MMA Talk

And I love watching Frankie Edgar fight. He never quits.
 
Watch @5:00.

I'm not sure how I feel about this yet. It seemed as if silva was relieved he didn't have to defend the belt anymore he's been so hyped to box Roy jones jr. I'm not gonna say he intentionally did it because I know a champion simply doesn't have that mind set but his head deff was elsewhere

I completely agree, especially after seeing this video. Watch from about 4:50 to the end

I'm not going to say that he threw the fight, or even wanted to lose, but this was far from 100% motivated Silva.
 
When Anderson talked to Rogen, he mentioned that he will still be fighting. But not for belts. Does it mean that he wont fight Jones or GSP anymore?

I would think that means there is the possibility of him fighting one of those two. If he does, it won't be for a belt.

He's already said he doesn't want a rematch with Weidman. I don't know else he would continue to fight. The same mediocre middle weight fighters he's been dominating for years now?

He has 10 fights left on his contract. I'd like to see him regain that middleweight belt at least one more time... And retire with it. Would be epic.

Holy **** Silva makes bank. I wonder what his win bonus usually is?

His show and win bonuses are almost always the same. Sometimes the lower tier fighters get pay bumps for winning streaks. But silva is probably set at 600k and 200k win bonus. Headliners get a huge chunk of the live gate and PPV profits then they get all their sponsorship money. So I'm gonna guess silva took home at LEAST 1.2 million on that fight. So in short yes he makes f*cking bank!!!
 
This is my longtime friend (McKenzie - Blue belt) since childhood. He does combative tournaments in the Air Force (Pancrase rules).

My buddy just told me there's going to be a rematch between silva and weidman :eek:
 
Yeah, in December.
 
Tbh I still expect weidman to win. Especially if silva starts showboating like he always does.

Safe to say if Silva is serious about winning, he's not going to showboat like he usually does.

I could see him doing what he did to Chael Sonnen in their rematch, TBH.
