Now that you've cleaned the drool from your mouth after that insane Anderson Silva KO of Vitor Belfort, there's just one question that remains -- who's left? At the post-fight press conference, Anderson Silva confirmed that Steven Seagal helped him with the exact kick that knocked out Belfort at UFC 126. Finally, Under Siege has returned on the main stage to successfully render Vitor Belfort unconscious for a short duration of time.

I'm not even sure what to type a this point. What can be said about Anderson Silva that hasn't already been said about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The guy is explosive, destructive and essentially levels any object in his path. It's silly to not consider Anderson Silva anything other than the greatest MMA fighter of all time. To deny that fact would be to deny a part of your own soul. The part that recognizes greatness.

Amazing win by Anderson Silva and according to Dana White, it looks like we're going to see Georges St. Pierre vs. Anderson Silva at middleweight sometime this year.

Numero Uno Fighter in the World.

NO Contest.

GSP, Fedor and Reem are right there with him, but neither are as spectacular and technical as this guy-- and you have to look at the company he's in. It's almost blasphemy to say someone is more technical than Reem and GSP. But it's fucking true.

GSP/Ando this fall. Ando/Reem at catch weight or LHW should be on tap next-- and I will allow Ando to retire. What a fucking career that would be. It's hard as fuck to top what he's already done, but shit, man...

Fucking incredible. Out of fucking no where

Overeem, arguable.

Fedor? REALLY?

When was the last time Anderson got caught so bad he lost? When was the last time The Reem got caught so bad he lost? GSP?

If Fedor wasn't the rightful owner of Numero 4-- then why the fuck did he lose in a position he knew better?

Everyone who's ranked above him have come back and righted the injustices they've faced.

Until Fedor wins the GP, He's number four.

reem would have to cut off one of his legs to make catch weight, or else ando would have to go on the super size me diet, even if reem makes it to the ufc, thats one fight i dont see happening. i do wanna see ando/shogun and ando/jones, but ando is getting old fast!!

Ando can easily make LHW, and Overeem has fought at LHW before- wasn't worth a shit, but that's why we should bank on a catch weight greater than LHW limit.

Yes it is, he's just gotta start eating ponies instead.





edit: I also keep saying CATCH WEIGHT, Not true LHW. So we're looking at something between 205-225, it's a fair trade off, though it favors Ando in the energy department-- but Ubereem would still retain a lot of his power.

I'm a big Fedor fan as well, but I don't consider him a technical kind of guy.

He's such a fucking monster that it appears that he's technical, and of course at some point you have to consider the shit he does technical-- but IMO, he's not as technical as GSP or Overeem.

He's just a big, bad fucking dude that will break your face or any other object that's growing out of your torso.

Fedor is the greatest fighter of all time but even right now he is the best he has one legit loss and it was a fluke
I see what you mean but I think sometimes he seems untechnical but he really is precise and powerful strikes earthquake causing GNP and great submissions but most important it's all technical the only time he wasn't technical he got subbed
don't wanna take away from Anderson or what he did but Fedor is the best

We can disagree then, lol

His grappling, of course is technical. One of the greatest grapplers on the scene, with his immense power.

But that's the point I see in the technical aspect. Brute power and force. It translates so well into his grappling and take downs, but when he's standing up-- I just see it as more of a "Don't get hit by this guy, even once" sort of thing, instead of say a Silva/GSP sort of thing where they set you up for shots, and look for counters- by the 10s, they don't have the one punch power Fedor has to destroy you and your brain cells.

I just don't view it as technical striking. Dude's take downs are a different story though.

Whether you view it as technical striking or not is irrelevant. Fedor's striking style is unorthodox, but technically sound. Look up sambo casting to see why.

+2 # 1251 2011-02-06 13:52

Technically sound, and technical striking are not the same thing.

Throwing a mean, picture perfect hook is technically sound. It doesn't have to be a technical shot.

To deny Fedor bum rushes dudes a fair amount of time is ridiculous. That's what makes him such a threat is his explosiveness and following power.

He doesn't sit back and look for opportunities the majority of the time like Anderson would do. He doesn't stick and move, avoiding people's power shots for 5 rounds like GSP does, because Fedor doesn't have to. He can take your punch, and there's a 75% chance you can't take his.

That's not technical. That's brute force.

