Check out the last couple questions to Fedor. Match verse Anderson Silva??? Fedor will rip Silva apart limb by limb!!! Personally, I think it was a dumb question to ask since they are 2 weight classes apart.

I don't think anyone really has a chance against him on the ground, but that goes without saying. Marquardt will do his best to keep it on the feet I am sure.

I don't know what old school UFC you are talking about, the Gracie's style dominated the UFC since day 1. If you are such a mixed martial artist why don't you have respect for the ground desciplines? You would be destroyed by someone like Demian Maia in the first minute.

speaking of Maia, he'll be facing Marquardt next for the title shot against Anderson...

For someone who claims to have been doing it for so long, your disrespect towards the sport and its fighters is absurd.

This.

have any of you kids actually seen the old school UFC when there was literally no rule and no gloves. And people come in Gi's and different style outfits? That was the real MMA. Hardcore, bloody, and people die.

4oz gloves protect injuries to the hand and ensure fighters can continue fighting. The rules keep people from suffering life altering injuries or dying, but it seems you protest to this? "Real MMA"? So the fighters of today who have proven themselves in standup, as well via submission wins are not real MMA fighters?

This crap on HBO is like the gracie family special. Glorify BJJ and Vale tudo. dont get me wrong victor belfort is awesome and I like his style.

HBO? Do you mean Showtime? And by talking shit about Strikeforce, are you saying Renato Sobral, Frank Shamrock, Alistair Overeem, Robbie Lawler, Nick Diaz, Paul Buentello etc are like a Gracie Family special?

But the problem is that all the rules are taylored to ground fighting. Its like, if you take a ground fighter and make him fight Thaiboxing rules, hes goign to get creamed...

thats my two cents. I've being doing this martial arts stuff before MMA even got the name MMA. so much bs...

You can't make a fighter fight any sort of way. Did Thales get "made to fight Muay Thai against Anderson?

Thiago Silva gets bumped out of his fight against Forrest at UFC 101 and will not face Jardine at 102. Anderson Silva will go up in weight again and fight Forrest at 101.

[Miasma]

I remember that, It was UFC 17.5:Brazil.

old school UFC 98. Belfort destroying Wanderlei in 44 seconds..

damn, I can't wait till the end of May!

Liddell steps in and defends Silva at post conference...

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...=8617&zoneid=2

In an uncharacteristic outburst, Chuck Liddell sat forward and stepped to Silva’s aid.

“Where did you get that?” he spat. “Every time he tried to throw a punch at him, the guy threw a punch at the air – the guy fell on his back. Seriously, where did you get that? He was attacking him the whole time.”

The ex-champ sat back, cursing under his breath.

“It’s a frustrating fight for a striker when every time you go to hit him he falls to his back,” Liddell continued after a tense beat. “Is really hard for you to do anything, so what do you want? He was going after him and attacking him.”

Maybe bitch boy silva should move up, like that interview said. After Rashad beats Michida, Id like to see him go against Silva.

it'll be funny to see how you word things after Machida makes Rashad look amateur... I would imagine worse than the above quoted.

Silva has gone up in weight, do you not remember what happened? He'll go up again if need be.
