UFC President Dana White Says Anderson Silva Doesn't Deserve Fight With GSP

Prior to UFC 112, there was talk that middleweight champion Anderson Silva would like to cut to 170 pounds and challenge welterweight king Georges St-Pierre. It is a fight that was believed to be given some consideration, that is until UFC president Dana White says he was thoroughly "embarrassed" by Silva's performance at UFC 112. Now he says Silva doesn't deserve a fight with GSP.

This is all Danas fault, He knows Andersons the #1 p4p in mma, but yet he feeds him guys anderson can destroy, just look at his last 4 fights, all anderson does now is dance! This is what you get when you feed anderson guys that arnt even close to his level, while trying to maintain his undefeated streak.
DANA GIVE SPIDER A FUKIN CHALLENGE FOR CHRIST SAKE!!!!!!

Feed the spider much better oppenents, MARQUART stood the best chance and he wouldve given him a bit more run for the money, but instead the feet him 2 guys with bjj skills.....and look what he did! he danced all around them.....EVEN DANA KNOWS HES THAT GOOD, HE ADMITED IT!!!! FEED THE SPIDER OPPENENTS THAT WILL MAKE HIM FIGHT..............but nooooo,oo they want him to keep his undefeated record! GOOD!! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET BASTARDS!!!!

silva should of destroy maia if he is that great. instead taken the chance at getting beat he ran..... if he was so great he should of ko maia first rnd. p4p best..... go out and kill guys not act like an ass. i wouldnt order any fight with silva as main event. waste of money.. i use to like silva. great fighter. lately not so good.his last few fights should of be free on spike. maybe a fight night

Silva definitely proved in this fight that he is BY FAR the greatest fighter ever and he obviously danced around the whole time because Maia was not worthy of fighting him. Anderson wants to fight the best and as of right now those fights will be a 205. Nobody will ever come close to beating him at 185 ever again.

It wasn't Silva's fault. It was a bad match-up thrown by UFC.

Why would Maia charge at Silva to risk KO?

Why would Silva charge at Maia to risk takedown/submission?

Nate Chael or Vitor would have done a much better job.

Maia and Thales Leites should not fight Silva.

Silva doesn't deserve GSP?? LOL! Silva would kill GSP at any weight class anyway he wants. Silva vs GSP = Wandy vs. CC = Penn vs. GSP.

i know atleast 5 people who could beat anderson. GSP maybe? shogun and machida would be a challenge so as jon jones and brandon vera, sadly none are middle weights

Silva is becoming a pre modonna.. people compare him to ali?! ali taunted and then would kytfo! just because hes a better fighter doesnt mean you can humiliate someone and then act like a jackass! Silva should have destroyed Maia and the run his mouth about getting better opponents.. that would have been far more respectable.. $60 i paid for that shit! the only thing bigger than his talent is his ego.. go to 205 and fight Top talent not irvin or griffin! try rua, rogerio or jones (jones need more exp though) guaranteed he wont be unstoppable hed be in ther with guys his own size... this isnt danas fault how many fighters have fought lesser oppoenets and acted like silva!? yeah exactly.. i want somone to knock that stupid smirk off silvas' face

Kick Silva out of the UFC. No joke, strip him and kick him out. Nobody cares to watch him fight even if he is talented.

FUCKIN GSP WOULD LEAVE THE SPIDER CRAWLING LIKE A BITCH ESPICALLY AT 170 HE JUST AS FAST MORE AGILE HAS GREAT WRESTLING DAN HENDERSON(GREAT WRESTLER) GOT THE SPIDER TO THE GROUND AND DOMINATED THE FIRST ROUND IMAGINE A GUY LIKE GSP WHO IS OBESSIVE OVER BEING THE PERFECT FIGHTER HE KNOW BJJ AND WRESTLING THATS ALL HE NEEDS AND HE WOULD BE STRONGER CAUSE ANDERSON IS GOING TO HAVE TO DROP ALOT OF WEIGHT TO FIGHT AT 170 WHERE GSO IS HIS BEST AT 170

Anonymous said...

If he was that good finish him off, I don't like decisions and I don't like what he was showing. I buy all the Pay Per views and I wanted my money back for that one.

