Anderson Silva Wants a Make-Up Fight "Immediately"


(It's like he saw that Condom Depot ad and became enraged. I've never seen a man who hates birth control with such a ferocious passion.)

You bastards have done it now. You fans and media with your hate mail and hate articles, accusing Anderson Silva of conduct unbecoming a champion. Now he's pissed. And Silva is not like your sister. He doesn't turn to ice cream when he's upset. He turns to awesomely destructive violence, and he would prefer to do it as soon as possible according to UFC president Dana White, who had this to say to the Las Vegas Review-Journal regarding the champ:

"He's flipping out. He wants to fight again, like, on Nov. 15," White said. "He's (upset) about his performance and he wants to fight again immediately."

Now that's the attitude you want from your champ. Of course, it's completely unreasonable to think the UFC could get him a worthy opponent in time for UFC 91, so don't get too excited. But this might be the perfect time for creative matchmaking on the UFC's part. Maybe they can't get a top-level challenger, but could they get three mid-level guys? Middleweights, light heavyweights, anyone who needs a paycheck, really. How about if Silva faces Ed Herman, Houston Alexander, and an unemployed ninja all at once?

No, that's still not fair. Okay, the ninja can use his throwing stars and Houston can use illegal knee strikes. Ed Herman, he has to show up drunk. Check that, he gets to show up drunk. This is one night he's not going to want to remember.

Comments

Eat it, haters.

Let the bandwagon fill again with fickle sorts.

I would give Brandon Vera a call and tell him if he want's to keep his job he has to fight a pissed off Anderson Silva at 205 on 3 weeks notice!

sign Joey Villasenor.. just buy the contract from EliteXC.. Joey was training to fight Nov. 8th anyway.

This is off the subject, but what the hell is it with the "Condom Depot" and "Ground and Pound" ads in huge letters on the fighter's asses? Are they seriously the only companies that spring for that big space? They might as well sell it to "Hershey's" or "Chock Full O' Nuts".

Is this really true or something Dana is putting out there so he'll look better....

AWSOME! how can u talk shit about him.....maaaan do i feel sorry for the guy he will be fighting next lawl :D

I agree with the jobless ninja, make Vera fight to stay employed or Gabriel Gonzaga..........he is sure to give up a nice 2nd KTFO

Im sure this would be a ploy to get all the nuthuggers back on his sac It will never happen.if they wanted to find somone bad enough they could! Give Petruzelli a call im sure he would be up for another "BIGGEST UPSET IN MMA HISTORY!!" shit Dana ill leave my # for 10k I'll step in there after i get some dance lessons!

I pity the fool who has to fight Anderson Silva on short notice when he's out to make a statement.

Anyone that needs a check? Hmmm...

Someone sign Ed McMahon up immediately!

why the Ed Herman bashing? I like ol' Sloth Fuse...

There should be a line of people ready to step in and take this fight...The UFC is supposed to have the best fighters in the world right?? Well why isn't there a line of guys ready to step in and go to war. why wait until 2 months before and start getting ready for your fight, why not always be ready just in case a situation like this comes up? There are 48 Middleweights in the UFC including Silva, That means there should be 46 middleweights(Cote is Out) willing and able to at least get in the cage and fight this guy. The UFC needs to make this happen, it would be pretty sick.

I agree Lawler would be a good Match!!! MAke IT HAPPEN UFC!

How about Lawler? He might be crazy enought to fight him on short notice. He's a big name and highly (over IMO) ranked. Lawler has a ton to gain and he's on good terms with the UFC. I know they were thinking a 205 fight next, but another title defense so fast is just as (if not more) impressive.

Thoughts?

Hmm, just realized that Lawler might not be free for another 30 days...(if not longer.)

I agree 100%. An Anderson Silva vs. Robbie Lawler fight would be great, especially in short notice. I doubt Lawler could turn down the shot @ the middleweight belt, and Anderson Silva can't turn down kicking ass, so its great. If the UFC could make this fight happen for Nov.15 I would shit my pants. The Nov.15 card is looking very weak aside from couture vs. lesner, this would make a great co-main event. COMEON DANA. Make it happen.

Really? Whining about it is all it takes? Interesting.

"Anderson Silva is too much of a pussy to pay off all my back student loans!"

(ohmylordtotallyjokingpleasedontkillme)

Simple, a 205 fight with Chuck Liddell. Make it happen UFC.

Hey Anderson,

How about FINISH HIM THE FIRST TIME... and don't try drag out the fight 5 rounds for your cancer patient of a boss, Dana White.

he should fight my tight anus while he sings to me in Chinese ...hmmmmmmm

He can dig a grave for tito.

"..upset about his performance..." huh? Why? Judging from the comments on these boards the last two days there are thousands of "real MMA fans" who thought his "performance" was brilliant, genius; true MMA at it's greatest.

Could it be that even Anderson Silva is admitting that his "brilliant" decision to pointlessly drag the fight out (by refusing to use his amazing skill set) for three rounds wasn't the greatest idea?

You can stick up for the guy all you want, but it's kind of pointless if even he admits his performance was sub-par.

if i got picked I would do what james irvin did, pop some pain killers and take a punch to the face. I still can't believe people thought that was anything but a paycheck for irvine to get punched in the face. but that's the enertainment biz.

I know this will never happen cause its toooooo good to be tru! but giv Affliction 250 thousand to borrow fador for one fight and pay fador 250 thousand to fight anderson silva! that would put to rest who the pond for pound best fighter in the world really is! and this way it would garentee Dana whites hope"s that "Lesner v cotour card will be the highest selling pay per view event in history!

this site is wack yo

You know that Silva was just about to drop the hammer on Cote when his knee blew up, right? Right? If that had happened, everyone would have just chuckled about the two clown rounds. Cote's face would have looked like a scary Halloween special effect. I think Silva should be put on the Nov 15 fightcard. Liddell would be a good match up.

