Co-sign
Junior Dos Santos vs Gabriel Gonzaga is set. I'll be cheering for Dos Santos. He has the best hands in the HW division IMO.

by the way, Big L for life

Yeah id like Dos santos to win as well and if this stays mostly standing then i think he can. As u said, he has really good hands much better than what we usually see in the heavyweight division.

and yeah

BIG

After this epiosde of TUF I think I know why Rampage retired.

If he was gonna have that attitude towards training, Why take the job? He sucks as a trainer but I still wanna see him beat Rashad.

Wes Simms (sp?) was a freaking clown. He shouldve taken the fight seriously. I dont see his oponent as a heavy weight. He'll get murdered in that division.

In any case, Silva is arrogant as hell in interviews.

Silva is a lot of things, but one thing he isn't is humble.

In the vast majority of his interviews he is. Look at most of his post and pre- fight interviews, exclusive interviews etc. He comes across as a very humble person. Im not sure how u came to believe that he is arrogant as hell in his interviews.

Why do you feel this way?

I am late for the DREAM commentary, but here goes.

I've always felt that Bob Sapp isn't a fighter at heart.

At least Sakuraba won.

Aoki still looks like a dork.

Minowa vs Choi....*Sigh* Goddamnit Japan.

In Anderson Silva's interview about facing Vitor Belfort:

“I don’t think, I’m sure he wouldn’t fight me standing,” Silva told Sensei SporTV in Brazil. “Nobody would exchange hits with me. To him, it seems illogical for anyone to want to compete with him in stand up. If I went to face someone from jiu-jitsu, I wouldn’t go to the floor.”

I had a feeling that it was going to be that interview u would reference. And really that is less arrogance than confidence in his abilities. He even referenced not going to the floor with a jiujutsu guy. I remember lyoto machida saying in the countdown to the rashad fight that he didnt think anyone could defend against his standup style. Similar to this, that is just confidence in his abilities as lyoto has also shown in numerous interviews to be a humble guy.

He said that nobody can possibly stand with him...

And I'm not basing my entire opinion on a single interview, thanks. That was just an example.

He said that no one would want to stand with him. Its his strength and he believes that no one would want to play to his strength. That is confidence. If Roger gracie or Marcelo garcia claim that no one wants to go to the ground with them and would instead prefer to keep it standing, it wouldnt be arrogant but just them being confident of their own abilities and aware of the tactics that people will likely use against them.

There are far more interviews with Anderson being extremely humble than those where u can find traces of this so called arrogance.

Ahh. I understand you a little more. His sentiments may seem a little aggrandizing coming from him. Does Anderson believe his skills are simply elevated above all else or is he merely aware of his abilities in comparison to those of his opponent?

I believe the latter, but I can see how someone could get a different impression. It's a difficult question anyway. Where do we draw the line between confidence and arrogance? I think there is an inflated image that separates the confident from the cocky. Anderson lacks that delusion you'd see in truly arrogant fighters, such as BJ Penn.
