    Why did Anderson Silva fall so rapidly?

    Someone actually hit him

    He cherrypicked the wrong wrestler

    Chris was on his way out of there, IMO. He looked lost once the fight got back to the feet.

    Anderson just played around, which was the wrong thing to do.

    The rematch? That's one of those crazy moments that turned out to be the nail in the career of his coffin.

    It was perhaps the biggest fall from grace in the history of the sport


    Goes into the Weidman fight looking like Neo from The Matrix

    Then in the space of 3 fights.....


    1. Gets KOd in humiliating fashion

    2. Get's TKOd in horrific fashion

    3. Gets popped for roids fighting a welterweight


    If there's been a bigger fall from grace in the history of the sport, i'd like to see it


    The division is insanely stacked at the top tier now

    Would have been incredible seeing Anderson against the top middleweights of today, not the **** weak division it was when he was Matrix dominating

    The steroids/peds are clearly from nursing his leg.

    But the rest of your post is spot on.

    Andy vs Jacare could have been really good.

    Chris Weidman happened to him. Shattered his chin and then his shin.
