Why are people so high on eric silva?

Nearly every time in he fights in the UFC he gets beat up.

What gives?

 

I was under the impression that most of Silva's hype was gone after the Dong fight.

 

I don't know, and they keep calling him a "kid," and a "young prospect," he's almost 30. They try to count out Rory after every loss to a top 5 when he's 5 years younger.

 

Yeah idk, maybe cause people see him training with Anderson. The kid ain't top 10 level yet.

 

He sort of has BJ Penn syndrome. Looks amazing in his wins but then he cant seem to get it done in the big fights. Cardio mostly imo.

 

he's handsome, looks cool

 

I will say he can take an ass beating though....

 

His girlfriend

 

Bj was a champion...this guy would be lucky if someone let him touch the belt.....

 

here in brazil they sell him as the new anderson silva lollllllllllll
I was never sold on him....

 

No body is..

only UFC is!!

 

Honestly...I don't think he has a chance with the top 10

 

Time to cut him?

 

what's wrong with liking him?

 

Dat brazillian hype train....

 

Everyone forgets how highly touted he was before his last fight with Fitch. He was coming off of some dominant victories.

 

People really hate on the guy for some reason. He's exciting and finishes fights. That's more than someone could say for most of the other people in the UFC. There's no shame in losing to Fitch, DHK and Brown.

But for some reason people just hate the guy. Probably because of his hair.

 

Thank god someone else noticed.

 

he's a goldmine if he hit the big time - handsome & knockout power = very marketable, but he's just not the full package as far as skills.

 

lol ..

You owe BJ an apollogy
