Anderson Silva's decline: Do you think there should be an age limit to fighting?

[Tommy Knocks]

I think 45 is an acceptable time limit with licenses being audited after 40.

As for Silva. Part of me wants him to come back, just for one fight, one last win, to go out with a bang and not like this, but another part of me doesn't want to see an old slow silva. I want to remember him as a demigod.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Wasn't comparing Randy to Silva - just saying that he's an example of an older guy that shouldn't have a limit used against him.

Age is less of a factor when you have less wear and tear on your body. I doubt if Randy started fighting when Silva did if he would have had the career he had in his 40s

EXACTLY. That's why I said it should be case by case.

He doesn't cut 40-50 pounds you dumb fukk. He diets down and gets in-shape, which is around 195-205 pounds (max 210 pounds). From there, he'll cut 10-20 pounds.

So he diets down(CUTS) to 205 meaning he walks around heavier than that and then diets down again(CUTS) with water down 175


That's 40 lbs EASY. Sounds like you are the dumb fukk here breh

cutting weight is cutting weight don't use semantics here, that's way too much to be cutting consistently, I don't care who you are.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

If Vitor becomes the champ that division is officially flabby. I hope Wiedman beats Vitor and Jacare beats Weidman.

No it's not. Meelad is right. I'm not going to type a long answer but to say "cutting weight is cutting weight don't use semantics here" is just wrong. I'm not trying to come at anybody but i don't think a lot of you understand how a camp works or what cutting weight really is or what it does to your body. Silva doesn't "cut" 40-50 pounds. He actually is a mid size MW and has one of the easier cuts in fighting.

How about you type me your long answer about cutting weight......




Or maybe I'll type it for you.

avg training camp 12 weeks.

week 12-10 consist of slowly switching the types of carbs given while increasing protein and healthy fats + the strengthening of cardio

9-5 consist of only complex carbs double the protein and fats, body begins using fats for energy.

4-2 Same as above with even less carbs

week 1 drink 1-2 gallons of water daily turning the body into "flush" mode

stop drinking water completely day before weigh in

sweat box/cardio if you have anything left to lose.


So what exactly is it that you have to explain to me nikka

I'm using the numbers HE GAVE me(meelad92), that's 40lbs EASY.

I can type out the version with strength and conditioning if you'd like too.

What happened breh you googling?

 

[Master Teacher]

He would be one of the top fighters no question. shyt hasn't changed that much.

Thats because there aren't enough good fighters for their to be a decent list of top fighters
bottom line is he wouldn't be sniffing that belt if he would've came out in this era in either weight classes

 

[Skip b]

he was out for less then a second. fight shouldnt have been stopped

You see this shyt, Cacs reaching to claim this win



Im still trying to figure out how the fukk Wiedman gets a W off a injury, aint like he kicked Silva leg n shyt


Thats 2 ** ftw

Weidman did break his leg though, that's how you suppose to do it

[BuyandSave]

If he walks around at 230(which he has ballooned higher recently; allegedly) how the fukk does he simply cut 10 pounds



Are yall cacs reaching trying to claim this as a legit victory after the dive................................

Yo, do you know what 230, 245, 250, or whatever else you said looks like at his height? When have you ever seen Anderson look thicker (pause) than Cain Velasquez for instance? Allegedly this...rumor has it that...provide me a damn pic where Anderson looks anywhere close to the weight you're saying he walks around at or just stop talking.

 

[BuyandSave]

Yeah he was old when he started. That makes him one of the cases where the age requirement doesn't work. And he would get the new guys on the ground if they were to fight that version of him. Wrestling hasn't changed much since then.

Do you even read posts or do you just skim through them? Damn, I really thought The Ring had some knowledgeable people posting but instead all I find is a couple of reasonable people and a bunch of casual fans that just love to hear themselves talk.

I meant cutting water weight (which for Anderson is around 10-20 pounds).

And skip b said he's between 230-250 pounds which is (for the most part) not true. Anderson is at max, 230 pounds in between training camps. He's never been 250 pounds (or even 240 for that matter)

What happened breh you googling?

If this aimed at me, I had work breh
