Just finished watching it too and i wanna say the same thing since hes my favorite fighter and he does that bullshit all the time, usually he stops though but this time he didnt. He clearly deserved to lose his belt not taking a fight like that seriously. Im actually really pissed, but if you watch you can see he tried to roll with the punch and it came later then he thought and there was no where for his head to go and he just knocked the fuck out. Pretty funny though how it happened like right after he pretended to be hurt from the same exact punch. Good thing i didnt have money on him lol

Yeah, he seems like he's done. If you're going to fight 10 more fights, but not for the championship, what the hell is the point of that?

He doesn't deserve a rematch, he toys around in the cage and acts like he's too good to be there. Its disrespectful for the sport, to the fans and to Chris Weidman.

It's strategy, think about it.. Silva knew Weidman was looking for the takedown going into it, as his JJ game is his strongest quality. Taunting him like he did puts the pressure on him to stand and bang, Andersons strongest advantage, similarly to how Nick Diaz does it. It gets people to say "fuck this guy! I'm gonna knock him out!", and fortunately for Weidman, tonight he did. I was watching the entire time thinking "fuuck, I hope he doesn't get caught, what the fuck is he doing?", then BANG!

Weidman himself says he doesn't feel disrespected by Andersons behavior during the fight at the post fight press conference, it's just the nature of the sport, and different people have different game plans, he successfully defeated the GOAT's game plan, the dude deserves it, he capitalized and made history. I can't wait to see his first title defense!

Also, something should be said for Weidman's confidence, especially against a dude like Anderson Silva! I became a fan tonight, even after losing some money betting against him..

I'm huge Nick Diaz fan and I understand the whole strategy thing. I just hate seeing the care free, hands down taunting. Its my opinion that its bad for the sport.

I watched the post fight press conference and heard what Dan, Chris and Anderson said about it. If I pulled something like that when I was wrestling my coach would have my ass.

I understand that perspective, and I think one of the reporters made a good point about how the fans came to see an actual fight and some might be disappointed by Andersons performance, but it worked against Bonnar, and like White said, if Anderson would have won, people would be calling him a genius... it's just the name of the game..

Agreed, I was just one of those fans.

Same here, man. As soon as he started pulling that bullshit I was saying out loud 'WTF? What is this guy DOING?!'.. At the time I thought it was very disrespectful myself, though Weidman's perspective at the post fight conference changed my mind, as well as Andersons, even though I kind of still feel like he's on his way out after that performance..

The superfights are done, no more insane interest about that (even White admitted), so what's next? There are a few up and comers I'll be keeping my eye on, a few contention battles that should be interesting, and Weidman's first title defense. With the outcome of this fight, what's next for Jones? Will Rory MacDonald ever face GSP?

Rory needs to fight Ellenberger. I want that fight so bad.


The next fight I am really excited for is Gilbert Melendez against Diego Sanchez. I'm hoping they will slug it out like Brian Stann and the axe murderer.
