    I know they say the bone always grows back stronger but that injury has to make him a bit gunshy about throwing that kick again.

    And this guy is supposed to be some legend of UFC? Lol I never payed attention but the last two times I watched him he's a joke.

    Imagine Floyd or pac getting taken out like that by some unknown..

    If you only watched his last two fights and ignore the 7 years of pure brilliance before it, then yes he's a joke. Kind of like if you only saw 2004-present of Roy Jones, you wouldn't get what the big deal was.

    It's hard to compare boxers and UFC fighters because UFC fighters don't have the luxury of picking and choosing their fights. A boxer's management can pick and choose and turn down any fight they think is disadventageous to their client.

    In the UFC, there's one matchmaker, who's only objective is to make great fights that the fans want to see. He could give a fuck less if a fight is disadventageous to you.

    To put it into context, Weidman is a beast who - if MMA was like boxing - would have been the guy that none of the top guys would have touched with a ten foot pole. The lesser known guy who is a huge risk with little reward (think: Golovkin until recently, Paul Williams, ect). Unlike Floyd Mayweather, Anderson doesn't get to say "no I don't want that guy, give me the easier guy who will make me more money." He had to fight every killer they put in front of him. So for him to go undefeated over a 7 year period is nothing short of legendary.

    He wasn't and isn't an uknown he was a top contender.


    He absolutely smashed "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" Mark Munoz prior to challenging Silva.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    I'm not a huge mma fan but gotta respect what Silva has donne especially at his age. Gonna be tough for him to throw those kicks after the injury though.

    No way to set aside the wins Silva has had over the best the last few years.

    He was unknown commodity outside the hardcore circle.

    Would floyd and pac lose to top contenders? ( pac beat bradley )

    Roy Jones did when he got old. And he was better than Pac & Floyd imo.
