Did you catch the Maia, Cote, and Leites fights? They are a cure for insominia.

LMAO

I'm sure most did, bordem with opponents...

You See Franklin twice, Forrest (former LHW Champ), Sonnen, Hendo, Nate?

Come on LA we went through this before. The argument that Anderson was bored with his opponents is old. There is reason that Maia, Thales, and Cote( he was going to if he didn't trip) went the distance. They didn't engage and try to wildly trade with Anderson. You will never see Anderson the aggressor because he doesn't like to take chances. And lol at listing Forrest as a former LHW like I posters here have no idea.. You were better off putting (the worst UFC champion of all time)

So beating Shgun is meaningless now? Current LHW Champion. Whether he is or isn't is meaningless, he is still a top 10 LHW most places, can't discredit the win.

As far as those fights, he didn't need to be the aggressor, those opponents offered no threats in all reailty, Maia was trying for takedown and getting brushed off with ease. We should all hate GSP too if not finishing opponents hurts your fighter cred. But yeah all those great fighters he beat before in dramatic fashion are meaningless now.

Agree 100% if he dosent want to go to the ground why should he? If you want him on the ground do what Sonnen did. How many guys has he finished compared to the current champs....yes he dances to much but he is the best standup fighter in the UFC only one close in my opinion is Aldo.

I will say the end of the Maia fight was quite puzzling.

Dana recently commented that if both GSP and Silva win their upcoming fights, then the long awaited GSP v. Silva match-up could be next....so I'm kind of rooting for Silva if that is really the case.

I have not picked against Anderson.......well ....ever. Damn, I picked him over Franklin even, but I jsut think Vitor wins this, I just think standing he can win it and knock Anderson around and have Anderson afraid enough to avoid the clinch.

However, im a retard cause im drinking the Vitor Belfort Koolaide once again and we all know how that turns out.

Well thats why I got Spider lol and not to mention the year and a half layoff.

the lyoff is what really scares me, i honestly know i should pick Anderson im just going with Vitor

I really wanted to pick Vitor, I don't trust the ring rust either, that and Spider is a great stand-up fighter too.

I pick Silva. I want to be wrong.
