Robbie Lawler says Anderson Silva is the GOAT

[pride was pro wrestling]

Fedor, one reason is that he could NEVER be put in a bad position that he didn't have an answer for or couldn't get out of.

except when dan henderson knocked him out. or matt mitrione. or ryan bader. or big foot silva. barely beat fabio maldonado. yeah fedor is glass chin

 

[Jopo]

Shame a guy that seemed to have unlimited talent & physical tools resorted to PEDs & cruising in fights.

I just don't understand him. and I Don't understand the love for him. I don't think his style is interesting at all. He puts his fingers out. he knee kicks. He can't box. I'm not interested I skip his fights now. I guess i'm a "hater". if he goes to HW then i'll be interested. but hes just bigger than everyone he fights.

 

[ConditFan]

Gsp had a streak of 8/10 decisions in a row at the end.

One of those was Penn quitting after round 4.

So you agree?

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Hespect Playboi

 

[Andreh]

Lawler knows

Lawler knows indeed.

BLESS THE NUMBER ONE GOAT, SPIDER SILVA. RESPECT.

 

[Jopo]

So you agree?

No. GSP didnt take enough risks to be part of the GOAT discussion. I'll put a guy with more losses in the discussion if I think their skillset was higher and they took risks.

 

[King in the North]

I think years from now Silva will get a lot of respect back. It’s a tough time being a Spider fan. Can’t win a fight and failed multiple drug tests. But we will look back on him with some incredible nostalgia and I think most will write off his late career losses.

 

[JustOnce]

Time stamped


I agree with this Just Bleed legend. His reasoning is spot on. Great interview and a humble champion

Nah biased af.

Fedor has the widest excellent skillset ever in mma. Anderson doesn't have an offensive guard. I think that makes the difference.

Lol no offensive guard?

Shame a guy that seemed to have unlimited talent & physical tools resorted to PEDs & cruising in fights.

Shame a full grown man who believes in fairy tales.

 

[Calipwnia]

That’s the intangible thing that makes Anderson the goat. Nobody did it like he did it for so long against the best.

 

[Intellidamus]

Shame a full grown man who believes in fairy tales.

You got me on this. Usually get jokes.

 

[Jopo]

Lol no offensive guard?

yes. Anderson was always incredibly inactive in closed guard.

 

[Krixes]

That big guy was taking a shot at GSP being boring.

 

[Doctor Lenovo]

Silva is a strong candidate...

I go with Fedor.

How is someone who has never fought in the best organization and has a terrible record inside the cage?

 

[AndrewFiedelman]

I dont think a guy with double digit losses can be GOAT.
Anyways Silva destroyed his legacy by testing twice positive for PEDs and he will go down in history as one of the biggest cheaters if not the biggest in MMA alongside Jon Jones.

alongside Fedor too, and probably GSP, and probably Aldo as well

they kept saying dos santos lol

 

[rushbeg]

alongside Fedor too, and probably GSP, and probably Aldo as well

GSP , Fedor and Aldo never tested positive in their careers , Cant say the same for Jones and Silva though.......

 

[dildos]

robbie dont know shit.

clearly he suffering from cte these days.

to think that Fedor wasn't on that dere cell tech during his prime in Pride is ridiculous. An argument can be made for GSP and Aldo being clean but just based on their physiques alone, I have to believe that they were also juiced.

 

[OriginMMA]

I feel the only fighters to ever have that aura was Fedor and Anderson. Oddly enough I have Jon and GSP ahead of both of them at this very point.
