banana Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Silva looked like a deer in the headlights walking out and during the announcements. Performance-wise it looked like there's a switch in his head that flips on and off at random - the confident, game, loose, impressive Anderson of old; a tentative, afraid, stiff, mediocre worn out shell of a man. Gotta feel for him and understand his breakdown at the end, but I think his heart has gone and he will bow out. Can't remember the last time I was even vaguely impressed with a performance of either Diaz brother. Corner fucked him over badly in the 5th not telling him to go all out.

gy diamond Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I thought Silva won the 1st, Diaz spent more time taunting Anderson in the 1st than actually fighting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Diaz won the first? Wut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Can anyone claiming Diaz won the first please rewatch first instead of remembering the first 90 seconds where Anderson refused to come forward? Because if that's not what's causing the confusion then I don't know what the f**k you were watching. Some of those rounds were borderline but there definitely a case for 50-45 there through certain eyes, don't think that's an outrageous score at all. Gracie needs to get his cornering sorted out, them telling Diaz he just had to cruise in the 5th was a disgrace, he was well behind. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Both Silva and Diaz have tested positive for banned substances. Diaz for the usual and Silva for roids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 UFC claiming the results of Silva's test conducted well before the fight were only known after the fight. What's the fucking point of such early testing then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 the substance Silva tested positive for is known for speeding up recovery after a serious injury. Apparently it was also out of competition. Ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Lab apparently "took their time" with the tests. I wonder why? MMA is such a farce at times. For the record I had 49-46 Anderson but there's no way Diaz won two rounds. Anderson won the fight comfortably, without really dominating. Diaz seemed asleep for the final couple of rounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Watching it live I gave Diaz round 2 but Anderson landed more strikes in every round, had a better %age in every round and there were no TDs or sub attempts in the whole fight. What specifically did you see? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Equally, there's no way Diaz didn't win at least one round. I would have no complaints with 50-45 or 49-46. Any other score would be poor IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Who cares who won each round, they're changing it to a No Contest anyway (apparently). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just for argument's sake. It should definitely be no contest now though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Kelevra Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Roids affect bone density, Could Silva's broken leg be due to prolonged use? Was just a checked leg kick after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 He peaked in his late 30s and is in probably the most crooked sport for PED use outwith track and field. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
