Israel won't have the luxury of fighting in a weak division.
Oh yea, middleweight is completely stacked at the moment.

I celebrate the fact i watched The goat live a few times. Im curious about how many years have passed and we havent seen any striker close to his level.
Lol comparing Anderson to this bum
Prime Anderson would have destroyed weidman.
lol anderson wouldnt be able to hold on to the belt for long too if the MW division at that time was as strong as now.and adesanya will lose the belt against Paulo, then we'll have Paulo's fanboys making threads saying he would kill Anderson silva
then the next guy and next guy
but all this doesn't change the fact the Anderson is the only true GOAT playbois
Certainly more stacked than the time when the likes of Thales Leites and Patrick Cote can fight for the belt lolOh yea, middleweight is completely stacked at the moment.
Prime Henderson, prime Vitor, Okami, Franklin, Chanel, Forrest Griffin, Marquardt, and Maia would all be successful in today’s division. Only people who didn’t live in that era don’t think so.Certainly more stacked than the time when the likes of Thales Leites and Patrick Cote can fight for the belt lol
Prime Anderson Silva was dominated and destroyed by Chris Weidman twice.
No matter how hard his fans try to erase that fact, it will remain etched into the annals of mixed martial arts history forever.
When would you say his "prime" ended? Was it in 2012 when he finished Bonnar in a round? Early in 2012 when he wrecked Sonnen in their rematch? Was he no longer in his prime when he destroyed Okami? At what point did it end because apparently it was over by 2013 when he fought Weidman. obviously he was getting older, and had lost it a bit - but when would you say that "prime" ended?Uhh prime??
Lol it took how long before andy finally lost out if his prime? Anderson had some of the best fights and knockouts during his run, how long did weidmans run last? Silva is GOAT but haters gonna hateThe only thing Anderson nuthuggers have been able to celebrate in like 8 years is one win over Brunson which was a robbery and Chris Weidman losing.
What a fall from grace
When they fought AS was almost 40. How is that prime for a striker, you tell me.Too bad prime Anderson already had his chance vs Weidman which he ended up getting destroyed back to back
That's not happening at all. Anderson fans don't need to brag about performance in a fight where he lost. When they can brag about all the fights that he won.No one is bragging about Adesanya beating Anderson. It's the silva fans that keep bragging about silva surviving 3 rounds against Israel Adesanya.

Power energy and reflexes fading. Sometimes a wrestler can age better, as he depends less on reflexes and more on durability
But hey, maybe Im wrong, since your boy weidman is getting lit by everyone, so you should know better. By The way, hes what, 34 now?
Gtfo

I dont know, all these elite guys were on roids, so its tough to figure how they would do without them.How is that for a prime striker while like roided? Who knows.
There was no talk of him being out of his prime prior to the first Chris fight. Chris ruined him in every way.

Nobody existed like that though lol there are only so many top 15 kickboxers in mma. And Andy created iZzys style.True. Whittaker got overrated. Izzy still arguably beats any version of Anderson Silva. He never fought, let alone beat anyone remotely close to the level of Adesanya in the striking department during his reign.
