Anderson could have a mental edge on Cormier

[Repsac]

Everyone who knows shit about the fight game knows it's 60% mental.

Cormier just been through an emotional rollercoaster and could be mentally drained.
Just watch Dana break the bad news to Cormier here:


He'd been training for this fight like his life depended on it. All of a sudden the rug is pulled from underneath him. Everything comes crashing down. Then the uncertainty of not knowing what's gonna happen. Different opponent names being tossed about. And now he's fighting Anderson fucking Silva who's coming into this mentally recharged with nothing to lose.

Cormier better clear the mental cobwebs real fast before he ends up in the spider's web.

Correction: 90% of fight game is half-mental.

 

[Haj01]

Well he has more titanium in him then Cormier. The titanium advantage is real!

I see what you did there.

Timmy would be proud.

 

[AminoAcid]

Really I thought it was 70%?

Get your facts straight. Geez.

The problem is Anderson has lost a lot of power over the years so even if he can land on point, I doubt he could even stun an average LHW, let alone one with a good chin.

The only way silva survives the first round is if Cormier takes it easy on him out of pity

That's what we all thought of Maldonando, Bisping ect.

 

[Viking Power]

Yeah, DC is an emotional guy I bet this took a lot out of him.

 

[Straightcross]

Yeah, DC is an emotional guy I bet this took a lot out of him.

He's also a family man, I bet when he saw his kids he forgot all about it. And he is genuinely excited about fighting Anderson

It's about tree fiddy percent

WTF are you basing this on? Power is typically the last to go.

Nick is nearly impossible to hurt, bisping was saved by the bell, and he didn't really land anything clean on Weidman.

I hope you're right. For his sake. Anderson may not be at his best but I think you still need to have your shit together to beat him.

Don't take it personal. Anderson just looks a lot weaker in his older age. Not stronger like Henderson and Couture. Sorry if I don't religiously subscribe to the "power is the last thing to go" myth. I like your successive excuses though. Nicely played.
