Theres a difference in not getting hit by using your skills (slipping parrying punches) and not getting hit because you are running away and avoiding any contact (what anderson did the last two and a half rounds)

I agree there, I am just contending the notion Anderson Silva (or anyone else) should look to stop their opponent in every fight. What he did in the last fight was embarrassing for everyone involved, but Maia has to take some responsibility too for being like a rabbit in headlights and Dana White for feeding Maia to him. It was a total mismatch. Maia refused to come forward until too late in the fight, did he even make a single takedown attempt?

Seeing a fighter fed to Anderson Silva to be knocked out within a round doesn't entertain me any more than that clowning.

alright your a fucking moron....


saying hes afraid of getting hit silva is not a slight to his manhood. Look at what happened to all the fighters who weren't afraid. HOWEVER you are going to have to get near silva (or anyone else) to take him down. be it cut under them when they are coming near you or set up a takedown with strikes, but hanging out a body's length from your opponent is going to make every attempt you make advertised like a highway billboard.

He is afraid to "go all out" and he is too dumb to adjust in a fight. He has no business fighting for a championship.

What differentiates the art or sport of boxing/fighting from a brawl is knowing that avoiding being hit is as important as hitting your opponent. I'd rather see a display of skill than two knuckleheads staggering around windmilling punches.


Lol, the bullshit in the two posts is the fact that you missed the part where I say that fighters are taught to finish the fight IF YOU CAN. To coin a term from Michale Cole, VINTAGE ECG....

I can't say I was happy to see Anderson to act the way he did in his last fight, but it wasn't something that I thought was cowardly or unwatchable. Was still entertained through out, and Anderson did what he had to do to get the win. I'm Sure his next fight he will come out and give us a stellar knockout, and no one will remember the fight with Maia.

I get it ECG, you're an asshole troll. My mind is made up. What is it that your feeble mind can't comprehend?

You are taught to finish a fight IF YOU CAN. If you have such a decided advantage over your competitor, you don't bullshit around, you either knock him out with your superior striking, or take them down and submit them with your superior ground game. YOU FINISH THE FIGHT. Silva has superior striking than *insert name here*. He has the ability to initiate offense, and finish a fight.

A perfect example of a fighter who couldn't finish his opponent would be Edgar/Penn, ironically on the same card. He had a game plan, he executed his plan to perfection and won a decision.

You dont train to finish a fight IF YOU CAN, thats just absurd. You train to win and there is a big difference between the two comments. When Dana puts you in 3 times or more a year to defend your belt, you do what you can to stay healthy. Anderson didn't do a thing wrong, he did what he needed to do to be prepared for Sonnen and Belfort whom he's probably going to have to fight both this year. Why waste your efforts on a nobody that doesn't even belong in the ring with you? Risk injury over bullshit and listen to people bitch more that he doesn't defend his title enough? Dana should have never made that bout.

Just because a fights 'boring' ( of which I highly disagree that this was boring ) doesn't mean its wrong. I much enjoyed the fight.

Anderson Silva behaved like a twat but Maia did not engage. He was afraid of getting hurt. Silva mocking him was wrong but there is absolutely no need for Anderson Silva to put himself out there to finish the fight when he was winning it comfortably.

That is a totally different issue from clowning your opponent, turning your back on him and running away. When Silva beat Maia up for two/three rounds, it was Maia who needed to push the fight to win, he was the one who needed to stop it. He couldn't and he didn't even try.

Maia has to take responsibility for that. Dana White has to take the responsibility for feeding someone to Anderson Silva. Silva only has to explain his unprofessional behaviour, not why he didn't knock Maia out.

Further, this stuff comparing boxing to MMA is bullshit. I watch and enjoy both. There's no reason why everyone can't, they are two different sports. Mayweather put on a breath-taking display of the art of boxing on Saturday night, that you are bitching about it because you didn't see a knock-out suggests you are an idiot.

Well that guy was the third option for a fight with Silva. Vitor Belfort and Hael Sonnen were hurt so he stepped up. If your paying that much for a PPV and the damn sport is Ultimate Fighting...then yes your best pound for pound fighter should fight. If he's as good as he really thinks he is he would have went to the ground with him but he knew if he did he would be the one getting tapped out. Silva is great...and who are any of us to tell him how to fight, but when I'm paying money to see FIGHTING...then he should attempt to kck some ass and finish fights. He was scared to go to the ground with him...so why act like a jackass when you know if it went to the ground he would probly tap. Besides that weight division is weak anyhow. No one should buy a PPV with a 185 lb championship as the main event anymore.

...if he knew he would be at a disadvantage on the ground then why the fuck would he go there? That would just be moronic. It's Maia's job to take him down and he couldn't. That's like saying Maia should have went toe to toe with Silva, in reality he'd have probably been put it a coma. It's not cowardly to minimise your weaknesses, it's part of the fucking sport. And it is a sport, remember. It's not cock-fighting or bear-baiting. No one HAS to be injured or knocked-out, they're there to win their bouts.
