MYTH: Silva Was Beating Weidman Before Getting KO'd/Breaking His Leggy

Leggy?

What the fuck?

I can't get past that

The problem with your condescending post is that Anderson loses a lot of first rounds. He always has started incredibly slow. Didn't stop him from being the greatest of all time!

And Weidman always wins the first round.
Even against guys like Luke and Munoz.

The most anyone says is that both fights were starting to go Silva's way before the weird stuff happened. But nobody is saying he was winning.

No,it didn't stop him from that.

Fedor did.
 
Hey, it's the weekly shit on Anderson Silva thread.

Nice to see these take the place of the weekly shit on BJ Penn thread.
 
Really? I've never heard anything bar from the die-hard silva nuthuggers that Andy was being anything but dominated up until the leg snap...

He lost the first round against Sonnen, Hendo, and Lutter. And against Marquardt, Vitor, Bonnar, Irvin he wasn't doing anything until he finished them.

That's only three names. You can't use that to claim he was winning when in reality he was losing. And getting outstruck on the feet, which only Sonnen has done.
 
When Anderson was ramping up the clowning in the first fight it looked like he was about to take over. While he wasn't beating Chris on the feet by any means, he looked much fresher than Weidman and while Weidman was doing a good job of not taking damage, he appeared to be slowing down (whether he was or not doesn't really matter),

The second fight was pretty much all teh Chris.
 
People acting like Anderson doesn't give rounds away by having too much fun. He doesn't give a fuck.

In the second fight it looked like he wasn't there mentally and he got knocked down in the first and was on his way to getting beat even without the broken leg.

BUT... IMO...
In the first fight, Chris probably did win the first round. But even though Anderson lost the round by "points", Anderson was in control after he got up from that attempted leg lock. Chris was gassed and Anderson was in his head and looked like he was on the way to KO'ing Weidman. Anderson just over did it with the clowning. This wasn't his normal clowning, he wanted to embarrass the shit out of Weidman. It backfired big time.
 
Holy shit, why do guys even bother with this discussion, just hit "ignore" on TS for the shitty thread.

No, he wanted to bait Weidman into a standup fight because he ate nasty gnp in the first round. He got his wish and got ktfo. People try to call that a fluke, but defending yourself is a part of fighting. He overdid it out of desperation and paid the price.

Weidman was gassed and it might have already been a stand up battle from there and on. But assuming you're right and it was apart of his strategy so Weidman doesn't go for takedowns, there is no denying that Anderson also also wanted to embarrass Weidman and shock the world with another amazing performance... It's just what he does.

It wasn't a fluke. He did overdo it, but I don't think it was out of desperation, rather just a complete lack of respect of Weidmans striking. I still feel like Anderson was in control and gave Weidman a gift by overdoing it.

Hard to say he was in control when he was losing the striking and the grappling. People always say he was gassed but he got the ko didn't he? We'll never know how it would have looked over 5 rounds, because Silva was never able to survive that long.

Nothing happened in second round before break.
 
I remember Rogan trying to spin this crap in the Countdown to their second fight. That's when I knew he was becoming unhinged.
