    ANDERSON SILVA'S CLOWN WAS SO BIG AND RIDICULOUS THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIMSELF AND HIS BOSS WHO MADE THE BET. IT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE THE WAY HE FIGHTED

      BAD CHARACTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      WHAT IS HIS AND HIS FOLLOWERS' MORALS TO TALK ABOUT VITOR BELFORT, WHO WHENEVER HE LOST, IT WAS WITH HOMBRECY AND DIGNITY, A REAL MAN!
      INCLUDING WHEN HE LOST TO ANDERSON, HE APPEARED AT THE CONFERENCE WITH A HEAD THAT LOOKED LIKE AN ELEPHANT, BUT HE WAS STILL THERE, LIKE A MAN!!!!!! NOT AS A THUG!!!!!!

      hey man he may have underestimated waidmam but he was forced by dana whithe by the sponsors to lose the fight and besides he regretted it, he's going after that title again and this time he won't be forced to lose.
      You ignorant hypocrite! You're insulting Anderson without knowing the case, I want to see when he gets this belt back if you're going to talk bad about him, he was the hero of the nation for 7 years straight, he was the only Brazilian athlete who had an unparalleled level.
      If you're the one talking about this, you'd better know the subject first!

    Perhaps this explains why fighter Anderson Silva declared the following sentence: “If people knew what happened in the 2013 UFC, they would be disgusted!

    All Brazilians were shocked and sad to watch Anderson Silva, the greatest fighter of all time, lose his UFC belt in Las Vegas. Should not.

    What is exposed below is the first-hand news that is being investigated by radio stations and newspapers from all over Brazil and some foreigners, more specifically the Wall Street Journal of Americas and the Washington Post and should appear in the media soon, as soon as the evidence are collected and confirm the facts.

    Proven fact:
    Brazil SOLD the belt.

    The Brazilian fighter was informed, at 13:00 pm on July 06th (fight day), in a meeting involving Mr. Dana White (the only time the UFC president attended a fight briefing), Coach Luiz Dórea, Mr. Anderson Silva, main fighter, Ronaldo Fenômeno, representing 9ine and Mr. Ronald Rhovald, representative of sponsor Nike.

    The fighters on the preliminary cards remained in isolation, in their rooms or in the hotel lobby. At first very upset, Anderson Silva refused to exchange the belt so that Brazil could host the next UFC.

    Acceptance came through the total payment of the prizes, US$70.000,00 for each member of the stadium, plus a bonus of US$400.000,00 for all preparers and committee members, for a total of US$23.000.000,00 twenty-three million dollars) through the company Nike.

    Furthermore, the fighter who accepts the contract with the company Nike over the next 4 years will have the same prize bases as the company's elite fighters, such as Silva himself, Spider from Brazil, St Pierre from Canada and José Aldo, also from Brazil.

    Even so, Silva refused to fight, which forced Dana to call a press conference, saying that Silva had problems with his left knee (in the first news released at 13:30 pm in the press center) and, soon after, at 14 pm: 15, changing the prognosis for stomach problems).

      It looks like the same text, about the Libertadores final between Corinthians and Boca. Revealed about Riquelme's statements where he said that “If the fans knew what happened in Leberta in 2011 and 2012 they would be sick”.

    It was in your face. It’s Gerson’s Law being followed to the letter…

    The super champion couldn't resist the high stakes and freed himself from the obligation of always having to win. Now he can enjoy his life a little more.

    • Michael said:

      Man, can't you tell that AS was FORCED to hand over the belt????
      Just understand what he said in the octagon when he lost the fight: “Guys, I'm not fighting for the belt anymore”, in other words, the guy was PUTOOOO.
      Soon after, Dana White said “he didn’t know what he was saying”….. AFFFFFFFF
      Conclusion, he didn't deliver, he was forced to deliver….

    opniaõ.
    In my opinion, the fight was bought, because the loser fighter gave in, the fight, allowing himself to be knocked out, that the fighter Anderson Silva gave up the fight, leaving himself to be shipwrecked where millions of dollars were, ,in a bet..this is normal,,in a fight,,it's not the first time this has happened i,, it won't even be the second..

