How does he know that Okami could continue? looks can be decieving(SP?)

especially with a head injury.

I think that Okami has a chance against Silva. Okami has a good ground game and has vicious ground and pound. Silva is the better fighter, but Okami has a chance and could pull off an upset. It is not impossible for Okami to win; unlikely yes, but not impossible.

I think Silva is in a league of his own just like GSP in WW division no one could come close to these guys. I like to see GSP sometime in the future beef up and challenge Silva. Now that would be something. Okami I respect but don’t see him surviving pass round one.

Okami is screwed. I didn’t he was really hurt that bad in the that fight either. Red…the same thing you just said about Okami was the same thing everyone said about Hendo. It isn’t happening unless some crazy freak thing happens that night. KO late first or early second.

I don’t know what fight you saw, but Hendo wasn’t really losing that fight. He clearly won the first round, and the second could have gone either way, knowing the judges. Hendo got caught, simple as that. Of course I don’t take anything away from Anderson, I think he’s one of the top fighters, without a doubt. But unless Silva submitts him, Hendo wins 3 out of 5 times.

No one thought Serra would beat GSP either. Lucky shot, cheap shot, hard hands, call it what you want, Serra still won the fight. Don’t talk shit or it may come back to haunt you.

“”Is it possible that a pissed off Silva is capable of inflicting more damage on his opponents?”" - ummmm.. yes?

I think this talk from Silva is just part of the UFC marketing to make something more of this fight than it is. Silva is going to blow through Okami and everyone knows it so how do you sell the fight? Easy, with a little trash talk and a little controversy. That’s all this is. That being said, I still can’t see this being a main event. Maybe put it as a co-main event on the Rampage/Griffin card. That might work.

Why is Silva acting like such a punk toward Okami? He’s the one who delivered the illegal kick, how do you blame Okami for you not knowing the rules? Plus, after he illegally kicked Okami in the face, he fights with the ref like he’s trying to get at a downed Okami to hit him again! I’m wondering if Silva is really as humble and respectful as he’s often made out to be.

The UFC probably asked Silva to say that to beef up what, in my opinion, is an easy win for Silva. Okami went three rounds with Mike Swick, Anderson will probably destroy him within two rounds.

A chance of what? Getting KTFO? If that’s what you meant, than I’d agree.

Also, Henderson may have won the first round, but we’ve seen Silva take some time to warm up in the past. I completely disagree that Hendo wins more times out of 5, 10 or 100 than Silva. I’m not sure who you guys have been watching, but Silva is incredibly techinical and accurate with his strikes. Add that little BJJ black belt to the mix, well, I don’t want to say that he is unstoppable ’cause anything can happen, but DAMN!! The guy is an amazing fighter.

the UFC needs to sign the little guy from pride that submitted anderson silva with a, made for the movies, heel hook. i bet he could submit silva again. i wonder why no one has learned anything from that fight and tried to submit silva with a leg submission of some sort

UFC did sign him, Ryo Chonan fought at UFC78.

Ryo Chonan already signed with the UFC. His debut against Karo went to a decision that Karo won unanimously. I admit the flying heel hook was nice but he definitely wouldn’t win in a rematch against Silva. He has another fight scheduled soon, I forget who. And for you wondering why no one has tried to submit Silva, they can’t even get pass his stand up w/o getting rocked.

i dont understand silva’s comment, the ref stopped the fight, i dont think yushin was asked if he wanted to go on, silva will probabaly win, but i hope yushin pulls the upset

If this fight happens Anderson Silva vs Yushin Okami, Okami will win via knockout (knee) \late 2′ed round

I’ve only seen a pissed-off Anderson Silva about twice.

1. Right after getting the DQ against Okami.
2. Before the Travis Lutter fight, he was pissed because Lutter screwed him out of a title defense.

