Anderson Silva: Your thoughts

Exactly. Forrest is the underdog in every one of his fights. He upsets every opponent he faces. When are people going to stop underestimating him. Everyone he beats has an excuse. Every fighter he upends by decision claims bias. When does Forrest get respect? He's the champion in probably the toughest division in the MMA world. Give the excuses or complain about the judges all you want. The fact is, Forrest is a hell of a fighter and worked his ass off to get here.

He got it handed to him and he hasnt done shit to earn it. Who the fuck has he had a legit win over? He certainly didnt beat Jackson. He barely beat a weakened Rua. The last guy that he fought before Jackson that was worth anything at the time of the fight? Keith Jardine, who kicked his ass.

Until he steps into the octogon and actually wins a fight against a 100% healthy guy by submission, TKO, or KO, I dont buy him being the king of shit. Put an asterisk next to this title run.

Here we go. This fighter wasn't healthy, he didn't "really" win that fight. It doesn't matter. If Rua wasn't ready to fight, then he shouldn't have fought. Griffin beat him. Made him tap. If Rua was really that hurt, then he should have pulled out of the fight or been declared medically unable to compete. But he didn't. He was medically cleared and he didn't believe his injury was that bad.

Why is it every time one of the top fighters gets beat, they always have this mysterious injury that no one said shit about until after he loses? Do you know why? Because they can't accept that they got beat by a better fighter on that night, that's why.

Griffin did everything that was asked of him. He fought match after match and was given a title shot by the powers at be. He took that title shot and won the fight. Ive seen the fight. I scored it for Griffin, as did the judges, as did Dana White, as did the MMA Sports writers. He beat Rampage, "The Best" LHW fighter in the world.

He didnt lose the fight to make an excuse.

Why would Rua take the fight hurt? He has balls.

If your comfortable in your bordering homo man love for Griffin then so be it. Like Ive said a hundred times, no one is going to change any of our minds about this. Doesnt change the fact he was awarded a title by the judges and the "signature" fight of his career was a win over an injured guy.

Man, you just can't give a guy an ounce of respect, can you.

Sgt John · 07-22-2008, 08:44 PM

No, I can't respect a guy I think back doored his way into a title.

He whips a real, healthy contenders ass, by submission, TKO or KO and I will at least consider him less flukish.

So I guess he's the Rey Mysterio of the UFC then.

Sgt John · 07-22-2008, 09:05 PM

Now that you mention it...yes.
