Lion_Heart15 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 you dont have to be well rounded to be P4P king. Mardquardt IMO is the most well rounded in MW division but the guy will never beat AS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckstillbest4ever Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Anderson Silva will stay #1 until he gets beat. He had a come from behind win and so did Brock last year. Just because Brock got dominated for a round he didn't move down on the p4p list and Frankie got dominated for a round in both his last 2 fights but he stayed the same in the P4P rankings. Anderson stays #1 until he gets beat or retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual MMA fighter prevailed. The only thing I don't get about MMA is we are the only sport where fans will lower someone's ranking with a win. It's very stupid. He waited till be got an opening for a triangle and he did it. He beat a man who had been ground and pounding him for 4 rounds. BTW having a wrestler on you for 20 minutes will have an effect on your stamina. We should instead of being like Sonnen beat him down for 20 minutes A.Silva is no good!!!! Be like A.Silva is and always will be the best for being able to comeback from that with a fight winning submission. He should have gone up in P4P rankings not go down.

GettingBored Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Everyone that believed Silva was #1 in the first place was a "sheep". If Dana White says it is so, it must be true right? No way it was just a money making statement! Silva has only faced 1 talented fighter in his career. To be best P4P you have to fight talent, not scrubs like ; Leites, Irvin, Cote, Marquardt (none of them are in the UFC today) Along with a long list of no talent fighters doesn't make you best if you don't lose. Travis Fulton loses less than Silva for the same reason, fighting less talented fighters. It's not Silva's fault, he fell into the weakest weight class in MMA. He did ride the White talk cloud for a bit but he eventually admitted to the public that Penn and GSP are the best fighters in the world. Sadly the Sheep that spent so much time defending their prize STILL think Silva is best in the world. This particularly reminds me of Kimbo Slice. I had been watching MMA for 14 years but since MMA was introduced on a major network, I couldn't convince dozens and dozens of people that not only was Kimbo Slice not the best fighter in the world, but not a good fighter at all. They all looked at me like I was an idiot, and turned their back on me with their purchased hooded sweatshirt that said "kimbo slice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Lee So you prefer a more "well rounded" fighter over someone who kills it with Muay Thai and BJJ..

Im not a Silva fan and in fact a Sonnen fan. That said.. Silva is the best ever, bottom line. It doesn't matter how well rounded you are ( which Silva is ). What matters is winning fights in the end and if your doing that idc if all you have is 1 good kick that keeps knocking people out and the rest of your skills are non existent.

JimmyKruger Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Stop feeding the trolls people. Not one person in here has been able to put forward any reasonable[/] or sufficient argument as to why Silva is anything BUT #1P4P. Win ratio, ratio of finishes to fights, and title defenses. These are the things you need to worry about. Sonnen's wrestling is probably as good as Silva's striking (relatively speaking) which is why Sonnen normally out-wrestles even the better wreslters in the division, as does Silva outstrike the strikers. However, Sonnen has some of the worst BJJ defense imaginable, and also has a tendency to tap early when caught (often trying to fight on after his tap). His striking is weak. He has ok technique but zero power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengu Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 The guy is undefeated in the UFC, devastating finishes, moved up in weight class and embarrassed griffin. Yeah you can say that Griffin style wise is an easy match up. well same case can be made with GSP They fed him a striker with no ground game and GSP could not finish him with a locked in kimura and armbar They fed him a grappler with no striking and GSP could no finish him with 5 rounds. They fed him a guy who's eye was closed within the 1st round, still no finish.
