I know you guys have heard this before. it may sound boring and old to you guys, but im going to say it anyways. you dykes are the biggest faggots ive seen on youtube. You two are by far the gayest duo fags ive ever seen. you nuthuggers are like batman and robin back in the 60's but gayer. i didn't believe that was possible, but you cunts prove me wrong. Watching you two d!ck sucking cunts was worst than watching William Hung singing she bang on American Idol.
Thales Leites fought like a little pussy in that fight, he just layed on the ground and waited for Anderson to get frustrated and take it to the ground which he wisely never did.
silva's fight wasn't the best or the most entertaining, but the way he did things still back up the fact that he deserves to be the champion and that in this weight class (at least) he doesn't have a real challenger.
There is no way either one of them could step into each others world. The many times UFC fighters get caught on the chin and knocked the fuck out boxers take those type of punches all the time and never go to the ground. So it works both ways. A UFC fighter wouldn't stand a chance in a boxing ring and a boxer wouldn't stand a chance in the Octagon. But one good thing is that the boxer could take a punch on the chin better then a UFC fighter could.
boxing (which i love and practiced) is more limited than MMA. I can assure you that no boxer can fight on the ground or efficiently block leg kicks...they lack huge elements like take down defense or the ability to avoid submissions. i'm sure a guy like mirko cro cop would KO any heavyweight boxer with any of his left high kicks!
Well i agree both in there separate elements are deadly and of course no boxer would stand a chance on the ground or stand up to kicks against and MMA fighter just like in a bare knuckle fight an MMA fighter would be at a slight dis-advantage. Personally the rules in UFC will change if they want to grow there fan base. Alot of people think that each rounds should alternate from standup to ground. Also inaction for like lets say 5 seconds and the fighters go back to their feet. Some suggestions
My disappointment shouldn't have been to much but i felt that once Anderson Silva started to dominate in the stand up neither one wanted to leave their comfort zone to take a chance on something else. Great stragedy and technically brilliant yes. Boring yes as well. But for people trying to get into this sport i guess thats something they will have to get use to to truly be a fan of MMA. I was more disappointed because i felt Silva could have and should have knocked Laittes out but oh well.
I enjoyed watching how easily Silva can dominate . 30 second knockouts are exiting , but a guy only hitting you with 2 clean shots in 5 rounds proves complete ring mastery .Silva and Machida are the only guys Ive seen be able to do this .
A win is a win. Theites didn't make this an entertaining match. I hate how these fights go to the ground so much, it makes things uninteresting so Silva kept the fight standing. My only problem with Silva is that he seemed hesitant too often. He would cut Theites off as if to make sure he couldn't get away from his strikes but then Silva wouldn't strike. He should've knocked Theites out for thinking he could compete instead he made it seem like Theites was good enough to make this last 5 rds
i dont think any of u realize that if anderson silva is taking 3 rounds or 5 rounds to fight, not only is that not as entertaining but it is bad for silva, he has stated that he likes to fight often, which is also very entertaining but if hes having LONG fights, then he'll need MORE time to recover
lol...that's BS all of these athletes can recover from a fight like this in 2 or 3 days easy....his next fight will be in 4 or 5 month at least...i think he will be back on his feet then! lol
he has had two bad fights..the rest of his fights were awesome knock outs and amazing displays..you are just a casual fan who cant see a war of tactics
Silva did exactly what he had to do, and what i would have done...fantastic sprawl and take down defence,great forward leg punishment and total control of the fight.
And on a side note:silva´s spinning kick to the guts was just as beautiful as GSP´s highlight but nobody mentioned this...
Also Forest griffin fought a similar fight vs jackson and nobody complained..why?
In peoples mind Silva should just come out and spit a fireball of his ass to knockout the opponent,this not a video game!
Silva has a right to fight however he sees fit. People need to stop crying so much if the fighters don't do what they think they should do. If you want choreography fighting, then watch WWF. Too bad for you if you think you wasted your money. No one forced you to buy anything.
I agree with lundhead. Peole are pissed off just cuz they were expecting total uber crazy fighting excitment. Well you get what you pay for...and in the UFC, you never know what you may get.
