Anderson Silva Fighting to Survive, Not "Win"

This is most certainly an issue I and many other detractors of Andersons recent form have been pushing. There is no disputing Anderson's credentials, talent, achievements or ranking. Equally it's virtually indisputable that he has been fighting to survive, not "win" in easily his past three Octagon outings. Now before I get heckled by the good internet community who smelt the salty balls of Anderson long before Chael did, Randy Couture talking to FightersOnlyMagazine would like to land professional creedance to my opinion,

"Anderson needs to look at the spirit of which he’s been competing potentially. It appears to me that he has just been doing his best not to lose instead of going out like he did early on and competing to win and take guys out.

He’s just doing enough to get by and to be successful and to keep winning and eventually that kind of fighting attitude will catch up with you, you know? You have to kind of go out, risk it, and lay it all the line. That’s just the way it is and I think Anderson has kind of strayed away from that a little bit."



The interview develops into a discussion of the UFC 117 Main Event and Coutures wish to fight Silva.

What say you though once more, my MMAForReal brethern? Are you with or against me?