Anonymous said...

gsp does just enough to win. Constant takedowns and average stand up. Silva would dominate gsp and that's y Dana refuses to give him a shot. Dana doesn't want silva to have two belts let alone takeout the face of the ufc and mma. I believe silva felt bad for Maia and didn't want to KO him. He messed his face up and shut his eye. He made Maia suffer for talkin all the smack in the buildup twards the fight. Dana should have a open weight tourney to fix this problem of boring fights. We would all want to see this right?

silva is not the p4p best. he can
t beat a japanese fighter, and he's a pussy when he knows he's owned on the ground even when he's a black belt and can prove that he is. nigger

Craig_the baker said...

Here is the what it all boils down to...$$$ Your livelyhood depends on entertaining people and FIGHTING! Fighting involves risk and this is something A.S. obviously is no longer willing to do. I understand Silva has a "blackbelt" in BJJ, so why would he be that scared of going into Maia's guard? Isn't Silva a fighter? Shouldn't he want to show he can handle himself on the ground? I believe that Silva has gotten content to just TAKE MY HARD EARNED MONEY AND NOT PRODUCE ANYTHING FOR IT. He has no respect for the sport or most importantly the fans. If he was that far above Maia in skill then it should never have left the first min. of the first round. But Silva was content to drag it out..staying 'safe'. That's not a fighter, that's a scammer!!

Anonymous said...

This is a "give and take situation". I hold Silva a little more responsible for the severe lack of action because he is certainly the better fighter. But come on, Maia did fuck all. Come round 4 he knew he was not gonna get it to the ground and was going to lose a decision. Yet he made no attempt to engage with striking. So obviously he would rather lose a decision than take the 1 in a 100 chance at winning and get ko'ed. The Lietes fight sucked. But there was at least 5 times when Silva would pounce on him and Lietes would fall to his back without being touched so that's all on him. And with the kinda power Cote has and silva not yet having gone past the second round. It's no doubt cote's plan was to wait and find the right oppurtunity. Cote was the one walking backwards after all. The last thing I wanna touch on is wtf is going on with Silva having to go down to 170 to fight G.S.P. That is piss weak! When You've beat everyone there is to beat you go up, not call someone down to you. G.S.P's last few fights have been predictable and unexciting. Tell me, after G.S.P's last fight did u talk about how fast his 10 takedowns were, or how big Hardy's balls are for not taping? I'm not defending Silva, but simply pointing out that You can't put it all on him.

One fight? Wake up idiot! All the recent Silva fights have been the same crap! The guy just thinks that he has the right to wait for others to make every move and then just counter and not himself engage. And then that dork just starts to spread his arms like the opponent would be the only one who is free to start making initiatives. And not to even mention that ridiculous and distasteful showboating and attempts to humiliate the opponent, even though he just humiliated himself. Silva is a pathetic clown, who is afraid to go forward and does not deserve to fight a great sportsman like GSP. I hope Belfort gets well soon and beats the crap out of that prick.

Have Lesnar Fight Him
Silva will be the best or he will be humbled.

Bradford said...

silva has been a jackass for a while now. yes he's talented. no, he's not hungry, entertaining, or a peoples champ. he could give a shit about the people, he loves himself enough for everyone. could GSP beat him? I'm doubtful, but I know who I'd be rooting for. If he felt bad for Maia, he should have shown him the respect and knocked him out in the first round. Anderson is terrible at creating offense, he can only counter. He's stellar at his 1 dimension, but he's still 1 dimensional.

phuk that anderson is a jack ass. We just need to see him go up in weight instead of going down.....really i would like 2 see him fight a more aggressive fighter...or maybe layoto machita, rashard evans, showgun rua, someone who would appear to take his punches but would be able to dish them back...i would like 2 see silva get his ass kicked hard..maybe a solid knockout

I agree let him fight Lesnar, he will not be so cocky then.

everyone saying andersons done n all this shit r fucking idiots hes not done hes just not challenged. he needs to be put against people who bring the fight to him not people whos only chance is if they take it to the ground. n the first person who said gsps had 6 boring fights hes owned everyone whos stepped in the octagon with him. hes fighting perfectly to win every second of every round, u wanna see stand n bang knockouts go to ur fucking bar people like u is what make the sport ignorant

terriblejake said...

Yooooooou jackas$ses!!!! Silvas making a statement! Ofcourse he could of knocked the fu.k out of Maia, but hes making a statement! GSP, LESNAR all those other guys get more recognition, more money, more exposure even though hes the best p4p! I doubt you fake fans noticed but he faught in about 4 different styles there! The spiders really really that good and im glad he did a statement like that. LOOK the spider wants to be known as the greatest ever.........dont give him $hit oppenents like that!!!!

terriblejake said...

