Anderson vs LHWs compared to the “new breed” MWs

[TheSpider]

Anderson destroyed 3 LHWs in the 1st round, including a former LHW champ (one fight removed from being champ) in the greatest performance in MMA history



41 year old, post leg break, fresh off gallbladder surgery Silva vs prime LHW champ (future LHW/HW double champ) DC on 2 days notice


“New breed” MW Luke Rockhold was stiffened by a LHW who has never been champ


“New breed” MW Chris Weidman was stiffened by a LHW who has never been champ


“New breed” MW Jacare Souza was decisioned in Brazil by a LHW who has never been champ


Face it Silva haters, there will never be a better MW than the MW GOAT Anderson Silva

I think prime Silva KOs a fading DC in the championship rounds

They weren't hailed as “new breed” MWs by Silva haters

Spider is goat mw, but no version of him beats my boy chris.

Wasn't Forest on drugs and concussed for that fight?

 

[tenniswhiz]

The only true “new breed” MMA fighter is Todd Duffee.
The rest are poseurs.

Prime Silva stiffens Chris

38 year old Silva would have also stiffened Chris if he wasn’t clowning so much. Chris was starting to fade (as per usual) and Anderson was landing at will while stuffing all of his slow, telegraphed TDs in the 2nd round

It happened bro. Rewatch the fight

Silva moved up in his prime, against mostly bums. Weidman and Rockhold moved up after their chins got cracked multiple times.

 

[Chagaev]

I watched Silva during his reign and he was more hot and cold that people care to admit.

I can see a guy like Jacare winning a decision if Silva was on an off night.

Isn’t it fighter bashing (and completely dishonest) to call professional MMA fighters who fought in the UFC “bums”?

Are you calling prime Forrest Griffin who had just come off submitting Shogun, beating prime Rampage, and won the first 2 rounds vs prime Rashed before getting caught a “bum”?

You do know these “bums” would stiffen a keyboard warrior like you in under 10 seconds right?

jan would easily beat anderson. probably knock him out.

its a shame anderson never had the balls to go for the lhw belt though.

 

[Andreh]

Anderson could have easily taken the LHW belt whenever he wanted (until Jones become champ) but didn’t want to get in the way of his friend Lyoto Machida reclaiming the belt.

Prime Silva beats every MW and LHW who ever lived except perhaps Jones
