Unrepentant and hurt! Like this Anderson Silva opened up after losing the UFC belt to Chris Weidman. A week after the knockout suffered at UFC 162, Spider received Brazilian TV at his home in the United States and complained about the attitude of some fans.
Anderson did not hide his disappointment with some of the fans after the setback. When asked about the complaints he received from the public on social media about his behavior in the octagon, Anderson was emphatic: “This shows that the fans weren't that big of a fan,” said the former champion, in an interview with the “Fantástico” program. from Rede Globo.
Spider also listened to big names in the sport analyzing their behavior in the Octagon. Former boxers Servílio de Oliveira and Acelino Popó, coach Renzo Gracie and fighter Vitor belfort There were some names that didn't like Anderson's stance in the clash. Upon hearing the criticism, Silva, appearing very calm, responded without showing regret for his attitude.
“I consider myself a complete fighter and I have always fought that way. It worked all this time, right? And me doing all the things I did, the provocations and with my guard down... If the criticism had come from Muhammad Ali, who is a guy I admire a lot, I would accept it, but not like this”, said the UFC's biggest record holder , who confirmed the date for the rematch against the North American.
“It’s not time to retire yet. Chris (Weidman) gave me the opportunity for a rematch and I will fight him on December 28th”, he added.
the fight between Anderson Silva was the main attraction of UFC 162, an event held on the 6th. During the fight, Spider abused the provocations, letting his guard down, asking to be hit and even dancing in front of the North American. And in one of these moments of provocation, he was surprised and knocked out. After the setback, Anderson considered retirement, but decided against it and will rematch Weidman at UFC 168, on December 28, in Las Vegas.

It's a good thing he wins, because next time, we're going to root against him to learn a little humility, which it seems in this matter Anderson hasn't learned yet.
Your attitude towards the fans is regrettable, disrespect will be shown from the weigh-in, interview after, start of the fight, you stopped greeting your opponent, conduct during the fight, interview after, you are a big lie, didn't you say you weren't fighting anymore? He has lost credibility and comes to demand, he has to be humble and apologize for the stupid things he did.
We are fans!! What we didn't admit was the exaggerated clowning!!!
People just have to understand that whoever enters the cage is him and the opponent!!
And many times you have to make your opponent make mistakes, and this is not disrespectful towards the fans, he is hurt by so much criticism!!
Imagine, you go onto your social page and it's your country, your fans are all cursing you because you lost!!
He needs to respect his fans first….for me now I only support him…..until he learns to fight like a man
Let Ronda read this...
It's just that Brazil is tired of irresponsible people and kidding, that's all. The people know when it's serious or not. So the fact of being Brazilian at this time isn't everything. What we saw was a folkloric thing from those who are disdainful.
Anderson, I am and will always be your fan, criticism only comes so that I can be criticized.
Continue being this athlete and above all this man of integrity, good luck in your life.
He sucks the guy's ass... He must be as arrogant as he is...
Get on your ass you idiot, the guy has always fought like this, so why does he lose playing the same game and talking shit?
And his only mistake was keeping his legs parallel!!
They were fans, yes, but this relationship (fan
I was never a fan, an engfanador runs away from all fights, why has he never faced Jon Jones? I'm a Belford fan, he's not afraid, he didn't even give Belford a rematch, the fearful deception is over
Anderson Silva is a middleweight; Jon Jones, light heavyweight... the fight between the two was always expected as a duel of the titans... but it was certainly a move that D. White would use later as an epic duel... meanwhile, Anderson Silva continued fighting with the medium...
Belfort is shit, and nothing more than a fake!!
And Dana is the one who decides the fights, the fighters only accept it!!

Dear Anderson Silva,
Your fight was a disgrace, you did not honor our country, a lot of jokes in a fight that would have been worth the belt, you are no longer the “spider” but a “frog”. A sold fight, he completely lost the morale he had in his sport. Your entire career was ruined by one fight and you still come up with this nonsense, you were already in MMA.
They were your fans, asshole... the difference is that fans like to see their idol be a real professional and you were a jerk!!!! Mind you Anderson, you're a shit and you were afraid of winning and Dana White forcing you to get JonJhones…..you can't stand that one……bye bye xupinça!!!
The point is not to lose, because no one is invincible! The point is to lose like you lost. To begin with, the belt was already his, so why go for it? Let the new guy come after!
