It's not all silva's fault the fight was boring. Leites was a lil biatch and didn't want to fight. He was scared of getting knockout by silva. anyways here's the best part of the fight This content is protected
Leites wasn't pushing the fight hard because he is NOT a stand up fighter. Silva IS the stand up guy he had a gigantic advantage on the feet. I think people would have been just as mad at Leites if the fight was mostly spent on the ground and Leites didn't do anything but Lay'N'Pray. Leites then would have had the huge advantage.
the problem is he didnt even tried that much to take down silva. He tried couple of times then decided to stop. If he would at least took down silva and tried to fight him on the ground it would have been better. It's not very hard to take down silva. Lutter did it who was a BJJ fighter and leites was supposedly a better BJJ fighter than lutter. He could have at least fought like lutter.
Lets be honest about this, Anderson knows what hes doing. Leites was ready for a highlite reel flying knee from rd 4 on. This is interesting mind games between Silva and Dana. Heres a question, how much is Silva getting paid in comparison to other marquee guys in the UFC? How much would a RJJ fight fetch Silva?
Dana should be mad, since the UFC needs fighters who can draw big audiences. Hopefully he'll make him move up in weight and fight real competition.
If it is, then it's mindless on Silva's part. He won't get out of his contract any sooner, he'll no longer headline UFC cards and he'll decrease the marketability of an eventual Jones jr. fight.