I really don't understand Dana White complaints of lack of exitement on the match,Sylva is still the Champion and he's undefeated in the UFC..why bitch about unflashy finishes...Roy Jones had his run and that only makes it more interesting because more fighters will try to beat him..Mayweather etc. It only makes it more interesting for the competition.
Very disrespectful Canadian fans. They shouldn't have another UFC event there. I would like to see GSP get fucked up by Silva in front of those same ignorant Canadians.
Silva imposed his will. Kept the fight standing. You can't blame him for Leites not wanting to fight. Looked like Leites wanted to get pounded missionary.
And how in the hell can Thales be the #1 contender? There's gotta be someone better than that. I understand he's dominant on the ground but to have zero standup? Come on.
He won a previous fight vs someone I forget. But it was awhile ago. Because he won, they thought of him as a good contender. Also, it is Brazilian vs Brazilian, for the title (first time this happened),
I guess people just saw it as interesting, but it was a lame fight. GSP vs Silva would be a good fight though, very close. I dunno if Silva would win though, judging by his last two performances.
couldn't agree more, public was rude to Silva and so was DW
Silva dominated Leites the whole fight.was never in trouble except for this submission attempt in the first round, killed thales´ left leg and was never hit by any blow....Thales was the main contender and was able to do absolutely nothing!!! (except trying to bait Silva to the ground by dropping like **)
you have a challenger who is suposed to GET the title, and a champion who DEFENDS it what the hell are people complaining about?
No we want to see a fight not a bunch of scared MMA fighters not willing to take caculated risks. Five rounds of total B.S. is not what people want to see. I don't want to see a tough man contest but i also don't want to see guys flopping to the ground ever three seconds either.
booing. It's not either fighters fault, one is the best striker in the world and the other is the best BJJ artist in the world.....what did you expect? The UFC shouldn't have made these two fight in the first place, it's not either fighters fault and by booing you just made yourselves look dumb. Anderson and Thales are two of the best fighters in the world, you can't blame Anderson for not going to the ground and you can't blame Thales for trying to take it to the ground. The guy spent what
They wanted to see more action then they did thats all an can you blame them. Both fighters were unwilling to take a caculated risks but want to claim to be the best. Champions take risks this was like a sparring match. You will never see Manny Pacquaio in boxing playing it safe. He goes in there to put you on your back not to be a ring technician pussy like Floyd Mayweather. He goes in there to take you apart and prove he is champion. Boxing is still way better then this.
First of all, you've pretty much lost all credibility comparing boxing to MMA, they're not the same at all. Secondly, when UFC fighters start to get paid even a fraction of what fighters like Pacquaio get paid for fighting then and MAYBE then we can start talking about fighters taking more risks. It's clear from your posts you really know nothing about MMA, if you really feel this way then feel free to not order the next UFC....nobody is putting a gun to ur head. DANA WHITE IS A CROOK
How can i lose crediblity comparing it to boxing when boxing is well over 100 years old and this MMA stuff is maybe 15 years old and makes no where near the money or has the prestige of boxing. An you're right no one put a gun to my head which is why i didn't buy this crap and they were showing it at the sports bar. I was watching basketball and the NBA playoffs. People have been hyping this up saying this would over take boxing.LMAO! Oh really not hardly with crap fights like this keep dreaming
I probably know more about mma then you do buddy since i am a black belt in Taekon do and i've done amateur Thai boxing in Phukett Thailand. I never cared to much for mixing martial arts up and making it a spectator sport because you get boring matches like this. When its just Thai boxing or Taekon do or Jui Jitsui in just its individual competition its much better and entertaining I'm not a mindless fan boy like some of you in here. Alot of these guys are a bunch of cave men with no discipline
you're an delusional A-hole dude. Half the sports bar was so bored they changed the channel on alot of the tv's. The matchups were lame. There were only four good matches and those were undercard matches not main matches.