I would like to understand the criticisms, he really always fought this way to destabilize his opponent, if he had won it would have been a show, but as he lost he was disrespectful. I think fans should revisit Anderson's fights and realize that it's his style to fight like that. I believe that perhaps in the next fight he will pay more attention to what he does and be more restrained. I'm still a big fan of his and he continues to be the greatest champion of all. When someone surpasses him or at least equals him, perhaps he will have the morale to criticize the champion in some way.
I think like you, it seems that critics don't follow Anderson Silva's career and don't understand his fight strategy, the comments
They are irrational! It sounds like my grandmother talking about football.ia
SOLD!
You're right Anderson... they weren't all fans, just as YOU weren't the idol we imagined after that joke. This is a ring and not a SPIDER riding arena. Learn this! WHAT YOU DID WAS DISGRACEFUL!
Being a fan is one thing, enjoying clowning is another thing… What Anderson did tarnishes martial arts and the UFC, which is already more commercial than any other program.
He wasn't that much of a fighter...
THIS ANDERSON DID NOT SHOW HUMILITY AND UNDERESTIMATED HIS OPPONENT. IT WAS THE ATTITUDE OF A KID. RESPECT IS GOOD AND WE ALL LIKE IT. THEY ARE WANTING TO PUT THE BLAME ON THE FANS. IT WAS THE UFC'S BIGGEST SHAME. HE HAD TOTAL CONDITIONS OF FINISHING CRIS IN THE SECOND ROUND BUT HE WAS JOKING AND MOCKING. GOT IT IN THE FACE.
This started since he admitted that he is a Corinthians fan…..this race is hated throughout Brazil.
The problem is that no one likes clowning and that's what he did...
Zero humility from this guy. How does he want people to support him, with a totally disrespectful attitude towards his rival? The fact that Brazilians support him does not mean that they support this stance. Brazil is hungry for idols. Anderson Silva has shown he has the potential to be an idol, but he stumbles with his arrogance, inside and outside the ring. As a Brazilian, I will continue to support him, but I will never agree with this type of stance.
After Anderson Silva, declared himself a Corinthians fan, signed a contract, wore a shirt at weigh-ins and started carrying the Corinthians symbol on his “uniform”, I, like the vast majority of fans of other clubs in Brazil, created apathy towards the fighter. . You shouldn't mix things up. If the strategy was to bring more fans to the athlete, this maneuver showed that this was a huge shot in the foot.
And this isn't just limited to Anderson Silva. The great MMA legend, Rodrigo Minotauro, is also following the same path, celebrating his achievements with the Inter de Porto Alegre flag in hand.
I bet that if the greatest idol of national sport, the late Ayrton Senna, instead of celebrating with the Brazilian flag but with that of Corinthians (of which he was a fan) or any other club, his idolatry wouldn't have been so great either. how it was. Here's a tip from Anderson Silva.
It's just that corruption is so entangled in the instruments and institutions in Brazil that we no longer believe the things we are told, especially those that we see in a very strange way. As we saw long before the fight Spiderman practically prophesying his defeat, kind of preparing the crowd for the worst, including on television, and then we saw a peaceful fight, with a meaningless second round, we think there was a plot, that there were negotiations for the outcome. I think we have reasons to think this way and Mr. Anderson Silva should understand this calmly. We are fans as long as we think we are not being deceived. Then we were disappointed. I suggest that in the next fight he believes he will win, announces his victory in advance, just like Wideman did, goes in to win and fights with the desire to win. If the defeat happens, we will understand perfectly. That didn't happen this time. We're sorry!
OF COURSE WE'RE ROOTING, BUT THIS FIGHT IS CHOKED UP, BECAUSE WHERE HAVE WE SEEN GIVING UP OUR GUARDS TO TAKE A BUMBA IN THE WAY LIKE THAT. IT IS EITHER VERY NAIVE OR AN IDIOT WHO DOES THAT.
He lost because he didn't know how to be humble enough to see his opponent's skill, and such arrogance shows itself best when he says he only accepts criticism from Muhammad Ali, he has to reevaluate himself for the next fight.
THAT'S WHY I WON'T SEE ANY FIGHTS FROM THIS GUY AGAIN, WHO PLAYED WITH THE BRAZILIANS IN A DIRTY WAY.
This guy Spider Mem (Andersom Silva) is a real tough guy, he made 180.000.000 million Brazilians stay awake and others even paid to watch that shit do that joke, oh you fool if I knew you were going to do that joke , I had bought a ticket to a circus, I would certainly have spent my money better. Then you're sucking up to Americans, so don't come to Brazil.
It cost…..
