11/04/10 - Maia says he was "sworn at" by Silva during fight

Demian Maia says he was “sworn at and disrespected” during his middleweight title fight with Anderson Silva at UFC 112. The five-round affair saw Anderson dance around Maia making antic gestures and mocking him for most of the fight.

Maia says his fellow Brazilian went as far as swearing at him and making disrespectful comments across the 25 minutes of their clash and that this was why he did not shake his adversary’s hand at the of the fight. Maia made the comments to a Fighters Only source in Abu Dhabi tonight.

11/04/10 - Anderson facing backlash from Brazilian fans for Maia slurs

Anderson Silva is facing a backlash from fans in his native Brazil after ringside microphones for the UFC 112 broadcast of his fight with Demian Maia apparently picked up Silva taunting his opponent in Portuguese, using terms which are considered very offensive in Brazil.

Portuguese-language MMA forums have been abuzz with discussion over the insults Silva levelled at Maia at points in the fight. The end of the second round is when he is said to have been most offensive, allegedly telling Maia "Bate na minha cara playboy" (“Come on, hit me in the face playboy.")

Odd as it sounds, ‘playboy’ is a serious insult in Brazil when levelled at certain targets. The stark class and economic divides in Brazil make for a wide gulf in status between the rich and poor. In Brazilian terms, a playboy is a hedonist rich kid, the product of a pampered upbringing who cares little for the poor and knows nothing of real life.

Anderson is also said to have cried out "Cade o Jiu-Jitsu?" ("Where is your Jiu-Jitsu?”) as Maia failed to get him to the floor, and also told him “Get up off your ass and get hit some more” when Maia dropped to his back looking to play guard.

According to the general tone on the major Brazilian MMA forums right now, Anderson has surprised and upset many of his fans with his comments. Maia told Fighters Only yesterday that Anderson had sworn at him during the fight but declined to go into detail about what was said.

That was a sporting and honourable thing for Maia to do but fans have already picked up on the comments are spreading them around the forums. So far this particular backlash has been confined to Brazilian fans but a poster named Gomes on Portal do Vale Tudo summed the feeling up:

“Wow, the guy went mad. American are usually super socially-conscious with this kind of discrimination, when they discover what he said, heads will fly. This guy has lost all notion of what you can do in a fight. This type of social/personal insult is the equivalent of ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson saying "I'll fuck until you love me, bitch!"

guys this is fighting you know Ray Leonards a little bitch according to Marvin Hagler

This isnt kindergarten

Oh he disrespected me in a fight, oh he was cussing at me

oh no

This fight was such a pathetic joke

"playboy" hurt your feelings, jesus this keeps getting more ridiculous as the minutes go by

HAHAHAHA!

I do agree though. Silva was being a fuckin prick. He needs to get his ass beat.

can you imagine Frank Mir going "Brock Lesnar called me a mother fucker!" It was very disrespectful

Maia shook his hand and hugged him after the decision if i remember correctly. I thought i heard Anderson say "I'm sorry" as well but maybe not.

None of that shit is neccesary but i'm sure fighters often shit talk each other in the cage. The heat is so much on Spider right now that if he gave a bad tip at Olive Garden we will probably get a huge report about it.

This just in Anderson Silva took a piss on a lady bug

fucking cock sucker

I think Anderson acted like a prick and handled the post fight interviews HORRIBLY but come on, lets not act like cussing in the cage or a ring is a big deal

He deserved it. He disrespected Anderson by thinking he might have a chance to win.

Honestly I would love to see someone beat Silva's ass and then immediately run outside the cage and knock Ed Soares the fuck out. Would be the greatest UFC in history

love Ninja's Sig.

Bird, you're a fucking playboy!







jk lol

It is a big deal actually, because under the unified rules it is a foul to use abusive language during a fight. Had Anderson been speaking english he probably would have been given a warning or had a point taken away.

There was a point where I really wanted to see Silva kick Maia in the face while he was down and get DQ'd. It would of been so cool.

I was hoping the doctor would stop the fight because of the cut on Maia'a nose. Just so I wouldn't have to watch that painful display any longer.

actually its up to the ref, know if they swear at you (the referee) its automatic DQ, but Ive seen a good amount of shit talking in a cage and ring.

Will be interesting to see it happen sometime

hey you cockaroach I bury you cockaroach nobody call me playboy ay way

You guys can't possibly be that ignorant...

"Playboy" etc. is a translation. You can't compare the usage of a word in English with its usage in another language.

If you typed "porch monkey" into Google Translate and said it to Anderson Silva in Portuguese, he would probably look at you like you're retarded. If you said it to Kimbo in English, he'd probably snap your neck.

Apparently we speak 'Merican round these here parts and nobody understands the whole lost in translation concept.

wow someones more sensitive than Maia

Haha nah, it's just that this place is the only place where anyone can have a semi-serious discussion about things sometimes. Apparently some things still not, though

hahaha I feel ya, pretty heated night, I already knew who won the fights and watched some guy that didnt know who won watch Edgar vs Penn after betting alot on Penn.

I don't find myself drawn to dickhead fighters. Saku was a great showman, but he was always a class act. But if fighters do douchey stuff in the ring, fine, I just won't like them. In combat sports, you're always gonna have that stuff. I'm sure worse things have been said in the ring

Again, Anderson is a jackass. I still want to see him fight GSP.

LOL who cares if he swore at you LOL. I didn't see this for whatever reason yesterday. I can't believe Maia went the "he called me names" route. How can a guy describe himself as a warrior than get hurtfaced when someone cusses at him. That's lame

Brazilian culture is a lot different than ours

I don't think the point is that his feelings were hurt, if they even were. If a guy will actually resort to namecalling in the octagon because you won't play his game when he baits you other ways, it's pretty fuckin' childish for a man 34 years old to try and boil your blood with insults. Anderson was clearly throwing a tantrum in the octagon because Maia wouldn't play the bull.
