not really as he would have been flagged for roiding after the fact. Its kind of criminal the way that important detail (when it happened and to this day) nobody talks about it. All people want to say is for 4 rounds he controlled Silva and would have won if he didn't do this and that

I remembered that as well, Chael has popped a lot so I wasn't exactly sure after which fights it was :skip:

I remember posting in the fight thread on sohh for UFC117, we all were like :dwillhuh: because we all thought Silva was going to decapitate him for all the smack he talked.

That fight was a beautiful story, Silva never broke and after what would have been a 50-45 scored fight I don't know of many humans who would have had that in them to pull off that late sub
That was the fight that got me hooked on the UFC...

Garbrandt destroyed Alemdia, who was next and a solid vet in Mizigaki. He's undefeated. No where near Hendo situation. I can't stand the guy but I will give him his props. He's got personality. He will sell the fight and now run out of face offs like a wimp. Cruz wants him. They will sell the fight which is something that division needs. Cruz will humble the shyt out of him and it will be glorious. I don't see what is the backlash.
No backlash on my part. After he beat Almeida it was clear to me he would fight Cruz sooner than later. Team Alpha Male is desperate to get a W against Dominick.

No hes not you fukking bum

2013 was a long time ago :camby:

And get the fukk outta here with this "Garbrandt has personality" shyt

Dude can barely articulate and has nothing to actually say

Producing a sound byte and being articulate are two different things. The Diaz bros aren't articulate but they produce sound bytes for days. I'd say Cody produces soundbytes with his trash talk to Cruz at minimum (his Caraway comments were great too). On the Mizugaki tip, yeah that dude's been done for a while imo but Cody was trying to get a Caraway match-up but as usual Mr. Tate ducked hard.

What does 2013 have to do with anything? Mizigaki is a top ten fighter. Just because you only watch big names doesn't mean you can speak out on things you don't know. Garbrandt is a rising star who's destroying everyone. Him and Cruz don't like each other. That's the fight to make

UFC 205 looking good so far

Woodley vs Wonderboy
Weidman vs Romero
Edgar vs Stephens
Cowboy vs Gastelum
Rashad vs Kennedy
Thiago Alves vs Al Iaquinta

Plus, you have Alvarez/Conor in the works for this card. And Holloway has called out Aldo for UFC 205. This NY card has the potential to be real special. :wow:

No one should call out Aldo unless he's fighting with the real strap.