Ahh…. We're not that big of a fan??
and you ?? You’re not that much of a fighter either… after all, you were disrespectful to us who were your fans… do you think, where did you see yourself, selling out…. This just makes us think that everyone is like that, that everything that goes on in the media is a hoax... that's all, sir. Anderson Silva !!!
I feel sorry for you, you must have been starving to have done that, do you want a basic food basket??
And regarding having a REVANCHE, I think it's unnecessary, because you're going to want to show us what???? What are you really in charge of? ugh, spare me go ANDERSON SILVADICULO!!
#WORLDWIDE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT BEFORE, NOW THERE'S NO USE OF COMING AND WANTING TO PIN US, YOUR EX-FANS, BECAUSE THIS ALL HAPPENED DUE TO YOUR ATTITUDES, NOW YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES. EVEN THE WORST FIGHTER WINS, WE WANT THE TRUTH, NOTHING MORE FAIR!!!
ATT: AMANDA ASSIS
And who said anyone is a puppet fan? AS, you are at most a waste of time, restrain yourself.
The demonstrations were successful, now it's time for demonstrations here. 'LET'S TURN OFF THE TV AT FIGHT TIME”
Dear friend Anderson,
Didn't you know, that fans go from love to hate in a matter of minutes?
Just step on the ball…
The people felt stupid about this citizen's bravado. If he was serious, he wouldn't have gone through with it, but he acted like a brat and got paid.
The street demonstrations were successful, now let's demonstrate here; ' Let's turn off the TV at fight time. Oh I want to see if they won't stop playing with us
Who does this figure think he is??? You're thinking!!!
Turn off the TV at fight time and let's hit Donna on the jaw
Anderson. He had never seen a fight until this final one. I did it because I had become a new fan. It was the biggest disappointment I've had and I admit that I never want to see another fight again. I thought you would have the manliness to apologize to all those who stayed late into the night to see a show, but what they saw was the greatest lack of respect and anti-sporting attitudes. Now, with your interview in Fantastic, I proved that you don't even deserve the slightest respect. Does that mean you're hurt by your fans? You make me laugh. You are not an athlete, but a comedian who has a lot to learn. Have you ever stopped to think about the hundreds or thousands of young people (I'm talking about children still incapable of forming an opinion) who were inspired by you? Have you ever stopped to think about what message you left for them?
Maybe the fans weren't that big of a fan. Who knows, “The IDOL might not be such an IDOL.”
Are you bothered by the attitude of your fans? Didn't you hear the booing from the entire gym? Did you hear just one applauding you? Have you ever read someone talking well about your fight?
Ah Anderson, they shouldn't have warned you, Muhammad Ali is not your fan and didn't even watch your fight. “Lower the Ball” since you don’t even know how to use the guard.
Mr. Anderson Silva, the point is not that we weren't such fans, I saw the Gracie fight, with that incredible determination, I followed you in all your fights, but this last one was ridiculous, it's okay that you always used this form, now to remind you , against Sonen the first time you didn't use it, the second time you didn't either, there were a few more fights of yours there where you didn't use this scheme of yours, asshole, let me tell you in passing, and remembering about the rematch, you yourself said you wouldn't fight, Now you're saying that he gave you the opportunity, the owner of the UFC was the one who told you to fight, and every day it becomes clearer that this fight was fixed. sad but it's the truth
The “fans” hated the way “DEFEAT” marmela” happened – You expressed that you are tired, you should have handed over the BELT (returned) – without going through this nonsense! Senna lost several times, the TEAMS lose several times, the problem is the way it happens! WHEN THERE IS NO TRUE COMBAT! Honestly, your interview made the shameful CASE worse! The fans who criticize are good fans, their attitude in the fight was bad - and now in the terrible interview. You are without an advisor!
Look, after the antics made in the ring, I think the Anderson Silva era is over.
He was a clown, an idiot, arrogantly boasting that he thought he was the best.
He was beaten with a bow and now he's crying his eyes out for fear of losing his sponsors.
It's no use, it's gone.
go to the farm or bbb
or pose for G MAGAZINE.
Your fans were Corinthians my friend, from the moment you passed over the rest of the country, you only cultivated a fan base, and you will never again have the support and respect of other nationals.
Good luck... bro.
He didn't do it at the entrance but he did it at the exit, and he still thinks, a professional can't act that way, he's content with the crap he's already earned, that's something for clueless kids, it's better to go back to Brazil and go back to your origins as a bricklayer.
The guy makes a big deal of it and still wants to comment…
Keep quiet, it's better!
