I can make the same argument for every fighter he faces. If it's a "shit fight" because his opponent doesn't engage, then it's a two way street, because he doesn't engage either. You can't blame the opponent for not engaging when Silva pretty much refuses too.
But, like I said, I don't hate him for that, I hate his taunting and BS antics as he comes off like a disrespectful prick when all he's doing is trying to make his opponent come at him since he doesn't want to go at them. As far as not engaging, I don't like it, but I respect it. I understand why he fights like he does, and I don't hate him for that... Just the taunting. I know I'm not the only one, since the crowd tends to boo it too.
Oh, and I really didn't like Hendo after the Bisping fight, just because of the late punch. I know late punches happen, but his comment about "knowing he was out" seemed to be in really bad taste.
