Anderson Silva did not throw his fight with Chris Weidman

I agree that we should have this debate again in 6-8 months as more things arise. 1) I managed to find an article from Herb Dean's perspective: "It was almost a replay of the pantomime that he had done," he said. "I saw him go down. I respond to it whether it's pantomime or not, but to be honest, I wasn't sure. But I'm going to respond and get in close to get a better look. Once I got in there and got a better look, he was unconscious to me."(1) Herb Dean, who was in the ring testifies that Silva was unconscious. It's easy to see how some people think he wasn't, as Herb Dean first thought he was taunting. I agree that just because he was knocked out doesn't mean he couldn't have thrown the fight, but it puts to rest the dive theory at least and makes it more probable that he didn't throw the fight.2) Your jujitsu argument makes sense, and I agree it would be a ballsy move for him to allow himself to get knocked out if he did. That being said, he could have let Weidman KO him with ground and pound. That makes more sense than letting Weidman defeat him at his near-mythical stand-up game. 3) I agree on that.4) Thanks for clarifying the money motive, that seems the best of all the theories. I don't think he didn't have any interest in winning. If he didn't he wouldn't have tried his antics to mess with Weidman's head. Weidman came pretty closer than a lot of Silva fans (including me) thought he would to beating him in the first round, he took him down and did good work and attempted good submissions. This caused Silva to start trying his mind games. When they didn't work as they had with other fighters, he simply increased them more than ever seen. That is why he acted in such a way. Was it the best Anderson Silva ever preformed? Absolutely not. Did he go in with a mindset of letting Weidman win? Totally different.5) Weidman's post fight reaction I explained before. He was elated the moment he knocked Silva out, in shock afterwards. That's another thing open to interpretation, but the case is pretty clear in my opinion. How Silva got knocked out I also thoroughly explained before and Herb Dean even said that he was. Herb Dean has seen countless fighters knocked out. I think he's as good an expert on the subject as any. Weidman's missing punches I also explained before, as they could be either nerves or he saw Silva was knocked out. Silva did counterstrike, as shown by FightMetric, he was waiting for an opening most likely. Silva's clowning didn't get to Weidman as much as it did to other fighters, so he amped it up. As for the walking sideways, that looks to me to be more taunting.In conclusion, I believe the fight was neither fixed not thrown. As my opponent stated before, neither one of us can definitively prove our cases. After examining the evidence, particularly the evidence during the fight I believe Silva was legitimately, unintentionally knocked out, and I hope you believe so too.Please provide in-depth reasons for your voting, both me and masterdebater1987 put a lot of time and effort in this debate and deserve it. Everyone has an opinion on this, but try to read the debate in an objective mindset and then vote accordingly. Finally, this has been a great debate by an outstanding opponent, especially since it is his first on Debate.org. Unlike Georges St-Pierre, I am impressed with your performance (2). Couldn't resist a touch of humor.I look forward to seeing the results and conclusion of this fantastic debate, as well as the evidence that surfaces in the coming months. Thank you for reading.Sources:1: http://www.mmajunkie.com...2: http://www.youtube.com...
