I never paid much attention to your posts before, but I'll be honest: now that you've come to my attention, I can't help but think you're an idiot.

Comparing Weidman-at-a-potential-back-to-back-losses to present day Palhares is stupid. Rousimar has lost, what, 3 out of his last six and has never beaten a top 10 fighter in his career. Nevermind the fact that he tested hot after his last fight. Even then, I wouldn't call Palhares "fad[ed] into obscurity." It wouldn't surprise me if he's on a main card for his next fight, particularly if his opponent is a gamer. Even if he wasn't, if he wins his next fight, I'd be very surprised if he wasn't a main-carder again after dropping two and winning just one.


You made a dumb comment, you should just suck it up instead of trying to dig your way out with even dumber comments, and then to follow it up with kneejerk fanboy-loveblind bullshit about "dooode, I hope you're not pretending Anderson is afraid."

No, I didn't say that Anderson was afraid of Wiedman. I'm not going to play that game that fanboys love to obsess over. I'm not going to pretend that I have some secret insight into Silva's hopes, dreams and fears.

I'm dealing in facts. I said Anderson stated that he that he doesn't want to fight him. To my knowledge, he--personally--has never said that about another fighter, ever, in his career; never mind one who has been called the #1 contender in the MW division by dana white. He certainly hasn't said anything like that about a guy with just a bit more than a handful of fights like Weidman has.

I don't really care why he said it, the fact that he did is a huge point that is often overlooked by the very stupid [and entirely untenable on both sides] argument you just tried to interject. Minimally, that means Chris has caught the eye of the champion with just 5 fights in the UFC, and the champ is not eager to face him.


I also said I believe Anderson would win--although I'd bet that only giving him 7 out of 10 is an affront to the more love-blind of his cheering fanboys--and that the fact that Anderson doesn't want to face him is perhaps the best thing you can say about Chris's potential at this point in his career.
