THAT'S RIGHT ANDERSON SILVA WON.

I think he's playing the long game, wanted to test himself. He could have turned Diaz into a highlight reel if he wanted to.

Silva had a few opportunities to put Diaz away but decided not to. His confidence isn't there.

 

[alr1ght]

Silva was supposed to get a title shot with that win. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

 

[Maintenance]

Disapointed with the lack of gifs, GAF

Almost nothing in this fight was gif worthy.

 

[Lion Heart]

I can't hespek that.

 

[sfedai0]

Judging by how many times both guys mentioned "putting on a a good show", Im gonna assume this whole thing was per-meditated by both parties and Dana, to allow a graceful sendoff for Silva. And Diaz? He's just there to collect a paycheck.

WWE indeed.

 

[coleco]

It's sad you could tune in the ufc ten years ago and you would find the same fighters, same production, same commentators and most probably same ring girls.

I really really hope this doesn't happen.

Love Diaz. Stood toe-to-toe with "the greatest striker in mama history." And what does Diaz get...boos after the fight. Smh. Guys like Diaz would have been loved in Japan like Sakuraba, Minowa, Penn, guys who are true warriors. I had Nick winning 2 rounds. Much respect to Diaz.

Nope. He did not. Diaz was ready for him everytime. Don't get fooled by the weak scar tissue.

 

[iqubal]

Best part of tonight's UFC was those 2 hotties at the end.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

I really really hope this doesn't happen.

Yup. Silva should hang it up and ride off into the sunset with his money.

 

[strikeselect]

Diaz didn't get Forrest Griffin'd so that's an automatic win. Honestly, if it wasn't for Nick this fight would've been boring as hell.

 

[kamorra]

I hate the Diaz brothers with a passion but he's not wrong.

Diaz did not win a single round of that fight. Domination from start to finish. He was funny, though.

Smh. The state of mama fans nowadays.

 

[Kusagari]

I really don't want to see the Wildman knock out Anderson again.

Ma man.

Noticed them honeys too.

I'm not saying it was a great fight, but like, da fuck you talking bout?

 

[iLLmAtlc]

“That was one of the big problems with boxing,” White continued. “You’d get all fired up for the fight that was about to happen, you and your buddies would buy the pay per view, and then the two guys would get in there and chase each other around. They wouldn’t fight. And you’d walk away going, those mother (expletive), they did it to me again."

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

What we need is an interim champion.

 

[v1lla21]

Ma man.

Noticed them honeys too.

Fuck, where the screen grabs at?

Silva should just retire though. Best for him to leave now.

The one on the left was a 10/10 damn

 

[alr1ght]

By the time that fight would happen, Anderson would be 45.

 

[BadAss2961]

Very impressive... UFC has mastered the art of snoozefest PPVs.

 

[No Love]

Diaz was a bitch, all his lame-ass taunting was for nothing. Go back to Stockton, dumbass.

 

[VoxPop]

Glad Silva got past the mental road block. I'm sure he didn't want to fall into one of Diaz's traps. Diaz was absolutely disappointing. The volume striker of yesteryear was nowhere to be seen. Huge balls on him though. Had Silva winning that fight 49-46 losing round 2. I don't think Silva should jump into the title picture right away though. Maybe one more tune up right against someone like Yoel Romero or Rockhold if he gets past Machida.

 

[Keyser Soze]

As someone without acess to PPV or anything else, I have to say that I am disapointed with the lack of gifs, GAF

 

[yoplay]

I'm not saying it was a great fight, but like, da fuck you talking bout?

I bolded it for u. It wasn't domination. U need ur eyes checked. It was a complete moral victory for Diaz, who was thrown in there after a 2 year lay-off as a sacrificial lamb for Silva.

And get rid of those knee kicks. Such a dirty strike.

 

[Loomba]

I got Rockhold beating Anderson imo

 

[Panzon]

I hate the Diaz brothers with a passion but he's not wrong.

Nick did not win any rds. I hated this fight as much as the next guy but Nick was a huge disappointment tonight. This kinda shit is what he criticised Carlos Condit and the UFC for doing, which is running away.

He goes blah blah blah about how he stood there waiting for Anderson to do something but at the end of the day he's the one who stalled the fight and looked like he didn't wanna be in that octagon

 

[~Kinggi~]

Went out to a bar to watch this. I dont watch UFC at all, but Silva seemed like a real class act, and Diaz a total asshat. Everyone was rooting for Silva as well.

 

[Tabris]

The first 2 rounds were really exciting.

 

[iddqd]

Listening to the Sherdog radio channel,
I like their idea of
RAMPAGE vs. Anderson.

Keep him out of 185 and give him a plodding guy that he can dance around.

Diaz the same, keep him at 185 and give him Leites.

Silva is anything but a class act. His fight with Maya is all you need to see.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Yeah i dont watch the sport at all and i thought someone alluded to Silva acting this way in the past but at face value for a newbie it wasnt a good look for Diaz.

 

[VoxPop]

What did he do against Maia? He thoroughly dominated him and Maia laid on his back the entire fight, and only started engaging out of desperation at the end of the fight. Silva went for the finish plenty of times in that fight. It's Silva's problem that Maia can't fight standing worth a shit and can't even take a fighter down to where he can actually do something? He should just grapple for a living.

Diaz is insane no doubt.

Someone do gods work and post a GIF of them please.

diaz is the furthest thing from a bitch. diaz is fucking awesome

 

[HabeeNo]

Only GIF moment of the fight was Diaz falling on the 1st round.

Also, dope picture here

Silva is the GOAT, haters can hate as much as they want. This man is the most dangerous and most entertaining fighter in the business, 39 years of age or not.

 

[Reg]

Good fight I thought. I'm a big fan of both Silva and Diaz.

Sacrificial lamb?
Silva was out because of a serious injury for well over a year.
Diaz was out because he is a loser assed head case who quit and walked away because he could not get his meds one day or something.
Diaz wanted this fight just as much, a win for him would have been huge even though Silva was a zombie in his last two fights.

 

[Hex]

diaz is the furthest thing from a bitch. diaz is fucking awesome

He is also holding that L nice and close to his chest.

 

[Lazyslob]

well he believes he won so i dont think it matters to him haha

 

[abstract alien]

I could only imagine how great it felt for Silva to recover, return, and win after such a bad injury. Mentally and physically, I commend the man. Most would not be able to do what he did. Those tears had to have felt nice.
