Regardless of who you are a fan of, tonight’s fight between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman probably left you feeling rather empty on the inside. For Chris Weidman fans tonight was Weidman’s chance to prove that he really is the UFC Middleweight Champion and that all of his hard work has paid off, that he’s
A Redditer took this shot of Anderson Silva as he was being carted away in a stretcher shortly after UFC 168, and you simply don’t know the definition of pain until you gazed in the expression of The Spider in this photo. If a picture of worth a thousand words, this photo is worth an
As soon as the fight ended I ran immediately in the office and just started writing this article. When I heard everyone gasp, I ran out and saw Anderson Silva’s leg bend and fold in some truly unnatural and bizarre way. Silva’s entire appendage contorted like some Las Vegas circus act, and it cost him
I would take any gift Anderson Silva wanted to give me. Anything. He could give me a front kick to the face and I would end up saying, “Thank you, Spider.” Anderson Silva seems like a pretty generous guy, and this video of him hypothetically giving out gifts to UFC champions and Wanderlei Silva hypothetically
I’ve been in La-La Land, cruising on easy street. Just took a right at the spork on the road, and I passed the School of Hard Knocks. All of this metaphorical traveling just to evade the fact that Anderson Silva is no longer the UFC middleweight champion and Chris Weidman knocked The Spider out cold
Pub quiz questions are always stupidly difficult for me because the things that people see as common knowledge often completely pass me by. Ask me about MMA or something and I’ll (usually) hit you with my knowledge but I couldn’t tell you things like how many number one singles Justin Timberlake has had as a
Earlier this year we showed you this video of a faux Anderson Silva singing Neil Young’s ‘Heart of Gold,’ except he cleverly changed the words around while maintaining that ridiculous Spider accent. Reactions were mixed, some of you guys thought the concept was novel but the inflection was just poorly executed. Well it appears that
Here’s your Brazilian cultural lesson for today: If you call someone a ‘Mamma’s Boy’, you better back it up by dancing around for the next ten minutes. That’s the only way your insult can fully be realized. In Brazil, all personal and family insults are accompanied with a dance number. That’s how Carnival gets started
It’s October 31st 2013, exactly 117 days since Chris Weidman knocked out Anderson Silva at UFC 162 and my brain still refuses to comprehend that it actually happened. I’ve been conditioned to symbiotically associate Anderson Silva with the phrase ‘UFC middleweight champion’ ever since he TKOd Rich Franklin at UFC 64. Chris Weidman being considered
It’s the moment you never thought would happen, mainly because you never truly believed the UFC would allow Chael Sonnen to be a coach on TUF Brazil, held inside Brazil. Shortly after Anderson Silva’s superb performance against Chael Sonnen at UFC 148, The Spider actually invited Chael Sonnen out to his BBQ in Brazil to
The only super fight that can necessarily be considered a ‘superfight’ is a bout between Batman vs. Superman — and there’s no comic book universe imaginable that says Batman will emerge victorious. Superman is a friggin’ alien that’s virtually invincible. Batman is a rich middle-aged dude that’s a recluse. It’s not even a contest. However
The greatest thing about Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman is that Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman II is going down in just three months at UFC 168. That will help us determine whether what transpired at UFC 162 was pure MMA ingenuity by Chris Weidman, or if it was an absolute fluke. This fight can
I wonder if Herb Dean cuts his dredlocks or do they know the appropriate time to end growing in a manner that won’t do damage to his hair? After UFC 162 we knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried — most people were silent. I remember
According to Brian Ebersole, the arrow on his chest is pointing to his chin to let opponents know how to defeat him. That’s the equivalent of a me having a neon sign pointing to my empty wallet whenever I go on a date to alert the chick they will eventually pay for everything. My friend
Yesterday we showed you a video of Anderson Silva appearing with Sway on Shade 45 and he said that he simply didn’t respect Floyd Mayweather. Now today we have a video of Floyd responding to Anderson Silva’s statement, and apparently Floyd Mayweather genuinely doesn’t know who Anderson Silva is. Perhaps he’s playing the same ‘who?’
It’s pretty wild knowing that on September 14th someone’s 40+ record of perfection will come to a screeching halt. Granted Floyd Mayweather’s 44-0 record is far more impressive than Canelo’s 42-0, but Canelo is 13 years younger than PBF and one can only assume that will play a factor on fight night. My money is
