Anderson Silva (22-4) def. James Irvin (14-5-1)

How: TKO, 1:01 round one

Key moment: Silva caught an Irvin kick, landed a crushing straight right and finished him on the ground.

 

blik middleweight ulit tong c spider?

 

Silva said he's responsibility to defend the middleweight champion but he can fight in lhw! he wants to fight in lhw because he said some 205 pounders are underestimating the moves of the 185 pounders

[monthy]

Grabe tong si Silva. Sino pa ba pwede nilang ilaban sa kanya sa mw? Okami? Bisping? Yun na lang naiisip ko 2. Pero di masyado mabenta yun. Unless bisping kung sa england.

 

Pero pag LHW grabe daming interesting na match up! Liddell vs. Silva!!! Guaranteed box office!

baka may link kayo sa Fedor vs Tim match.. Inalis yung sa YouTube..

Parang mas magandang panoorin yung boxing. Sa boxing may grace saka brutality on the otherhand sa MMA pure brutality di ko maapreciate lalo na pag grapling na, parang yung tendency palagi sa MMA e humantong sa posisyon na magkapatong yung dalawang naglalaban. Mas maganda kasi yung movement sa boxing tapos inaanticipate mo yung knockout punch o kaya maapreciate mo yung counter punch nung boxingero(e.g. Marquez technical savvy). Opinyon lang po, peace to all ^_^

this is obviously coming from a person who has only watched 1 mma fight in his entire life.

Once again Fedor proves why he is the best heavyweight in MMA today. He looked about as fast as BJ Penn out there, and I've never seen Sylvia dominated like that ever, it seemed like it was Tim's first MMA fight ever. He looked really lost out there.

Of course, MW champion sya eh... Okami is dead pagbalik nya sa MW, heheheh!

 

Kaya lang naman sya lumaban as LHW because he cant say no to Dana White who was desperate to put up a card na pangtapat sa Affliction... And he stressed that he can fight at LHW but the LHW belt belongs to Lyoto Machida...

There is just no comparison, you dont compare apples and oranges, or orange and lemons, heheheh... But I fully understand what you are trying to arrive at... You dont like ground games. I also enjoyed boxing (in fact, I enjoyed watching it since I was a kid kaya ngayong matanda na ako ay nagboboxing na ako, heheheh!), but there is totally a different level of enjoyment kapag nanonood ka ng MMA (kaya nga mixed martial arts ang tawag eh, halo-halong martial arts, hehehe), the same thing with watching grappling or wrestling matches. Its totally different from one another, especially if you know something about those disciplines...

 

Anyway, if you are really into boxing, sigurado mag-eenjoy ka dito:

(and that guy wants to fight Roy Jones Jr., in a boxing match... What can you say about that?)

 

 

 

How about this? It started out as boxing and ended as grappling, heheheh:

Anyway, talaga namang mas enjoy panoorin ang boxing, especially kung kilala mo yung mga naglalaban... Ganun din naman sa MMA, mag-eenjoy ka rin kung kilala mo yung mga naglalaban... Whether its a stand up or ground fight.

[JustSmile=)]

I think there is no doubt that Anderson Silva is the best pound for pound FIGHTER...

 

BTW, Lyoto fighting Thiago Silva in UFC 89 is a bunch of crap, Lyoto's title shot is long overdue...

 

But in fairness to Thiago, this will be an awesome fight, both undefeated and both coming from a great victory..

 

Hope that if Lyoto wins this one, Dana would give him his title shot.

[maddromeo]

37 seconds to put away Tim Sylvia! Hope Fedor shuts up lot of critics out there!? I'm waiting for Dana White will say next... Not a top 5 Heavyweight ey!? He be like: Umm Fedor got Lucky blah blah... Tim S. is on d way down blah blah!? Thats why we drop him in the UFC! Haha!!! Pretty lame coz they cant sign Fedor in the UFC?! Umm... well not yet but come on Anderson Sylvia pound for pound?! Come on Fedor vs. A. Silva what do you think?! This is a no brainer?! And by d way nobody wants to see a Fedor vs. Nog 4, we all know what happend in their 2 1/2 fights!? Fedor vs Randy make it happend!!! :thumbsupsmiley:

[geneticfreak]

Nice to see Fedor "destroy" Tim rather easily. I'm sure Dana's gonna quadruple his efforts now to try and sign the guy. And for all intensive reasons I hope he does. And I hope Randy comes back to fight him.

