Anderson was a sick fighter in his prime. I wish he'd never lost to somebody like Weidman.

Good for the show

Lol asinine technicality? I don't hate Silva by any stretch of the imagination, but that was a very grounded opponent. Not even like Teh Chris playing games with Mousasi grounded (or rather not grounded as the replay showed), but like "What made you think it was ok to through an upkick from there?" grounded.

when they wrote the rule "no head kicks to a grounded opponent", this is not what they meant. that kick should be legal, it was not an up kick and the opponent was on his back.

 

[NoSmilez]

To be honest, I think he didn't make as much as he should be worth. All the pre-WME fighters got stiffed

"Chris has my hespect now. Chris is the best."

Imagine how hard that was for him to say. Truly a great man. When the "sport" was suffering, he stepped up by stepping down. GOAT.

Agree, there is absolutely no reason to make a kick like that illegal. They got so many rules that make no sense, like that 1, that protect wrestlers.

Truly a man of values higher than his bank account. And he passed the torch instead of retiring like some certain GOATs

They were both grounded. I get that those are the rules, but he fucking head kick knocked out his opponent while in guard. Not hitting a grounded opponent is one thing, but if you are on your back, you should be able to head kick your opponent. It's barely even possible to knock out your opponent with a head kick while in guard. If you can do it, have at it.

Anderson GOAT

Don't blame him, he's following the footsteps of his idols.

Haha I feel like people think I hate Silva or something. I really don't. I probably agree with you that upkicks from there should be legal. They would make fights more exciting. But I still think calling that a technicality is a little silly. It was pretty blatantly against the rules as they are written....

It’s a shame Georgie never accepted the fight even though he had multiple chances to take it.

He was such a creative fighter.
