Referee Wiped Down Silva Before UFC 97 Bout
17123
Referee Yves Lavigne says he wiped down Anderson Silva and got approval from Thales Leites' corner prior to their main event bout Saturday at UFC 97.
An SI.com live blog observed that as Silva entered the Octagon, he rubbed lubricant -- applied to his face by a commission-approved cutman -- onto his torso. In the wake of "greasing" allegations against Georges St. Pierre's corner at UFC 94, the observation received critical attention.
However, Lavigne, who watched a replay of Saturday's event, said the cameras did not reveal that both himself and Leites' corner had noticed Silva repeatedly touch his face and body during his warm-up lap around the Octagon. Lavigne said Leites' corner motioned for the referee to inspect Silva's body, although Lavigne said he would have proceeded regardless.
Whew

thats sorta how jiu-jitsu really is though, you're really not getting that back unless they "give it to you" in the sense that you counter one of their mistakes on the ground, however the problem of not being able to press up against the cage also prevents you from taking their back
like i said, thats a counter, but one that may not be in the game, most times when someone gets their back taken its actually because of thatexact turnover when mounted, other times include when one's pressed against the fence and like u said the stuffed takedown but thats usually only if theperson who failed the take down is tired and turtles up on all foursOriginally Posted by Clutchshooter

no but exact way i decribed it is the only way. (in the demo anyway)
although im getting an idea of a method to try as i type this. perhaps attempting to spin over from a stuffed takedown.
still there are more than two situation in which someone can take their opponents back.
realistically though i get that it's a videogame and it cant be exact.

Word? Idiots? AGAIN SINCE WHEN IS SILVA NOT WORTH %$%% ON THE GROUND? He has GREAT jiu jitsu and his wrestling is TEN FOLDS then what he used to be. POINT BLANK, there is little to no disparity in terms of ground skills when comparing Leites and Silva in MMA. This is getting ridiculious. The ONLY place I see people applauding Silva is in this thread. Hell Dana had to apologize for his performance and I've NEVER seen Dana say this about one of his fights. I guess Dana is an idiot as well huh?Originally Posted by MayhemMonkey000
I can't believe people are saying this... This is mixed martial arts and the ground game is part of it, and Silva is DAMN good on the ground. Point blank, he didn't do much to engage either. Since when has Silva been afraid to go to the ground? Why should be scared to go to the ground when he's jitz in MMA is on par with Leites... You can not compare Floyd's style of fighting to what Silva did if you know anything about boxing and the Philly Shell...Originally Posted by Clutchshooter

He fought a smart fight and that's it... no different from what Floyd Mayweather does... hit and runaway, hit and run and win through the judges score card because that's what needed to win.
Yeah the fans might not be happy, but he won't be the one walking home a loser and a knotted up face...
it's astounding how more people dont realize this.
fans opinion's be damned. and the whole 'fans make the fighters' argument is assenine because there isnt one person who is going to quit watching mma because of that fight.
a win is a win.
dude is heading home with the w, the record, and the bigger cheque.
And can we just stop with the casual fan BS... Because the casual fans aren't the only ones shaking their head at Silva.
Listen to you idiots saying Silva
