Hey you know the ufc and its judges are selective when applying that dumb 'you gotta really beat the champ to best the champ" unoficial rule. Sean didnt lose that fight buddehRIP Strickland Era.. Shorter than the Machida Era. Almost like we never knew you
Except sean fights nothing like forrest whatsoeverBisping fought a very old, post-champion Anderson after he suffered a brutal leg break. The Andy who fought Bonnar was definitely better. Having said that, Anderson was 37 when he fought Bonnar (more than a bit of age on him) and was getting too comfortable dropping his hands and letting his opponents tee off on him. I'd say that version of Anderson beats current Strickland 60-80% of the time.
The version of Anderson who destroyed Leben up to the version who embarrassed Forrest beats Sean 100% of the time or close to that....as long as he doesn't clown most of the fight like he did a couple of times (Maia, Leites). I don't think he'd do that against a guy like Strickland who'd be trying to jab him the entire fight, though. I think Anderson would take it much more seriously, like he did against Hendo and Belfort.
I never said they fought similarly. But if Forrest was so easy to KO (which is what Andy made it look like), how did he have wins before Rampage and Shogun before that?Except sean fights nothing like forrest whatsoever
I mean I don’t even think he beat rampage soI never said they fought similarly. But if Forrest was so easy to KO (which is what Andy made it look like), how did he have wins before Rampage and Shogun before that?
Fr, prime Andy melts StricklandLmfao ..what are we talking about here?
Prime Silva vs Strickland ? .
Lmfao .. ANDERSON BY K.O ANY ROUND .. ..
Theres no way in hell Strickland touches or beats Prime Silva ...
Y'all must be drunk
Yeah I think people are comparing Prime Anderson Silva to Izzy and how he did against Sean when they should be comparing him to how easily Alex KOed him. Anderson KOs him in the first roundLmfao ..what are we talking about here?

Anderson is a faster Izzy with more power and one of best finishers of all time. Sean would get the trauma front kicked out of himSean would win.
Anderson and Izzy are a lot alike.
Sean marches him down and crowds him, so the ninja stuff is snuffed out.
Sean is the real champion.
Alex vs Sean is a lot closer to what Silva vs Sean would look like, not Izzy vs SeanSean is a low level fighter. Anderson fights well off an opponent's lead jab, which is all Sean has.
Easy work, late round 1 ko for Spider.
Izzy can't fight against a counter counter fighter but don't let that fool you into thinking Sean has something for Anderson.
if ddp can blast his midsection with kicksStrickland doesnt overextend
Strickland always checks kicks
he has great distance control
its closer than the old heads are pretending
