Did Anderson Silva..

Carry Leites and Maia in their title fights against him?

No

Not a chance. 

No. He completely disrespected Maia calling him a "playboy" their entire fight. He just didn't want to get wreckless and get taken down.

And it’s not like he’s carried other Brazilian’s… He nearly kicked Vitor’s head off when they fought.

He had beef with vitor. Im sure you guys remember the talk after these fights. Just rewatched most of 117 before posting. It was a strange fight and prime andy never really put maia in danger. Just talked and toyed with him.

I thought he had beef with the ufc then as well so he didn't "perform"

Did you see the Leites fight? I can see why people were mad at him for the Maia fight (I wasn’t - who wants to go to the ground with Maia?), but the boring Leites fight was all Leites fault. He kept falling to his back the entire fight motioning for Andy to come in - ref had to stand him up so many times it’s gotta be a record.

Maia, on the other hand, was trying to strike with Andy. It was during that Maia period. I think a lot of the “blame Andy” from that fight started with Dana, who was pissed because it was the first fight in Dubai, right after they bought 10% of the company and it wasn’t a regular “jump off the couch” Andy fight.