They've been trying to sell MMA cage fighting and MMA fighting for years. Kickboxing lost its luster but it was always exciting to watch. This is not what mixed martial arts should be about. An i see no mastery of five rounds of flopping on the ground because you're afraid to take a caculated risk. Thats not how a real champion or contender fights. Champions go in there with the mindset of ripping out your heart and feeding it to you. I've seen better fights inboxing even Dela Hoya fights
spent what....20 yrs developing his BJJ skills? You'd have to be stupid not to use it, and Anderson would have to be stupid to fall into the trap of Thales' ground game. This is what happens when you serve alhohol to francophones, the exact same thing happens at Montreal Canadiens games so even though i was disturbed i wasn't surprised. And to the ppl that are pissed for paying for the PPV, great!....don't order the next one this is the UFC not the WWE, not every fight is gonna be a brawl.
silva fought well but he lost his aggression and killer instinct like back in his pride days and early ufc days... anyways the supposedly bjj black belt that strangles other bjj black belt couldnt even take him down or when he did couldnt do shit to silva. wat the fuck ufc, MAKE SILVE FIGHT SHOGUN!
I thaught the fight was entertaining . Anderson silva put on a great show , total domination . If you did not appreciate it , you don't understand MMA . The Spider was flawless.
chuck better stay off the ground and away from shoguns knees. I think shogun is a bit more agile so chuck better be in tip top shape ready to end it early. If chuck doesn't get a ko in 2 he's in big trouble
GO CHUCK! Hope you guys didn't curse him, you dumbshits! You should know better by now, sheeeezzzzzz!!!!!!!!!! Great predictions though, love you guys!
I am new to MMA. Can someone please explain to me how the guard (on the ground) works? Closed guard, open guard, rubber guard? Advantages/disadvantages? Which one is best for submission attempts?
i swear i'm the only one who isn't being paid to review mma matches that thinks leites is the biggest threat to A. Silva since he entered the ufc. Maybe i should get paid, and educate the people that styles make matchups and leites style bodes very badly for anderson silva
In fact if anyone were to beat anderson, it would be leites, or maia moreso than hendo, franklin, leben or any of the other spoonmeals silva has dealt with in the ufc
I agree styles make fights, but a good ground and pound wrestler will defeat Anderson, not a submission guy. Anderson's jiu jitsu has improved alot over the years. He has a blackbelt under the Nogueiras now. I don't think he'll get submitted.
Henderson could have finished Anderson but he got cocky and decided to stand and punch with him.
not at all silva Neutralised hendo's attack extremely well, though henderson was in dominant position he delivered little to no damage to silve while on top.
Silva no matter how much his jiu jitsu has improved taps very easy, his two real losses show that in two submission holds he's been put in throughout his entire career his pain threshold is very low, and he taps before trying to fight out. Leites is one of the greatest submission artists int he ufc and is very capable of making silva tap
I got to see UFC 62 and UFC 79 live. I really think Chuck's last great fight will be his win over Wanderlei Silva. I still like him, but I think that fight took too much out of him. I hope Chuck wins but I just don't think he will.
idk the silva vs leites its going to be awesome as fuck and the chuck vs rua deff chuck 1 or 2nd round probally leaning towards 2nd round tko but if chuck is winning and doing good i see a ko
yeah he is one of the g.o.a.t. of all time, but its time for his ass to pass the torch actully he already has cuz he got knocked the fuck out son against Evans.
You do know Chuck liddell is the greatest Light heavyweight fighter right? And you do know that all fighters loose fights just because he lost 5 fights doesnt mean other fighters are better hes the king homes.
Ur right Scarface....Maia is lightyears ahead of leites on the ground...he is a few levels ahead...if u have seen all their fights u would be blind not to agree...Maia has his own variations that are sick...hes amazing and one to watch for sure..Cheers everyone..Silva round 1 ..No doubt in my mind...Not passing 2 thats for sure
Leites is not light years ahead of Demian Maia. But he is still better and you should know what you're saying before you repeat your spoon fed mma garbage info on the internet. Leites has beaten Maia 3 times in the past in Brazil once as a purple and twice as a brown.
I think Demian Maia should be the #1 contender for the middleweight championship next. That would be a very interesting fight. If the fight went to the ground, I think Maia could submit Silva. Anyone agree?
Thales is better on the ground than Maia and has better striking and takedowns. Thales has his 3rd degree black belt it would technically be higher but he has yet to instruct and Nova Uniao doesn't care about degrees once you get your black belt just how you roll.
I don't know if you grapple yourself or not but thales isn't even on the same level in mma grappling as maia. Belts and degrees don't mean anything its about how well your bjj transfers to mma and maia has some of the best bjj for mma in the game.
