Diaz is not trying to ko the guys he’s fighting if you listen to rogan diaz is just trowing his punche’s getting his opponet to cover up and that is when he can tangle them up….then it usually goes to the ground and we all no what happens from there one of the sick’s ground games in mma…

I just saw GSP say that Fedor is, in his opinion, the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Interesting.

It could be a negotiation ploy but consider he could make enough in one well promoted boxing match to almost equal his total MMA earnings.

Personally i would like to see Silva retire, and go box Roy Jones Jr, I like Silva’s stand-up but i jus dont think he can hang with Jones…..seeing how he was atop the p4p rankings for wat, 4 years or something like that…sure he fell off as of late but i still think he would own silva in a boxing match…i could be wrong, i have been wrong b4, but it would setup the greatest war between boxing and mma…if jones wins lots of boxers will say that there more skilled then mma fighters, but if an mma guy won it would be the other way around

On to diaz fighting guida…Guida all the way….nates got some nasty jits but i jus can see him hanging with the best in the division, like the florians and the guidas…hell i bet even sherk would make him look like hes got alot to learn…Diaz needs some good competition and if he gets it maybe i see him being a contender, late next year sometime…besides, i think bj is gonna be on top of that division for sometime to come still, even after GSP dominates his ass in january…i cant see a 155er owning bj at this point in his career…hes jus to strong for the division and way to skilled to be beat by these guys

let him retire he thinks hes too good tu tu tu im guessing cote is guna knock him out after that comment, to me that shows hes to confident an thiks hes un touchable, if u think that silva ive got 2 words “chuck liddell”. All he needs is to get knocked down a peg then maybe he will want to fight for the next ten years an because greatest mma fighter of all time

I believe he also said he wants to fight 6 times a year as well……
It may be an oppritunity to gain Dana and the Brothers Fertitta attention to make more $ per fight ie a early negotioation ploy imo

“I’ll retire next year, I already gave my all. I don’t need to prove anything for anyone and within one year I’ll put my gloves aside.”

Silvas quote from a show in Brazil that will air next weekend

I agree the word is thrown around loosely but it feels different coming from Silva who may want to try another discipline, maybe boxing for the big bucks or just training.

Retire is a word and a action that is apparently used loosely in MMA

Seriously why in the world would he retire? Well I guess he could “retire” for 5 months fight Roy Jones Jr and then come back to the UFC right Randy?

I know this is off topic but im curious if anyone else heard the reports today that Anderson Silva has stated he will retire next year, it was on “the score” in Toronto.