@ Jugger....oh touche! Silva wants to redeem himself plain and simple. If his gameplan was as flawless and solid as most nuthuggers...I mean true "MMA fans" and not "wannabe MMA fans" like me, here have proclaimed then why does he need another fight so soon? Why isn't he defending his "tactics" more vigorously? Because he knows he screwed the pooch, that's why.

Like I said in a previous comment, I truly believe Silva thought by going 5 rounds he was giving the fans their money's worth and doing us a favor. I don't think he intended it as disrespect, even though that's how anyone with half a brain would have interpreted it. Maybe he was trying to be funny. He did say he wanted the fight to be "entertaining". Maybe his idea of entertainment is being goofy in the cage. Either way I expect he won't make this mistake again.

ANDERSON SILVA vs. KIMBO SLICE. Book it, mother fucker.

silva vs robbie lawler??

I'm with big chris. If this was my profession I'd be ready to go to work. Especially since the UFC is about what have you done for me lately. UFC MMA is turning to shit!

iSn't there talks about Silva vs Liddell for Huge Pay-per-View buy? If its true then i guess Dana's not in love with his Boy-Toy Chuck anymore, cuz Anderson would murder Liddell.

He would punish Liddell and then rearrange his face then KO him haha

Unemployed Ninja had me laughing with the Vera comment. They should feed him CB Dollaway! If they were so high on him, they'd make that fight in a heartbeat. It's a no lose situation. IF CB were to attempt a lay n pray for 5 rounds(yeah right) he'd be the break out star for the UFC! When Anderson Silva takes out a familar face in aproximately 10 seconds, he gets his fans back! It'd make fans love him again because CB seems to get under people's skin for some reason. It'd be a complete waste of a match on Anderson's contract, but it would redeem him in the eyes of many

While doubtful Dana White has the balls or competitiveness to truly call one of his golden boys bluffs I present the following match up. Anderson Silva vs Loyota Machida. If Silva is truly wanting to please the fans and asert his dominance then take the challenge against your boy Silva. Non title fight at 205 to give Loyota the chance to prove he can fight and not dance and evade a slower washed up ex champ but rise to the level of the elite. Flip side Silva takes on a technical evassive fighter much like what Cote was presenting him with and he can show us how it should have gone with Cote without the five round grandstand bullshit. Just a thought.

Silva seams like an intelligent guy, maybe he is just burning through his contract in a way that makes Dana all the more merrier to gobble it (Silvas cock) up.

@ robbot

THat fight would never happen because Silva and Machida are good friends, they put their friendship over money or fighting for the UFC

I would love to know how they match up in sparring. I remember hearing how Chuck would roll Tito all the time in training. I wonder if its a similar situation.

So many Brazilian fighters in the UFC, whose number 1? Make Silva fight another top Brazilian contender!

Silva PWNs Liddell......... Dana wouldn't want to see that.

I know they are friends thats exactly why I presented the idea of calling Silvas bluff on his real desire to get back in and prove himself. Furthermore I did fight for a long time and the noble idea of not fighting a friend is bullshit. we beat on eachother sometimes harder in training than we do our oponents in the fight and first and foremost its a business. I fought several guys i considered close friends and can tell you we would be much more honored to lose to eachother than a random oponent. That whole camp uses that reasoning and to each there own but friendship is about bringing out the best in eachother so perhaps they should consider what it is they really think they are protecting.

Anderson Silva could not beat a real ninja. He'd get his fuckin balls broke.

@ robot

Playing around in your backyard with boxing gloves with a bunch of friends is not the same thing as fighting a TRAINING partner for real in the UFC. It’s not just friendship that is the problem, they train together as well. On a side note, there are a bunch of notable opponents for the spider that is not part of his camp, so why not call someone that is free to fight and from a different camp?

these comments are unilaterally junk, but I just wanted to say I loved the editorial. Your best short piece in a long time.

Backyard boxing? nice touch compadre. And your experience comes from... First off Every fighter starts somewhere kid and yes Silva is just a person like you and me and there is no magical mystique to the UFC caliber training camps. whether an up and comer in smaller shows or a UFC champ training out of militich you train the same program its the difference in experience and natural talent.That said get some EDU it wouldnt be the first time or last that two people from the same camp have fought... yes even in the magical kingdom of the UFC.

really? aside from two japanese fighters (that I can't quite remember their names) fought in Pride while both were from the same camp during a GP, I can't quite think of another instance where this has happened. Care to share with us when this happened in the UFC?

PS: I don't have any experience to back up my statement, I'm just a fan. Are you saying in order to have a valid statement I have to be a fighter?

and I hope you don't mean fighters that USED to train together or were at some point part of the same camp. I mean fighters that are currently training in the same camp as anderson is with machida...

Howwww about we throw Silva in there with Kalib Starnes so they can both dance around the ring together...Maybe silva can throw our his hand and ask starnes to dance like he did with Cote..
"May i have this dance Patrick?"

BJ PENN VS GSP VS SILVA

ROUND ROBIN, TOP 2 MOVE TO THE FINALS TO BATTLE FOR ALL 3 BELTS

1. Great idea Eck. (Joe Villasenor)
2. Cap'n, funniest posting I've ever read!
3. Lawler would be a good match too.
4. Silva beats anyone put in front of him!