The worst we’ve seen AS in the Octagon was the Lutter fight. Yeah, he was never in any real danger despite what people say, and he finished Lutter at “his own game,” but AS wasn’t as crisp in this fight. Maybe he’s better when he’s not really angry.

He would have been in danger if Lutter had longer arms lol.

And how was it a cheap and cowardly way of winning? He did make the illegal move, not Okami. Not saying Anderson is a coward or anything lol, just that he shouldn’t talk like that if he’s the one who threw the up kick to his downed opponent.

okami is in alot of trouble, a pissed off Anderson wil destroy him in 2 rounds.okami couldnt finish M.Quick Swick,and Swick was a under sized Mwt. the only time he has finished was against an old evan tanner,inexperienced kalib starnes & unranked rory singer.the rest of his UFC fights went the distance.his lay n pray doesnt work against top 5 fighters.

I’m not talking about the comments people are making, I’m talking about the comments Silva has been making as of late. I know he’s great. But Silva lost the fight against Okami on his own with an illegal kick. How can he say anything bad about the way Okami won when it was his own fault. Do I think Silva will win their next fight. Yes. But he has no reason to talk down about Okami.

I’m a GSP fan, and I can say that it wasn’t a lucky shot. And Chonan’s sub of Silva wasn’t lucky either, it was perfect execution. But, it would be hard for Chonan to beat Anderson agai, and the same goes for Serra and GSP.

Silva runs his mouth a lot… he is extremely egotistical, just as english speaking, its tough to tell someone’s manner.

Id love to see Okami win, but highly doubt that can happen. The MW division is doomed due to all the competition that would fair well against Silva, are friends (Filho, Machida.) GSP needs to destroy Serra, then take a walk to 185..

Lutter was freaking lethargic !!!

Henderson wins 3 out 5? Are you on drugs? You say the only way he Silva beats Henderson is by submitting him? Are you crazy? What fight were you watching? Silva had Hendo rocked standing on his feet. The reason he went to the ground is cause Hendo was ducking and trying to move out of the way. He just took the fight where it was going…not because that is the only way he can win.

How’s that funny? I meant he wasn’t as crisp as we’re used to seeing. You disagree with that? Lutter was lethargic, just like you said, yet still took AS down multiple times and got him in full mount. I’d say that supports exactly what I said: It wasn’t AS’ best night.

I totally agree with you. This is very lame for Silva to accuse Oakami of being cowardly - what’s he supposed to do, not get illegally kicked? If anything, I think it was Silva being cowardly. In their bout, Okami was turning the tide, getting the takedown on Silva and starting a little ground and pound. Maybe it was Silva’s desperation and cowardice that forced him to use an illegal technique.

As for humility, the only opponent that Silva’s shown respect for is Franklin - and that’s after Franklin went out of his way to act honorably to Silva. Remember after the Silva/Henderson bout? Silva basically said that Henderson wasn’t a real champion. That seems highly disrespectful to me.

All that being said, I do believe that Silva is the better fighter between him and Okami. But I will be rooting for Okami in the rematch.

Silva has amazed me with the speed that he’s put away his past opponents, but I hope he doesn’t take Okami lightly. Thinking that Okami is a puss or thinking the he couldn’t stand up to Silva could leave a hole in his game just big enough to fit a fist through. Train hard, AS!

Silva is a punk and getting too big of a head i think. someone will hopefully deflate that ego of his soon.

Okami is a punk. No chance against the champ.

Okami is in for a nap in the first round. He got ko’ed in there first fight and he’ll get ko’ed in there next fight. Silva is progressively getting harder and harder to take down, and okami will have his work cut out for him, I predict if this fight ever happens silva wins by ko is round one.

Mahade said right.

Nate M. Travis L Rich F (2X) and Hendo were all suppose to be the one to nullify Anderson’s Mauy Thai bring him to the deck and GnP him right?? It never happened. 3 TKO’s 2 submissions..he has yet come out the second round in the UFC.

