cry Baby
I was embarrassed by Anderson's attitude... not only did he disrespect his opponent, he disrespected all Brazilians... he was extremely unsportsmanlike... Sonnen must be very amused...!!!!
It wasn't a fight...it was an exchange of favors$$$$$$$$$$$$.
It's good to see Anderson lose, he lost due to his own arrogance and lack of respect for people
It was the price of retirement! They fixed this figure so he wouldn't face real fighters. This Cris doesn't last a real fight. As a Brazilian and especially at the current moment, it was an embarrassment. His bill just got a little fatter!
At the very least Anderson Silva has to go for a rematch to minimize the fans' disappointment due to this lack of respect.
Holiday in the USA? lol holiday for the American Anderson Silva who didn't even have the respect to disguise the $$$ he pocketed, and doesn't even want a rematch!!!
the difference of
Anderson underestimated his opponent, “making fun of” the other fighter came in to decide. Anderson also wonders if you sold out!!! Because technically and with more experience to win, his opponent close to Anderson only had the will and determination to win!!!
ADERSON IS TECHNICALLY AND MORE EXPERIENCED, BETTER THAN HIS OPPONENT, THE GUY HAS JUST GRIT AND WILL TO WIN. ANDERSON WAS VERY CLEAR THAT HE UNDERSTANDED, AND GLOBO WHICH HAS THE MONOPOLY COMMENTING ON THIS END OF THE FIGHT. WHAT A SHAME YOU COULD END YOUR CAREER ANY OTHER WAY!!!
Weidman is a tough guy, good, but technically limited compared to Silva, but with heavy fists, Silva felt, I'm Brazilian, but Anti-Anderson Silva!!! #Anti-Sports!!!
Anderson has always been this: a lot of arrogance, a thin womanly voice and little determination.
I'm a UFC fan, I've been following MMA fights for years and I've never seen a fighter disrespect his opponent like Anderson did this morning. This country is going through a moment where we ask for ethics, respect and morals and that is exactly what we did not see!!! It was a deplorable show...this is already a much criticized sport and how can a champion get into the ring and act like that. We Brazilians cannot be represented by this citizen
FOR THOSE WHO SPOKEN AFTER THE WEIGH-INS WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXAMPLES THAT WILL BE SET FOR BRAZIL, YESTERDAY'S FIGHT (OR, BETTER, THE UFC'S FARCE) EXCEEDS THE LIMITS OF A “SIMPLE” NATIONAL SHAME AND BECOMES THE WORST BAD EXAMPLE THAT SILVA COULD HAVE GIVE YOUR CHILDREN, AND US BRAZILIANS, WELL TIRED OF THE PUBLIC MALVERSATION OF OUR POLITICAL “REPRESENTATIVES”. ONLY A REMATCH, WITH SERIOUSNESS AND PROFESSIONALISM, WITHOUT ANCHING, WILL ERASE THIS STAIN THAT HE LEFT ON THE WORLD.
until finally someone had the calm to defeat the marento, lucky and disrespectful fighting clown andinho; or silvinha. I just needed someone focused who doesn't pay attention to those idiocies, he lives with that now asshole.
We found a real clown to replace Vera Verão from the square and wow, a real disrespect towards the Brazilian people who stayed awake apart from those who were in bars spending their time until this laughing show started
YOU ARE WEAK ANDERSON DISGUSTED
I think overconfidence is what got in the way of Anderson Silva, Globo Gloriou Demais o Lutador.
ANDERSON SILVA "THE NATIONAL SHAME" THIS IS THE WAY HE SHOULD BE SEEN NOW, WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A PERSON WHO AFTER THE FIGHT, THANKED THE AMERICANS AND NOT THE BRAZILIANS, THIS PROVES THAT HE WAS THERE TO MAKE MONEY AND NOT HONOR OUR CALLED COUNTRY WITH SO MUCH INJUSTICE, THANK YOU ANDERSON SILVA FOR MAKING OUR COUNTRY “BRAZIL” GO THROUGH ANOTHER SHAME LIKE THIS, LOSING IS NOT SHAME, SHAME IS LOSING THE WAY YOU LOST “ASSHOLE”
Andeson, I'm ashamed to have your name. You're ashamed of me….
I'm ashamed to have the name Silva
