How to beat Anderson Silva (HILARIOUS!)

I love that Griffin basically says you dont want to fight him

 

thats funny, thanks for posting

 

Best promo Ive seen for a while

 

Best promo UFC have ever done.

 

Funny! But that's the UFC admitting this is a joke fight and a mismatch, a little counter productive, no? Usually they will still try and hype it, like Bonner be a tough challenge, this was like saying basically man....you ain't gonna do ****!

 

Exactly. It seems whatever the UFC does people will criticize. They finally take the stance of honesty and reality with a fight. I love it. This fight wasn't planned, it was thrown together to save the Brazil card after Aldo got hurt. It's not for the championship. It isn't even at Anderson's weight class.

I will always watch Silva fight. Bonnar is tough as all hell, mentally and physically. He is big and strong and will bring the fight to Silva. Either we see a knockout, or we see Anderson get tested a bit. Either way, it will be worth watching.

But that video is completely honest. There is NO gameplan Bonnar can bring to this fight. All he can do is show up, and give his 120% best effort. :deal

 

Seriously now, it's gonna be a one sided beat down. Silva has probably been asked to push it out a few rounds, but truth is he could likely finish it when he wants. Bonner is nowhere near Silva's league, and he's been in many tough fights, I can see him getting cracked bad here.

That's basically the point, this isn't a fight they can sell, even the UFC top brass know this, thats why they are going this way with it. But looking at the bigger picture, these kinds of fights won't win the organisation many new fans. And there are starting to be far too many mismatches.

Don't get me wrong, i've been watching MMA for a long time, but the talent pool in the UFC is nowhere near where it should be. Yes injuries have taken it#s toll but still you find the title fight match ups too, is a kind of merry go round of past challengers only ever being a fight or two away from another shot because there is no one there.

 

To expand on your post. It's my opinion that this fight is less than a mismatch, then the Sonnen/Jones fight would've been. Given the styles of the fighters and which fighters are moving up in weight. Although the same fans bitching about this "last minute fight" being thrown together, were the ones crying that that "last minute fight" fell apart.
