I mean, around 07/08 people claimed the UFC was protecting him fron Lindland and Kang. Seriously.
Was that the year his mother/aunt passed away? If you remember, the haters were bashing him for using his mother's sickness as an excuse to skip a seminar.

A fight between Silva and Lindland would have been good, but Kang? No way.

Damn, why do you hate Anderson so much that you have to talk garbage?

I vaguely remember something to that effect. Meh, with so much dumb shit thrown around you kind of get jaded.

The Kang thing was because Pride had just ended. Silva wasn't legit until he fought Hendo (win dismissed as some kind of fluke apparently), Filho (Silva was accused of ducking him too), Kang and Misaki. Then those guys started to get beat and Lindland was almost murdered by Vitor so haters needed new idols.

You know who he is. You bitch about him on a daily basis.

Its basically the only fight people are calling for and his management is chasing fights with the CUng Le's of the world isntead of the #2 guy on a 5 fight win streak thats calling him out in the media over and over.

This is the fight I want most fans want to see. This is the fight that makes the most sense. Most people just want Anderson to accept the fight and the uproar will die down.
the train the outrage is so ridiculous is because it's the same song everytime Silva fights somebody. they're the second coming and Silva is running. just be patient, Weidman will get his shot and get blasted. then you will move on to the next anointed one with the holy grail skillset to beat Silva

Randy was pretty much done at that point though, and he didn't have anywhere near the chin Hendo does, nor did he have anywhere near the ability to finish fights that Hendo does. I would say Hendo is much closer to Rampage (in terms of quality of opponent) than Randy at that time. Hendo's been able to land that bomb in each of his last six fights, from MW to HW, so I don't think he's quite as slow as you make him out to be.
