More like the second time. When scored the winning shot for the title while he had the flu.

That's what I meant, my mistake. I keep forgetting who one that was

He has already stated that lhw belongs to his fellow blackhouse fighters Lyoto/Lil Nog meanwhile mw is open like 7/11.

The permanent move doesn't make sense to him. Even if he did move up to lhw and dominate people would tell him to move up to HW and do the same. Anyways he is fighting past his prime so moving up right now wouldn't be smart.

I agree with you 100%. When he beat Forrest he did it so easily it's almost like he was fighting someone who was brought in to slug with him, like he was fighting someone who will always be employed by the UFC no matter they do and had nothing to lose, like he was fighting someone who was a perfect stylistic matchup for him. That's how dominant that fight was.

Ahhh yes... nothing like utter hatred backed by a flawed conspiracy theory. Were you the guy that yelled out "Forest WTF"? Just curious??

His win streak already surpassed Fedors and if you compare competition, I think Anderson Silva has fought a lot tougher of opponents. Only 4 more wins for Silva and he will have the exact same record as Fedor when he retired.

you guys suggesting that he retires are seriously crazy and off your meds.

But fedor is arguably smaller once you cut his gut off and shorter and fought 2 weight divisions higher. Anderson has been hiding out in the little mans division. Go up and beat Jon Jones and I will change my tune.

if you compare the list of athletes/mma fighters that fought both Fedor and Silva. I'll bet that the list of A.Silva is much more impressive.
