Did Cormier deserve to get booed?

[tdluxon]

Pretty weak performance, essential laying on top of a smaller, out of shape Silva. Obviously he won but total yawner, very little effort to finish. Definitely an emotional and crowd victory for Silva.

He looked pretty embarrassed/disappointed. Should he have been less conservative and actually tried to finish rather than lay and pray??

 

[Clippy]

People booed as soon as he even went for takedowns

Hardcore Silva fans I guess

 

[essie]

No

 

[Quantum Leap]

of course not

stupid fans just wanted some Anderson magic and it wasn't happening

It was a great win for DC, Anderson deserves a lot of credit for stepping up

 

[Me&MrJones]

Wrestling should be forbidden in MMA?

He was probably taking it easy on Silva due to gratitude. Wouldve preferred seeing the criminally underrated Mousasi get beat up though.

 

[INoHespectChael]

He probably could have KO'd Silva on the feet but wanted no part of the standup for whatever reason.

Might have went easy on him too since he didn't look very aggressive at all in this fight.

 

[soulless80]

now imagine if the 3rd RD had like 1 minute left and DC got KO'ed. DC will forever be done..haha

 

[andy9432]

Pretty good explanation from DC.

the reason was because he couldn't. plain and simple. a straight stand up, DC would have gotten Ko'ed and he knew that

 

[EXOICHO]

I felt like there were situations where he could have easily done a flashy slam but opted not to. seemedl ike he really respected Silva, which I appreciate.

Fuck anybody who boos somebody that's working a top game. He was hitting hard and often.

 

[Area809]

High risk, low reward fight, against an opponent who had not trained. I don't blame him for playing it safe.

 

[MadMardigain]

DC gave Andwrson the respect (from his Goat status and also for taking the fight on short notice) to not completely maul him over three rounds. Sure it wasn't a great fight but given the context of the situation their was no need for the Boo's.

 

[B0ZZ]

Yeah sure, he's got a booie face

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

If people didn't like this fight(which I didn't), there is only one person to blame, and he wasn't in the building tonight.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

MMA fans are the very worst.

Buncha drunk, telephone tough-guys that want EVERY fight to be a stand up, toe-to-toe war,

That's not MMA.

 

[KORMAN]

He essentially rendered one of the GOATs of MMA, useless. Master class performance as far as I'm concerned. Took absolutely no damage, besides the body kick, and idiots saying he would've lost a 5 round fight are retarded.

He got his wind back when he took him down, anf would easily have been able to just push him up against the cage if he was hurt, anyways. His grappling would've prevented Silva from mounting any serious offense.

 

[Factory]

yes xD

he just got that face

 

[Zimo]

DC fought like a pussy

 

[JohnRam87]

Wrestler wrestled the kickboxer to a victory. Makes sense to me. Brock did the same damn thing and no one complained.
