I don't think Anderson ever wanted to make a serious run at 205 since Machida was the champion when he beat Forrest, then Machida lost but Shogun got hurt and then Chael came along and then Shogun lost to Jones and Anderson deep down definitely wanted no part of that.
Andersen and Machida didn't want to fight each other. A Ryu and Ken kinda thing. Then Shogun came and Andersen was willing to fight him but Shogun got his soul eaten by Jones.I really think Anderson could have held the LHW and MW belts simultaneously at one point.
Conor is transcendent. Conor is the biggest draw MMA has seen since Brock. Conor is Conor. Anderson is Greatest Fighter who has ever fought in the UFC.
Conor bless.
Glad I could clear that up for you TS
Conor bless.
Wtf u talking bout! While having some fights at LHW, Ando kept his belt until he got ktfo for being stupid.
Dana did let Anderson keep his MW title, while fighting at LHW.
Anderson was allowed to compete at 205 several times while keeping his 185 belt so what are you going on about?
Silva fought 3 times at LHW. Last I checked, he was never stripped of the title for doing so.
