Silva was also juiced off his tits for the duration of his reign and his "legacy" should now be destroyed.

Since coming back from his ban and finally fighting clean, he has lost to Bisping, Cormier, and was gifted a terrible decision win against Brunson which he clearly lost.

It was all a myth.

Brunson win was lucky, but you can't hold that against him and not question losing to Bisping in England

Kirby · 08-10-2017 4:28am

I like DJ but this division is incredibly weak. It's an impressive record.....but its impressive in the same way that Ronda was. With an asterisk. She beat soccer moms and got creamed against the first actual fighter she fought.

DJ's situation is a little better but not much. A serious lack of talent on offer and if he moves up in weight again, he'll probably lose again.

That was one of the clearest 48-47's you will ever see IMO. 3 rounds to 2 was absolutely the correct decision for me.

Look at how many media guys felt the same:

Bisping won that fight. Only salty Anderson fans thought any different.

DJ should have taken that TJ fight. It would have got him more money and if he won more credibility.

The fight was very close. Firs time I watched it I thought it was clearly an Anderson win, when I rewatched it I can see how Bisping won.

Love DJ in terms of skill and technique, he's absolutely top class, but for god sake come on Borg knock him the fcuk out please.

Bisping fight clearky lost under 10-point must scoring

Subcomandante Marcos · 08-10-2017 4:41am

So DJ sees Bisping hand picking fights against pensioners, Conor fighting Nate twice, Dom Cruz fighting Cody who's outside the top 5, etc, etc, etc, but he's getting **** for turning down a fight with TJ who's never made 125 and has struggled to make 135 at times?

People need to catch on to themselves.

That one round was AT LEAST 10-8, bisping was literally knocked out and saved by the bell.

The you just watch the fight or did you actively score round by round.
I could see how people lookin at the fight as a whole felt Silva did more to win. But he did it all in only two rounds. He dicked around in rounds he needed to win.

ricero · 08-10-2017 4:52am

He makes it look so easy

brendanwalsh · 08-10-2017 4:52am

Very boring. Dj is morose. Crowd is gone to sleep. If you're the goat or p4p then finish these bums in one.

There is a difference though. DJ is actively complaining he isn't getting paid enough for his fights.... even though his PPV sales are dire. People are giving him sh1t for not taking the money fight, if he wants the money, he can't expect to fight Ray Borg and get paid the same money as if he had fought TJ.

Subcomandante Marcos · 08-10-2017 4:55am

What money fight? TJ is nobody. Nobody gives a ****e about TJ.

What numbers has TJ done as a headliner? His numbers are no better than DJ's. And honestly, who cares about PPV numbers?
When fans start talking about ppv numbers you know the sport has crossed into WWE nonsense.

You don't think DJ v TJ would sell better than DJ v Borg?

no, not really.
The majority of "casuals" still won't care because they don't know who either fighter is, it's 2 years since TJ got shine from Conor calling him a snake, he's no more relevant now than he was then.

I dont give a sh1t about ppv numbers to be honest, I was just making a point about him wanting more money despite being the worst ppv seller.

I really wanted to see him v TJ is all, it would have been an awesome fight and if he beat TJ I would be amazed.

Subcomandante Marcos · 08-10-2017 5:02am

All UFC headliners deserve more money. Using DJ or anyone else asking to be get fair pay as a stick to beat them with is ridiculous. The UFC are raping these men and they by and large get sweet FA in return. Dana white et al are scumbags milking these men and women.

martyos121 · 08-10-2017 5:02am

That armbar was a thing of beauty. You have to be a different level of genius to even see that opening.

seanhynes · 08-10-2017 5:03am

Ridiculous

Subcomandante Marcos · 08-10-2017 5:03am

GOAT.

ricero · 08-10-2017 5:04am

Wow amazing stuff. Congrats mighty mouse. What a fantastic way to break the record

08-10-2017 5:05am

Wow, I dont like the guy but my god :O that was amazing

Mr. Manager · 08-10-2017 5:05am

That is just insane. One of the greatest subs you will ever see

Fair play, DJ

He was absolutely saved by the bell.
But he wasn't literally knocked out. He was dropped, but stayed alert imo.
It was a savage knee. But from memory, that aggression at the end of the fight was all he did in that round. I don't think a knock down is enough for a 10-8.

Paully D · 08-10-2017 5:06am

It'll take a while, but people will eventually appreciate how great he is when he's gone.

One of the best ever and a joy to watch.

Mellor · 08-10-2017 5:09am

My laptop died in the 5th round

Caught the replay. That was quality. One of the best takedown sub combos I've seen. Lads everywhere be trying the next week.

martyos121 · 08-10-2017 5:09am

The only thing that's going to hurt more than Ray Borg's arm in a week's time is Johnson's lower back after he has Joe Rogan's head surgically removed from his arse.

I have a feeling some freakishly strong 18 year old will be trying to suplex me monday morning...