It’s harder for Serra, cause the element of surprise is gone. GSP knows to respect his hands..It should be a different this time around..I’m rooting for Serra..the under dog..I like GSP..but I rather to see Serra win..IMO.

This is the beauty of MMA..on any given night..anything can happen. I just hope GSP is not looking passed Serra again..talks about moving up in weight..he has yet to win and defend his belt. If he looks passed Serra b4 UFC 84..he might be looking up at him with blurred vision on his back…and he did tapout due to strikes.

Agreed, I was very disappointed in hendo and in the second round he looked terrible, hendo’s only chance is not to stand with silva and take him down every chance he gets. Nobody and I repeat Nobody can stand with silva very long before taking a nap, he’s that good, I’ve never see any mma fighter who looks as good as him on there feet. I agree with what someone mentioned earlier than serra is gsp’s ryo chonan and if silva fought chonan and when gsp fights serra these fights will end with a very different results. No two fights are the same and gsp and anderson are much better than anyone else in there weight class. I would put the betting odds for the gsp/serra fight at -1200 gsp, serra has so little chance this time, fighting the best gsp ever, coming off an injury, the betting odds should favor gsp much more this time than last time.

Silva is getting a little more outspoken lately…. is he getting a swelled head or is this the real Spider?….

I don’t know what fight you were watching because the one I watched Henderson won round one without doing much damage at all to Silva and Silva was picking him apart in round 2, rocking him with a nice knee before completely dominating him on the ground. Only way Henderson could of won was to keep Silva on his back for 5 rounds and win a decision but then again if Silva was on his back for 5 rounds there is a good chance that Henderson would have got caught in a submission.

id like to see silvas jaw truly tested

fighters need to talk up a fight

for a guy as dominant as he is
he seems suprisingly down to earth
there are a whole stack of fighters who have achieved far less and are far more arrogant

i dont think it makes much difference if silva is pissed off or not
look at the beatings he gave rich franklin who is a guy he has publicly stated that he likes and respects

in terms of damage hendo got off quite lightly

cant wait for the next silva fight
wouldnt like to guess who it is if okami is out with a broken hand and bisping already booked to fight captain miserable

would expect him to fight within 4 months which may not be long enough for okami to recover

silva sounds like he wants to punish okami, just like his last 7 opponents

Im with Silva, I dont think much of Okami either. He is a strong but boring guy, who had face a liver-less Tanner in order to actually finish a fight.

What does it matter who Silva faces? We know he isnt going to loose and it wont go past the 2nd round…Does the opponent really matter?

I’m sitting on the fence with this one.

I love Silva but I don’t know where all the animosity is coming from. Silva is usually such a respectful fighter.

Wasnt the reason why Silva looked different in the Lutter fight because he just had knee surgery on both legs and was coming back early?

anderson silva is unstopable in 185 the only chances of him losing is by moving up to 205. about GSP if he couldnt last 1 round standing with MATT SERRA then he couldnt las 30 seconds with ANDERSON SILVA

“People that were there saw that he was in the condition to come back and keep fighting”

Okami was unconcious was he not? At least damn near close to it.

Call me crazy but I would like to see Spider vs. Spida…. Kendell Grove vs. Anderson Silva… thios fight will NEVER happen because Grove will never be good enough to deserve a title shot. I would still like to see this fight because I am curious to see Anderson perform against a fighter who has a reach advantage over him. I dont really remember Silva ever fighting someone he didnt have a reach advantage over.

Ok, I will admit it, maybe I just want to see Kendall’s little head get Knocked off! As mis matched as this fight would be, it has to be more exciting than Okami vs. Silva.

I honestly dont think Okami has anything for Silva. He is a strong guy, but Silva is deceptively strong. Most of his UFC opponents thought they would be able to out muscle Silva: Hendo, franklin, Marquardt, and tey were all shocked at how deceptively strong Silva was…. I dont think Okami has anything to threaten Silva with.

