interbizman Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 http://www.mmamania.com/2012/12/30/3818090/confirmed-anderson-silva-signs-new-10-fight-deal-with-ufc Im the biggest Silva fan out there..but its gunna be a sad day ...and the day will come that age....and youth will take hold of the Spider...and ill probably be devistated. Silva has and will be for a while a great fighter, but very few fighters have made it to this age and even fewer into the 40's...i cant see Silve going undefeated for 10 more fights...it would be a freaking miracle. When do you start slowing down??....when is that magic time?? For guys like Silva , Couture and a few others who knows....i just think a 10 fight contract might be pushing it a little..

Tapped2strikes Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 After he gets tapped by Jones, he'll probably rethink sticking around for that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StompGrind Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I think he can win them all and not show much signs of slowing too much but i think he'd better fight Jones very soon before Jones gets too good and he slows down some. It's already a tough enough challenge with the size difference, Jones athletiscism and his style ( the wrestling and GnP mostly ) which could prove to be a bad matchup for Andy.

He will probably fight Sonnen again, Belfort again, Franklin again, etc., and duck Jones, Weidman, and a 185 Machida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Cormier and Cain. He'll probably fight Weidman, Bisping, Belcher, Lombard, Vitor, Jones, GSP and maybe even one more with Chael and two others who are off the radar right now. I don't really see him fighting Franklin again. Cung Le could be a possibility too but i doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MABFanForLife Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 At the rate Silva fights, it'll be 6+ years before his contract ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had two this year and that's including coming off of injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interbizman Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Ok to all the morong out there that cant read... Silva has CLEARLY stated that he has no interest in fighting Jones. Silva talked about the size difference, jones ability and friendship, there is no interest at all...Silva has all but said Jones is a young spider and the worst fight for silva is fighitng himself.... Jones also said he has no interest in Silva because he also knos the same thign Silva said... All the BS about all the money, and rumours and crap...its all BS...this fight will never happen..... They cant even get a GSP/Silva fight to happen and thats one so how are they gunna get a Silva/jones when there is zero interest from the fighters??

Honestly i would rather there wasn't any superfights but Jones vs Silva interest me more. I have no interest in watching Silva smear George all over the mat in under two rounds.

No_Pantaloons Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Man Silva is one of my favorites, but I'm sad to hear this news. There is no way in my mind he will go undefeated for 10 more fights. He hasn't really been tested in a while, sonnen may have had the wrestling, but no finish potential so anderson had all 25 mins to get his game going. Technique is great, but raw athleticism is amazing and these young guys are so motivated, its their entire career to win a belt, plus silva may have become a bit complacent being champ for so long. Unless he continues to cherry pick all his opponents I think hes gonna lose and they will let him out of the contract as respect when he asks for it.

Birdhound Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 This is just Silva milking the UFC for money plain and simple. The only person in the world who thinks Silva has more than four good fights left in him is Dana White. He's gonna take the GSP fight and win that easily then get fed cans for $500,000 a time for a few years. The ONLY fight that makes sense for Silva is Jones, and the 'i'm scared of Jon Jones so i won't fight him' attitude of Silva makes me think that won't be happening. If he does fight 10 more fights I would bet that six months after he eventually retires, everyones gonna be like 'Anderson who?'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaSpyder Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 everyone that says Silva is scared of jones is crazy. He's moved up 3 times to fight light heavies and won them easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdGOAT Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 LOL @ Silva fans saying they're sad. He doesn't HAVE to fight those fights. He could fight one more time and retire. All it means is that he has to fight 10 fights in the UFC before he could fight anywhere else. If he loses his next fight, fight after, or he goes on a 3 fight lose streak, he can retire whenever he wants to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
