Anderson Silva

Anderson Silva:Anderson Silva is the best. That's really all I can say about the man. It is the best MMA fighter of all time and after tonight, no real rivals for him to 185 of the hand in case of Chael Sonnen defeating Brian Stann at UFC 136. Brian Stann Fight, Marcos Muñoz, and Chris Leben do not really seem so interesting and I'm fighting someone more concerned to choose a winner because it has aged, and not because they were the superior fighter. Editorial aside, tonight's performance is best described as Anderson Silva being Anderson Silva. He took his time in the first round as he often does in order to get Yushin Okami's timing. When Okami clinch up against the cage, he was battered with some knees to the body that caused his ribs to bruise a shade of pink showing the damage that Anderson can do. He took his time, perhaps savoring the moment of having an arena full of Brazilians cheer and sing for him. It felt much like a soccer match. The round ended with him almost finishing the fight with a head kick.In the second, we saw what makes Anderson the best fighter of all time. His ability to slip punches is stuff of legend with his head movement keeping Okami at a distance. He dropped Yushin with what looked to be a jab but let the Japanese fighter back to his feet. He then dropped Okami again and this time he didn't give Thunder any time to recover. Battering him with punches, knees, and elbows to the body, the referee was forced to stop the fight for the sake of fighter safety. There's not much else to say really. Anderson is the greatest UFC fighter in the history of the organization. He's the most decorated champion and the winningest fighter. He's undefeated in the promotion with a record of 14-0. His overall fight record is 31-4. He's defended the middleweight belt nine times. Yushin Okami was supposed to be a legitimate challenger for Anderson. The mass of an average weight, which had the tools to make this fight interesting, Unfortunately for him, just not the same as the Brazilian fighter, A 03.10 in the business, is one of the most important middleweight sport. The loss drops the bottom and definitely need to build your way back in the division.
