Anderson looking like he's off the acia

I love the meaning behind his new walkout song but really miss "There ain't no sunshine". Just seems different. Hope he is ready! #UFC208

Round 1 Silva?

Anyone see the judge sleeping with his face on his hand?

Silvas Flying-Knee was "Brunson-Esque" and a major fail... #UFC208

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) February 12, 2017

Great round 1 for @SpiderAnderson . Was having fun in there! Kept his hands up, won in the clinch. Just like we worked. #ufc208

— Stephan Bonnar (@StephanBonnar) February 12, 2017

Brunson needs more of that dirty boxing. Especially against the cage. Clinch, get wild and get a piece of Silva every exchange. IMO #UFC208

Silva is the Ali of MMA

Win or lose, watching @SpiderAnderson fight is like playing a video game and being able to switch styles at any moment. So much skill @ufc

Beautiful elbows from the bottom from The Spider

— Brian Ortega (@BrianTcity) February 12, 2017

Hmm ,I am surprised. Bummer

Not sure about that one? #UFC208

— Jocelyn J Lybarger (@mmajocelyn) February 12, 2017

How was that a win for AS ?? WTF

— Big Ben Rothwell (@RothwellFighter) February 12, 2017

Terrible decision. Brunson won that fight. I love Anderson, but thought he lost. Gotta see scorecards, surprised. Will rewatch to confirm

— Brian Stann (@BrianStann) February 12, 2017

The judges did it again. I thought Brunson did a great job and won that fight. Anderson liked good, he just got out worked.

— Dan Henderson (@danhendo) February 12, 2017

If @Bronson controlled the middle more, he easily wins that fight. Close fight tho. #ufc208 #UFCBrooklyn
