I wish he'd get that rematch when Anderson is healthy so he'd get blown up. That guy is a scrub and wanted his rematch before Anderson could heal... classy. Even with broken ribs Anderson still won so at full health Chael would get shit on... but oh wait he's like in jail.

I don't think I've ever downvoted anything on Joystiq with such ferocity! ;)

They should have put Jon Jones on the cover. Silva is old and Jones represents the new blood. Bad mistake IMO.

For what it's worth, I agree with you. Jones has absolutely eliminated all competition and is clearly the most superior titleholder in UFC today. If he chooses to gain some weight I think he can even gain the heavyweight title.

He'll destroy them both. So far he's been manhandling all his opponents. Never seen anything like since the first years of UFC, when all kinds of weird **** went down.

You're a few days late Joystiq. Most UFC fans knew about this already

Can it be a holographic cover? It would be the best way of showing him dance around. That's all he really does lately.

@wiredtolain So you didn't see him destroy Okami? What about the front kick that KO'd Belfort? This has been a good year for him; You can't really blame him though for "dancing". He's not challenged.

Yeah I don't know why anyone would avoid getting hit...and not just dive in face first and take hits. No why should anyone fight smart dodge attacks and counter attack for quick KO's that's just an idiot's way of fighting.

He acts "challenged" sometimes too. Aside from those you mentioned, the only times he's really performed were outside his weight class, most impressively against Forrest Griffin (destroyed). There was zero reason for him not to put away Maia.
Lately he's been great, and I hope to see it continue. But he has a couple more before I forget the stupid shit he's done.

You're joking right? Anderson Silva is regarded as the greatest P4P fighter in UFC history. What more will it take for you to forget how he clowned Demian Maia? Maybe you should be asking why Maia didn't engage Anderson as well...

Best choice, best fighter in UFC imo. GSP is a close second though.

Silva should be on the cover of every game that comes out this year he's just that bad. But yeah everybody gets beat so it will come someday. Would be good to see him step away with the belt. plus no rematches for dudes that juice.

Superbowl weekend going to be awesome, can't wait for that rematch. Silva needs to move up though, the lt. hvywt champ isn't a Black House guy anymore, no reason for Silva vs Jones not to happen. Also, Condit is the most dangerous guy GSP has fough in a while. Lethal standup with tricky angles, and sharp elbows that can stop a fight anytime.

Silva is kind of an ass. If they wanted to put an ass on the cover, why not just go full on ass and put one of the Diaz brothers on the cover?

Im so glad that Gesepi Pierre guy didn't win.
