I mean.. Cormier is no joke. Perhaps one of the best LHW there has ever been. He was toying with heavyweights, won the Strikeforce GP, and has been beaten by one man only.. Jon Jones, one of the GOATS.
Now think about it. Anderson coming off a broken leg (which is still haunting him, he said it after the bisping fight), at 40 fuckin years old, decides to seize the opportunity to move up a weight class once more in order to face the LHW champion on 2 days notice.
Even if it's for the money, it's a pretty big risk considering his age and his time spent in the ring. How come his family did not prevent him to make this foolish fight i'll never know.
Anyway, has there been a similar insanity ?
I'm thinking of Saku vs Wanderlei, cause the fool faced him 3 times knowing that Wandy was a bigger man and a pretty proven savage (and the result ? 3 TKOS/KOS in the first round)
Also Randy vs Sylvia was kinda crazy when you remember the context..
