I feel sorry for Anderson Silva

He really. REALLY messed up his defense in that hearing ... What did he expect. The idea that he didn't have a better put together version of events after having nearly 8 months to prepare is ridiculous
 
Don't be such a dramatic crybaby TS, the hearing was definitely a mockery (on both his and the NSAC's part) but nothing will erase this:

You need to understand where they're coming from. What if Anderson lost to one of their favorite fighters? And what if one of them proceeded to have a better career had they not lost to a fraud. There's lots of ifs and whats now and his whole career will always be in question.

Most are on PEDs. Its not like he is rare in a field of clean guys. He is dirty, but so were most of his opponents.
 
Lol he didn't even need to come up with this BS viagra story

Would've had the same outcome no matter what he said

But yeah, this'll stick with his career now. Good!
 
Random testing is a bitch. He's incredibly lucky to have gone so long and not been caught. Never was the GOAT in my opinion. Brought this dark cloud on himself. Hubris!

If you can't keep IT up anymore, perhaps you shouldn't be cage fighting. Some people are really enjoying Anderson's fall from grace though. A little too much. Like because they aren't happy with themselves, they relish in other people's difficulties. Reactions from some of the people on here gives real insight to how bitter they must be in everyday life.

For me, this is a tough pill to swallow because it raises a lot of questions about Anderson, as I have been a fan of him as a fighter and a human being. Now, I don't know what is legitimate and what isn't. What I do know is that he inspired many people with his skills and character while he was at his peak, and in a sport where PED use is proliferated to a degree only paralleled by professional wrestling, it appears he is just like everyone else. You always want those guys who seem like superheros to actually be superheros, but often times it isn't true even if they never get exposed... Unless you're one of those jerks that can't appreciate generationally special talents and prays for them to crumble. Same kind of people that couldn't stand Ali in his prime, or JBJ for that matter. The sad truth is a lot of them struggle with the dominance of black athletes. They will vehemently deny it, but the proof is in the pudding. And yes, I know that is a statement that will upset a lot of people, and no, I'm not saying that if you don't root for Anderson Silva you hate black people. It was a generalization that I feel applies to many in that context, however.

Man, you are armchair psychoanalyzing the shit out of MMA fans here.

I have no doubt that there are a number of fans that don't like black athletes period. The KKK still exists, so as long as any of them like MMA, chances are they won't like the black fighters.

But to have that rationale as the meat of your post in the aftermath of a debacle where Anderson Silva tested positive for roids and didn't even get punished excessively?

People generally dislike Jon Jones because he acts like a jerk. There is thread after thread on here where there is a group of people able to detect his "fakeness" and those who are unable to, who have no idea what the other group are talking about.

I liked Anderson Silva fine until he started rubbing me the wrong way by acting like an idiot such as during the Leites and Maia fights, and with comments like how Dan Henderson was never a real middleweight champion and only Franklin was, then growing cockiness and brash behavior all while an army of fans touted him as the human embodiment of humility.

In selecting Jones and Anderson as your representatives of the "wronged black athlete" community, you've chosen a criminal and a cheater, both of whom have a pattern of their character not matching the character they try to project.

If you want to make your point about people disliking successful talented people, or turning against black athletes in general, I'd go with someone that hasn't given such obvious reasons for criticism, like Mighty Mouse. The only complaint I hear about him is that he is a bland personality, and that's a far cry from the usual stereotypes I hear about black athletes.
 
i think only people on this forum feel sorry for him. He will be ok
 
silva did not disclose what he took on the pre-fight questionnaire and this sealed his fate with the nsac. he got caught doping and his excuses to the nsac only made it worst when the nsac fined and suspended him.
 
why? its his fault. if he legit needed cialis, then he could've gotten cialis legitimately via doctor's prescription, notified the nsac. instead he got a 'cialis like sex drug made in thailand FROM A FRIEND.' u know what people get from their 'friends' in mma? PED's.

Just for the hell of it he should have pointed the finger at Hector Lombard's lady friend.

I know.. "why feel sorry for someone who's more successful than you ever will be" but from what I read, the hearing was absolutely embarrassing. I didn't believe it until I saw some videos.

I have a feeling this will overshadow every "success" he's ever had in his career. Crazy how one stupid mistake can erase almost 20 years of hardwork and insane performances

Serious question, by one stupid mistake do you mean that you think he has only used PEDs once or are you referring to the one fight he failed to beat the tests?
 
For all the hate Jones gets for being "fake", I never understood why Silva got a free pass. He's been one of the most disgraceful individuals in the cage. "It's just mind games"... Sure.

Finally caught up to him and not only has he had one of the most humiliating losses in the history of the sport, but now he's a known roider.

Nice thoughts and I agree some people just love pointing out others mistakes. Hopefully he learns one day from his mistakes. As for his fighting career I think he's done.
 
Nah he's fine. A shitty day for sure, but like all shitty days it'll blow over. Haters are still gonna hate, supporters are still gonna support and on the world turns. By tomorrow 99.99999% of the rest of the world will give zero fucks. Leave it to Sherdog to be that 0.00001%.
 
I feel sorry for his wife - she aint gonna get none no more, without those pills.