I just got back last week from training with Thales Leites in Brazil helping him prepare for his fight against Silva. He has beaten Maia 3 times in the past in Brazil once as a purple and twice as a brown. Leites has an extremely under rated jiu-jitsu game because he puts everything together so well and has such good striking and wrestling that he doesn't need to rely 100% on his Jiu-Jitsu. His wrestling though, which is the key to beating Silva, is on a completely different level from maia.
although maia is an amazing fighter..it'll still be hard to put him on the ground#1 and then submit him. Maia is awesome but lets not forget we're talking about anderson silva..come on..this man is a monster...
Maia should be the #1 contender..i just think they picked Leites because Maia is quite new...What i think they should of done was made maias last fight against leites..than make silva fight the winner...
They already had the leites fight in the works, if they put maia against leites that would take 3-5 months then 3-5 before the winner got anderson. Essentially putting the tittle on hold for no reason for an extra 6-10 months. Leites earned his shot, maia just needs 1-2 more.
yea i guess ur right..thats what i thought too..but iff u think about it..although maia is more of a newcomer to ufc...he is 5 - 0 in the ufc and thales is 5-1 in the ufc.. and maia finished all his fights (last 5 in ufc) and leites won 3 by sub and 2 by decision..dont get me wrong i think thales should get a chance before maia..but if we really sit down and think about it there is a little conflict
Lmao, I was the biggest Shogun fan in pride. In fact i loved shogun even more than Vanderlei Silva but Shogun has become lazy and that's not gonna win him any fans in UFC. I hate Chuck but I think he will win this one.
fuck all this shogun hating he had so much going on in the coleman fight just not the energy to pull off that omo sadly. his time off has taken a toll but he has alot more going skillwise than people realise and more than lidell for sure. IF shogun gets his cardio he will bury the lhw division. fuck lidell even though i dont think rua is in the shape he needs to be in this fight i hope he proves everyone wrong
Silva versus leitis good fight i think silva fought cote to bad his knee went out he took some good kicks and punches and he stood there nothing knocked the guy out we can all stand say what a joe he is nope you stand in there
silva has not been out of the 1st round eh? have you only seen like two of his UFC fights?
cause apparently you missed his most recent against Cote, ended in the 3rd., or against Henderson, ended in 2nd, Franklin pt. 2, round 2, Lutter, round 2.
I predict that you don't know what you're talking about Brandons4g. Sorry.
I am a big shogun fan, but If Shogun comes in with no cardio like his last 2 fights I want to see him get KTFO by Chuck and sent out of the UFC! Another Pride flop! Hopefully the Pride Shogun will turn up on the night and end Chucks career!
Who the F is blaming rules for anything? Rules are just rules - but you have to be kind of stupid not to realize that some rules fit some fighters better than others. I find Pride Rules better, since they were more true to the original spirit of the sport - find out what workd better in real life. Now about you little attitude problem, one advice: calling people "pussy" don't make you look tougher, make you look plain stupid, punk.
you were originally tlakin about shogun like his soccer kicks were the reaosn for his failures. Thats y i said that. And do u think your gona make me feel bad by sayin im a punk? I agree pride rules were good. I stated kicks to the hea don the ground were not mandatory to be a good fighter. And elbows, a just as practicle use for a fight are allowed in ufc and not pride. was that the reason that mark coleman, kevin randleman, guy metzger, etc did so bad over there?
I only said "Shogun without stomping will never be the Pride Shogun". If you see his fights on Pride, you are going to understand that stomping played a great role in his game. He can (and should) recover his cardio and all that, but the "Pride Shogun" is lost. I agree that not allowing elbows is a handcap for ground and pounders, but I think Coleman did pretty good in Pride, the gyus he lost to are monsters Fedor (twice), Nogueira etc. I don't think elbows would have made any difference...
thanks dude.... no ned to invole yourself in something u arnt involved in. If you think its cause i dislike shogun, your very wrong. I love all of the old chute box guys, even tho they are off everywhere now.
Right, we only have GSP from our country, not like hes not good at MMa or anything like that. How about u shut up and stop being a little pride boy. What did i say to offend you? Its pretty sad ur tryin to act tough on the internet....
