Everyone enjoyed it. It was spectacular. Now, that’s what we’re talking about! Anderson Silva, from now on, that’s how you fight! Again!
Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin was a great show of explosive fists and great talents. The crowd inside Wachovia Center in Philidelphia was in a frenzy.
When the two gladiators went up the cage, the crowd was booing Silva while cheering for Griffin like a homecoming boy. Truly, Silva had lost his luster.
Until.
Silva came back on track not only with such combination of fury and flair, he also did it in a division heavier than his comfort zone, and with a fighter bigger than anyone he fought.
What does this tell us? Anderson Silva has outgrown his middleweight championship belt? He has fought and defeated all the best in that level? Cote and Leites were so below his league that he gingerly fought like a man faced with a kid half his size?
Maybe that is so. Raising his weight 20 pounds higher in a short span of time could do a lot of bad things to his speed and performance, but it did not. He literally brutalized the bigger Griffin.
Within two minutes of the first round, Silva (must have been traumatized by Dana’s tounge-lashing) made sure he ups the ante. Silva was so charged he was like a mongoose against a cobra. And like a mongoose, he works well when the enemy strikes. His counter-punches are lethal, and when it hit its mark Griffin was knocked down. Silva, the counter-puncher, was eeirily cool and controlled. And when the brutal set of Brazilian knuckles found its mark the second time, Griffin was on the floor again. Silva offered his hand to help his opponent up. They touched gloves, and the third knock down must have been the straw that broke the camel’s back (it didn’t seem so much – especially that Silva released that strike while backpedalling).
The first knock down must be what did Griffin in. He must know he’s in trouble he wished the round is over (he checked the clock after that first knock down).
Talk has it that Silva is willing to relinquish his middleweight championship belt and put it up for grabs. Dana White liked the idea and said he can make it happen. Anderson Silva may go up to light heavyweight division and fight a whole roster of bigger and better fighters than he ever had at the middleweight division. That’s a very interesting prospect. A second-grader would surely feel bored and unmotivated if you put him in a kindergarten class. It's about time to put Silva where he belongs, so he can shine again.
Dana White is pleased with him again. The crowd approves of him again. Why not? Silva made sure it was an explosive fight. His body language showed it during the fight, pumping his fists towards him like telling Griffin, “C’mon! Let’s make it bloody. Hit me!” And when Griffin hesitates, he initiates.
Now, Silva, that’s what we’re talking about. From now on, that’s how you fight! Again!
When this card was first announced, most of us at MMA Weekly thought it was too good to be true. Nog and Mir, and Griffin and Evans? As if this was not enough to get us reeling, Dana White threw in the names of Quinton Jackson and Wanderlei Silva – all in a single mixed martial arts night!. We could miss Thanksgiving at our in-laws but not this!
Dana White just couldn’t help himself when he said he wanted to “stack” this card with mostly the popular UFC fighters for its traditional New Year’s Eve Weekend. Talk about stack and awe.
Let’s not get too drunk on Christmas Day and the day after that so we could have more six-packs on the 27th of December (fight date, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena or on Pay-Per-View).
THE MAIN EVENT :
UFC Light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin (6 feet-three inches; 205 lbs.; Boxing, Muai Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; 16 wins-4 losses) vs. Rashad Evans (5’11”; 205 lbs.; Wrestling, Kickboxing; 12 wins-no losses).
Evans may rely solely on his wrestling skills on this and nothing else. Griffin may opt to stay on his feet to trade blows.
The interim Heavyweight championship bout between Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (6’3”; 241 lbs.; BJJ, Boxing, Judo; 31 wins-4 losses) vs. Frank Mir (5’3”; 255 lbs.; BJJ, Wrestling; 11 wins – 3 losses).
Nogueira, having been an active part of mixed martial arts since 1999, is the more experienced old-timer of mixed martial arts. He has placed himself on the top ranks of the heavyweight division convincingly. Some of the MMA big names he has defeated include the likes of Heath Herring (twice), Tim Sylvia, Josh Bartnett, Mark Coleman, Mirko “Cro Cop” and Dan Henderson. His 4 losses all came from decisions. Two were with his fights with Fedor Emelianenko, today’s greatest heavyweight fighter, (which make them not difficult to swallow) and another two from split decision to Josh Barnett and Dan Henderson.
Nog and Mir are two of UFC’s top BJJ warriors who have never been submitted before. Would this New Year’s Weekend bash mark the first time one of them tap out? While we are dying to know the outcome of this fight, we actually do not expect fireworks on this one. In fact, this could actually be boring as both are just on the OK scale when it comes to fisticuffs (if they opt for a stand-up fight), but what interests us most is who would end up fighting the still-hot-from-the-oven-new-champ Brock Lesnar.
Is Dana White crossing his fingers for a Frank Mir win so that he will be assured of another blockbuster card early next year? For sure, a lot would be eager to see a repeat of a Lesnar-Mir tiff.
