I genuinely don't think silva wants to win and be the champion anymore. He would rather lose and entertain, be the "people's champion" but not have the hard work involved of being a champion.
In his eyes he won the fight and entertained, that's all he cares about.
UFC won't drop him either as he still draws big numbers, and while he still pulls out the kicks and cool knees people will still watch him.
Anderson always has excuses made for him. I remember after the first Chael fight everyone claimed that it was so one sided due to a hip injury. But then in the second fight the exact same thing happened, until Anderson resorted to blatant cheating to stop Chael taking him down in the second round. The when Wiedman did the same to him that Chael did, only with more vicious ground and pound, Anderson started "clowning." He has this habit of "clowning" when he's getting beaten and it's somehow seen as the reason for him getting beaten, rather than a sign he's being out fought.
Anderson is a slime ball, but his fans are blind to it. He's seen as some humble warrior, but he's cheat. He definitely tried to get the fight stopped on Saturday, as he couldn't handle the pace. I didn't see much "clowning" in the first couple of rounds, when Bisping was simply outworking him an at points giving him a good beating. In fact he was probably losing the 3rd round until the knee, which wasn't exactly the result of him being a great fighter, but more Bisping being a great idiot. He blatantly tried to get the fight stopped after the 3rd, despite it being made very clear to him he wasn't over. He'd had enough. He threw 60% less than the last time he fought, when he got caught on steroids. Yet somehow his fans think he lost out of choice.
Hilarious. Bisping the tool.