Leites is Silvas best opponent to date. The guy is incredible on the ground, and we all know how good Silva is on the ground, Leites is ten times better, but... he is suspect standing up, so if Silva gets him which every genius is predicting it will be by knock out from one of the crazy strikes Silva has to offer, but I wouldn't count Leites out just yet, wait and see the fight.
I will agree with Kimbo vs. Liddell, lol it would be a PPV monster tho. Shit fight though
chuck wouldnt fight kimbo ...different weight classes... chuck will win against shogun... shogun was a hot mess his last fight dont know if you remember that one... anderson will obvioulsy win... and saying that theres no real fighters out of wec... did you guys forget about urijah faber?
I don't think Chuck's finished, if you look at the evans fight he wasn't dominated he was caught with a punch that would knock anyone out. Shogun's cardio is questionable and at such a high level of mma it can't afford to be. Chuck takes this fight by KO.
More people are looking forward to this fight than the main event anyway.
Leites will get ko or tko in the first, unless Silva gets cocky and runs around til the 5 rnd 4:59 for the ko, like Machida in the first. Hope Chuck beats Shogun but I think Shogun gonna bring it this time.
kongo will dominate. if shogun get his cardio shit together then i think he can win but he's going to have to get chuck on the ground cause i can't see him standing with him. chuck is too good of a counter puncher
This is the worst fucking show. Why did everyone keep saying Shogun would go to the ground? Has anybody ever seen Shogun fight before?

I probably know more about mma then you do buddy since i am a black belt in Taekon do and i've done amateur Thai boxing in Phukett Thailand. I never cared to much for mixing martial arts up and making it a spectator sport because you get boring matches like this. When its just Thai boxing or Taekon do or Jui Jitsui in just its individual competition its much better and entertaining I'm not a mindless fan boy like some of you in here. Alot of these guys are a bunch of cave men with no discipline

you're an delusional A-hole dude. Half the sports bar was so bored they changed the channel on alot of the tv's. The matchups were lame. There were only four good matches and those were undercard matches not main matches.
laronfox 2 years ago
They've been trying to sell MMA cage fighting and MMA fighting for years. Kickboxing lost its luster but it was always exciting to watch. This is not what mixed martial arts should be about. An i see no mastery of five rounds of flopping on the ground because you're afraid to take a caculated risk. Thats not how a real champion or contender fights. Champions go in there with the mindset of ripping out your heart and feeding it to you. I've seen better fights inboxing even Dela Hoya fights

spent what....20 yrs developing his BJJ skills? You'd have to be stupid not to use it, and Anderson would have to be stupid to fall into the trap of Thales' ground game. This is what happens when you serve alhohol to francophones, the exact same thing happens at Montreal Canadiens games so even though i was disturbed i wasn't surprised. And to the ppl that are pissed for paying for the PPV, great!....don't order the next one this is the UFC not the WWE, not every fight is gonna be a brawl.

i swear i'm the only one who isn't being paid to review mma matches that thinks leites is the biggest threat to A. Silva since he entered the ufc. Maybe i should get paid, and educate the people that styles make matchups and leites style bodes very badly for anderson silva
In fact if anyone were to beat anderson, it would be leites, or maia moreso than hendo, franklin, leben or any of the other spoonmeals silva has dealt with in the ufc
youbetzler 2 years ago
I agree styles make fights, but a good ground and pound wrestler will defeat Anderson, not a submission guy. Anderson's jiu jitsu has improved alot over the years. He has a blackbelt under the Nogueiras now. I don't think he'll get submitted.
Henderson could have finished Anderson but he got cocky and decided to stand and punch with him.
Nightmonkey17 2 years ago
not at all silva Neutralised hendo's attack extremely well, though henderson was in dominant position he delivered little to no damage to silve while on top.
Silva no matter how much his jiu jitsu has improved taps very easy, his two real losses show that in two submission holds he's been put in throughout his entire career his pain threshold is very low, and he taps before trying to fight out. Leites is one of the greatest submission artists int he ufc and is very capable of making silva tap
youbetzler 2 years ago
My predictons:
Cane will win by KO
Kongo will win by KO
Stann will win by decision
Shogun will win by KO
Silva will win by KO
I got to see UFC 62 and UFC 79 live. I really think Chuck's last great fight will be his win over Wanderlei Silva. I still like him, but I think that fight took too much out of him. I hope Chuck wins but I just don't think he will.

