What's up with people complaining about Silva....talking about his bad ribs? Are people saying that he just wanted to make up an excuse or something? Or have people forgotten the dozens of fighters that injure themselves in training and are forced to pull out of fights regularly?
You have to understand that a lot of hate that people have for Anderson. A lot of it comes from Fedor worshipers that are so pissed that some people think Anderson is better pound for pound than Fedor. That naturally brings hate from all of those elitists that acted like they know so much because they saw a PRIDE event a few times. The Fedor lot is a very interesting one. Some people really think that losing in 69 seconds looks better than coming back from being dominated and winning.

Then you got the GSP worshipers who feel the same as the Fedor fans but without the elitist arrogance.
Then there are the people who just hate him because he's great. It comes with the territory.
The funny thing about some of the Anderson haters is that they have torn down Shogun's loss to Forrest, and Big Nog's loss to Mir because of injuries. Now some of the same people think it's crazy that Anderson had a rib injury. To me it doesn't matter because you shouldn't fight if you're so hurt. You get in the cage with a pre-existing injury, then you're saying you're good enough to fight.
