UFC 208: Anderson Silva Gets First Win Since 2012

[ohtebowah]

to be fair some of Brunson's best moments in the fight where when Anderson ALLOWED him to bounce combo's off his chin in the clinch. Aside from the one take down Brunson landed in the last round, Anderson looked confident and in control the entire fight. I'm sure body language was a big influencing factor.

1. fight rules changed.
2. anderson won the grapplign exchanges. If someone constantly tries to take you down and fails repeatedly except from once that shows the other person is winning those exchanges
3. the time anderson was taken down. He outstruck brunson did alot more dmg being on top doesnt make a difference new rulings
4. brunson backed of entire fight
5. brunson landed his shots only when silva was putting him in a clinch to land knees. anderson ate those short shots in exchange for full fledged kneees

its crazy how some so called professional analysts look at scoring

if i remember correctly the last time Anderson won Diaz in 2014

i really dont think a rockhold vs silva would be a bad fight i really dont think rockhold cant finish him in stricking he have similar styles and both there bjj is good and rockhold not the wresler type of guy ... so i would really like to see that fight i still beleve that silva could beat weidman to this day

Love Ramdeen and a Robin but UFC 208 a success?!?! What?!?! That card was mediocre and that's cuz I'm a huge fight fan... every single fight on the main card after the Poirier vs Miller fight which was fantastic fell short and was a snoozer.. holly doesn't seem to be evolving whatsoever... running 1-2 followed by high kick... all night too predictable

[roknkawk]

Please don't let him fight Rockhold. That's some BJ Penn shit.

[roknkawk]

It was funny how he kept mirroring Brunson stances.

[TheClax]

Look at the new rules introduced in 2017 then tell me Silva was robbed.

[welingtonalvares]

I actually counted Silva vs Derick strikes, Silva hit 11 times more and defend 5 take downs.
If THAT is not a win I don't know what it is.

[topmetalsongs]

Didn't realize this many people think Silva won. Brunson had that easily.

[preciouslouis]

The reason Silva won was bcos he denied so many takedowns

[farazmartin]

no one else almost came their pants when Silva started doing the capoeria .. ? too bad he didn't finish the technique

[tomnguyen]

anderson silva 29-28 easy i don;t know what everyone is watching but fuck sake it was so easy to see who won that fight

[Lnn_c]

Anderson clearly won. Landed more shots, was in better shape, stopped take downs in round 1 and 2, and was the busier fighter.

[poeticgangsta]

SILVA clearly done more damage! To many new fans are haters of the legends. They cheer Conor's fake ass all day but hate on legends like Silva...Gsp..& Aldo.

[waalex]

Silva defended 8/10 takedowns.
Derek fought like shit in a way. Silva won. Glad Silva won. ... I feel he can still compete to an extent and still isn't out of his prime.

... Silva ftw. Hoping he does better next time.

Activity Trump's all. Which is why Silva won