All you fake fans.....dont just look at the ko aspect. I hate you type of fans, fighting is an art. Spider did about 4 different styles in the ring, hit maia with accuracy, showed how agile he is, made maia miss, hit him with a sick knee, etc.....
Look i know everyone likes knockouts, but at the end of the day, its not you thats in the ring and has to risk injury, its the fighter!
Its not andersons fault hes not being challenged enough, make him cement his career better and give him guys that will give him a run for his money....we all know he has the potential, so make him use it dummies!!!

terriblejake said...

BRADFORD.......You fudgepacker, you say "Anderson is terrible at creating offense, he can only counter" ......fuker how did he fuk up franklin and all those fighters without any offense??? In mma its critical you learn to counter, lots of fighters use it........GTFO and do us all a favor and dont post here again with your nonsense!

Great Idea

Silva vs Lesnar

I would pay to see that, or
I will not pay to see Silva every again.

Come on Dana, do this for the fans

If Silva is as good as all of his apologists here are saying, he should back it up by quickly destroying the allegedly inferior opponents he is being given. Anything else is an insult to the fans who pay ridiculous sums of money to see these fights live or on PPV. I for one will never pay for another card with Silva as a headliner, despite the fact that I agree he is perhaps the best in the sport today. He does not care at all about his fans.

Anonymous said...

I don't see Anderson performing at 185 like he used to, let me say the first two rounds were puzzling that he didn't finish and then he gets caught a few times in three and four and takes off like a ballet dancer. GSP might have not finished a few fights but he outclasses his opponents to the point of making it look like he's fighting a child. No more running silva! His next fight will be the first time I'll root for the other guy.

Anonymous said...

That is a good idea, let Brock gnp the crap out of Anderson, after the dance floor stunt he pulled he deserves it. ov course if he is so great that he beats Brock then he deserves an apology and he can keep the money I wasted on watching his monkey business Saturday night.

I was not going to buy it but I figured that BJ was gonna give a good show, Anderson was not going to frig around like in the past.

Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me
third time
can't get fooled again.

If silva fight a better opponent than none of this nonsense would happen. cant please everyone. i wouldnt jeopardize my title for the sake of pleasing the fans. he can probably try to finish the last two rounds but he might have to risk it. but cant be helped if his opponent wouldnt engage.
too much over reaction to this fight. i thought the bj fight was boring... no one is bitching about that.

Silva Vs Lesnar would be the biggest fight ever, much bigger than GSP Vs Silva.

If Dana is serious about giving something to the fans, give us this fight...

Wow this couldnt have happened at a better time (sarcasm).I mean Silvas performance at 112 was terrible.Dana has a point that Silva doesnt deserve to fight GSP.But who else?Gsp pretty much went through the welterweight division and Silva is making asses of the middleweight division.I think the fight should happen.But then again,there are some good fighters in the middleweight division that gsp can fight,but it aint nothing like goin to the baddest dog in the yard,or in this carse the biggest clown at the circus.

Silva is like school on the weekends, NO CLASS. I won't pay to watch that clown again. Credit to Dana White for taking this stance.It couldn't be easy with one of your top fighters. GSP is and has been the # 1 lb for lb fighter in the UFC. His competition is much more impressive than Silva's.

I think Dana doesn't want this fight because of the fact that Anderson will probably have 0 striking power going down to 170. I only see this happening at a catch weight.

Unknown said...

Not a fight of a champion, running around waiting for a counter, rubbish! Bring in Vitor or for fuck sakes Silva make an official move to light heavy!

I hate GSP, But if the spider does fight him, I hope GSP beats his ass, no, wait. I hope GSP just takes him down at will but wont finsh him so sliva can relize he aint the best out there!!!!

Anderson Silva is my favorite fighter. Having said that, I will NEVER order a fight where he is the main event. The UFC has consistently signed bad fights for him.

The time has come for him to jump a weight class and fight tougher guys. The weight division he is in now is like putting Lesnar against the lightweight guys.

Dana, I like your style, but you are the one making a joke of MMA. Get Silva some real competition, and then complain if he plays games with them. He is obviously not challenged inside the octagon!
