I mean, the guy is just amazing to watch... yet on top of that he has to be one of the best sports that I have ever seen. He almost looked disgusted with himself that he beat Franklin like that in front of his home crowd. I would LOVE to see A. Silva vs Dan Henderson. That would be a great fight, and I would have to favor Henderson.
I wanna see Silva vs Filho. Yea, he was great there today. Not to take away anything from Silva, but Franklin falls into Silvas game perfectly. Theres nothing Franklin can do to overtake Silva.
Silva is an animal when it comes down to striking. he has talent and instinct to kill. Ive never seen anyone move so fluidly throwing kicks a odd angles & with nasty accuracy. he moves very very well.
Im just wondering who he fights next. Obviously hes done with Franklin,Henderson says he wants to stay at 205,Evan Tanner what happened to him ?,Nate Marquadt been there done that, Maybe Okami because the record books do say Okami has a win over Silva.
I think Henderson would a great matchup, especially since the log jam at 205. at 185 Henderson would get a shot soon. considering there is nobody else who stands out. besides Okami who I think would give Silva a good go.
Seriously, this fight was the most entertaining fight ive seen in a while. I haven't been into the fight this much since Couture-Sylvia. What Silva was pulling there was just crazy. Bobbing in weaving made my night...
Henderson vs. Sliva would be a borefest on account of Henderson but as Dana White put it last night, Henderson is "hard-headed" and won't go down to 185 lbs.
I forgot about that ..how about that the bobbing and weaving he did with his hands down. The guy is entertaining to watch and he threw some lethal combinations at different angles, to the legs, to the head,body, to finish off Franklin. Like I said before, Silva is the type of guy that he beats his opponents down, and he does it with style, but brutally at the same time. Not many guys go in there throwing punches with true intentions to hurt the other guy...his combinations are lethal.
that combo he did to finish franklin off was beastly right hook, left straight, left leg kick, clinch and two knees to the dome
Thats the scary thing, Rich seemingly fought as well as he could, no glaring mistakes like last time, Anderson Silva just appears to be this good for real.
I agree! For the first minute or two I thought Franklin was doing a really good job. Syliva kicked it into high gear and demolished him. The competition is pretty weak in that division for Silva now. Okami may give him a LITTLE trouble, but I think he'll be champion for possibly years to come. Franklin should fight Machida to try and beat the only other person to defeat him. Side notes- Watch the Franklin post interview on UFC.com. He is seen with Silva in the lockerroom and Silva is saying he's "so sorry".... Franklin hugs him and says, "it's okay baby, it's your job". Those are two of the most stand-up guys in MMA, no doubt. Franklin's nose was broken again, but he said at least it isn't too bad.
