If Anderson fights anyone but Chael, is it fair to say he's ducking Chael???

Wut....is that a joke ?

I would say Chael deserves a shot at Silva if he can first beat a bonafide grappler. Not a guy who is extremely dangerous at stand up, but virtually helpless off his back.

To me, it sounds like you have too much invested in your positive feelings for Chael. I feel its perfectly reasonable for him to win another match, but this time against a good submissions fighter before he earns a title shot, something that people generally have to earn via victories.

 

So let me get this right.

Silva beats Sonnen last year.

With a broken rib.

Whilst Sonnen was on the juice.

So how does beating a healthy Silva beating a (presumably) non-cheating Sonnen add anything to his legacy?

I'm not saying don't do the fight - its the money fight. But that's all it is. We already know who is the better man and that's Anderson for the way he defeated despite the deck being stacked in Sonnen's favour.

 

Nice thread One Punch

 

Nice post One Punch, do you copy and paste or actually retype each time you make the same post?

 

Anderson was dominated 4.5/5th against sonnen. Logic says Sonnen deserves a rematch just for making the champion look stupid almost the entire fight. We know Sonnen wasn't a fluke because he kept the champ on his back and on the defensive the entire fight, except when Silva finally was able to get a choke in, but was the choke just a fluke? Silva needs to address this.

 

The juice thing is so fukin ******ed. Wow, Sonnen had doctor's prescribe him enough testosterone that an average man has. Sorry a point higher. LOL What a cheat!!!! LOL If anyone had any education about this they would understand a point means FUK ALL. Even a couple points means fuk all in terms of strength, muscle size and performance.

How come Nate Maruat did the same thing twice and is banned from MMA, he took drugs he cheated, he lost.

 

WTF? You were the guy who was claiming that Sonnen's laying on top of Silva for 4 rounds was domination and started the "Spider beating Sonnen another time puts him ahead of Fedor" thread

 

Ugh. Haggis please don't fall into this stupid trap that gotard pro wrestling fans fall into where you think that "ducking" matters at all. It means even less in the UFC than in boxing (where it means almost nothing most of the time) because in the UFC the fighters don't pick who they fight, they fight who they're told by the matchmaker. Best system you can have really to make sure that good fights happen on a regular basis. In boxing it's more complicated and has to do with money and **** rather than one guy being "scared" of another, though that doesn't stop people from seizing on it as an excuse to **** talk and flame (which is really the reason a lot of people post here).

 

Who's talking about Dan Henderson? I was talking about matching Chael vs. Stann. If you match Chael with guys who really don't have BJJ experience, and are far lesser wrestlers, what do you expect is going to happen? There are already other better fighters in line for Anderson Silva like Munoz.

You have your own WWE modeled perspective of how guys should earn their title shots that is based off of hype, **** talk and drama. I don't. I think the wrestler prototype is the toughest match for Silva. Guys that can take him down and lay on him will have a good shot at winning, which is why back when it happened, I actually thought Henderson would beat Silva. But Chael isn't the only guy who does this sort of thing. He just talks a bunch of **** in the process. In reality his record is a bit spotty, his bane has been submission fighters. Anderson has become so well rounded he is capable of beating every style out there.
