Every fight I go into, no matter what happens, it could not be worse than Anderson Silva.

[Anderson punched me in the chin] Repeatedly and I was very confused. I tried to punch him and he literally moved his head out of the way and looked at me like I was stupid for doing it. He looked at me like - “Why would you do such a stupid thing?” He looked at me like - “Oh, did you really think you were going to hit me? What a stupid thing to think, you slow slow white boy.” Then he punched me. I felt embarrassed for even trying to punch him. I felt like some kid trying to wrestle his dad.

Purple Rain: Anderson Silva's Confounding Talent - Head Kick Legend

A fighter like GSP might be content to dominate his weight class, show up in a well-tailored suit and talk up every mediocre opponent like they are a great challenge and that will endear him to the fans and to Dana White. What that means for GSP is that he will without a doubt be more successful, in the traditional sense, than Anderson Silva will ever be. Fans value hard work and modesty and see talents like Silva as confusing and irritating. Anderson really didn’t even need to train for this fight, and honestly, with him slowing down like he did, I doubt he really did train very hard for this fight. Does it matter? He still easily dominated one of the top fighters in his weight class with no challenges in the Middleweight Division on the horizon anytime soon that will motivate him.

Following the event, Dana has gone into spin mode, apologizing to the fans and promising some way to make it up to them. Well, guess what Dana? You can make it up to us by putting together a fight that many people have clamored for since GSP beat B.J. Penn last January. Instead, you’ve provided us with back-to-back mismatches for the middle- and welterweight champions in the span of a month.
