what Anderson is gonna do? move to WW? jacare basicaly destroyed a tough fighter in Ed Herman, i think he will fight somebody like lombard or weidman Anderson excuse for not moving to LHW is because he trains with Lyoto and Lil Nog
Pretty sure Jacare won't be fighting Silva. He also won't be calling out the champ. So the real question is, what's Jacare going to do ?
He'll lose, the UFC's top MW fighters have excellent TDD and better striking. Don't let a victory over Ed Herman give you unrealistic delusions.
I don't know. I think Jacare's striking is underrated. He doesn't have a ton of KO's but he seems to hold his own when he's using it to get to the mat.
LOL! Okay. Funny. Ed's never been that tough when facing elite guys. But Jacare is a great addition to the UFC, can't wait. You must be talking about the Blackhouse association though. Nvm, he's X-Gym.
His loss was controversial. Many thought he actually won. I am one of those people, who thought he landed the more powerful strikes while Luke was flashier. Either way there is no shame in losing a close decision to Rockhold, and getting upkick KO'd by Gegard Mousasi.
I tend to agree that Jacare should have won, but I wasn't shocked the decision went the way it did. Either way, I don't think Jacare is the guy to beat Silva at MW.
Well if anyone beats Anderson, it is probably a ground expert. Jacare isn't a slouch in the stand-up either. I worry for his takedowns, but I feel if he gets one then he could submit Silva.
I get what you're saying, but I think if anyone dethrones Silva it'd be Weidman. Jacare's striking has been improving but Silva's footwork, speed, and accuracy would probably be too much. He'd keep Jacare on the outside and destroy on the feet. I could certainly see Souza making it interesting if he could get a takedown or two, but Silva is real good at neutralizing his opponents top game and not allowing them to find openings. It'd look a lot like the Maia/Leites fights IMO.