From an excitment point of view, I would rather Silva face someone like Belcher or Cote that will try to stand with the spider… I guess it doesnt really matter, since no one in the UFC’s middleweight division can beat Silva, I am sure he will eventually go through everyone!

Okami has a good chance against Silva. Once Silva has broken his knuckles/elbows on Okami’s face, injured his forearms on Okami’s neck and knees on Okami’s ribs he will be open totally to Okami’s special ‘bore him til his brain starts to bleed attacks’ Okami wins via exploding brain round 5 ha ha
OK meanwhile back on planet earth Okami gets his ass handed to him by Silva in 2 rounds.

[quote comment=”360662″]How could Okami win??[/quote]

He’s not really the offensive dominant type. He is reserved and fights more from the defensive side. This is Silva’s last test in MW. Fighting someone who wont let you hurt them. If Silva wins this, he needs to move up to LHW where his chin and endurance can be tested, because there would be absolutely no set of skills left in MW to test his abilities. Call me crazy, but Im going to put this fight at 50/50. Like I said, Okami may not hurt you too bad, but can wear you down to put you in a position to hurt you and is quite the bitch to defeat. I expect Anderson to utilize his kicks and make Okami come forward. If Okami can ward off Silva’s kicks and come in safely with the power he has, I expect Silva to be in trouble.

Why do people insist on lumping GSP in with Silva? I don’t think any fighter is unbeatable, but of the two Silva is much closer to unbeatable than GSP. Silva hasn’t actually been beaten in the ring in three years and has finished his nine wins since that loss (DQ to Okami excluded) in under two rounds. GSP has a couple losses in the octagon and several decisions, at least one of which was questionable. These two are not on the same level. That goes for BJ Penn too.

Automation…. I just read my post, and maybe I do come off as a Raging Lunatic today! I am just stressed! I got final exams all this week and next week. Still I dont think Okami has anything exciting to offer to a fight. Since Dana has been all about excitement instead of who actually deserves title shots, I am surprised that Okami is even getting a title shot, but he has earned it so whatever… Just have to enjoy another highlight KO by Silva.

It really doesnt matter who silva faces, Hendo, Leben, Franklin, Honestly, they all look the same when they are fighting the Spider!

In the next couple of years watch out for THales Leites, he is one of my favorite up and coming middleweights and I hope he does Fight Marquardt, because after beating Him, that should put Lietes on the map!

i agree, as much as i like GSP and BJ, silva is in another world right now…i think bj is getting there but he is only a visitor, and silva is the merciless dictator. but, we’ll first have to see how he does against the muscle shark to really consider that right now.

silva reminds me of jones in his prime. i am hard pressed to think of anyone that could move up or down to beat him. he would likely have to move up or down to lose.

has anybody thought that maybe Silva is acting up in order to get some hype going?? He gets paid less than former champ Rich Franklin still doesn’t he?? Mybe because he just doesn’t draw fans [despite how dominant he is]

I think its all an act to get the Spider the recognition he deserves =p

I agree with Silva…I don’t think much of Okami either…and if they fight…I think it will be hard to find much left of Okami…Silva would dismantle him…However, since Okami is involved…this will be Silva’s most boring fight…until Okami is picking off pieces of his face from Silva’s knee!

[quote comment=”360474″]I think this talk from Silva is just part of the UFC marketing to make something more of this fight than it is. Silva is going to blow through Okami and everyone knows it so how do you sell the fight? Easy, with a little trash talk and a little controversy. That’s all this is. That being said, I still can’t see this being a main event. Maybe put it as a co-main event on the Rampage/Griffin card. That might work.[/quote]
[quote comment=”360476″]Why is Silva acting like such a punk toward Okami? He’s the one who delivered the illegal kick, how do you blame Okami for you not knowing the rules? Plus, after he illegally kicked Okami in the face, he fights with the ref like he’s trying to get at a downed Okami to hit him again! I’m wondering if Silva is really as humble and respectful as he’s often made out to be.[/quote]
[quote comment=”360545″]And how was it a cheap and cowardly way of winning? He did make the illegal move, not Okami. Not saying Anderson is a coward or anything lol, just that he shouldn’t talk like that if he’s the one who threw the up kick to his downed opponent.[/quote]

