Anderson Silva will have no trouble getting the belt off either of these 2 when he comes back.
what??????????
Anderson is one of my favs of all time but your comment is just retarded. Anderson is old and weak now. Rockhold will dismantle him.
yes it’s true, anderson Silva was one of the best but now he is old, look at what happens to roy jones yesterday!! Anyway…I like Rockhold and now he should face Yoel Romero so I don’t understand why he called out Vitor Belfort at the end of the fight….i mean, i mean, i know Luke would like to take revenge on Belfort but even Vitor is too old now and it would be a fight too easy for the new champ
I like Silva but he’s just way too old and past his best at this point to be a serious threat to either.
GOD that felt so good to see Weidman`s face get pounded in. Herb dean let it go on and on
