Cooked Crack Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Silva shouldn't have been playing with him the first 2 rounds. I'd assume it sucks worse losing like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Kind of reminds me of the Couture/Belfort fight a few years back when after a long night of waiting Couture's eyelid was slashed by Belfort's glove in the first minute of the fight. Sucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate-Zeo Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 yeah, that does blow. Silva was clearly winning, but to blow out your knee like that sucks. It'll be a year before he comes back. I wonder if they'll give him a title shot right away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Silva shouldn't have been playing with him the first 2 rounds. I'd assume it sucks worse losing like this. Why? That's part of Silva's mind game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 seemed to me Anderson was looking for some kind of special KO. one of those jump kick type KO's that would be on highlight reels forever instead of just trying to end the fight as fast as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Anderson had won the first two rounds already anyway. Just sucks because I bought the PPV tonight I wanted to see an end to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 with the #1 contendership about to be tied up in the next season of TUF, Anderson's next fight will probably be at 205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwayMonster31 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Both fighters looked like they showed a little too much respect for each other. Hopefully Cote can come back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Who would Anderson fight at 205? I'm thinking that at HW the winner of Randy/Brock fights the winner of Nog/Mir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Who would Anderson fight at 205?I'm thinking that at HW the winner of Randy/Brock fights the winner of Nog/Mir. that HW match is guaranteed, Dana already said as much. as far as Anderson's next opponent at 205, most of the 205 top guys are occupied: Rampage vs Wandy Machida vs Thiago Silva Evans vs. Griffin Shogun vs. Coleman i can see maybe Jardine since he's coming off a win. a fight with Liddell would still get some big PPV buys. the dude who beat Sokoudjou would be good, although i'm not sure it would be a big enough name right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm wondering how much Spider's leg kicks had to do with buckling that knee in the 2nd so that it gave out in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance04 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I feel really bad for Patrick. That's got to be the worst feeling ever. Now as for the fight, I can't really blame Cote for his game plan. He was a little cautious yes, but every time he tried to explode Silva would back up, and I don't understand either. Every time Silva wanted to exchange he got the better of it. To me, it just seems like he was messing around and acting like it was a big joke. Either way, I enjoyed the fight, and I give Cote respect for lasting until the third. While I am a big Cote fan, it was clear tho that the best he would end up with would be a unanimous loss. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 my friends boy shannon gugerty fought tonight and won..woop woop koshchek showed mad heart and if he could train properly can beat thiago. but no excuses..thiago is a beast cote cote cote...he did everything he could and was looking pretty good until..well we all know. anderson wasnt doing **** but counter punching and dancing like he was a showboater. i was not happy with how he was showing off and acting like he was so bad. looked like he was believing the hype. he could have beaten cote and very well may have if his knee didnt go but it wasnt impressive up until then. sherk did NOT win in my opinion. the fight was awesome though..and even IF sherk did win he didnt win by unanimous decision. gray maynard is a good wrestler but thats all i saw. it won him this fight but won win him many of them.........

Shannon Gugerty lost... I also think Kos showed great heart. He gets that from Fitch me thinks. But I don't think he can beat thiago. As for sherk griffin, just because it's a UD does not mean it wasnt a close fight. Each round was razor thin, but I thought Sherk pulled it out, 29-28. Dude I totally agree about maynard. All he did was take Clementi down then lay on him. It was text book lay n pray. I was VERY disappointed with him tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you about Sherk, that was not a unanimous decision IMO, I was really surprised when they read the results. I think one of the judges gave a 30-27...which shocked me. As far as Maynard, it might have been a boring fight to a lot of fans, but he took Clementi down in each round. That's what got him the scores. I knew it was going to go 30-27 across the board with that. I thought Clementi did a good job neutralizing Maynard's wrestling skills on the ground, I could see him working toward a lot of positions, but none worked really. I did disagree with the crowd booing them though. I understand stand-up fights are more entertaining, but watching the ground game is pretty interesting, kind of like a chess match with the moves and the counters. To me the ground game is just as entertaining...so I get annoyed with fans who boo just because guys are on the ground for a long time. As far as Silva, whatever. I think the guy likes to play a lot of mind games with his opponents, although I have noticed it becomming more prominent with each fight. He's still not as bad as Rashad though IMO. I didn't really care either, it was kind of entertaining. He may play a lot of psych. games, but I think he is a very respectful fighter and I hold him in very high regard. That being said, I didn't even think Cote would make it to round 3, so he impressed me. Sorry to see his knee injured like that, it's going to be a good year before he's back after that type of injury. Really too bad. Just a freak thing, like the Belfort Couture fight several years back...that sucked too. Anyway, I wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to another match up between these two.

dahottestbubu Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Is Anderson Silva related to Lyoto Machido? WTF was that stupid dancing ****. I hope someone ko's him soon. Atleast the Alves,Dos Santos and Sherk fight were pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the judges gave a 30-27...which shocked me. Again I don't understand what this belief is. Just because it's a close fight it needs to be a decision? Often times there are very close fights that are UD's. Was it clear Sherk won 2 rounds? yup. Whoever scored it a 30-27 is off their rocker I agree. It's not like the judges say to each other "Ok that was close. Were gonna score a win for sherk and you score a win for Griffin. " Sorry if I'm coming off strong, im just fed up of this mentality that if it's a close fight, it should be a split. it's nonsense. All the judges can score a victory for the same person. doesnt mean it wasn't close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the judges can score a victory for the same person. doesnt mean it wasn't close. That's fine, you can have your belief, that's not a problem. I have been watching MMA for well over a decade however, I have watched through the changes in rules, blah, blah, blah and I kind of know these judges' criteria for grading these fights (not that you don't). And you are right that a close fight can be 30-27, of course. However, I do not believe the Sherk/Griffin fight was a unanimous ruling fight. And if it was a unanimous ruling fight, I certainly would not have expected one of the judges to hand out a 30-27. I was very surprised to see even one 30-27 come from the judges. I still would have given the fight to Sherk (and let me tell you, I was totally rooting for Ty), but I don't think it was a 30-27 fight at all. I was much more shocked at that score from one of the judges than anything else. Anyway, I don't know where you are getting the "split nonsense" from, but I am just saying that I was surprised there was even a 30-27 ruling in there. And personally, I am surprised that it was not a split decision...but the 30-27 decsion had me scratching my head.

Chachie Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 gray maynard is a good wrestler but thats all i saw. it won him this fight but won win him many of them......... I thought he threw some nice body shots and hooks in the first round and I thought this was the best he's looked especially when he was up against a crafty survivor. I was ready to be disappointed in Gray and ended up being pleasantly surprised. Clementi's no slouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Keeast, I'm sorry but I don't understand why you think it was not a unanimous ruling fight? You feel it was close enough where at least one of the judges should have scored the fight for Tyson? I guess I also find it confusing because you yourself said that you gave the fight to Sherk. I do agree with you 100% tho, one judge scoring it 30-27? thats dumb. It was clearly 29-28.

Second Round: I thought that could have gone either way. Third Round: Sherk The 30-27 was ridiculous. But with so much uncertainty, I thought at least one judge would have given it to Tyson especially since I've seen a few UFC fights over the years that were not as close a this one that ended in a split decision.

Sucky. I was kind of thinking the same thing. For me it was "at least it lasted a lot longer than Coutre-Belfort" though. That fight ended like 5 seconds in. The worst part is that I had money on Coutre and lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
