Pics that prove Anderson Silva the GOAT............................ of cheaters

I have to say your two threads are almost as sickening as Dana's attempts to tarnish Fedor's legacy. I mean, one can't deny that Silva is rubbing vaseline on his body before every fight in the last 2-3 years and i really don't understand how the UFC hasn't warned him about that, it's silly.

But other than that what you got?? holding shorts?? are you serious? Grabbing the cage? everyone does that, your beloved Fedor had to hold the ropes to prevent Lindland from taking him down, remember? I agree, the ref should have warned him about the shorts, because he held them for like 20-30 seconds, but i don't mind when it's against a cheating prick like Sonnen. What, should we cheer for the anti-fighter to win by laying on top of Anderson for 5 rounds?

i agree he did some illegal things, there's no way around it, but Silva is ten times the fighter Sonnen is and ever will be. I am not a huge fan of Silva either, but you gotta give credit where due. At least don't go overboard with your hate, come on man.

Your other thread is much worse, though.

Luke Rockhold, Tim Kennedy Question Ethics of Anderson Silva's UFC 148 Win

I call it like I see it," Rockhold told the SiriusXM Fight Club on Saturday night, "and [the win] just looked dirty to me."

Of concern to Rockhold: three acts from Silva. Or more precisely, two acts with the spirit of the third being dubious. According to the current Strikeforce middleweight champion, Silva used the vaseline applied to his face before entering the Octagon to smear his arms and chest as he was introduced by UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer, grabbed Sonnen's shorts in a scramble and striking exchange in the second round, and ultimately threw a knee while Sonnen was down that while technically legal was ostensibly thrown a little too close for comfort.

"[Silva] greased himself again," Rockhold continued. "After the Vitor [Belfort] fight I saw him grease himself. I wasn't very fond of that first one. He did it again, blatantly. And then the shorts grab. And then finally the knee, it ended up legal, but it looked like bad intentions."

Tim Kennedy, who faces Rockhold on July 14th in Portland, Ore. for Rockhold's middleweight title, also didn't shy away from criticism of Zuffa's other middleweight champion. "Wipe grease on your arms, grab your opponent shorts, and knee them in the face when they are down. That's how champions should act?", Kennedy tweeted. He later added Silva's knee to the chest of Sonnen was legal, but did not walk back any of his statements of Silva's other perceived indiscretions.

For both Rockhold and Kennedy, Silva's behavior was bad enough, but was especially problematic because it wasn't in keeping with the top ethical standard expected of a champion.

"All that together, it just wasn't very champion-like for me," Rockhold concluded. "I want to see a respectful champion out there. I know emotions might get high with all the crap talking, but you gotta keep those separate and gotta fight clean."

Use of Vaseline and other similar substances

Due to the Penn-St. Pierre matter, the group discussed the application of any substance to the hair or body which could result in an advantage. Absolutely "no" body grease, gels, balms, lotions oils, or other substances may be applied to the hair, face or body. This includes the use of excessive amounts of water "dumped" on a contestant to make him/her slippery. However, Vaseline may be applied solely to the facial area at cage side or ringside in the presence of an inspector, referee, or a person designated by the commission. Any contestant applying anything other than Vaseline in an approved fashion at the appropriate time could be penalized a point or subject to loss by disqualification.


2. Holding opponent's shorts or gloves;

A fighter may not control their opponent's movement by holding onto their opponent's shorts or gloves. A fighter may hold onto or grab their opponent's hand as long as they are not controlling the hand only by using the material of the glove, but by actually gripping the hand of the opponent. It is legal to hold onto your own gloves or shorts

Silva is the Middleweight GOAT i'll give you that.

StillWill wrote:So Dagwood is Silva a cheater or was it a work? Made up your mind yet?

Both fighters do not have to be in on a worked fight. ...

The loser can take a dive after colluding with the promoter, gamblers, organized crime or all of those together. The winner of the fight could be completely in the dark. It's better that way really. The winner goes 100% and can be none the wiser.
