Nobody is saying he has to get credit for anything. Yes, Davis is a gatekeeper who will never be champion because of his poor striking. Beating up wresters his whole career? Breh, Silva has always struggled with wrestlers. Lost a round against Hendo. Got completely throttled in the first Chael fight. Weidman had no problem taking him down. So an actually legit wrestler at 205 wouldn't smother him? Hes fought slow ass, nonathletic LHW. Davis at this point is probably more faster and elusive on the feet. He doesn't get hit often and gets out the way of most strikes. He won't stand with Silva and he could get him down easily.
Really bruh. Lost a round to Hendo (who he finished) and got "throttled" by Chael (even though he was sick and still finished Chael and DESTROYED him the second fight). My nikka those examples of "struggling" do not support a claim as bold as Davis beating him. Weidman is the best claim you got and his wrestling didn't win him either fight.
Besides if you wanna run with that logic, Davis has struggled fighting [black] strikers with good handspeed to the point of being 0-2 against them and Anderson is elite in that category as well. Phil's "speed" and "elusiveness" couldn't keep Rashad's hands off his jaw at all.
Point is he has historically struggled against wrestlers Stepping up against a guy bigger then him at age 40 is not good. LOL@comparing Evans/Johnson to Silva. Both those guys have good wrestling/TDD which Silva doesn't. Thats why they beat him
I know all them dudes from Alpha Male too.Looks like Team Alpha Male will have to keep living vicariously through TJ's title
Did you watch the Rumble or Rashad fights my dude? Wasn't a whole lot of wrestling going on in that shyt.
@ Silva having bad TDD tho. Good lord. I'll agree to disagree
This was the 1st UFC PPV I didn't watch in a long time, except for the prelims on FS1. Sounds like the main event was great.
Ok I see you don't get it. Like I said stop comparing Johnson and Evans to Silva. Both of those guys used their defensive wrestling to thwart Davis TD, thus making him worthless to mount any offense. Silva does not have the greatest TDD. If he can get taking down by wrestlers at his own weight class, why can't he get taken down and dominated by a NCAA champion whos much bigger and stronger then him?
Didn't you just get finished watching a bigger, stronger, more athletic and more skilled wrestler decisively lose 4/5 rounds to a striker?
Y'all be doing the most dikkriding these wrasslers but don't let me stop ya
Now you are just reaching. Mendes is not bigger, stronger, or more skilled then Aldo. Silva does not have Aldo TDD. I'm not dikkriding anyone. I'm no fan of Davis. I'm just speaking on the most likely outcome giving both gives strengths, weaknesses, and history
Whatever nikka. Nitpick however you like but the MMA math yall be using to pick fights been some bullshyt
"B-b-but he's bigger"
"b-but stronger! "
"b-b-but he's got teh wrestling!"
He's GOT to win right?
Ok I see you've fallen back on trolling and being an idiot. You do realize we are talking about two fighters in different weight classes right?
