SILVA got knocked the f' out!!

[Regulator]

Showboating yes. He went in knowing/planning to lose I feel like. There won't be no super fight Gsp said he doesn't wanna fight him.

Either way he was top paid fighter of the night. He was paid $600,000.00 now had he of won it would have been 800,000.00. I think he is prolly ready to retire. Even though he didnt say it I'm sure he would like to.

the big money is on the rematch. and that 600 k is before his pay per view percentage. im betting the rematch, if there is one draws more than a super fight.

Silva is to classy as McDonald's is to fine-dining.

And I don't think MMA fighters get percentages of the pay-per-view like boxers do. It's been a major point of contention in past negotiations and to my knowledge, they still only get a set amount + bonuses.

I may be wrong but, I think the champions in each weight class get a ppv slice. Great analogy btw

I cant speak for sad but, many hate the show boating stuff that he is known to do in the ring.

Ok i don't like it either and I guess I see what ur saying. Cause in football when a touchdown is scored I would rather see someone run past ref hand them the ball or toss it to them the to watch the dumbass dance or something.

Interesting. I know it was a huge contention in the past, and something that Floyd Mayweather called out Dana White on. I hope they are starting to split the profits up slightly more evenly in terms of Zuffa vs. the fighters.

Anybody can talk like they are humble before and after fights, but his actions inside the ring show his true character. It started with Damien Maia, a fellow Brazilian and true class act, and Silva just acted a complete cocky fool in the ring for 5 rounds and never finished him or took it seriously. It was sad for Damien to be treated like that by a countryman. I'm sure he would have rather been destroyed in short order by a classy competitor than be taunted for 25 minutes in front of his legion of fans.

In stark contrast, Chael Sonnen talks mad shit to hype up fights, but he is a classy fighter without losing any edge, and he is humble and gracious in defeat or victory. If you watched The Ultimate Fighter where Chael was a coach, you know that he is one of, if not the, best coach ever. He truly cared about his fighters and showed beyond any doubt that his ACT is just that, an act to sell tickets.

Anderson is one of the best fighters ever, but he just couldn't stop the success from making him a complete douchebag.