  7. Newton said:

    If there are combined results in European football, why not in the UFC? Where there's gambling, there's tumbling, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. Putz!*

  8. This news is meaningless. Since when did someone bet 1 million on the underdog to receive 3,2 million. If it were to receive ten times this amount it could be. In jockeying, this is the prize paid by the favorite.

  9. LUGO said:

    IT’S VERY SUSPICIOUS, THE WAY THE FIGHT WAS AND THIS BET, WHO WOULD BE CRAZY TO PUT $1.000.000,00 IN FAVOR OF ZEBRA……VERY SUSPICIOUS!!

  10. Fernando Tubino said:

    betting a lot on the favorite as the loser has always been a Brazilian way of making money, especially in racing, why couldn't it be used in the USA by the “spiderman”, to, in the rematch, enhance the title fight? anything can happen in betting, especially with Brazilians competing in the game…………………Spain says so, right Felipão????

    Does anyone have any doubts that the defeat was arranged???

  13. Cicero Dias said:

    Yesterday I didn't think that Anderson Silva could have lost on purpose. I saw the sequence several times.
    Today, watching other times, I thought he felt he had been touched or punched and continued with his guard down. I think this is the moment that deserves further analysis. How is it that a fighter doesn't react instinctively when he feels that the other's hand touches him, hits him in the face? It wasn't a punch that took him out of focus on the fight, the impression it gives is that he didn't react, he didn't raise his guard because he didn't want to. He left his face for someone else to hit. I've seen him take a punch and he's ready to react. Here it seems he did the opposite, he waited for other punches…
    I would like to read the opinion of someone who understands fighting well.
    I refer to the movements, not the personality of the AS, etc.

    for a “sport” that makes the opponent bleed…. that's not enough... well done to those who enjoy this circus… where there are more clowns than artists……..and it’s not in the ring…

    THE UFC IS IN CHECK, I wonder if this is a setup, the box went to the canvas because of this and the UFC has no prestige….

    Just, really, being too naive not to realize that everything was nothing more than a shameful MARMELADE, starring a trifle of R$ 1.400.000,00.

    Wow, they discovered my bet, what bad luck….

  18. moulting said:

    Phenomenal Ronaldo made this One Million Dollar bet….

    The two went out to celebrate after the fight…

    Hi…
    Look, Spider took more hits in the Sonen fight than with Cris and won…. and now “just one punch” the spider fell?????
    I think the police are right to investigate, yes, not because I'm Brazilian and I don't want to admit the defeat that our champion suffered, but it was very easy...
    I think those who follow and know the fights well agree with me.

    Well, if the guy was sponsored by corin11ans, which is sponsored by CEF, there you have it. There is no shortage of Maracutaia, not even in CEF (lotteries) and Corin11ans (referees, Russian mafia, Kia, Boris).

  23. walter stort junior said:

    I commented the day after the fight that there was a bet behind this and certainly his own!!! Where there's smoke there's fire . What happened was a shame for us Brazilians. At the end of the fight, in an interview with the Combate channel, he was “respecting his opponent too much and was dying to leave the scene.”

    Anderson Silva was a coward, he gave up the fight. I don't watch this clown fighting anymore. He thinks Brazilians are stupid, he's stupid, this clown, sooner or later I'm sure the American police will discover these antics and punish everyone involved.

    The phenomenon turned yellow and handed over the World Cup to FRANCE. He still reaps the rewards to this day. Do you think he wouldn't induce Anderson Silva, for a few million, to hand over the belt?

  29. rogerio said:

    Ronaldo has already sold a World Cup and wherever he puts his hand there are frames, this fat guy is worthless.

    WHERE ARE THE SPIDER FANS???????
    ONLY WITH PASSIONAL DEFENSE TO DEFEND IT!
    WHAT MORALS DO YOU HAVE TO SPEAK ABOUT SAINT PIERRE, let alone PASTOR VITOR BELFORT, WHO SO MUCH OF HIS FANS LIKE TO DISRESPECT.
    VITOR BELFORT….POSSIBLY BETTER THAN ANDERSON, CERTAINLY MORE WORTHY!!!!!!!!!