HiCanuck83 2 years ago
Leites is not light years ahead of Demian Maia. But he is still better and you should know what you're saying before you repeat your spoon fed mma garbage info on the internet. Leites has beaten Maia 3 times in the past in Brazil once as a purple and twice as a brown.

I think Demian Maia should be the #1 contender for the middleweight championship next. That would be a very interesting fight. If the fight went to the ground, I think Maia could submit Silva. Anyone agree?
Scarface798 2 years ago
Thales is better on the ground than Maia and has better striking and takedowns. Thales has his 3rd degree black belt it would technically be higher but he has yet to instruct and Nova Uniao doesn't care about degrees once you get your black belt just how you roll.
FabioTheRhythms 2 years ago
Leites is NOT better on the grounf than Maia. Have you ever seen Maia fight? Now that is so good Jui-Jitsu.
Scarface798 2 years ago
I don't know if you grapple yourself or not but thales isn't even on the same level in mma grappling as maia. Belts and degrees don't mean anything its about how well your bjj transfers to mma and maia has some of the best bjj for mma in the game.

I just got back last week from training with Thales Leites in Brazil helping him prepare for his fight against Silva. He has beaten Maia 3 times in the past in Brazil once as a purple and twice as a brown. Leites has an extremely under rated jiu-jitsu game because he puts everything together so well and has such good striking and wrestling that he doesn't need to rely 100% on his Jiu-Jitsu. His wrestling though, which is the key to beating Silva, is on a completely different level from maia.
FabioTheRhythms 2 years ago
although maia is an amazing fighter..it'll still be hard to put him on the ground#1 and then submit him. Maia is awesome but lets not forget we're talking about anderson silva..come on..this man is a monster...
Maia should be the #1 contender..i just think they picked Leites because Maia is quite new...What i think they should of done was made maias last fight against leites..than make silva fight the winner...
JuquinhaRaiz 2 years ago
They already had the leites fight in the works, if they put maia against leites that would take 3-5 months then 3-5 before the winner got anderson. Essentially putting the tittle on hold for no reason for an extra 6-10 months. Leites earned his shot, maia just needs 1-2 more.
jsg103 2 years ago
yea i guess ur right..thats what i thought too..but iff u think about it..although maia is more of a newcomer to ufc...he is 5 - 0 in the ufc and thales is 5-1 in the ufc.. and maia finished all his fights (last 5 in ufc) and leites won 3 by sub and 2 by decision..dont get me wrong i think thales should get a chance before maia..but if we really sit down and think about it there is a little conflict

canadianhitman109 2 years ago
Who the F is blaming rules for anything? Rules are just rules - but you have to be kind of stupid not to realize that some rules fit some fighters better than others. I find Pride Rules better, since they were more true to the original spirit of the sport - find out what workd better in real life. Now about you little attitude problem, one advice: calling people "pussy" don't make you look tougher, make you look plain stupid, punk.
panoca 2 years ago
you were originally tlakin about shogun like his soccer kicks were the reaosn for his failures. Thats y i said that. And do u think your gona make me feel bad by sayin im a punk? I agree pride rules were good. I stated kicks to the hea don the ground were not mandatory to be a good fighter. And elbows, a just as practicle use for a fight are allowed in ufc and not pride. was that the reason that mark coleman, kevin randleman, guy metzger, etc did so bad over there?
canadianhitman109 2 years ago
I only said "Shogun without stomping will never be the Pride Shogun". If you see his fights on Pride, you are going to understand that stomping played a great role in his game. He can (and should) recover his cardio and all that, but the "Pride Shogun" is lost. I agree that not allowing elbows is a handcap for ground and pounders, but I think Coleman did pretty good in Pride, the gyus he lost to are monsters Fedor (twice), Nogueira etc. I don't think elbows would have made any difference...

Leites is Silvas best opponent to date.

I don't think Chuck's finished, if you look at the evans fight he wasn't dominated he was caught with a punch that would knock anyone out. Shogun's cardio is questionable and at such a high level of mma it can't afford to be. Chuck takes this fight by KO.
More people are looking forward to this fight than the main event anyway.
