Just a reminder.. Anderson won all 16 of his first UFC fights and impressively finished 14 of them.

[Thuckey]

The gifs go on and on and on... But point being.. PED's or not, that is damn impressive. It's not like his opponents weren't using as well, some were even caught. So stop writing him off - respect this shit. And even if a glimmer of his former self comes out tonight, it's more than enough to finish a very tough DC.

War Silva.

DC is just TOO big and strong for the Spider, his best hope will just be to stick and move.

DC's got this, sorry buddeh...

I wish Anderson could fight Bisping as his final fight and go out with the belt... Regardless though, I hope DC doesn't physically murder him

Times change.

 

[Chules]

This is 2016

He's finished

DC will end him

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Jim Brown was a beast

Gretzky is the all time point leader

Rose is the all time hit leader

Jordan is the goat

But doesn't mean they all wouldn't look out of place today

Bisping's my boy, I think he beats him again TBH.
I think DC will just move forward and wrestlefuck AS, I see a either a gnp (t)ko or a UD for DC.

 

[Clippy]

Just a reminder it's 2016 now

 

[Thuckey]

Yes he will probably lose. But if he does win, I'm sure it will be another fine addition to his loooong highlight reel.

 

[SuperNerd]

If Anderson is even 1% of his potential, he will destroy DC!

Otherwise he doesn't care and will lose.

 

[Rhood]

Why do we need to be reminded?
It's not like we have forgotten who the best in MMA is.

 

[BangersAndSmash]

I like Silva more than most on these boards, but even if you're not talking about the fact that he's far past his prime and fighting a very large man who's an excellent wrestler (which is the type of fighter that gives him the most problems) there is the teeny tiny fact that HE DIDN'T TRAIN. He literally has a striker's one hit KO chance.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

DC has been there with hellacious strikers -- who had massive reach and power advantages; hell, he took a power shot from Rumble and recovered to win.

He's also faced much, much, much, much, much, much, much better wrestlers than Silva and flipped all of them over on their head like he was toss a bucket of chicken on the table.

It could be 2010 Anderson and DC would still smash him

 

[MMAAAM]

Just a reminder: He pissed hot.

 

[Dirge]

When was the last time he won a fight? Lost twice to Weidman, lost to Bisping and lost to Diaz due to drug use.

thats 4 losses in his last 4 fights

 

[Thuckey]

People keep acting like it's been a decade since he was champ. Yeah, he's out of his prime but it's not like its been THAT LONG. There is still a very good chance that he could pull it off.

And 4 fights surrounded by controversy. Not saying he should have won or anything, but the first Weidman fight he was clowning, second his leg snapped, Diaz fight he won but tested positive, Bisping fight he KO'd him and still lost. I'm not making any excuses or anything but you can't really ignore these facts. Yes, he lost and rightfully so but still there WERE strange circumstances in all of his losses, that in itself makes it not so bad.

People are acting like he can't fight at ALL anymore... well I for one believe that this old man still has a lot of game in him.

Jim Brown was a beast

Gretzky is the all time point leader

Rose is the all time hit leader

Jordan is the goat

But doesn't mean they all wouldn't look out of place today

Prime Jordan would cut through today's NBA like a knife through butter!

But the big difference is that Silva's run was only a few years ago, not in the 90s.
