Chris Weidmen the new Middleweight champion

Got dropped and was on 'queer street' from a jab <img src="images/smilies/undecided.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Undecided" smilieid="19" class="inlineimg" />

It was a left hook that dropped him. The gif is a bad angle.

IMO from the sound of the post fight interview, silva wanted to get rid of that belt. He wasn't mad at all. Didn't want a rematch. Sounds like he is just tired of fighting. The flame went out and he is happy with it. We all kno silva was gonna give dude the bizness, but he didn't care to. Oh we'll. at least we still have bones

I think he sounded embarrassed because he has never lost in front of that many people. And not only did he lose he got KTFO. And not only did he get KTFO, he got KTFO in his home country. And not only all this, his own home country booed him after he lost.

You can say the clowining and shit cost him, but he didn't do that in the first and got taken down and gnpd. I think silva didn't wana be taken down so he did what he always does which is be cocky and try and gaud the guy into a mistake, except this time he was the one to make a mistake.

Maybe so. After the first take down Silva did stuff a couple tho. Looked like he wasnt to afraid to be taken down.

I don't know I only remember chris attempting one more after but either way its not like silva fought differently than he usually does, people say silva should kept his hands up and he wins, when did silva ever fight that way?

I think he had many opprotunities to counter. He made Weidman miss many times in which Weidman was left wide open.

Sure having his hands up would have helped but your right when has Silva done that.

I think if Silva would have just go to business he would have KO'd Weidman.

Would've could've but he didn't seem to want to. In the past silva counters this missed punches. And if I remember correctly silva doesn't really play around until he has complete control. He didn't even land nothing significant before he started clowning

Anderson Silva is 38 years old and been fighting professionally since 1997.
16 years of pro fighting, it's amazing that he held onto his reflexes and speed for as long as he has, but nobody defeats Father Time.

I don't understand why anyone is arguing, the fight was Silva's to lose, which he did. Silva has been taken down plenty so I don't think he was upset about the first round. Why he was clowning around with his hands down in front of a fighter few have seen a lot of is a mystery to me, Silva had plenty or warnings about Weidman and decided to ignore them.
Maybe he was trying to impress RJJ. Whatever the reason, congrats to Weidman because he did KO Silva for a great win. I'm really interested to see how everything plays out.