  31. Ricardo said:

    It's as always, in Brazil we revere those who never deserved it. And the laymen's phrase “the best fighter pound for pound” whoever writes it doesn't even know what it means. There is no magic, anyone who fights with their guard down gets knocked out. because all of this is set up to make a lot of money from the unwary. A false legend is created and pockets are filled. And just to inform the clueless idiots, Dana White has never been nor will be the “OWNER, PRESIDENT” of the UFC (he is just a bucha) the real owners are the Ferttita brothers who own 18 Casinos in the USA http://vip.abril.com.br/boa-vida/luta/os-bilionarios-donos-do-ufc/. Since when do gambling owners act honestly? Give it a break. And there are still those who feel sorry for AS, the poor guy was under pressure. What pressure? filling your ass with money? If he didn't make money like that, what would he be? With his intelligence and culture and all that arrogance, he could be a construction worker or a flannel. They say that the country is waking up and it's a fact, enjoy it and stay real too. Enough of this farce. And the question from AS's manager, Ed Soares, who said: “if he came in to lose, why didn't he end up in a leg lock in round 1?” The answer is simple. The $1 million bet made against AS, who paid $3,2 million and which is being investigated by the FBI, is not a simple bet, it was a multiple bet that agreed on how and in which round he would lose, in other words : By knockout and in the second round. What a guess, huh? You bet $1 million on this without knowing anything? What it is?????????????

  32. rhugo said:

    If he gives the fight, he's even more disgusting because a bunch of idiots spend time defending him, spend money to follow his fights, a team of coaches dedicate themselves to training him and the guy gives the fight, that's the Brazilian idol ? What is sold for money? disgusting mala the more you talk about him the clearer it becomes how fake and disgusting he is. You idiot who keeps sucking up to him kkkkk sucks while idolizing him cheering he sells himself by shitting and walking for you kkkkkkkkkk

  33. Avaniksin melo said:

    The phenomenon is like that! For him, people are just another way to make easy money! The people do not need hospitals or a clean fight. In his view, the people need to be deceived. The chubby Ronaldo should go and be president of BRAZIL, he is showing that he would be an example for these corrupt politicians that we have here in the nation! Sell ​​it to Mae for a few more bucks! RONALDO I was a fan of his, today you SHAME me!

  34. Dinhobraz said:

    I'm embarrassed, Anderson Silva threw the Brazilians' names into the mud, the fight was also bought for 1,8 million, he's a bad character, but Victor Belfort, that's the real Brazilian guy, I'm sorry.

  35. INEXPLICABLE! REALLY HEAD THING. Terrible behavior from Anderson; inelegant, disrespectful towards the fans and the opponent. He went from “good guy” to “bad guy”. -The behavior in the ring was shocking, but the defeat was not.

  36. Alex said:

    Impressive! Where Brazilians are involved there is corruption.

  37. Lucas said:

    He's a tough guy, you know, disgusting, bossy, disgusting, I was disgusted by this guy like I've never been disgusted by anyone. The fact is, Anderson Silva, that everyone in life can have a setback at any time, it's a fact. Now selling your honor for money like a prostitute is your own choice and you chose this path, the easiest of all.
    I hope that life gives you a great lesson showing that money is just a piece of paper and they produce more every hour, now maintaining honor is something for real men, people with noble hearts. Humility too, it won't make you better than anyone else but it will make you different from many. And now without honor and humility you are just another one, for me you are no longer an example of dedication and perseverance. Quite the contrary, he will be a person who I will take as an example to explain to my children how not to act. Bad character, it still comes with the hypocrisy of saying that we weren't your fans, that's where you made a mistake. Yes, WE WERE, but whoever has common sense “WILL NEVER BE AGAIN, WILL NEVER BE”, AS YOU YOURSELF KEEP SAYING.
