The man who cannot be defeated by any other man, may end up a victim of his own arrogant pride.

The man who cannot be defeated by any other man, may end up being easily defeated by his own arrogant pride.

================The greatest fighter of our time. This is proven. Only to be defeated by his own arrogance. Do not get me wrong. I like and follow his professional fighting. I am not one of those who enjoys Mr. Silva's final defeat or any defeat. I am a fan. I am saddened at how he lost this fight. I have been saddened at his arrogant shows in the ring. Respect and honor should always be maintained in and out of the ring. His lack of respect and honor for the fighter before him lost him his title. I am sorry for having to write this about Mr. Silva.
=============
This is not just about Mr. Silva. It is about any person. who begins to believe that they are so much better than anyone else. That you become blinded by your own superiority. That someone who is not as talented as you will just show up and blind side you with severe embarrassment. This is about you the reader and me. No matter what position you hold. You have an effect on people. An arrogant doctor will lose their patient, who was supposed to survive. An arrogant lawyer will lose justice for their client, who needed it most. An arrogant business person will lose contracts and cost the corporation additional losses.

Ronda Rousey has lost the championship at UFC 193. Respect and honor. I believe lost her the title. Ronda Rousey is very dominant and that no other woman could ever defeat her.
Then in her personal life. She took another woman's husband.
During the beginning of the fight. It is honorable to go forward to express respect your opponent. Ronda Rousey does not and rejects Holly Holm.
As it turns out Holly Holm is a preachers daughter. As the new champion. Will Holly Holm maintain respect and honor as a preachers daughter?

Anderson Silva is 45 years old. I still think positive in regards of Mr. Silva. Despite what I've written. None of us humans are perfect. Mr. Silva has 2 fights left on his contract. I do like the stories I've read where Dana doesn't know what to do with Silva. Throw him into the ring with McGregor or Pettis or both. Allow Silva to fight new up and coming fighters or a mix of the two groups of fighters. But, Silva is 45 years old. I still would want to see a good fight. I would want to see a fight with McGregor but McGregor has retired. I think the retirement is a mental retirement for McGregor. Which would be a good decision on his part. No one likes the feelings of being helpless and sometimes that is what it takes for the self destructive power of pride to die. The future of Anderson Silva can still be a great future. Maybe, it is time for Anderson Silva to teach those young lions from his country. Maybe, just one more fight or two. You know no more fights is still a valid option. You know going home as a brain trust of honor is still a reward. Because, Mr. Silva you are a brain trust as valuable as any super smart person or PHD person from your nation. Mr. Silva you can become a fierce force of self determining inspiration for every human being in your country. When the UFC comes to your nation you can be that face that the whole world will still see.
