Is this UFC fighter too cocky?

Post by Homer »

He holds the longest winning streak in UFC history. Many organizations say he's the best ever in his weight class, fewer say he's the best pound for pound mixed martial arts fighter ever. Most say he's too damn cocky in the ring. What do you think? Brief clip from last night.

I recall a fight he had with Demian Maia, UFC 112, in Abu Dhabi, which was embarrassing. It looks like Silva was doing it again but this time got tagged. Obviously a great fighter but the cockiness is silly. He's 38 now. How long can he continue in this tough sport?

I haven't watched UFC since it was supposedly cancelled. Is it back on True channels?

I know nothing about UFC on Thai cable. When I do watch, which is rare, it's a torrent file.

It was on Fox Movie Premier most Thursdays at 10.00pm and then on Sundays if a World Championship event was showing.
Courage is grace under pressure and when circumstances change you change your mind.
