...you gotta respect mokoko for only changing his name once when every other guy changed it that many times.
Plus,mokoko is the only person who doesn't deny he hates on anderson because of fedor. That takes guts on the internet
I actually find the guy quite funny. I just picture a russian guy sitting in his room with posters of fedor everywhere.
ulikebang, right there with you bro but for some reason I also picture him as fat and having a really hairy back. Effed up right?
LOL. Its all good. We're all here for mma. We're all brothers. hehe
Fitch was indeed awesome and i cant believe i am saying this but very entertaining also....good for him.
Mokoko you are an idiot ....you should bow down to the goat you retard. Small **** complex is my guess about you.
Moko is to Anderson Silva what Fox news is to Democrats
I believe him,
that knee has the power of the force behind it!!
You know Keith he really seems to have the force.
BTW, Ariel asked (as did many others) why Anderson laid back against the fence with his arms down. I think it was just a demonstration of skill a la Muhammed Ali - one of Silva's idols
Yea your right in saying a la Ali and not copying Ali because people call Silva the Ali of MMA but he is truly the SIlva of MMA, him and Ali are similar in what they did but now it seems Silva is just as dominant and skillful as the Greatest, just not as famous
You're right. People who didn't know boxing still knew Ali but he was (in)famous for other reasons as well including changing his name for reasons relating to his Muslim religion, refusing the Vietnam draft and his association with Malcolm X etc. Many Southern whites considered him "uppity" for daring to have an opinion and of course many thought he had a rude and brash style of hyping a fight but then they'd never heard of Chael Sonnen yet.
get a room you 2!
LOL Silva haters are hilarious!
if you thing you are a jedi take a fight at HW and let us see if force is strong in you. Lets say a cartoon char looking Alistar Overeem vs jedi A.S.
No need for that. Just fight Jon Jones.
I'd watch that. I don't think Overeem could land on Andy. HW's are too slow. If one got on top though, done.
Fitch fight was entrtaining but if I was Fitch Id still be pissed I couldn't finish someone fully mounted arm trapped,Its gotta mes with him.
Those drops to Silvas jaw were hard and he was in and out of being able to defend himself. It was only a matter of time.
Bonnar 15-7 is not in top 10 that makes him a can.Foresst lost from silva any way wath was the point fighting him.Wach one of the Reem videos Anderson met Overeem on the street they look the same sise
It's not worth arguing with a FOOL who calls Bonnar a can.
If you read the articles before the Bonnar fight most commentators were calling him a bum and such. I was one of the few who actually said he's better than that. Now Silva wins all of a sudden Bonnar isn't a can? No consistency with a lot of folks on here.
mokoko dont listen to these f***s....
Bonnar is on a 3fight win streak? Fighting nobodys at the bottom of the barrell. Bonnar had NO Business being in there with Silva. Not only that but UFC hurt the credability of Silva and his so called legacy.
I didnt see the fight nor did I want to....They tried to hyype the fight but in reality...Bonnar never had a chance...JOKE
This BS matchup teaches the other fighters that one doesnt have to move to the top of the ranks to fight the champ. COMPLETE BS....
Reem? You need some seriously strong glasses and some therapy man.
Pride was the best organisation ever and Anderson was 26 years old 9 win streak best fighter from Kute box academy and got completly dominated from worst fighter in the world Takasse and didnt ravenge his losses he choses who to fight always he never foght good wrestler with good submition game in the UFC when he fights sumbition guys like Demian Maya good in submition weak in wrestling he runs like chicken.Sonnen good wrestler no submition game.That wuy he is truying to avoid Jones
Huh?
I guess in Silva's mind Jedi's fight easy opponents that have no hope in hell in beating them. I suspect Silva got Jedi and Sith mixed up.
That sound offensive to me as a Silva fan but I'm hard pressed to deny it entirely.
Well i'm a silva fan too and i still don't know why he doesn't fight monster trucks, and i still think chael can win if silva is in a car accident the day before.
After seeing the Teixeira fight, He is one dimentional....crappy JJ..
Beating Maldonado sensless...and Maldonado still rocked him...
Teixeira was on top on Maldonado for the whole 1st round practically and he still couldnt finish him.
Teixeira is now calling out Rampage......same speed...brawler...
delay the inevitable....you will get beat down within the top 5 contenders....
Did you watch the same fight I did? It's just a testament to Maldonados heart that he didn't get stopped sooner. Dude took an almighty beating and still wanted to fight.
Glover looked impressive in spite of getting rocked. Looking forward to his next fight.
heard somebody whispering that the powerful jedi is gonna test him self one more time and now its gonna be against anthony pettis in a catchweight bout at 180.
the force may with you be...
Probably the closest thing to Jedi the UFC will ever see.....
Ok just to start things off I am a MASSIVE Silva fan and love watching him fight. I loved this fight, seeing the matrix style from Anderson again!
However I have just been watching it again and starting to worry that it may have been a fix.
Re watching the fight it seemed to me like Bonnar was saying things to Anderson. Like watch at 2.31, he clearly lifts his head and whispers something to Silva, then just after Anderson shoulder barges him and throws a knee.
Little things like this were happening throughout the fight and Bonnar was clinching and hiding his head down, to say things!
Also look at 0.42 to 0.32 Bonnar is tentatively clinching with him and very close together and it looks like he is saying what to do next and Anderson easily spins him around (like Bonnar is allowing it) and then trips him and does the finish!
I have seen this sorta of thing with Cro Cop and Dos Santos and also Cro Cop and Frank Mir. This grappling and talking stuff!!
I really hope its not a fix as I love watching Anderson but now I wonder........does anyone else see what I see??
It's called talking shit to get in your opponent's head. Have you never been in a fight? We used to do that shit in street fights when I was a kid.
Yeah I can understand that. but it wasn't like that. Its as if he was trying to whisper it on the sly. Just re watch the fight 10 times like I have and watch out for the bits I said. i am a huge Silva fan as well so this is difficult for me to say. I hope it wasn't a fix.
no..but then again we're not a meth
on
Someone on here has like 5 profiles same guy using different tactics to get people to agree with him thats as realas it gets.Maldanado has the heart of Mickey Ward,Eric Silvas chin was as impressive as Fitchs performance and and Anderson the Jeti Silva showed all the haters once again who the greatest is,and I hope nobody else says this1st Im caling what he did "The Cagehdope".-Like Ali's "Ropehdope" for the freshmen.
I'm not on meth either. Just something I've observed.
@turdcologne - Judging by the look of your avatar, I would say your probably on it.
Jedi mind tricks work well on Bonnar. You will curl up into a ball. You will take a dive...
