Feels like I haven't been on here in some time.

Just got around to watching the Weidman fight from last night. I was hihgly impressed. Did not think he was going to be able to roll through Munoz like he did.

The finish was very good, but I just couldn't figure out what took Rosenthal so long to stop it.

At this point I wanna see how both Silva and Bones react when they actually have that loss. I know both have lost before, but you see what a fighter is made of when they hold that top rank for so long then lose. That will tell us alot.

I like Silva he is one of my favorites, he is a good dude to idolize, but like I said I just hate doing the best ever comparison in fighting sports.

As far how they would react, Jon Jones is not in the conversation, he only have his belt since March 2011, 1 year and 4 months.

GSP have his interin belt since December 2007, and the undisputed since April 2008, 4 years and 3 months.

Anderson Silva have his belt since October 2006, 5 years and 9 months, next time he fight, will be over 6 years since we won the belt.
Plus he defended his Cage Rage title 3 times before go to UFC. So he was a champion before become UFC champion.

Jon Jones has the potencial to be great, but only couple years from now..it's like Cam Newton, great rookie year, but not on the same conversation when talking about top QB that have played at the high level for many years.


Fedor is one of the greatest of all time without a doubt. Here is Anderson and Fedor stats:

FEDOR
39 matches

34 wins
By knockout - 10
By submission - 16
By decision- 8
4 losses
No contests -1

He finished 75.5% of his fights.

ANDERSON
36 matches

32 wins
By knockout - 19
By submission - 6
By decision - 7
4 losses
By desqualification - 1

Finished 78.1% os his fights.

So both fighters have no problem finishing fights.


I would give edge to Anderson based on strength of the opponents.

Fedor has fought some guys like Satoshi Ishii last year, this guy have a 4-2 record being 2 wins by decision. Being one of them against "Katsuyori Shibata" witch have a 4-10 record.


I mean, this guy with a 3-2 record, beat a guy with a 4-9 record and he is the challange for Fedor, a guy that we debating if he's the best of all time..?

Same here, dude put down some giants in a time when the sport had very little rules, mad respect for Gracie, he changed the sport

Anderson Silva:

Fedor:

Anyone catching Strikeforce tonight? Pretty decent card.

Strikeforce

[jmt225]

Anderson is the greatest Middleweight of all time, and Fedor is the greatest Heavyweight of all time.

Pound for Pound GOAT can be argued by the year 2020. For now, it doesn't matter. The sport is too young and these guys are still going (Fedor will be back; I guarantee it).

Barao is a bad dude, but Faber has the big fight experience. i have no clue who is going to win but Barao trains with Aldo so I expect there will be a lot of leg kicks in Faber's future. This may be a fight of the year nominee!!

I watched Lombard in his Bellator fights and he has the one punch KO power and I believe this fight will end in TKO in the first with Lombard winning.

[jbourque]

Looking forward to seeing Lombard fight tonight.