Poor people who need heroes... We, Brazilians, don't know how to value a second place, a runner-up,
Anderson has been the UFC's biggest champion all these years and the fact that he loses a fight already disqualifies him from even being a nightclub door security guard, according to his detractors!
The same idiot who criticizes him without any basis will come back drooling when Spider destroys Chris in the rematch.
Firstly, I'm not your fan, I want you to fuck off, to me you're nothing more than a disgusting arrogant person, fuck you and everyone is rooting for you...
They are all fans. But from the fighting Anderson, not from the Super Astro. I just think he tripped over the confetti. Deep down he knows this. He even said in the interview that he lost to himself. If you don't get real, you'll lose again, which would be a huge shame for Brazilian fans.
Manezão yes. What does he think of the Brazilian people? Working for minimum wage and believing he was honoring our country out there. He has no shame on his face. SOLD!!!!!
You FOOL,
You chose who would support you……when you stopped being a national idol………to be an idol of CU-rinthians…….now you can handle BOBALHÃO…….PREZEPEIRO……do like RONALDO TRAVECO……exchange career for money… ….that's why you were the champion for a long time……. but he will never be respected like Vitor Belfort…….WELL DONE.
I didn't like watching these fights, but when I saw Anderson Silva fighting, I started to like it... Now I regret watching his fateful fight and I will never watch this guy's fight again... He lost because of his foolishness... he lacked respect towards his opponent and especially towards MMA's admirers.. I wasted my time.. I lost my sleep.. I lost my fan...
Anderson, pay attention...no one wants a weak idol, an idol who doesn't respect his opponent. In Brazil there was only one idol that everyone reveres, it was Ayrton Senna…. You are not and will never be an idol.
The rematch could well be in Brazil. I don't like Anderson being trained only by losers. the UFC is not pride. The UFC is very big, champions are needed in the UFC. And please ask Vitor to stop wanting the belt. Go fight Sonnen, machida, shogun, rashad and Munhoz before asking.
He was the one who lacked respect for those he says are not fans. Sold.
The interview is regrettable. With her arrogance and vanity in not recognizing her antics, she only helped to bring down her image in Brazil.
Today I firmly believe that everything was a big setup that unfortunately this clown agreed to participate in.
He will always be a great champion, it is not a defeat that will end the much he gave to BRAZIL
Spider!!!
In life we have to go through trials and this is one that I think is important for growth as a human being!!!
Knowing that friends are not there, what can be improved!!!
I'm rooting for you so much!!!
A big hug !!!
His provocation is normal in fights, but this time it was VERY open. The impression is that AS didn't want to win…not to be stupid.
For these and other reasons, my idol in sport is Mad Dog and GSP!!!
It's a lesson to be learned Spider.
firstly, you are not unanimous, secondly, it is your fans who are disappointed by your arrogance. I hope he catches it again.
and you weren't that good either... we're tied.
He didn't convince me... I still think he handed over the belt, and as there was a lot of fuss now they quickly scheduled a rematch!!
Everything in life has its price, if it was in his plans to lose the fight, he should have already thought about public opinion too, now if public opinion doesn't matter to him he shouldn't care. Another thing: I think there's a lot to learn when comparing yourself to Ali, who was a champion of the times when he fought 15 rounds. I also think the result was arranged for someone to make money at the bookmakers. Paying 8×1, just imagine, how much money someone must have won! Then he leaves saying he wasn't thinking about a rematch, then changes his mind the next day, everything arranged! I wanted to see his bank account, to see how much he earned from all of this!
THIS SUBJECT WAS IRRESPONSIBLE AND ARROGANT. YOU WILL LOSE AGAIN TO LEARN HOW TO RESPECT.
Don't make any more fuss and we'll be back to cheering you on!!!
The fans may not be such fans, but the idols are no longer such idols either, they lack posture and respect for their opponents, it's good to learn how to be a sportsman again!
EVERY TIME WORSE...a person can admire him for his achievements, but cannot criticize him for his nonsense. Not even his coaches agree with his arrogance. Whoever disdains and mocks others deserves nothing more than a fall...he surrendered his inability to be a winner
Anderson, you were the result of the pernicious media that is the globe, you know that saying, “dead king, king post” or you go back to shreds or roaaaaaa…..
Anderson, you are truly disqualified, an anti-sportsman. know how to lose. Your arrogance got you to this point
Congratulations to Anderson, as he has always been and always will be a great fighter, I applaud his courage for handing over the title to an opponent, because if he had wanted to, he would have easily defeated him. He just needs “time” to live his life. It's very easy to criticize when you're outside the problem. Congratulations again, as I will always be his unconditional fan.
