Andy Silva reigned over a weak division.

[Enders]

Am I missing something? Why do people make this claim?

Rich Franklin
Nate Marquardt
Hendo
Damian Maia
Forrest Griffin
Chael Sonnen

and

TRT Vitor for fucks sake


In what universe is this a weak lineup?

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Love those kind of claims from the keyboard warriors.

 

[Darwinambrosius]

I bet the guy who recently made a thread about Vitor being overrated will argue with you about this.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Goku > Vegeta.

 

[HIMBOB]

Dominate champions force contenders to look for other divisions if they can.

I see no reason why a division right in the middle of the size scale happens to not have talent.

 

[Glumberjack]

Forrest was a middleweight?

 

[Saren]

TRT Vito lmao hahahahahaha

Weeb fuckboy

 

[Jesus Freak]

Forrest was a middleweight?

Silva went up to 205 and tooled Griffin.

 

[Verace]

Haters gonna hate

 

[Klippy]

It's easy to say that now.
The weakest division at that time was arguably the HW division.

 

[CostumedExtrmst]

Anderson, just like Jones, was SUPPOSED TO LOSE TO A LOOOOOT OF PEOPLE. When that did not happen, people flipped the script and tried to downgrade their accomplishments and competition. They tried that same shit with Serena Williams. Sense a pattern here?

 

[nintey]

But but... he lost he was when he was 40, there for he was never good.

 

[gspieler]

Hendo, Vitor, Griffin, and Franlin 2x are his great wins.

Chael 2x, Marquradt are very good wins.

Leites, Leben, Bonnar, etc are decent wins.

Can't imagine why someone would include Maia on that list, who actually witnessed it. Also, Vitor was not on TRT at the time. Bottom line is, AS is the GOAT MW, who looked near invincible, against a decent strength of schedule.

Yes, a very explosive pattern

 

[Me&MrJones]

You're right and Jones is a ducker so McGregor is GOAT because he goes up 2(!) weight classes.

 

[Caicara]

UFC GOAT along with Jones, GSP and Aldo (this one is the 4th)

 

[n0thinglasts]

Also, Vitor was not on TRT at the time.

You're right he was just on straight up steroids.

 

[King Bastar]

Vegeta reigned over a weak planet, one dude blew that whole place up.

CONFIRMED: Vegeta is the Andy of Dragon Ball Z.

Just haters trying to tear down a great champ.

Spoiler

Also, Vitor was not on TRT at the time.

However, Belfort revealed in an interview to UOL that he was already on the testosterone replacement therapy when he fought Silva, back in 2011.

"I’ve (been doing this) for three years," Belfort said. "I did some exams and they saw I had low testosterone levels. The doctor said ‘Vitor, we need to do something. I don’t know if you agree with this, but it’s important that you do it.’ And it was done."