Same here. Cant fuckin Deny what Fedor has accomplished. Something NO ONE Else has ever done, even A. Silva, who still has 4 losses, one of them being a fuckin sick Sub outta no weres. I just cant/couldnt see Anderson taking it to Fedor an walkin away with the W. GSP, tuff to call. Fuckin HUGE GSP fan, but Ando is just on another Level I THINK.

its ridiculous to ask gsp to permanantly move up to 185, he usually walks around 190, so it wont be a big deal for him, why would ufc let penn keep his 155lb belt and let him fight for WW title ? and strip st peirre off his belt ? everybody wants silva/gsp, win or lose i dont see why gsp has to stay at 185 after that superfight, its retarded!!!

At the time, the LW division hadn't really fleshed out yet. Frankie and Gray were just starting their rise to fame, and Kenneth and Joseph were on Rabies Jay's menu.

And in all honesty-- it was a really fricken smart business decision. Hindsight proves that for us.

This fight is also a smart business decision, and it's gonna pay off big time.

Don't count GSP out. While GSP has faced very talented strikers-- he's never fought a striker like Silva. And at the same exact time: Silva has NEVER fought anyone as well rounded as GSP. GSP can survive on his feet, or on the ground-- he's proven it against vicious strikers, and vicious ground games over and over.

And again, GSP, himself-- wants a challenge. He's not getting it at WW. Personally, I think the MW scene sucks if Ando leaves. GSP would be great for it. Guys like Nate and Okami wouldn't be able to handle his speed. Imagine what GSP could do against Maia. Hell, we could see GSP/Wand!

lol i guess im in the minority, but i feel that after silva fight, gsp has no compelling opponents at MW, he wont fight nate the great, he would lose a wrestling match to sonnen, his fight with maia sounds kinda boring to me, brian stann, wand ? ehh gsp has been around ww for so long it feels weird to see him at MW, but like you said, there is nothing for him at WW either, except for rematches.

Personally-- I wanna see him get out wrestled.

It's been nearly a decade since Hughes crushed his dreams.

Fights like that make me wanna see what will happen, just like tonight. I didn't wanna count Vitor out because I like the guy-- I had goosebumps during the introductions because I just did not know what was gonna happen.

So don't count GSP out against anyone. Dude may be a lot shorter than most the MW guys, but look at Frankie @ LW. Out works nearly everyone he faces.

He has no one else to fight. GSP has already clean out the division 2x. After the GSP fight and if he wins, Anderson should move up LHW for the same reason.

I'm sorry, but I really just watched someone post (and then defend, multiple times) a belief that Overeem could cut to 205-225?

Have you seen him in the last few years?

He could cut one of his massive limbs off and not be able to make 225.

And besides, it's not like I bleieve that fight would ever happen. It's just on my list of things Ando must do to retire properly.

Still think Overeem could do it. Dudes a professional, and it's not like he's cutting 50 or 60lbs to make 205. He'd cut 20-30 max(i have no idea what the catch limit would actually be), and I guarantee you he'd fight comfortably.

(also, he fought and beat Vitor @ 210 catch weight)

He fought Belfort at 210 years ago. He can't do that now. You can't possibly look at the man as he stands today and say he could lose 45 pounds to make a 220 catchweight.

-1 # 1251 2011-02-06 13:47

AGAIN, Never said it had to be 220. Could technically be a HW fight, if Anderson doesn't wanna cut weight for a LHW encounter.

Regardless, your and other's opinions based on if Overeem could make the weight is just ignorant. I'm not claiming to be his fucking manager or trainer like you guys are-- but I don't think a guy that has done it before, and will be paid to do it has any problems shedding pounds.

To say it's impossible, is just stupid.

This. However, I really thought Vitor would have taken it to Ando. They both seemed to apprehensive at the start, an the longlayoff didnt help Vitor, not to say that he would have ended up winning if he had fought only a couple months ago. As much as I fuckin HATE to admit it, Ando is on another level then 99% of fighters, and it is waaaay to hard to say whos truly the best between Fedor/Ando/GSP, with all 3 making amazing arguements for the title of GOAT. For me, its still Fedor>GSP>Ando or Fedor>Ando>GSP, until Fedor gets defeats again at least.

Not to say Im not or wouldnt be stoked to see GSP/Ando, I dunno, Im a fuckin HUGE GSP fan, but unless he does it right, the way he wants to, take the time & move up perm. with proper weight gains, strength training ect., just dont see him beating Ando. otherwise.

For the love of GAWDit's not a front kick. It's a rear leg snap kick while flexing the hips for extra power. A front kick is FROM THE FRONT LEG, Anderson lands it with the REAR leg.
