This past weekend at UFC 208, MMA icon Anderson Silva snapped a 2-fight skid as he picked up a unanimous decision win over Derek Brunson<\/a> in a highly anticipated scrap between two of the most exciting fighters in the middleweight division. <\/p>\n

Silva was awarded the unanimous decision win<\/a>, however on paper, many believe Brunson won the fight:<\/p>\n

\"UFC<\/p>\n

In addition to the stats below, Brunson also landed two takedowns, briefly taking the fight to the ground before Silva managed to create a scramble and return to his feet.<\/p>\n

Now, you can read the final Derek Brunson statement on the matter thanks to a final statement on social media<\/a> regarding the bout after fans told him to ‘move past’ the fight:<\/p>\n

“UFC 208 in summary (probably a good read):”<\/p>\n

\u201cTo those who say move on. Leave your house unlocked and let someone come in and take whatever they want. Don\u2019t file a police report, move on cause it happened. Don\u2019t be a poor sport, people get robbed all the time. One more let your wife or gf have an affair, suck it up the same day cry baby it happens, stop bringing it up move it. I think you got my point by now. Fighting Anderson Silva was a signature and career defining moment that was stolen from me. I watched the fight twice today with a group of people. We scored the fight giving myself only the solid strikes I landed. We gave Anderson the strikes landed and the punches it look like he landed.”<\/p>\n

\u201cRound 1: I landed 39 kicks and punches to Anderson 8. We measured each other for 2 minute in the middle of the octagon, the next 2 minutes I threw fakes backing him up and had him against the cage where I dirty boxed. He then came forward the last 45 secs trying a flying knee in which I blocked and he landed on his back and I was on top of him getting off 2 punches. Clear round for me.”<\/p>\n

\u201cRound 2: I landed 16 he landed 16 but I had a takedown. Only round I could see going to Anderson”<\/p>\n

\u201cRound 3: I was the early aggressor landing jab leg kick and straight left uppercut hook when the round started cause I could\u2019ve seen it being 1-1. I landed 31 kicks and punches and got a takedown with 1:30 left. Anderson landed 18 strikes (7 was from his back where they don\u2019t usually count). ”<\/p>\n

\u201cIn conclusion several say he defended takedowns, you do not get points for defending takedowns or punches. You only get credit for landing. He\u2019s a high level striker, I did not fight scared or showed him too much respect. I\u2019ve sparred and trained with top kick boxers and Jon Jones for years who\u2019s the best fighter currently. But Anderson\u2019s counter striking is better than all. So I had to be patient otherwise he finishes you like others in the past.Never leave to judges lol. That\u2019s what judges are for. Otherwise make it a fight to finish or someone quits. Dumbest statement ever. 19 of 23 media outlets had me winning. Including Dana who said it on an interview Fox Sports after the fight Ariel Helwani, Damon and Cormier along with 85% of others. I clearly won 29-28, some may say 30-27 but for sure 29-28. I lost a win , money and a career defining win over a legend who I would\u2019ve been honored to have. Don\u2019t ask me anymore about the fight I\u2019m done talking about it. On to the next!\u201d”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
