Could Anderson Silva have accomplished more had he never joined the UFC?

AS versus Lesnar at dancing..............P4P dance offs.

 

I'd say his performances have been rather questionable, some very impressive beatings handed out to Franklin, Nate and Forrest while not doing much vs Leities, Cote, Maia and looking in a fair bit of trouble vs Lutter and Sonnen.

The real reason Anderson has picked up the P4P tag is that the UFC started to promote him under that label when they ran a Spike show to counter the first Affliction card featuring Fedor.

Right now I think GSP should clearly be in the #1 spot.

 

I guess he is rubbish then

 

Moreorless and moronocountry are trolls on this forum. Everyone would be well advised to add them to your ignore list so we can get back to discussing mixed martial arts instead of their agendas.

 

I am sad and I do admit to enjoying trolling Morono, He's a lesson in self ownage

 

Yep theres no middle ground between not thinking he's the P4P #1 and thinking he's rubbish.

 

Im just doin what dana White tells me too

 

I can't speak for individual opinion but I think its pretty clear that alot of Andersons hype as the P4P #1(and indeed the importance of that position) dates back to the Irvine fight.

 

And that's a bad thing? Fight promoters promote, I dont really get the controversy here

 

Well if part of the justifcation for ranking Anderson as the #1 P4P spot is that somewhere like Sherdog have him there then obviously the potential influence of a promoter is going to damage that.

Monaro is pretty obviously a much less amusing and sucessful version of Bloodstaine who'd believe James Thompson had a shot at the WGP if he signed with M1 and imported a few K1 DVD's but that doesnt mean taking up the opposing viewpoint is correct.

 

Dont take it personally then.

 

Seems like you took it personally before I did with the original sarcastic one liner reply.

 

Me sarcastic....never! Thanks again for telling me what Im thinking
