That was a sick post-fight interview with Renato Moicano - loved it I hope he does clean up the trash too

Regardless of how the UFC treated Elias at times, it was a classy and respectful thing to do with the tribute they did today. They deserve credit. RIP Elias. Gone way too early. Get yourselves checked peeps; that includes myself... a good reminder

Yep, Herb's was worse. Though that stoppage today was pretty much as bad as it gets in the current day.

I'd forgotten how tight that initial armbar attempt was Pele gritted through it... and Carlos took some massive shots before getting the submission on the opposite arm Great post. Definitely miss the old days and fights of that era. Bas and Quadros were such a great commentary duo too.

When talking Fedor yes, though his opponents styles ranged I think more significantly than Silva (and also the 'cans' thrown in between we more 'canny' than anything Anderson faced too mind you), he was a wrestler/grappler himself so I feel that difficult stylistic match ups were harder to make...

humility

Silva/Forrest IMO. Whilst Forrest is fairly well made for Anderson to highlight reel (and I think that was the entire aim of the UFC after the Leites debacle) I think he's an overall tougher guy who had beaten better competition than Gane. Jones coming off a 3 year layoff to just waste him was...

Fine, if I came on too strong there I apologise. The match ups I tried my best in the way I see it, but they are of course debatable. But at least it must be recognised (which was my key point there) was that the demographics of the MW division Silva dominated were stylistically very favourable...

Cheers. I think we've moved past throwing silly barbs at one another, so its appreciated. I will make the point, as another guy accused me of being a blind GSP fanboi, so I acknowledge it may have come across that way seemingly like this was a GSP/Silva thing. I actually think both a very close...

I didn't accuse you of looking at finder, I implied anyone can do that, making a point that CONTEXT matters. Leites was for all intents and purposes beaten by Marquardt clearly but got 2 point deduction in the fight for kneeing him on the head on the ground. Thales got the title shot as there...

I'd suggest going full ham with points like the above is much further than the criticism I gave to Silva's opponents. But fine. My comments about Silva wasn't 'nitpicking' (it wasn't full ham like the above examples) it was legitimate criticism. And some of the above DOES resonate, its just...

Urgh, if you really want me to continue to debate you fine... We're talking about Silva here - none of my statements have been 'dishonest' or 'ignorant' at all. And I'm not trashing the guy, I'm being realistic given I understand the context at the time (as a dedicated fan it as it happened...

I could continue to debate you but I won't. That's enough to know I have the maturity you lack. Have a good one.

Name the decent wrestlers Silva faced during his dominating run? Yes GSP had many decisions against his competition but... Actually nope... this is why I don't come to Sherdog much anymore. I'm 45 years old, I've been training BJJ and MMA for over 20 years, I've been watching this game from the...

Silva popped for roids. Fought many sub-par / green opponents in a division stacked with opponents playing perfectly into his stylistic advantage (brawlers and 1D BJJ guys like green Maia, Thales Leites, Cote, Leben, Travis Lutter, etc etc... his LHW fights were against stylistic dreams too...

Its almost a different sport now. Fedor was the GOAT for his era, but he played in a sport with full rules, soccer kicks, stomps etc and the sport was evolving at a faster rate than it is now. In fact in many ways MMA has kind of 'devolved' since then with more limited (unified) rules, much more...

Gane was pathetic, but its pretty hard to argue. Jones utterly annihilated him. I've always liked Fedor and GSP. I've seen the game since the very start. But Jones has to have edged them after this.

1 GSP 2 Fedor 3 Jones 4 Khabib 5 Volk 6 Anderson 7 DJ 8 Aldo 9 Usman 10 DC Jones has the potential to leap everyone, as does Volk with more work at the top

Respect Volk. Did practically everything he could Unfortunately unified system / round by round sucks and position alone is still overvalued, regardless of what someone does to not be threatened and to damage in return. I've been saying this for years. Pride rules Volk won for sure... Not...

How can she slap!?!
