Dana White Says Only “Creeps” Think UFC 162 Hurts Anderson Silva’s Legacy

Do you think Anderson Silva’s knockout UFC 162 loss to Chris Weidman tarnishes his legacy as the best of all-time?

If so, and you believe UFC President Dana White, you just might be a creep or a weirdo.

Now that Silva’s reign of dominance has finally come to an end, White predicted that “all the creeps and the weirdos [will] come out of the woodwork” to question whether Silva was really as good as was hyped.

But as far as White is concerned, Silva’s legacy as the best persists even though the Middleweight Championship now belongs to Chris Weidman.

And though many are particularly judgmental given the extent to which Silva’s cocky in-ring antics facilitated Weidman’s knockout blow, White argues that those same critics would be praising the former champion’s style had he won Saturday’s match.

“This doesn’t do anything to his legacy. The stuff that he was doing…if he did that stuff and won the fight, they’d be talking about what a genius he is,” claims White.