Ok, I only read half the posts so I’m not sure if someone already brought this up, but it’s obvious you guys don’t quite get what silva is saying here. He “feels” okami was not knocked out when he kicked him in the face, and laid on the floor as he was. This is the reason silva got frustrated after the ref stopped him. That’s the reason the fight got stopped and okami won by DQ. Now, we can argue if okami really was out or not, but Anderson is calling okami a coward because he feels he was not out, and chose the easy way of winning by DQ.

Just to be clear, if okami would’ve gotten up right after that kick, the fight would have continued with the judges taking a point away from silva.

is it really neccessary for silva to go through the actions and beat up okami again?…

- the fans aren’t dying to see it ( i’m not )
- it doesn’t avenge any loss because that DQ wasn’t a real loss.
- Okami might be #1 contender but lost to Franklin. We all know what happenned to Franklin.
- the win for spider won’t prove to us anything we didn’t already know.

pretty much pointless. he should start looking ouside UFC MW division for real game.

[quote post=”5304″]anderson silva is unstopable in 185 the only chances of him losing is by moving up to 205. about GSP if he couldnt last 1 round standing with MATT SERRA then he couldnt las 30 seconds with ANDERSON SILVA [/quote]

I think you will see it’s Serra not GSP who is outmatched wherever the fight goes, ground included. GSP won’t take him lightly this time and probably going to take him down and pound him out. He’s become a more balanced fighter since joining the Jackson camp and really good at controlling the fight.

In MMA anyone can win at anytime, it doesn’t appear there’s many who could dethrone Silva at 185 right now. But hey fights aren’t won on paper are they. I think the longer Silva reigns as champ the more he will relax and be more likely to be defeated. That being said I still don’t see Silva losing in the immediate future.

Yeah if anything this smells like a lot of fight hype, not a thrilling match up for many or me at least. If ya think Silva messed up Franklin bad, man wait until this massacre if it goes down. Okami can’t lay n pray his way to a decision with this man, if Silva is as determined to get revenge as he sounds… well it would sure suck to be Okami on that night.

[quote post=”5304″]Why do people insist on lumping GSP in with Silva? I don’t think any fighter is unbeatable, but of the two Silva is much closer to unbeatable than GSP. Silva hasn’t actually been beaten in the ring in three years and has finished his nine wins since that loss (DQ to Okami excluded) in under two rounds. GSP has a couple losses in the octagon and several decisions, at least one of which was questionable. These two are not on the same level. That goes for BJ Penn too.[/quote]

Mainly due to their simular fighting styles I’d assume, both are such dynamic stand up fighters. Where Silva is on another level is his killer instinct and mindpower, I feel like GSP has gotten better but still lacks some mental toughness at times. I agree Silva is on a completely different level then anyone else right now, a jump to 205 may bring him back down and challenge him way more then the staying at the 185 division. I wouldn’t blame him for staying put and cementing his legacy, but as a fan I’d love to see him move up where some badass fights are garaunteed.

similar fighting styles. r u serious? their fighting styles are damn near opposite

[quote comment=”360972″][quote comment=”360954″][quote comment=”360873″]Call me crazy but I would like to see Spider vs. Spida…. Kendell Grove vs. Anderson Silva… thios fight will NEVER happen because Grove will never be good enough to deserve a title shot. I would still like to see this fight because I am curious to see Anderson perform against a fighter who has a reach advantage over him. I dont really remember Silva ever fighting someone he didnt have a reach advantage over.

Ok, I will admit it, maybe I just want to see Kendall’s little head get Knocked off! As mis matched as this fight would be, it has to be more e
