evans couldnt keep bisping down, do you really think he can hold anderson down?

Want to make excuses for Anderson? I can just make up an excuse that Rashad didn't even bother to train for Bisping. Rashad is a better takedown artist than Lutter, no doubt about it, and this clearly Anderson's weakness.

Even on the feet Rashad is quick enough and has a tough enough chin to close the distance than control Anderson on the ground.

Being a big chuck fan....i agree chuck has the power but Silva is too fast and precise.....i dont see chuck escaping the 2nd round on this one.

Rampage on the other had poses more problems....Technically his boxing is excellent and he has the power that goes with the technique so this fight would be very dangerous for Silva at 205.

I think that that he can KO Kang, Liddell and Rampage, with Cung Silva will submit him and with Machida the boring man will go to a UD to Silva and Rashad I think that he has the chance to give a real war to A. Silva but still A. Silva will win against anyone.

I just read an article that said Le was in talks with the UFC and might be on a UFC card by the middle of this year. I saw Cung Le at a fight aabout two months ago and he also mentioned that he was talking to the UFC and wanted to fight Silva and joked that only Asians can beat Silva...but he was just joking about that.

AND u having him ko ing everyone. unreal

You see Timmy, before Junie Browning was on this season of TUF and you started watching MMA there was this orginization called Pride. And Pride was a good org too. And in this Pride, Anderson Silva beat guys like:
Hayato Sakurai
Jeremy Horn
Jorge Rivera
and
Carlos Newton

And then when he came to the UFC he fought some guys named:
Rich Franklin (twice)
Nate Marquardt
and
Dan Henderson

Now I know you think that none of these guys are on Junie Brown's level, but trust me, they are pretty good. So believe it or not MMA was around before Junie Brown and this season of TUF and Anderson Silva has been fighting tough guys for a long time.

Also Timmy, I don't know if you know, but Mr. Silva walks around at about 220lbs and is about 6'3". making him a good sized 205er too.

So he's beat more guys then just Lutter and Cote and he's not really very outsized at 205 either. Now go sit in the corner and remember not to speak when grown folks are talking.

P.S.
If you say stupid stuff again I will throw a steak at your face.


P.P.S. Joe Stevenson is going to spank your "beast" Diego. That will be all.

Kang - 1st rd KO

Cung Le - 2nd rd KO

Machida - lopsided decision for the Spider

Rampage - 2nd rd TKO (via the knees as usual)

Liddell - 2nd rd KO (only a matter of time)

Rashad - decision (probably his closest fight due to Evans speed, power and "elusiveness")

I like how you mentioned that he switch stances for a fleeting moment and that's indicative of an automatic win in future rounds. It clearly didn't add up because Rashad didn't allow it to go to further rounds when he figured out Forrest.

Anyhow tell me the last fighter(s) that Anderson Silva chopped down with his kicks? Using your "Forrest was winning until he lost" logic - a dehydrated Travis Lutter was able to take down Silva and mount him, then a bigger faster Rashad can easily mount him and pound him out.

First off, I don't even like Forrest so its not like I'm trying to defend the guy. But Forrest was landing a bunch of stuff and was barely getting touched in return until the takedown in the 3rd. Also, you can't compare him to Lutter. Lutter had absolutely nothing going for him untill the takedown. His top control looked sloppy at best, he GnP, looked lazy and he swung for an armbar that was looser then a Tijuana hooker. So its a bad comparison. Yes Rashad won fair in square and the TKO was a clean nice one. He deserves the belt. But you make it sound like he was purposefully taking a beating because he knew he was going to TKO him. I don't think so. I think he was completely confused and frustrated until the takedown. And yes, Rashad switched stances a few times for more then just a moment. And it was always after a hard leg kick. Maybe it was strategy, but it looked like he was protected his leg. Who knows.