 

As for the guy here who compared boxing with mma. I advise you to try and search for that vid where Joe Rogan was in a debate with a boxing promoter on espn regarding boxing vs. mma. And I think this will sway your opinon. As he states during the debate. Boxing is not fighting. Boxing is combat limited to using only your hands. MMA on the other hand is fighting. Though it has rules in place for fighter safety it is the closest, most legitimate you'll ever get to having a fight as a sport or a competition.

 

"Parang mas magandang panoorin yung boxing. Sa boxing may grace saka brutality on the otherhand sa MMA pure brutality di ko maapreciate lalo na pag grapling na, parang yung tendency palagi sa MMA e humantong sa posisyon na magkapatong yung dalawang naglalaban."

 

Admittedly MMA is a lot more violent than boxing will ever be. But think about it how many deaths have ever resulted from a legit MMA fight (I believe there is only one during an MMA event last year in Russia) and from those of boxing. I know you may argue that boxing is the much older than MMA but still safety nets all over MMA. Aside from the usual intervention by the refs you have the beauty of the "tap" verbal or otherwise and this has saved a lot of fighters from acquiring any serious injury. A lot of rule changes have also been made to ensure fighter safety like the nevada resolution to disallow kicks to a downed opponent to the head and the prohibition of kidney strikes from the guard. MMA is actually a lot safer and a more "civilized" than a lot of people seem to think.

 

If you don't appreciate grappling I suggest you watch the fights of Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, Randy Couture, Dean Lister and Marcelo Garcia just to name a few. Maybe by watching them and learning about the techniques you would gain an appreciation of grappling and it's practical use in fighting. I have actually choked a couple of people during a street fight myself. The ground game is a big part of any fight (even street fights) not just MMA so when people do end up on top of one another it's just part of the game. And what you see as being boring is actually a chess match on the ground it just so happened that you don't know any of the techniques that's why you don't appreciate it.

 

 

"Mas maganda kasi yung movement sa boxing tapos inaanticipate mo yung knockout punch o kaya maapreciate mo yung counter punch nung boxingero(e.g. Marquez technical savvy). Opinyon lang po, peace to all"

 

And you don't have this in MMA?! I beg to differ sir! Just watch the fights of Anderson Silva, Chuck Lidell, Wanderlei Silva, Mirko Crocop just to name a few. You'd be surprised at the KO's these guys can produce. And these are KO's not just using the hands as in boxing but by the feet as well (knee strikes included). Watch Anderson Silva and see how pinpoint his striking is (and how technical) or Chuck (with his counter punching) and you will see that KO's or technical striking is not limited to people in boxing alone.

 

Let me just add the fact that in MMA anything can happen. The sheer multitude of techniques that can be used from the many arts studied in MMA (boxing,wrestling,muay thai,BJJ and others) just adds another dimension to an MMA fight. And it is becuase of this uncertainty that MMA matches are far more exciting in my opinion than any boxing match. Don't get me wrong though I am not bashing boxing as a sport here (I'm a big Pacquiao fan as well). I'm just saying that in terms of technique and the number of possible outcomes (and thus excitement) boxing pales compared to MMA.

 

If you don't believe just check out last year's best fights. Serra vs. GSP, Gonzaga vs. Crocop, Randy vs. Tim Sylvia, Jardine vs. Forrest, Quinton vs. Chuck and a whole lot more. You might still be watching MMA fights from the good old Shamrock vs. Dan Severn days that's why you got that "boring" outlook on MMA.

There'll be a martial arts festival sa Star City from JUly 25-27 (that's this weekend). During this GAB sponsored event there'll be demos from the many different martial arts namely: taekwondo, aikido, ju-do, muay-thai, brazilian and japanese jiu-jitsu and many others. They will also be holding a Yaw Yan Fighting Challenge to highlight the said event.
