I was posting here immediately after the fight. I even made an AV/Sig bet on the CC/GSP fight with Stoo. Anderson winning really doesn't bother me. The competition is what bothers me. He has two "quality" wins in his entire career.
If it's the competition that bothers you how come you were so confident for instance that Chael Sonnen could beat Spider? Seems Sonnen was more than good enough opposition according to you. Good enough to win according to you But Sonnen lost (twice). Just like all of Spider's other UFC opponents.

Okami? Overrated. Nate is a legit WW. Lutter? Seriously? Hendo was a great win @ MW due to his track record at that weight. Belfort was a decent win. Nothing special. Sonnen gave him hell for 4 minutes. Franklin, Because of who he was at the time and what he achieved in the division, is Anderson's best win in the UFC (IMO). He's not in the same league as Fedor, though. Fedor's wins over Nog (Who was the UNIVERSAL No.1 Heavy in the world) and Crocop (Who was in his prime, who was killing everybody and was the No.2 recognised HW in the world) are the best this sport has seen. And he beat Nog and Mirko at their own games. It doesn't get sweeter than that... And he did all of that bu training in school playgrounds. :good
