Diego Lopes absolutely worked Jean Silva - Looked worst than it actually was.

Cliffs:

-Diego said, the punches didn’t hurt.
-said Silva was being overly confident and his punches were sloppy.
-Pressure was getting to Silva.
-said Silva was easy money
-Silva fought scared and knew it was a matter of time before he would finish him

Lopes was maybe buckled once, but he was definitely winning the striking exchanges. Even with the one punch that Silva clipped him with Diego kept pressing forward and sticking him with jabs. The last few combinations Silva threw at him before getting knocked down didn't even land. Diego did a good job rolling with the power punches (although he ate a few clean ones like they were cupcakes) and slammed him down to the ground, continuing to ground and pound. Overall, I don't think Silva wasn’t expecting Diego to apply that much pressure, and typically what happens to fighters like Silva as I've seen so many times before is that they start wilting once they become the nail.

Diego said that it was an easy win. The idea that Silva was the favorite just because he beat the likes of Dober, Bryce, and Melsik is quite comical.

Diego said that it was an easy win.

Yeah but for those of us who seen the fight, it really wasnt.

If you get fucking buckled, that is not an easy fight.

 

[Limit Smasher]

Silva was never good.

Did they look a bit like a weight class apart to you? You think Silva could fight at 135?

I think Lopes is just big

Silva was nowhere near finishing Diego at any point in that fight whereas it was the complete opposite for Diego.

 

[Neck&Neck]

He was just awestruck by that iron chin
Silva was tagging with some hard shots

lol

Silva was the aggressor, he was the one applying the pressure. He just got caught on the way to doing just that.

If you get buckled, then you were in serious danger.

Then it's not an easy fight.

 

[flektarn]

getting put into full mount that easily and then pummeled

 

[KoreanZawmbie]

lol

lol what fight were you watching? The fights still on ESPN, I suggest you re-watch it. Not once did he (Diego) step back, he kept pressing forward and had Silva looking defeated.

 

[sdpdude9]

Nah, Silva was finding his range and landed some pretty nice shots that would have put a lot of guys down. Then he got over zealous and ate a nasty counter elbow. Not an easy fight at all, it was a dogfight.

being built like dwarf strikes again

He got tagged almost every time he came forward. Silva didnt ever look defeated, he was hitting him with whatever he wanted, and havin a good time doing it.

landed a few teep kicks and power combinations that didn't earn Diego's respect. I saw Diego slamming Silva to the canvas before landing his beautifully timed spinning elbow. Silva's tough but his face showed evidence of that beating.

 

[HHJ]

Everyone else: FOTY contender

TS: accckthuallllyyyy diego dominated and silva didnt do anything, it was easy, kinda dissapointing fight tbh...

He was throwing wild looping punches while losing his balance on top of it. Yeah, he was definitely have a good time. The showboating and talking all stopped in the second round. Silva couldn't handle the pressure unfortunately.

Looping punches that were landing lol who cares how they looked if he's connecting.

Silva didnt lose this fight because of pressure, he lost because when HE was pressuring, he got caught.

Well yeah, he obviously took his licks. But it’s silly to suggest it was an easy fight. He landed hard shots back. Silva was winning round 2 until he got dropped.

TS is trying to hypnotize people into thinking this wasnt a wicked sick fight
