The answer is simple.
He showboated like a cocky fool and mailed in a mediocre performance at UFC 112. He had absolutely no consideration for the millions of folks (including myself) who spent their hard earned money to watch this pay per view nonsense.
This was an historic event for the UFC promotion as it was their first show in the middle east. The sport of MMA is growing into a world wide phenomenom and UFC president Dana White and Zuffa went to great lengths to put on this show for all the world to see. The location they set up in Abu Dhabi is incredibly breathtaking.
Why would Anderson Silva pull such a stunt? Arrogance? Stupidity?
It makes absolutley no sense.
He is the most freakishly talented fighter in the world of MMA. Mr. Silva is the best. Period.
It (as Joe Rogan has often said) appears as though Anderson is "operating in another dimension-its like he's in The Matrix".
This event was meant to be a set up and pre cursor for Anderson Silva to meet Canadian Georges St. Pierre in the welterweight division. Dana White has made it clear that Anderson Silva doesn't deserve that opportunity.
Dana is right.
Nobody and I mean nobody likes a showboat.
What a knob.
