UFC 112

Perhaps, one of the most disgusting and most unbearable fights in the history of UFC, just took place yesterday at Abu Dhabi. Anderson Silva, who happens to be the defending middleweight champion and the current pound-for-pound king, orchestrated a perfect display of tackiness and crude behavior we do not expect from a man who has made his mark in the UFC history just after 10 flawless fights. I was wincing everytime he made fun of the weaker man in the octagon, Demian Maia, making clown faces and fooling around the ring like a jester. Hats off to Maia for having such a strong heart, even in the face of a busted nose, a swollen left eye, and most of all, a very tacky and rowdy opponent. I have never seen such display of disrespect ever since I started watching UFC. Personally, I do not condemn fighters who talk trash outside of the octagon; but by the time you lay foot in that very ring, respect your opponent as much as you respect yourself. He deserves it. Silva may have won his belt last night, but he still came out as the biggest loser of them all - losing his reputation and probably his shot against the defending welterweight champion George St.-Pierre. Silva does not deserve to fight this man who is best at what he does, while keeping his feet on the ground. If every UFC fight were a battle of humility and honor, GSP is the undefeated, undisputed, and pound-for-pound king. You're not at the prime of your career and yet your head has already swollen up big time, huh? You've got to be kidding me, the Spider. Go back to your water spout and learn something we call humility before someone your size shoves his hand up that Brazilian ass of yours.
