Te Huna v Marquardt was one of my favorite fights because of size difference, intros, and then the sheer domination by the little guy the entire fight.

Brutal Bob gets severely wobbled multiple times in almost every 5 rounder he's in too. I mean Rory had him beat on the cards, its just a matter of time before someone figures out how to avoid his flurries enough that they either counter him and win or decision him. I think Wonderboy could be the guy to do it.

The way dropped mouthguards get handled is often so ridiculous. Why was Herb turning to look for the mouthguard when he hasn't called 'time' during a break in the action. The ref should wait until a break in the action, call time, then go find the mouthguard. I think Bisping outboxed Anderson most of the fight. Bisping showed good discipline in not chasing after Anderson when he started to back up and dodge the shots. One of Anderson's biggest strengths is his ability to nail guys as they stretch to continue to hit someone, and put their chins up in the air.

Foul Fowl posted:i think the myth of anderson's elusiveness is also enhanced by his chin, since even when he did get hit he could pretend like he didn't. iirc vitor clocked him with a charging flurry and it literally didn't even register, so the story of the fight became that anderson was an unhittable superman with a foot like a nuclear bomb (which was only like 80% true) How was anderson being elusive a myth

Dangersim posted:How was anderson being elusive a myth yeah maybe hes saying anderson isnt completely unhittable, but basically everyone would agree hes been hit in his career so its a dumb argument the times I can think of where he was hit v Cote and Maia, he became really elusive afterwards and didnt get hit again. franklin, bonnar and forrest are all skilled, high output strikers with insane cardio, like every one is a better version of Bisping, and they never touched him. Marquardt, Hendo and Leites got him down but didnt hit him down there at all. Okami never hit him or threatened him in any way. Leben couldnt touch him. Irvin.

There is no problem with with how mouth guards are handled. The problem was Bisping being dumb, which Bisping himself admitted

Anderson heard Lee Murray had power so he ran away and won with leg kicks because he was too elusive for murray to hit

fatherdog posted:Something that doesn't get mentioned much is that I think the Weidman fights did serious and lasting damage to Anderson's chin. It's not something that gets thought of much because he was so elusive during much of his UFC tenure, but it used to be absurdly good. how do guys in higher weightclasses get by longer in their career than someone like Anderson Silva? I figure you'd see a lot more heavyweights dropping like Anderson did if they took even close to the same amount of damage as he did from a larger opponent

Lutter, Sonnen, Weidman, and Bisping are your 4 fights to build the anderson wasnt that elusive argument around. Bisping we scratch easily because he was 40, had two brutal knockouts, looked tired and chinny, coming off a roid layoff. Weidman, well weidman was just better, thats easy, Sonnen had the fight of his life, coming out like gangbusters and was hgh'd out, and lutter, well i think anderson looked terrible but I dont know if one time a fat talented guy mounted him for seven punches makes anderson any less elusive

I figure you'd see a lot more heavyweights dropping like Anderson did if they took even close to the same amount of damage as he did from a larger opponent The first thing that starts to go with age is reaction time, and the higher you go in weight the slower guys are, which is why historically the lower in weight you go the less career longevity guys have. Some of it's down to style, too, a dude like Cain or Randy who have/had very smothering, control-the-pace styles are going to inherently have an easier time as they slow down than guys like Machida or Silva.

I like how Fabers aged. He began as a wrestly guy then sorta developed a cool looking striking style then when he speed ebbed he's become a wrestly guy again

my first thought wrt anderson is 'never even came close to being hit' when he actually did get hit rarely because he's not a god just the best fighter ever so i guess i just phrased what i tried to say very badly! it wasn't meant disparagingly at all. with how quick mma fans are to write off a fighter for just getting hit in a fight, the endurance of anderson's image as quite literally untouchable is a huge testament to how good his career was and how jawdropping his fights were, who knows when we'll see another guy like that.

It was unsporting but i dont know if it would be controversial, it was totally legal and I dont think anyone could really blame silva or care, especially given Bispings history of bending the rules & being unsportsmanlike to get wins in some of his fights

I think it wouldve been more controversial if Herb actually had stepped in when bisping asked him to, since Silva had just landed his first good offense of the fight (the flurry that knocked Bispings mouthguard out to begin with) and had him stunned, if Bisping looked to the ref at that moment and got a break and then went back to winning rounds youd hear way more from the Silva fans As it happened I think its pretty uncontroversial. Bisping pulled a dumbass move under pressure, Silva capitalized on it then pulled his own dumbass move jumping on the cage, the fight went on pretty much normally and Bisping won

Shogun Ko'd Brandon vera in the exact same circumstances. There's a trained killer a few feet away trying to hurt you, you should probably pay attention.

Also a guy complaining to get a couple seconds break when he's just been hit hard enough to get his mouthpiece knocked out might have ulterior motives
