Anderson Silva did not throw his fight with Chris Weidman

Thanks to my opponent for continuing to make great arguments.Firstly, Weidman did not knock out Silva with a jab. Please, examine this picture (1). After Silva pretended to wobble, Weidman stepped forward with a right hand, then a right back fist (this is important) that forced Silva slightly off balance. Weidman then launched a left hook (1) not a jab that caught Silva square on the chin, knocking him out. For a gif of this combo, see (2). Weidman's right-hand, then right back fist set Silva off balance, forcing him to bend back and right as far as he could, where he was perfectly defenseless to a left hook, which Weidman unleashed. His eyes then rolled back in his head, his head bounced off the floor, and after some ground and pound by Weidman, it was declared over by referee Herb Dean. As Silva woke up he tried to grapple with Herb Dean. These are all clear signs of a knockout. Please watch the gif (2) in the sources and you'll see what I'm talking about.To the contract status: He could retire, but once again in the post fight interview he said he would not. (3)I concede the legacy argument. However, there is still no apparent good motive for him intentionally losing the fight. In the post-fight press conference, he says repeatedly he tried his best and respect should be given to Weidman. (4)To my argument #4) I know he didn't throw any shots that could have hurt Weidman. However, part of his style is waiting for an opening to throw the big shots. He is probably the best counter-fighter there has ever been, therefore it makes sense he wouldn't try to hurt Weidman when he didn't see an opening.To my argument #5) Please take a look at the FightMetric statistics (4). Silva landed 14 of 24 significant strikes for an accuracy rate of 58%. Weidman landed 16 of 43 significant strikes, for an accuracy rate of 37%. Silva struck back to the point that Weidman only hit him two times more than Silva hit Weidman. In round two alone, they both landed 5 significant strikes. To say Silva wasn't fighting back is simply inaccurate, as proven by these statistics.To my argument #6) See above. It may not have seemed like he was counter-striking, but he was.To my argument #9) I noticed this too actually. My thinking is that Weidman saw he was knocked out and did not want to hurt him more than he had to, as he's said before he has great respect for him (see post fight interview). That or he was so elated to see Silva go down he wasn't thinking clearly.On why the fight was supposedly thrown:Reason #1: This is once more disproved by both his post-fight interview and press conference, both of which he says he will not retire.Reason #2: Once more, he has said he is not retiring. Roy Jones wasn't surprised because: ""With Anderson, what I saw, was a guy who was playing because for so long now he's been wanting to box me," Jones said. "I don't even think the fight with this kid, Weidman, was on his mind. I think he was really out to show he had the razzle dazzle for his boxing goals because he tried to prove a point like, 'I've done this long enough, I want to see how I do at boxing.'" (5)Reason #3: I don't understand how it would cost the UFC money. Think about it, if it would cost them money, why would Dana White always be talking about superfights? That doesn't make sense. I agree Silva losing has its advantages from a business standpoint, however the superfights could be sold as rematches as well, regardless of who wins. I look forward to hearing my opponent's response!Sources:1: http://thebiglead.fantasysportsven.netdna-cdn.com...2: http://1.bp.blogspot.com...3: http://www.youtube.com...4: http://www.youtube.com...5: http://www.mmamania.com...
