UFN 40: Matt Brown vs Erick Silva

[MMA_scientist]

Worse than Phil Baroni?

Toss up. Silva is actually skilled so I have no idea how he can be gassing so bad. With NYBA, you know why is gassing, because he just goes out and throws bombs hoping to get lucky until his arms wear out. With Silva, it defies logic.

Silva will never be anything more than a bum unless he slows things down like Reem did vs Mir

Worst gas tanks in the UFC:

Carwin
Reem
Browne
Silva

Missing anyone?

Theres something screwy with that kid. My two guesses are he is a young good looking ufc fighter that isnt training hard becausehe is surrounded by mountains of ass or he has a nerve problem. On the other hand hes wilted under the pressure of jon fitch and matt brown and they have a tendency to do that to a lot of people.

Going by that fight, would you even need the "on a WW" clause? That was worse than Carwin against Lesnar, or even Rumble against Vitor.

The funny thing is, I was remembering a Silva who came back to take round 2 off of Jon Fitch after a round 1 of largely grappling. Yeah, he gassed bad in the 3rd, but still, his cardio lasted 2 rounds.

Against Kim, it seemed like it lasted about 1 round.

Against Brown, half a round.

If this is a trend, I'd say he needs to finish his next opponent in under a quarter of a round, or he can forget it.

lol

It seems like any time Silva gets "in a fight" he gasses out. I really think that if he didn't have cardio issues, he'd be top 5.
