Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me. Based Weidman is coming for that historical consecutive Anderson finish.

 

[BrazilianDude]

Great video.
No more yes man, no more thinking you're invincible. If Anderson does that, he can win this fight and any other.

 

[GordaoPreguico]

Sounds like he got rid of a bunch of yes men around him.

"It's normal."

Did you even watch it? What are these "excuses" you're referring to?

 

[MMADammone]

glad to see Anderson smiling and talking about his loss and learning from it!

"It's normal."

Literally the only thing I could think of when that video was on.

 

[California]

Anderson "it's normal" Anderson.

Do not lose your time with Andy haters...

"i'm happy because now i'm a complete fighter; i had lost by submission and points and now i've lost by submission, points and ko!!!"

that's pretty funny shit.

i wish other posters would actually view these things w/o preconceived bias (e.g. "sounds like a lot of excuses to me!") and enjoy it for what it is. i feel sorry for them.

It's interesting to see when posters frame things as "reasons" versus "excuses" depending upon the fighter in question.

War Spider - still the greatest ever

Love this attitude.

War Happy Anderson!

I'm not sure if they are excuses, but some of the things he says it's just bullshit, for example "they took my energy", "I was not happy"....

 

[California]

He's not a complete fighter. He hasn't lost by TKO. Weidman will make him a complete fighter in December.

I'm an Anderson fan. A huge one, but seriously, he's so wishy washy, I take it all as bullshit.

Half the time he's saying he's still going to dance around and play games because that's what he does. The other half he's saying he's a new, complete fighter who's going to take things seriously and fight in a more composed manner. I can't take anything he says in the media seriously.

As for the excuses, he's saying he wasn't happy; he was flustered by the media attention (why now?); he wasn't listening to his coaches (probably true); he was tired; etc. etc.

I just think that Anderson has slowed down considerably, his reflexes aren't necessarily the same and his ground game is getting exploited. Obviously it doesn't help that he's feigning seriousness in fights, putting his chin out there and dancing around. You play with your food, you might get caught. But Chris is the real deal.

Can Andy win? You bet your ass. I won't put anything beyond that guy. However, I think Based Weidman has his number. Either way, Anderson is a legend. He's accomplished shit no one has in this sport. His finishes or top tier talent is amazing and that streak was mind boggling. He's been taken for granted for too long. That said, in sports, all good things come to an end. I think it did this past July.

seems like some of you guys don't realize the importance of being in a well emotional state previous to such an important event in your life. why is that an excuse?

I couldn't agree more.

if Silva comes into this fight focused and hungry, It is going to be a bad night for Weidman

 

[Cj Bernauer]

Lmfao. How uncomfortable was the guy he kept touching. He kept trying to react and be involved.
