True or False?
False.
Anderson would never have agreed to it as he'd have lost.
True or False?
Funny how GSP gets the blame for the fight not happening while Silva gets a pass for wanting to fight a smaller guy.
Silva also never pushed to fight Jones.
Lol the whole “well y Andy no fight Bones” diversion is the biggest red herring fallacy in MMA history.
And acting as though the Abu Dhabi affair permanently derailed the fight for time immemorial is also a p4p exaggeration.
You guys wanna know why Dana hates GSP? His dodging of this superfight is part of the reason.
I mean, probably. He pushed hard for the Nick Diaz fight as well even though Nick "lost" to Condit.
But you can't underestimate Dana's vindictiveness against both GSP and Anderson.
Cote and Leites fights before that.Why vindictiveness against Anderson besides a brief embarrassment at Abu Dhabi?
Cote and Leites fights before that.
why didn't Jones challenge Cain or Stipe? Why is he STILL ducking HW when its current champ is someone he beat twice already?Silva vs GSP would have happened during their concurrent titles reigns if Georges would have pushed hard for the Silva fight...The same way he pushed hard for the Bisping fight years later.
True or False?
True or False? Answer the question my friend!
Or leave the thread with zero contribution.
Perhaps, but frustrating performances and careeer decisions with Silva were clearly the exception and not the norm.
It is a little strange to lump him in with GSP in a discussion regarding Dana’s vindictiveness towards fighters.
Any doubt about Anderson being a company man should have been erased after he agreed to take on DC on two day’s notice.
That's not true, were you even around back then? People were asking Anderson to fight Shogun since he kept moving up to beat gatekeepers like Irvin and Forrest who had been a champion there. Then Jones beat him and people were calling for Jones. Before Sonnen, there were years where it felt like Anderson had cleaned the division and everyone were asking him to move up.Why would silva fight Jones when they were from two different eras?
Oh please, he was on a downward slide and this was his chance to MAYBE get lucky and win the LHW belt.
You acting like he did it for the company and not his own gain is laughable.
