Cormier beats Silva

Cormier beats Silva, Daniel Cormier is the guy who got busted by the backward affliction that rocked UFC 200, absitively to action anyway, had his paycheck bargain in half, didn’t accuse about it, won every annular adjoin an best fable — and still got booed.

Cormier, the Ultimate Angry Championship’s ablaze ample champion, exhausted crumbling alloyed aggressive arts superstar Anderson Silva on Saturday night, assertive all three circuit of their non-title action to win 30-26 on all three scorecards.

Yet neither Cormier’s achievement nor his aloof attributes in the face of the Jon Jones absolute biologic that broke his anniversary was abundant to anticipate the T-Mobile Arena army from cloudburst exact animadversion on the 37-year-old above Olympic wrestler.

Fans of the UFC accept taken it aloft themselves to acrylic Cormier as one of the company’s arch villains, for affidavit that are not altogether clear. Away from the octagon Cormier is absolutely polite, humorous, amorous about his career and has been through abominable tragedy, a lot of decidedly the afterlife of an baby babe 13 years ago.

Cormier was ashamed if Jones activated absolute for a banned actuality and was yanked from the capital accident just three canicule afore action night.

“I accept been training for a specific guy for eight weeks,” Cormier said. “It is actual difficult to about-face opponents. (Silva) is the greatest fighter we accept anytime seen. I did what I had to do.

“I was sad (when Jones was withdrawn). I accept formed harder to action Jones and abolish my accident to him. A lot of guys would not yield this fight, but I acquainted I had to.”

If Cormier had absitively adjoin angry a backup adversary on abbreviate notice, as he would accept been altogether advantaged to do, it would accept larboard a broad aperture in the card. It would accept larboard the UFC in the lurch, and amount those aforementioned admirers who jeered amount for money.

Cormier concluded up authoritative a affirmed $500,000 for his efforts, not the $1 actor he would accept accustomed for demography on Jones. Silva, as a accolade for dispatch up at the endure minute, fabricated $600,000.

The action was not decidedly competitive. Silva is now 41 and continued accomplished his best. Cormier, bigger, stronger, is one of the UFC’s top pound-for-pounders.

Unsurprisingly, Cormier acclimated his weight advantage and his angry skills, demography the bender to the arena and befitting Silva on his back. The army hated it.

Sure, it wasn’t the a lot of exhilarating, but the negativity was excessive, black and casting the organization’s fan abject in a poor light.

At atomic Silva got the acclaim he deserved, the abundant man is branch against the end of his career assuming he has as abundant affection as ever.

“This was a big claimed claiming for me,” he said. “I had no time to get ready. This is you can do annihilation you wish to, annihilation you put your apperception to.”
