Yeah I don't think anyone has but Kos.

Yea Kos took GSP down in both fights. He took GSP down in the 2nd fight right at the end of the 1st round. He had GSP up against the cage and I believe picked him and semi-slammed him and controlled him on the ground for the last 20sec of the round.



Problem is that Silva is just at another level. He has main evented every one of his fights in the UFC. He has that edge in every one of his fights against his opponents, who feel that pressure of being in a main event of a title fight. Silva was straight up relaxed and chilling whereas Okami was just having a hard time figuring out what to do next to get the fight in his favor.

GSP has the same edge against his opponents. However, I think Diaz will be the first guy to not mentally breakdown against GSP and just fight his fight.

I believe it had more to do with the fact that they were fighting GSP and Silva. There have been many before these two to fail just as bad and did not have anything to do with Choke....er I mean Chael.

[Dr. MMA]

Chael trained one component with Shields and Okami and that was wrestling. He didn't train any other facets with them, nor was he in their corner nor was he the one making their gameplans. I don't care for nor like Chael but this is just an attempt at finding a half-ass causal link for blaming their loss on Chael or an attempt to justify one's dislike for him.

Unfortunately as much as I like Diaz he will be spending most of his time on his back in his fight against GSP. He has no choice other than to out wrestle Diaz and rely on his ground game.

His options are umlimited...

You see it all the time on here MMA (Slice, Silva, Ortiz, Diaz, Lesnar) .... the scope is just shining on Chael's ass right now and 99.9% of the time its self inflicted.

- People shit on Kimbo just because.
- People hate on Silva because of their hatred for Soares
- People hate on Ortiz due to his legitimate injuries and most of the time he doesn't bring it up unless asked about it (ie Joe Rogan)
- People simply just like to hate on Diaz because he smokes weed and refuses to be company man.

Chael on the other begs for this kind of negative publicity.

Diaz was getting schooled by Joe Riggs in the UFC because his TDD was piss poor. Now GSP is gonna have trouble with him? Nahhhh

[roaddawg]

GSP is going to have trouble with Diaz's boxing.... sig bet? Actually nevermind this is GSP we are talking about. His game plan will be to wrestle and smother Diaz.

I promise you he won't trade with him (hell he had enough trouble with Shields).

This coming from a man who still to this day talks about Anderson being injured against Chael yet fail to mention GSP had one eye against Shields......indeed.

And here is your fallacy because I maintain Silva was injured before the fight. I have also posted video clips of him holding his ribs in round 1.

Let me know if I need to repost

Anderson Silva's Trainer Discusses His Rib Injury, Offers A Timetable For 'The Spider's' Return - FightLine.com

"After the first round he said he broke his ribs," said Lemos. "He told me he could not breathe because of the rib. I told him to forget the rib and work the movement of legs and he would get the triangle… After the fight he went to the hospital and did an x-ray and the doctor said he did not break it, it was just a crack. Anderson is expected to return in February or March."
