Why doesn't Chris Weidman get credit for beating Anderson Silva?

[TrueBias]

Anderson and Weidman fought for a total of 12 and a half minutes in the cage and in that time frame Silva was almost knocked out on two separate occasions, was legitimately knocked out once, and had his leg broken. At literally no point in those 12 and a half minutes was Anderson ever winning, or was even remotely competitive with Weidman. 15 minutes is the normal length of time a fight is. If those two fights were the same fight, and Anderson had somehow survived, Weidman would've won a clear decision

No. Silva COULDVE been losing his spark, but theres no doubt that he fucked around and found out.

Hes clowned before, sure, but this one was his most egotistical meeting a hard strike from a heavy hitter. Weidman did his job regardless.

How can you say that.

He was BEATING Maia and Leites. They couldnt land anything on him. Exact opposite of Chris.

He was losing this fight as soon as the bell rang, why would he "not take it seriously" after that pretty disastrous first round?

It makes NO SENSE.

Henderson was able to win the first round against him, you didnt see him acting like he wasnt taking it serious in the 2nd.

chris wasn't landing anything in the first round and you could see the frustration building in his face and body language.

Its obvious. Silva knew Hendo was legit, same with Vitor which is why he didn't try clowning them. He tried clowning chris cuz again he thought chris was another Maia or leites

Damn you Silva stans really dont have much regard for ya boy's intelligence.

My dad was a huge Silva fan as am I, and he still swears to this day he threw the fight. Just don't want to accept a bad loss.

That's why the stan comment don't make sense.

You're a simpleton if you don't see the difference between silva vs hendo and vitor compared to Maia, leites, weidman 1

Whats the diff?

Whats the diff?

As previously stated a few times in this thread. With Maia, leites and Chris he clowned around excessively. With vitor and hendo he didn't at all

Sorry to disrespect teh Chris, but you know that was a flukey win H.

You are trolling and you know it.

Maia and Leites, he was winning

He absolutley LOST the first round. So why the fuck would he NOT be takin Chris seriously at that point? Makes NO SENSE

Silva was aware that Henderson and Belfort could stop him standing under the right circumstances. Not fooling around with guys like that is just common sense.

In regards to Weidman, he got hurt in the first round and knew he had nothing for him on thr ground. He was rattled and frustrated, hence why he took his mind games up a notch.

Also keep in mind he was dead serious in the second fight yet looked utterly helpless throughout.

Better question: why does this thread keep reappearing at the top of this forum?

Make it stop. And yes, I realize I'm temporarily keeping it active but this is the las time I'm touching it!

Sorry mate that's just a bad take

Chris hadn't really landed anything and silva was never in any real danger in round 1

Silva slipped and rolled with every strike but maybe 1 or 2 until the ko.

Aside from the takedown Chris hadn't shown much and again silva was dodging everything so of course he would keep doing it against an unknown newcomer

Its because the Silva stans can't fuckin take it over a decade later!!!!!!

Weidman's whole career was based of beating Silva in a nutshell.

 

[djason1988]

He does, but Silva was 38 and had been on top of the division for 8 years. People had been speculating his previous couple fights that he was starting to lose a step, and when you have a reflex-heavy style like him, that's it for ya. The dude had just got pulverized for 4 1/2 rounds by Chael, his aura was gone.