I don't think Anderson Silva is that much of a fighter either.
Not admitting that he exaggerated his disrespectful provocations, bordering on the ridiculous, proves his lack of humility.
What this athlete didn't understand is that as fans, we don't like to see his reckless and arrogant attitude, which led to him losing the fight. If he had lost the fight even though he used his style from previous fights and lost (without being arrogant), I'm sure we, the fans, would have accepted it very naturally. THERE WAS LACK OF HUMILITY AND YESTERDAY AGAIN IN THE INTERVIEW!!!!
Were they not fans? lol. Take advantage and get out of this ridiculous profession.
Spider needs to understand one thing… Before being his fan, we are all fans of the sport! Making fun and dancing in front of an opponent may not be the best attitude for an athlete, but in an “anything goes” it can even be accepted within a certain limit to unbalance the opponent and thus try to win... but he abused and overstepped this limit and paid for it! We will definitely be rooting for him in December and praying that he doesn't go over that limit again and puts on an excellent fight! We are rooting for you!
It's not the people who aren't fans, it's the lack of respect that the
Anderson had with his opponent, it was not tactics, but a huge lack of respect, because in sport or in any
act of your life, always be confident, but under no circumstances belittle your opponent...
It's funny, the guy does shit... and now it's the fans' fault!!! humility my friend, humility.
You thought you were superior to your opponent, and made jokes instead of respecting and fighting seriously.
and when you disrespect your opponent you may be surprised.
learn your lesson and know that there is no one invincible.
At the 2002 Austrian GP, Brazilian driver Rubens Barrichello, just a few meters from the finish line and victory in the Austrian GP, slowed down his Ferrari and let his teammate, German Michael Schumacher, win the race.
In 2008, at the Singapore GP, Renault team driver Nelsinho Piquet crashed on purpose
Now it was Anderson Silva's turn to shame the sport, losing a fight to provoke a rematch and earn a lot of money in 4 months.
– ZERO HUMILITY.
– YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
– YOU’LL LOSE AGAIN.
UFC is a company and like every company it has financial interests – it's simple Anderson Silva loses and many win millions in bets. Those who stayed until dawn waiting to see the fight lose! Instead of a fight of champions, it was a joke.
Sincerely. This AS lives in a parallel world. He acts like a fool in front of his opponent, lost the point and doesn't have the manliness to admit he made a mistake. Fulero!
I'm a big fan of MMA and I was a big fan of Anderson Silva but I thought it was a real joke and he still thinks he has the right to complain? We Brazilians don't like clowning
Really sold!
AND. It seems to me that I was right to express my disappointment with Mr. Anderson Silva to friends. I don't deny that he is an excellent fighter; but for a true Leader he lacks: humility, correction of attitudes in sport; and mainly. COURAGE to admit your mistake to your audience. He thought it was better to blame the fans. Okay, whoever wants to continue to be so; I'm honestly out.
BRAZILIANS ONLY KNOW HOW TO COMPLAIN, A PERSON DOES 50 GOOD THINGS AND 1 BAD THING AND EVERYONE DOESN'T REMEMBER THE 50 BUT THE 1, IT'S THE ANDERSON WAY OF FIGHTING IF HE WAS NOT ANOTHER COMMON FIGHTER LIKE THE OTHERS, MORE THAN CHAEL SONNEN SAID ABOUT BRAZIL AND HE HONORED IMAGINE IF HE LOST (JUST LIKE NEYMAR DRIBLES BEAUTIFUL I WANT TO SEE ANDERSON GINGAR YES AND DEFEAT WITH BLOWS BEAUTIFUL AND I WANT TO SEE HIM GIVE A SHURIKEN FROM RYU TO CHRIS WEIDMAN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXJqf5r78hk
The lack of humility and respect for others makes humanity suffer from the consequences of their actions!
HE MOCKED THE OPPONENT! HE SINGED VICTORY AHEAD OF TIME!! That's what happens to those who think they're too much!
The same thing will happen with the Brazilian team and the World Cup.
the press keeps making waves with the other teams, they keep saying that the cup will be a success!
I just want to see if unexpected happens; The World Cup will be a fiasco and the team will pay a bigger price!!
Some Brazilians need to learn what “RESPECT!”
because they didn't learn this at home, they think
tomorrow does not exist! Don't do to others what you don't want for yourself. LEARN BRAZIL!!!
