Will Matrix Anderson show up?

[Rockman14]

Or will the Anderson from the Diaz fight show up?

Gonna be interesting to see if he has confidence in that anymore after the weidman KO, most would have said bisping would be perfect to do it against as he does not have big power and isnt super fast but these days who knows.

Yes Matrix Andy will show up and this fight will look similar to the Forrest fight, DJ Mikey B is fucked

 

[RetiredSlave]

His reflexes will never again be what they were, symptomatic of aging. He has all the potential in the world to become a crafty veteran type though.

God I hope so. It's the most beautiful sight in MMA.

Other than Sage, of course.

It's crazy to think that Anderson gave every fighter an opportunity to KO him at any moment. Took 8 years before Weidman finally did it. Dude should've been knocked dead years ago. Crazy shit.

Anderson will probably look worse than the Diaz fight if he's clean, but the problem for Bisping is he hasn't exactly looked fantastic for the last few years. If he was still at his peak I reckon he'd win this, but considering how bad he's looked lately, he probably won't

 

[cade187]

He looked energetic at the weigh-ins. I think Bisping is in for the beating of his life.

Matrix Andy is gone and was never truly a by product of his own ability.

Smarten up, Nas.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

As long as Bisping brings that pressure it should be a show.

 

[sidecheckkick]

Not without the red pill

 

[Locooo]

yeah he will
trust me
he back

 

[BALLERSTATUSMCG]

I think he performs very well, but its Bisping

Like Picasso on a canvas and Mozart on a piano.

 

[djason1988]

Possible. Bisping had a very traditional boxing style that Silva has seen thousands of times, and doesn't rely on any tricks or clever set ups. Actually seems like the perfect opponent for Andy to matrix.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Hope so. 40 isn't as old as people make it out to seem. Bernard Hopkins was a legitimate boxing champ until he was 48/49. He's 50/51 now and still a legitimate competitor. I think what mostly happens is people find success and don't want to live like savages anymore. They don't want to focus on training. They want to raise a family (which takes an ungodly amount of time and effort. I live with my gf's 5 year old and sometimes I want to chuck him out the window) and explore other areas of life which takes away from training. I've met some military guys that are in their early 40s that will make a guy in their mid 20s look stupid athletic wise.

Not without the red pill

He probably took the blue pill.

Never truly a by product of his own ability ? Did u see the Vitor fight ??

 

[Drogon]

He looked energetic at the weigh-ins. I think Bisping is in for the beating of his life.

this, iirc he was all respectufl at the diaz weigh in. Now we have jaw jacking cocky in your face silva again. If he goes matrix and wins I might just bust in my pants. For any newish mma fans, anderson silva is my conor mcgregor.

 

[LouisBolanos]

Probably not this time.

 

[Crash Lance]

I hope Michael Bisping wins.

It's too bad that Bisping will never receive the credit that he deserves regardless of what happens against Anderson Silva.
