No, I don't have Weidman at #1 contender because dana thinks so. I have him at #1 because he's earned it. He's done more than anyone else at MW to secure the spot at this point. dana stating--even in your video--that he's in the spot simply confirms it.

But my question to you again--you post this crap interview with dana where he says that "he guesses" Georges has expressed interest in the Silva bout, so you're willing to take dana's word on the subject--even when it doesn't jibe with what GSP himself has said. But why can't you take dana's word on Weidman being the #1 contender--especially when he says it in the same interview?

Quote:
This is proof that you actually found a way to skim a video.
I'm not sure what you're referring to. I watched a 2 minute interview with dana. That's what you asked me to watch, isn't it?

Quote:
That same question could be asked of you. Why do you suddenly value anything Dana White has to say when you have made it known that you think he is a piece of shit. You have expressed disdain for Dana White for 3 years now and suddenly you're riding his jock?
Again, I'm not buying anything from dana. He and I, along with most of the unbiased MMA viewership in the world, happen to think Weidman is the #1 contender at this point. It's not a matter of him going against the grain here, virtually everyone has Weidman ranked higher than even Boetsch...but time will tell if he can maintain that ranking while Anderson sits around hoping Georges won't make him cut to WW.

But again...you're asking people to believe Georges has expressed interest in a bout when St. Pierre himself has only said he's not interested at this point, or at best, it's something to consider while he's on vacation. You're the one taking dana's word, when the rest of the known world thinks GSP is disinterested. So why take his word at one--wildly unpopular--perspective, while rejecting the one that everyone else thinks makes sense?

That's what makes you a fool, fool.

You of all people calling anyone a hypocrite is completely hilarious. It reminds me how you are so quick to rag on people for being fanboys when you were the biggest fanboy of Fedor.
Yeah, I'm a Fedor fan, but I realized when he started fucking up with his decisions and didn't try to pretend he wasn't. You, on the other hand, have nothing but excuses and stupidity when it comes to Anderson...like your dumbfuck "he should only have to face people who have more fights than he has defenses" bullshit.

Quote:
Spare me the insults please.
Spare us the stupidity, and I'll be happy to.

Quote:
Yet you somehow missed the video clips and article postings showing otherwise.
Ah, so now it's clips, as in plural? I did miss those. I haven't even seen one yet that I thought made any difference.

I've seen Georges say he's interested in fighting at the WW level, there are great challenges there. I've seen clips saying he's focused on defending his belt, and clips saying he was entirely focused on Condit, and didn't care about Anderson.

I've seen clips from soares saying GSP would be stupid to take the fight, he's too small, and Anderson is too big. I've seen other, contradictory clips from soares saying Anderson isn't too big for GSP, but Jones is too big for Anderson.

I've seen a clip from dana where he refers to a statement Georges has never made in public, that he's interested in the fight...but nobody else has ever heard of that.

And I've heard Georges after the Condit win saying he's going to take some time to think about his options.

Where is any of that "showing otherwise" in reference to my statement that GSP doesn't really seem interested in fighting Anderson.

Quote:
The sad part is your overall response is, "Well he did't say he accepted the fight" when you should have been asking why he didn't just flat out turn it down like Shogun turned down Glover, Kongo > Nelson.
Ah...I guess you're one of those "the absence of 'No' must mean 'Yes'" guys.

I'm not.

Quote:
Yet Silva actually expressing disinterest in fighting Jon Jones sparks controversy. See the humor (probably not)?
It doesn't spark any controversy for me. I don't think he should have to fight outside of his weight class unless he wants to. I've said that all along.

Quote:
Thats because you don't see these guys as professional fighters you see them as gladiators. In your mindset the ambitions of a gladiator should be outlawed.
No, I don't see them as gladiators. I don't have any problem with their ambitions. I just want them to fulfill obligations. If he wants to make movies, walk away from the belt. If he wants to fight outside his class, walk away from the belt.

I want fighters to be successful, I don't view them as property. But that doesn't excuse the obligation any champion has to defend his belt.

Quote:
Also for the record Silva just defended his belt against Sonnen.
He defended 4 months ago. If he defends against the #1 contender at MW in the next 9 months, I won't have a problem with that--and that contender could be Boetsch or Weidman at this point. If he doesn't, he should be stripped, because he'd have exactly 1 title defense in over 2 years.

Quote:
He fights whom he is told to fight as SUGGESTED by DANA WHITE IN THE SAME VIDEO CLIP!!!!
Again, I don't really care about dana. He agrees with my perspective at times, and that's fine, but he's just as likely to bypass the winner of Boetsch/Weidman and allow Silva to face a whiney Bisping, because Anderson's camp won't whine about it.

Ha! My man GOD has given me everything I need in life, a healthy family, friends, a good job, kids and a loving wife.
Did He give you your drug addiction, too? Did you manage that one on your own?
